This, that, and Glee...

Realized today that the reason I was falling asleep at work was because the air was stale and too warm, when it hissed to life and got cooler, I woke up. Before then, was coaxing self awake with decafe green tea. I can't do caffeine.

Finished editing church newsletter - am debating going to a march on October 23 in Staten Island to protest the hate crimes that have been occurring down there against immigrants. There's been quite a few of late - specifically against Mexican immigrants. But I don't like protest marches, I don't believe they do anything particularly, except well annoy folks. Writing campaigns, dinners,
and other things seem to be more effective. But am admittedly on the fence....

Rather enjoyed Glee this week. But I also adore a good satire And am a sucker for musicals. Plus Glee is the most realistic depiction of the high school experience and midwestern suburbia that I've seen. It's at times a "mean" and "spot-on" satire of middle American suburbian life and the "high school" experience. ( spoilers )

Also enjoyed No Ordinary Family. It's a nice super-hero family dramedy. ( spoiler )

Off to watch Caprica and something else. Possibly the Good Wife. Haven't decided yet.
Momster's coaxing me into trying Wallender II - she does not understand that I have too many tv shows as it is.

Caprica - Unvanquished or hunting a short-cut to nivarana by way of killing 300 people

Just finished watching Caprica S1.10 premiere. (Still no word out on a S2). My first thought upon watching it was - what's with all the premillenial dispensation or let's bring about the end of the world so we can achieve nirvana or heaven plot-lines? Will give Caprica credit - it's STO group makes a heck of a lot more sense than Angel and that whole Twilight plot arc in the Buffy comics. Also, Caprica much like BSG - has the added bonus of a bunch of screwed up complex characters. There are no clear good guys or bad guys in this show. Good and evil is sort of muddled. It's a dystopian world.

Other thoughts? May I just say that I adore Eric Stolz? He's very good in this role, of tortured genius, brings to mind images of Kenneth Branagh's take on Dr. Frankenstein. Marsters...is looking old and weathered. And Esai Morales lacks some of the strength that imbued Edward James Olmos performance as Bill Adama. But that may be intentional?
