"If you're going to make something beautiful, you have to make a mess of it first. I don't care if you're making a baby, an omelet, or a television show -- things are going to get weird."

I'm going to do my best to watch "Office" and "Scrubs" (and maybe "Earl") tonight or tomorrow, so please refrain from commenting on them until I have separate posts up for them. It may be a day or two late, but it'll get done.
