Lorne ,'Why We Fight'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The author of the books (whose name I can't recall) has endorsed Romney. So apparently there's a FNL showdown.
Buzz Bissinger, yeah. But it was Berg who coined "Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose." And who invented most of the characters on the show, including the women (the original movie only had one female character with a speaking part, who was played by Connie Britton).
Speaking of Connie Britton. Thoughts on Nashville? Haven't watched it yet. Should I?
Nashville was my favorite pilot of the entire fall season, by a wide margin.
Buzz is his cousin...my cousins are all Repubs too.(They post on Facebook how much they love base housing and ironing.) Even if I got cured tomorrow, I'd never post that.

Who loves ironing? And base housing is legendarily awful. Sheesh.

I thought it was just ok. The singing was not great, except for the minor character at the end whose name I can't remember.
I just got called not Indian enough. Apparently the "West" downgrades me to the point where the offshore testers won't reply to my emails.
Lack of a West doesn't exempt them from deadlines, so I don't know what their business is.
Ugh.
Back home. We were headed in to teach late because there was another event going on in the morning. Got about forty-five minutes down the road and got waylaid by cramps. Turned around and came home. Now ensconced in bed with heating pad and ginger ale, but seriously, Do Not Want. Why are my periods getting so much more severe as I age?
Anyway, it's probably just as well.
I thought Nashville was just OK, too, at least partly because there were multiple white guys I couldn't tell apart. I imagine that will get better.
Remember the Anime Girl I linked to a while ago?
Ukraine’s Anime Girl and Real Barbie Meet Face-to-Barely-Human-Face - Neatorama
First we have newcomer, 19 year-old Anastasiya Shpagina, who’s industrial strength make-up job transforms her into three dimensional warm blooded anime girl. In the other corner we have 21 year-old Valeria Lukyanova, who surprised the world with her appearance of a “Real Barbie Doll” which is rumored to be the result of extensive plastic surgery.
Warning: freaky.
