Portlandia

[mackro]

Banff/Jasper is more for twenty-year old Quebecers. Nelson is the mountain "utopia" that people in lower BC always threaten to move to when they're fed up with Vancouver/Victoria (Nelson is kinda like Missoula, with a lot more patchouli and pot).

But seriously: these days, Portland is treated like Xanadu.

But wouldn't Canadian Xanadu have these?

I dunno, I think All Dressed are kinda like the shake weed of potato chips.

I laughed.

Edit: Ok now I see it on IFC.com. Should've looked before I asked.

[yesno]

IFC put the premier episode on Youtube.

[DJ Clem]

IFC: a great place to watch TV shows you already own on DVD.

I watched this on my lunch hour today and liked it quite a bit.

Powell's employees are way worse than the Strand employees, hands down.

Really?  I don't think you can get much worse than the Strand employees.  At Powells, on the other hand, I don't remember seeing or interacting with any employees at all outside of the checkout.  This might have been annoying if I was looking for a specific book instead of browsing, but I'll still take total absence over the surly, stinky Strand employees anyway (NB: I am generalizing; I've had positive Strand experiences and have friends who have worked there.  But both are in the minority).

I thought it was really great. I've always like Armisen. I liked the part when he was stammering at the table. It reminded me of that weekend update headlines character he used to do.

Have you ever had a Strand employee make judge-y comments about the shit you're buying as they ring you up? Happened to me and/or my boyfriend-at-the-time on at least a couple occasions. The only thing I could really accuse the Strand employees of is being sort of generally indifferent to the GP and having a big boring hardon for Murakami.

[yesno]

What is the GP?

[Christina]

General Public.

[Kim Kelly]

Ugh, snotty Strand employees.
