This, that, and Glee...

shadowkatRealized 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. (Particularly a fan of music videos - the cheesier the better.) I found how they depicted the conflict between theisists and athesists rather interesting. It's a conflict that I'm uncomfortably aware of in my own life, because I believe in God, but am friends with or am involved with family members and fellow-church goers who do not. Had yet another conversation with an athesist on Sunday, who stated more or less the exact same sentiments that Kurt and Sue Silvestrie stated in last night's episode of Glee. See, people think differently, but we assume that everyone thinks the same way we do. What I liked about the episode - was the point was not that you should believe in god or that you shouldn't, but that you should have the right to believe in whatever worked for you and to have compassion for those who think differently and view things differently than you do, even when it sticks in your craw to do so. Also it featured some of my favorite spiritual songs - the Joan Osborn number - "What if God Was One of Us?" (Which Joan of Arcadia depicted a bit too literally.), "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Losing My Religion", "I want to hold your hand", and "Papa Can You Hear Me". I get that this little show ain't everyone's cup of tea, no one in my everyday offline life can bear to watch it. So I only talk about it here, if at all.
Also enjoyed No Ordinary Family. It's a nice super-hero family dramedy. Although I wish they had not killed off the female cop.
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.

Apparently the days of missing a tv show and never seeing it, are over. ;-)
(Well unless it is on PBS)
