I would get these terrible stress headaches in college, and I would scream at my roommates to be quite. They were idiots. And loud. They were loud idiots. You know, I should call them. To find out what’s become of them—how they’re doing, you know? Cause, you need to keep in touch and find out what’s become of the people who were once in your life, that way you can measure your life against their life and see who WON. And I am WAY ahead!

In which a background kid bears a striking resemblance to Ryan Estrada.  Could he know people who worked for Soup2Nuts?

I decided it was time for another Home Movies marathon.  I do this a couple times a year anyway, since it’s one of my favorite shows ever, but I first saw the final season about five years ago exactly, during the fall quarter before I started dating Chris.  So I like to do this around this time of year anyway, just as a personal tradition.

The evolution of the show from season to season is very interesting, and I think it echoes the evolution of many webcomics.  I adore the commentaries that the creators of this show recorded for the DVDs, too, and they’re so entertaining that they’ve really spoiled me when it comes to commentaries for other shows I own on DVD.  (Dollhouse, I’m lookin’ at you.  Only 5 commentaries out of 27 episodes.)

And suddenly I’ve remembered that Loren Bouchard is now running a new show on Fox, Bob’s Burgers.  We caught an episode of it a few months ago by accident, and I meant to check it out on Hulu, but never did!  I must make myself a reminder to watch that at some point.
