A Surprisingly Lovely Lemon

Who's got two thumbs, speaks limited french, and hasn't cried once today?
This moi.

This moi is Liz Lemon, the heroine of my new favorite TV show, 30 Rock. It's like Arrested Development, only I don't think it will be cancelled. For awhile. It's got star power and TV Guide acclaim.

Liz Lemon is not neurotic. She's not dark and twisty. She's not beautiful and she's not dumb, but she's still cool. She's pretty much like me, only older. She likes to eat cheese-flavored foods, she thinks she can speak German, but she really only speaks limited french, and yeah, she has two thumbs. Like me.

Liz works with a variety of characters like her boss, Alec Baldwin, and the stars of the TV show she produces -- Tracy Morgan and Jenna something-or-other.

Then there is Kenneth, the Page. Although he epitomizes the word naive, he usually finds a way to confound the world so keen on pegging him a grinning simpleton. For instance, when the team needed to beat the Teamsters in a drinking contest in order to replace Liz's sandwich, and things were looking their most dire, Kenneth was there.

Alcohol? That smells like hill people milk. I grew up on that stuff. It's on.
