I just watched three episodes of Glee back to back (Wheels, Ballad, Hairography). Loved the co-performance of ‘Imagine’ — it’s nice to see everyone take a moment to step back from their cracked up lives. You know what I want to see? Puck and Sue Sylvester teaming up for any reason. Preferably in one of […]
I’ve heard, but never gone to the trouble of verifying, that most people think they’re better drivers than they actually are. Or maybe it’s that people think they’re better drivers than everyone else. This has always been worrying to me, since I think I’m a terrible driver. Anyway, the takeaway message seems to be that […]
So I’ve been listening to Asunder, by rageprufrock (read by 2naonh3_cl2) on my ipod while I’m driving to and from work for the last couple days. I complained to my family that driving is *soooooo* boring (even though I really have nothing to complain about; it’s not that far), and *Andrea suggested podbooks. Asunder is […]
“You want me to help you rob a bank?” -Madeline “What did you do?” -Sam (clearly not realizing Fi and Michael were fighting, and appearing somewhat alarmed to find out he’s agreed to work a job with Fi while she’s pissed off) “Could have been worse.

Not without at least narrowing it down to a specific […]
(*how classic conversational gambits may end up earning you bad service) 1. The Ultimate Classic: “What beautiful weather we’re having!” Saying this to a friend: thumbs up. Saying this to your cashier at a store: think twice. Yes, it’s a beautiful day, *outside,* while we’re stuck *inside,* you know — working, here at the store, […]
On Glee: YAY: I finally got to see the episode where Puck sings ‘Sweet Caroline’! Still my favorite Glee song. WTF: So when Mr. Schuester was trying to get a guy to sing ‘Bust a Move’ at rehearsal, this was his progression: first choice, Finn; second choice, Puck; third choice, ‘I guess there’s no one […]
1. I liked this week’s episode better than last week’s. 2. It was unfortunate that their bickering led them to delay long enough for someone else to die. It’s happened before, but it’s one of my least favorite ‘realism’ elements. 3. Shawn’s dad. I thought it would be cooler having him at the station. So […]
