Shit's all sorts of different now.

I was begging the television to make them do the entire song, Barb. BEGGING.

Poor Joe. I think he felt left out.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

I like Community. I wasn't expecting too, because comedies are harder for me to engage in than dramas, but it was fun. I really loved the scene where they're enacting their "conversation" piece. I watched via Hulu.

Matt, I think I'll sit in your corner, although I haven't purchased the song. I missed the beginning of the episode, so I need to go watch that.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I can't say I'm too impressed with The Office so far this season. But maybe they're just taking a couple of episodes to set up the season's dynamic. Like Jim realizing that managing isn't as simple as it looks.

And I'm very much looking forward to next week. Pam and Jim's wedding has all sorts of potential for comic disaster.

I didn't know Dwight could reach new levels of downright evil. But he seems to be.

Finally got around to seeing this week's Glee. Oh, my, was that good!! As much as I loved "Somebody to Love," my heart went to KC's version of "Maybe This Time," which will be my go-to audition piece if I ever audition for a musical again (I used it in hs for the one musical I actually got cast in). She just nailed it and didn't suffer in comparison to Liza.

I hope that they include it and "Alone" on the cast album.

Always Anti-fascist!

I finally watched "Community" yesterday and liked it a lot. as much as I really love Dead Poet's, it's certainly ripe for parody.

Hey. New board.

Am I the only one that thought the crazy Cheno country song was the best number of Wednesday's Glee? Her "Maybe This Time" was a good performance but I didn't think it fit her voice too well. "Somebody to Love" was an undeniably awesome ensemble number and I am in full support of it, but watching Cheno dance around and belt country-pop made me want to buy 5 Cheno-does-country-pop CDs. It was a perfect number for her.

I'm trying very hard not to buy any of the Glee songs at $1.29 a pop and instead wait until they release full soundtracks at a discount. But it's hard! (You can get all of "Alone" on iTunes, Aims, if you want...)

I loved the episode and thought it was the best one yet. The show is feeling more and more like Popular as it goes on, which is a compliment. I thought Popular was amazing in its total ridiculousness.

“Not dead yet!”

November 3 for the CD release, Gris.

I've got a couple of the full downloads, but don't regret it in the slightest.

Ditto here. I actually tried to buy "Somebody to Love" again separately on my home laptop to help drive the download count up, but 20th century holdover technology foiled my devious plan.

Hey. New board.

I saw that "last name" wasn't going to be on the first cd, so I bought that. As well as the entire Carrie Underwood album the song came from. That should hold me over.

I can't say I'm too impressed with The Office so far this season. But maybe they're just taking a couple of episodes to set up the season's dynamic. Like Jim realizing that managing isn't as simple as it looks.

I wasn't a fan of the premiere, but last week's episode was hilarious, and I liked this week's as well. The new dynamic is interesting.
