   My TiVo, usually reliable at only recording new 12:37 A.M. Conan   
   episodes (let's not discuss the 3:04 A.M. Conan episodes) let me down   
   and recorded Monday night's rerun.  I should have known, because I was   
   thinking last week, "Hmm, aren't they usually in reruns during World   
   Series week?"

   You mean if I didn't watch it on a regular basis, or if I said I wasn't   
   going to watch it this week?  Keeping in mind that I watch Conan after I   
   get home from work, in the early evening the next day, this week that   
   time is going to be taken up with the World Series on Tuesday,   
   Wednesday, and Thursday (and maybe Saturday).  Friday, perhaps I'll be   
   able to make a little more of a dent in watching the "Muppet Show,"   
   "Sledge Hammer!", and Looney Tunes DVDs I got for my birthday a month   
   ago.   
      
   I'm not sure what I'd do if I weren't watching Conan at all.  Somehow I   
   never manage to go to bed any earlier during Conan rerun weeks, but I'm   
   never sure what's taking up all that extra time.

   No.

   Major portions of the Sunday night Adult Swim lineup.

   "Monkeybone," although the main reason I like it is because it features   
   Rose McGowan as a catgirl.

   Looks like you've been in Singapore too long, because you slipped in the   
   non-U.S. spelling of "stories" (of a building).   
      
   As is the case with many silent movies, I suspect Harold Lloyd is on the   
   clock to impress a girl.  (My father is a big silent movie buff, and he   
   strongly prefers Buster Keaton to both Lloyd and Chaplin -- thus, I've   
   seen a lot of Keaton's films over the years, but not much by the other   
   two.)

   Hmm...do references to the episodes of "The Simpsons" he wrote count?

   I liked the show from the beginning; pretty soon after the show started,   
   I saw this group come through as newly added to Northwestern   
   University's news server, so I subscribed.

   Didn't we just have Durga Puja?  Life is going too fast.
