My Mom Watches Every Show
I’m taking a Writing Episodic Drama class, and I don’t watch any dramas, really. Except Mad Men. And I used to watch Lost, when it was on.

Friends With Kids looks SO good. I still haven’t seen Kissing Jessica Stein, but Ira & Abby blew me away. I think Jennifer Westfeldt is a really interesting writer with a really different point of view. I literally can’t wait until March 9 to see this… but I am going to.

Tumblr, I want to like you. I am determined to do so, in fact. I am already on board with your name, even the missing letter! Shine-on-you-crazy-diamond and so on. But I wanted to add a fancy background to my page and you won’t let me.
Look, I know we’ve only just met, but you need to know this…
Please welcome the wonderful Paul F. Tompkins to Tumblr.
