I think Liz Lemon is wearing your J. Crew origami dress (in red) on 30 Rock. Does it sound stalkerish that I know you have that dress? LOL. I am lusting after it but not sure if it is long enough on me.

I have a madewell shirt that v owns (or maybe just wanted). I am sad to say that it was not made well.

[thedutchgirl]

I intend to try that dress on tonight at J Crew. I love it.

Sorry to hijack the post, but another +v+ stalking question. V, how did the southern BBQ go and what restaurants did you end up going to?

We again ended up in Charlotte for less time than we had thought (thankfully -- we're down there for awful reasons), so we went to Mac's again, but we went to Price's Chicken Coop the second day! Very good, except that we had to eat in our rental car! For dinner we went to places in the complex our hotel is in.

We'll probably go again in June so hopefully I'll have more to report then!

Sorry you are down for bad reasons, but I look forward to hearing what you think of other places.

I wore that dress yesterday! I am not watching 30 Rock right now because my husband isn't home yet, but I'll am very excited for that. I want to be Liz Lemon when I grow up

bncha, was the Madewell shirt striped and from this winter? If so, I agree. And the color was not what I had hoped (after ordering it as a final sale item).

indeed. It got rough after the second wash. Oh well.

Now I need to watch 30 rock to see this dress!

LOL. I never saw anything at Madewell that spoke to me until I discovered their jeans. I love the Rail Straight jeans.

Man, I really love that origami dress, but the combination of big boobs and a long torso makes the waist hit a few inches too high on me.

Whatevs. I have a HUGE girl crush on Tina Fey.

There were Homeland references! And a Murder She Wrote reference! And they were at the rooftop garden that I would give my left arm to visit!

I'm so sad there are only 13 episodes left

I quit watching right after I posted because my friend called. I'll have to find it online this weekend.

30 Rock is getting canceled?

Do you watch Parks and Recreation? It's my new favorite Thursday night show.

[thedutchgirl]

I'm going to miss Liz Lemon! I am sort of glad, though, that they are canceling it rather than trying to make it work without Alec Baldwin. He makes the show, well the chemistry between Alec and Tina. It wouldn't be the same without him.

[thedutchgirl]

I loathe Hazel.

I felt like they wanted an hour for last night's episode and couldn't get it. I'm hoping that 13 episodes means they can keep James Marsden (hot). I know some people want Liz and Jack to get together, but that creeps me out a little.

I never got into Community either. And I started watching The Office once it started getting less good. Do you feel like 30 Rock speaks to you because it's in NYC?

[thedutchgirl]

That's exactly what I want to happen. I feel like they've been making Liz prettier lately (they used to make her really schlumpy), to justify James Marsden. I like it.

I love the way that 30 Rock is so referential of other things. It gets sort of meta, and I think I like feeling in the know.

I also have tried to like Community and Parks & Rec. Both are funny, but not in a way that makes me want to keep watching. I quit the Office about the time Jim and Pam got married. It was already less funny.

I think it is more the complete absurdity of the show. I love how weird it is. But I like the NY scenery. I think Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23 speaks to me in large part because they shoot a lot in my neighborhood so a lot of the street scenery is very, very familiar to me.

dutchgirl, my guess right now is that the show will end with Liz pregnant with James Marsden's baby. I hope that's what happens. The Jack thing is icky.

James Marsden's character is such a loser, though! Hot, but a loser.

That's cool that Don't Trust the B was shot in your neighborhood! That show is pretty cute.

[thedutchgirl]

Such an earnest loser, though!
