By the way you sulky brat the answer is to be!

Okay, I give, I give! I finally caved and saw the first dvd of "Slings & Arrows" tonight. Absolutely hysterical. At first I didn't even recognize Paul Gross with the long curly hair. I'll be humming "Cheer up Hamlet" for a week. Some of the special features include scenes from future episodes, so I'm doubly mournful of the fact I'll have to wait for Netflix to bring me the next one.

Netflix also brought me a first season dvd of "West Wing". I had been feeling nostalgic for the show, especially with another Sorkin show around the corner. Most of my initial reactions still stand. It was amusing to listen to the pilot commentary and details I've never noticed before, like Toby & CJ talking in the background, even in scenes they weren't in.

Alas I have no Shakespeare icon, but the Alice in Wonderland quote is equally appropriate at the New Burbage, don't you think?
