Tv charms me...well sort of.
Finished watching the latest episode of The Good Wife guest starring Michael J. Fox. It's the episode they filmed in late September just a block away from where I work. That courthouse or rather the exterior shots of that courthouse is just one block down from the building where I work. But they cleverly put a shot of Chicago or another city skyline behind them. Clever. Because there are no tall buildings in downtown Jamaica, Queens, nor for that matter a Chase Bank.
Continue to be impressed with both the writing and the casting. This week we had Lilly Taylor of Indie film fame along with Michael J. Fox - kudos for excellent and effective stunt casting. Plus the political hijinks continue. This show reminds me of why I'm not a lawyer. Although it is a heck of a lot more interesting than actual law.
Tired and strung out. Mind scattered. And tired of feeling like I don't have control over certain things in my life. So as a result eating far more than I should and gaining weight. Ugh. Need to get disciplined. But not as easy as it looks. Nothing ever is.
Also drew some tonight. Not happy with it, but if I watercolor it - it might work. Drawing people sitting down is not as easy as it looks - yes there's that phrase again.
Glee last night made me smile. I rather adore the new character of Beast - the female football coach who is built like a linebacker. This show is playing with gender issues in a rather interesting manner - that I've not really seen on tv before. The satire is wicked in respect to the stock roles or stereotypical ones, and somewhat kinder towards those characters who are different. In other words - Quinn, Sam, Finn, and Puck get ripped to shreds quite a bit. But by the same token, it goes in the opposite direction of what one might respect. While I felt the musical numbers were somewhat tame this week, the character relationships and themes regarding gender reversals were quite inspired and innovative. Also, I admittedly have a fondness for the song "Living on a Prayer" by Billy Idol. At least I think it was Billy Idol. What I'd give to see Spike sing that song...in fully Idol get-up. LOL! (Sorry, off topic, I know.) In college one of my pals was in love with Billy Idol and Bon Jovi. It might be Bon Jovi- actually. Billy Idol does White Wedding.
Okay tired. Off to bed. Another tough day ahead.
