Also this past week and weekend:

1. The State DVDs (and limited edition t-shirt) came in the mail. I’ve only watched season 1 and part of season 2, but holy shit funny. I wasn’t sure if it would hold up after all these years, but it really does. Some of the sketches are dated, but most of them are still as spectacular as I remember. And the commentary is wonderful. Oh, and I was instantly reminded of why I have a crush on Michael Ian Black. (But I never noticed before that he kinda had Hitler Hair. Oh, well.
2. AND!!! The State DVD opens with a Daria commercial, announcing that the DVDs will be out in 2010. DARIA! NEXT YEAR!! ON DVD!!! sweet.
3. Alison was in town for the weekend! We met up at Park Street and headed out to Coolidge Corner to meet up with a couple other GSLIS folks at Qdoba. One GIANT burrito (and a stop at J.P. Licks) later, she headed out to the airport for to fly back to Baltimore. A brief visit, but it was so nice to catch up a little bit. I’ll be heading down to B-more in a few weeks, and there will be much more fun to be had.
