ME: (drowsy) Hey.
YOU: (unattentive) Hey.
ME: Good weekend?
YOU: ok...pretty quiet. You?
ME: Pretty good. Nice weather, though...right?
YOU: yeh...really nice.
(long pause)
ME: Who brought the muffins?
YOU: Nancy.
ME: That's cool.
(pause)
ME: Who's Nancy, again?
YOU: She's...(upbeat)
Hey, you watch the Sopranos and Entourage last night?
ME: (suddenly attentive)) Yeh, you?
YOU: Yup...whatcha think?
(Warning...spoilers)
ME: This last season crap is starting to piss me off. Every character has to get a swan song episode, and it's really getting in the way. Last week was Junior...this week it's Hesh. I mean, who gives a crap that Junior was running an illegal card game, or Tony owed Hesh money. I know it looks like they're setting up for a showdown between Tony and Phil, but if they don't, the whole season's gonna be a waste.
YOU: What about the kid in the shower.
ME: That was just weird. I bet he applies to Virginia Tech when he grows up. (pause) What...too soon?
YOU: What about Entourage?
ME: I love Entourage. Ari being jealous of the now-obscenely large and balding Artie Lange was hysterical. And Carla Gugino is ridiculously hot. I've thought that since Sin City. But E's not gonna stand for her and Vince getting in the way of business. I give her two more episodes.
YOU: What about Drama and the ultimate fighter guy at the end? Would you kneel, or fight?
ME: Fuck that, I'd definitely fi...oooh, banana walnut.
(What did you guys think?)

I used to work at Stamps.com, which made last night's Entourage highly enjoyable. After the flurry of text messages and emails, I learned that most of the people I know watch the show. I trust that more than any Neilsen ratings.
