*Yawns* Damn, I could use a nap.

For a little bit of random: I love FNL because it is just generally fantastic, but they really win me over because their actors speak with authentic Texan accents. For some reason (perhaps because we identify ourselves as Southern for the most part?), actors think it’s a traditional southern drawl but it isn’t. There’s Southern Drawl and then there’s Texan Drawl. In fact, it's less accent and more rhythm. Basically, all you really have to do is slow it down and speak as if you couldn’t possibly expend any more energy.
I think it helps that the show is filmed in Austin since most of the cast (from what I can find on imdb.com, only Jesse Plemons and Nieko Mann are from Texas) isn't from these parts.
