Wow, get this: Since the breakup, I've been de-listed by two people as a favorite. If FadeIn were an actual television show, the network executives would be retooling my ass right now.

"Bill, Thad here at NBC. Listen, FadeIn's showing some declining numbers in our 18-24 females. Old Navy is threatening to pull sponsorship. You need to write in a hot younger brother or bring back the romance. Have you thought about Jessica Biel? I know another Yaley at the WB. I'm thinking three episode arc, maybe? Remember, Morton's thursday. Call me, babe."

Insightful self parody or bleak prophetic vision? Perhaps a bit of both. Either way, I'll be wealthy. My kids better appreciate that I traded my soul for a swimming pool. Bastards.
