One of my favorite Liz Lemon quotes that I always forget about until I hear it again and laugh all over, this is also surprisingly super-accurate re: my life right now.

The more time I spend thinking about the process in the writers’ room during the creation of this line—specifically, the decision to make the diaper’s place of origin the beach—the funnier it becomes to me.
Of COURSE a beach diaper would be the grossest. A gritty, sand-infiltrated diaper of warm, rancid-smelling baby poop sitting in the hot sun in a public place full of sweaty, nearly-naked people flocking to a giant seagull litterbox for a day of rest and relaxation amongst hundreds of other strangers with their screaming vacation children… that is THE. WORST.
And Lemon put it in her mouth.
In a way, Liz Lemon is a 1970s feminist that is trying to be Leslie Knope - a 21st century feminist - and failing miserably. And frankly, that’s part of 30 Rock’s comedy - it makes commentary on society’s treatment of race, gender, class, and sexuality through its absurdist storylines. More often than not, 30 Rock aims to point out that it’s all problematic, and pokes holes in almost every point of view, especially when dealing with the stereotypes that often creep up - because they do. It’s the reality of the world we live in. It’s our context.
I was going to quote all the great quote-worthy parts of this article, but there are too many. Just set aside ten minutes and read it.

I am a star.
I am on top.
And someone should bring me some ham.

Liz Lemon really helps a gal keep things in perspective.
I was going to write a post about how I want a tv show that’s not about the weak, helpless, bad decision-making, pretty-with-a-charming-non-threatening-weakness girl but rather her wise-cracking, semi-rational, intelligent firecracker of a best friend who also makes mistakes but doesn’t need a man to save her.
But then I remembered that’s already a thing. They call it… “30 Rock.”
No wonder I like it so much.
can’t stop watching this cheesy blasters clip
I haven’t seen an episode since the last season ended and I’m suddenly feeling the yawning void 30 Rock used to fill. It’s like I had a phantom limb named Liz Lemon but it got phantom cut off so now it’s for reals gone. I must get it sewn back on asap. Can you reattach spirit animals?
