shadowkatWaves to lurkers during lurker amnesty day. I have no problems with lurkers - since I rarely lock, I'm guessing about 50-60% of my readership are lurkers. Heck only 15% of the people I've friended ever appear to post. They post a lot, however. I also lurk - rarely responding to a lot of posts myself.
There's a rather good review by roz_k on Glee in the Guardian I believe or you can go read it here: http://rozk.livejournal.com/300779.html?style=mine#cutid1
Agree more or less with every word of the review above, especially the bit on Nip/Tuck - which I finally divorced. The characters became unwatchable along with the series. Apparently Ryan Murphy works better if he's combining his misanthropy with light Disney style High School Musical parody. It sort of lightens the blows. I enjoy Glee. I don't love Glee - for many of the reasons outlined in Roz's review. The characters still feel more like caricatures to me than real people.
Having a rather bad month. It's painful to walk. Again. The six blocks to work and six blocks back (not including train rides and steps) felt like forty. I don't know how I'm going to be able to do this. May have to invest in a car service. And I'm dreading tomorrow - when I have to walk the equivalent of six blocks from the train station to the podiatrist's office. And ten blocks home, plus groceries. God - it's times like these that I miss the suburbs and driving. City living is swell - as long as you aren't injured. Granted still have to walk to and from car. Just not as far. Didn't watch the Superbowl last night, because rather hate professional football (prefer college) but caught the score and was rather pleased the New Orleans Saints won. I hate Indiana and the Colts. Also, the Saints deserved a win. They hadn't won anything in a long time.
Avoiding politics. Politics gives me a headache. Stupid Palinmonster will not go away. She's threatening to run for president in 2012. Honestly, are people truly stupid enough to vote for this specific woman to become President of the US, who resigned as the Governor Alaska because she was in personal debt and got sick of doing the job?? If she can't govern Alaska, what makes anyone think she could be President of the US? Currently she's doing the tea party thing. [ETA: went back to clarify. I do want a woman President of the US. I'd have been happy with Hilary Clinton. If Palin was a man, I'd feel exactly the same way about her/him. Gender is not an issue here. Not that anyone thought it was...but just in case. ;-) Also nothing against Alaska. I wouldn't want Governor Patterson or Rudy Giulania or Bloomberg to be President either.]
Okay off to bed.

Date: 2010-02-10 04:15 pm (UTC)Podiatrist thinks it is a stress fracture. So I need to find a way and time to hobble off to get an x-ray between now and Tuesday.
So they can order me a boot to keep the thing immobilized for six weeks until it heals.
Sigh. I'm going on record and stating I hate Feb.;-)
Hope you got out okay. Sounds like you have some good mates up in Iowa.
