shadowkatDoing the quote look-up thing again for list-serve and I rather adored this one by Martha Graham (who is a modern dance choreography):
Nobody cares if you can't dance well.
-Martha Graham
Sigh, if only it were true. But I guess it is in a way. At work they told me that Kirstie Alley whose partner couldn't lift her is still in Dancing With the Stars.
Half-watching Glee, which is spending more time on narrative and less on production numbers. Glee? I watch you for the production numbers. You know that right?? The character arcs seem sort of over-the-top from my perspective, with the exception of maybe Kurt. And even Kurt's arc hasn't lately made a lot of sense. Although this one is admittedly better than the last two episodes, but Holly hasn't sung yet, so that may be why.
Okay, what in the heck is Tina singing?

Maggie does some excellent posts on the show and the comics.
Others you might want to look at in regards to Buffy are stormwreath, local_max, angeria, and beergoodfoamy (for humor - his favorite characters were Willow, Spike, and Faith). Also aycheb. All wrote reviews, meta, etc on the series that might interest you. Stormwreath is a lot like Maggie in his in depth analysis. And very into the mythology.
