Happy New Year!
We're back and we've got some guest stars this week that we want you to respond with if you recognize.

Episode 8 is called R U There and we're giving you something completely different than what you've seen before.

Have you ever had a heavy conversation online? Confessed your love? Confronted an ex? There's something vaguely heartbreaking about it. Without a voice or an expression, is your point being made? Are you being lied to?

In this Inst Msg submitted to us by "LILYSTAR" two long distance ex lovers try and mitigate the darkness of the net.

Wow! This show just continues to surprise me. The amount of depth you folks are able to get out of a single IM conversation is amazing.

Wow. I have found pretty much all of the episodes to be amusing and pretty funny but this episode was incredible. This is one of the better things I have personally ever seen on the internet. Big congrats on this one.

Thanks.

Thanks everyone for your comments. It's certainly a different piece than what we've done before, glad a lot of you "got" what we were trying to do.

Definitely check out the original IM correspondence; makes you appreciate the source material more: www.inst-msgs.com

Strange one

Great production, execution, and awesome acting.

But I'll be honest in that at the end of it all I was like "huh?".

I guess I'm the dummy for not really getting it.

It may have been because I wasn't actually paying attention to anything besides the beautiful actress. Let me tell you....the scene where shes at the counter......her legs......all bets were off for me paying attention to anything else after that.

I am a mere mortal after all.

By all means.....make an entire episode with just her.....she doesn't even have to say or do anything. Just sit there and be hot you sexy cupcake!

I suppose "cupcake" is probably a sexist remark.......so whats that....like two Our Fathers and a Hail Mary for forgiveness? Done and done!

I have no idea. Guess I'm not really thinking about it.
