Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Yeah, Glee is fluffy enough that you just don't know. But from the few I've seen, they seem to occasionally climb on hobbyhorses they've made from kindling and it all falls apart.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I can't do a meara, but I wanted to chime in--or, well, complain-- about the fact that my law degree has not resulted in an office for me.

OTOH, all the offices in my division (except the Captain's) have no windows. Only cubicles have windows, and I have a huge window looking west over the Bay, with a view of the Bay Bridge and SF and Mount Tam.

So I shouldn't complain too much.

In other news, I sauteed together onions and mushrooms and skinny asparagus and had it over pasta with parmesan and pepper, and it was good.

What's so special about Graeter's ice cream? Is it better than B&J?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I like to give the writers the benefit of the doubt and say they're writing for teenagers who are perpetually clueless. I think the Finn/Jesse pissing contest is no different than the Rachel/Preggers Girl pissing contest before the break.

Oh, and Sarameg: the writers DO NOT GET IT. On the race front, the ablism front, or the gender front.

Also, I find it hard to watch because I love the musical numbers and yet find most of the characters viscerally unlikeable. (Except for Kurt and his dad.) (Well, and Sue, but she's fun to not like. The rest are just unlikeable.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't mind the characters being unlikable, really -- hell, I watched Nip/Tuck (also Ryan Murphy) to the bitter end. And I was bitter.

I get that; but with television, I need somebody I like. Or I need to like more people than I dislike, anyway.

I like the singing, I just wish they'd avoid the messaging. Stupidass teens I can cope with. Flimsy afterschool special fail, nsm. But hell, I don't watch it often. Had no idea divorce was happening. I guess I just prefer fluff don't make me seriously annoyed. Fluff shouldn't make me think.

I think you should whitefont that there in the middle, sara.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

all the offices in my division (except the Captain's) have no windows

Yeah, that's how my floor is laid out. Offices ring the centre core, cubicles are around the edge. Shame we lost our ocean view when we moved, though. Now we're just overlooking random office buildings. Sadness. I think three sides of the building have decent views, and we're on the other one.

Whitefonted sara's noun.

Not sure why Glee never grabbed me. I've watched a few musical numbers, but never been tempted to watch the show.

Ack, sorry. So spotty watching as to not know what season. Thanks, ita.
