Glee is back from the future to stop the creation of Higg's-bosson particles in a way that gives everyone an equal chance.

Whoo! I'm feeling good this morning! Had a mid-week Veteran sponsored break, Glee's back, birds from the future are ensuring that the Higgs-boson particle is never found, it's a goo.... You thought the "birds from the future" thing was just one of my insane ramblings? Oh, foolish reader (not you,The Girlfriend, my other reader... who's probably stopped reading due to the unreliable nature of my blogging, and my propensity towards calling them foolish)... anyway, check this out:

Did you catch the part where they tried to justify the theory by saying that a lot of the currently accepted laws of physics seemed improbable at first? Now I'm no physicist (No, really, I'm not) but "A particle can have the properties or a wave or a point depending on how you observe it" gets this reaction from me: "Oh." Whereas "'Nature' or 'God' - we don't want to leave anyone out of our insane theory- is blocking the creation Higgs-boson particles from the future" gets this reaction from me: "Oh." Anywho, if "God" or "Nature" has the desire to send animals back to keep horrible things from happening, how do you explain Missy Elliot? (Dated? Yeah, probably... I really don't like her though).

Well Glee is back -take that World Series!... is it cliche to hate the Yankees at this point? I think it is, but I still do. Anyway, Glee's back, and they are going straight for it tonight... whatever "it" is.

I don't think I blogged on the last one, but -to bring you up to speed- the gay kid came out to his dad, and -I'm assuming- everyone else... but everyone already knew, and his dad was cool about it. Also last week Sue kicked Quinn off the Cheerios for being with child.

So this episode was all about equality. glee club director (I can't remember his name, it's just not there) wants to move the club away from pop music to something the judges at "sectionals" will find more pleasing... namely, Broadway. So the song they're doing is from "Wicked" and of course it's the lead girl's song (man, I've got NO names in me this morning... makes for a rough blog... anyway, it's the dark haired one... I don't know.). But gay kid (still can't remember his name) also wants the lead part. So originally glee club director's all "no way" but then gay kid's dad gets all up in the school's hizzy because it's discriminating against his son. As a result, Glee club has to hold auditions for the lead part, and the Cheerios have to hold auditions for a replacement for Quinn.

Enter high school girl with Down's syndrome and 30 minute period of the show in which Mike holds his breath... I can make fun of anyone. I draw the line at Down's syndrome, or really any sort of real developmental disability. It's mean, it's low hanging fruit (and I mean that in -honestly- the least offensive way possible), and it's mean. I lost a lot of love for American Idol the year that they made fun of the fat obviously mildly retarded kid... not OK (and yes, I realize how using the term "retarded" betrays my point... I'm not perfect, take me down from the pedestal).So I'm holding my breath, DS girl plus Cheerios tryouts plus Sue equals trouble for a show I'm really starting to like. Then to make matters worse, the DS girl gets the spot on the Cheerios. Glee club director -who's watching the tryouts to ensure that Sue is fair- voices my concerns; "What are you planning Sue?".

In the mean-time, gay kid's dad gets harassing phone calls and gay kid throws the audition to save his dad from more harassing phone calls. Also, Quinn is all over Finn to get a job to make money for the baby, meanwhile mohawk guy (the baby's real father) keeps trying to give Quinn money and getting denied, which is legitimately breaking my heart for everyone but Quinn. There's also some stuff about a bake sale to try to earn money to get a bus for sectionals that the wheelchair kid can ride on... here's the thing: it's not a realistic plot line, and it's not a hugely entertaining part of the show, so I'm going to ignore it for the rest of the blog.

Back to Sue and the DS girl; We've dropped the anchor of dangerously mean comedy into the murky waters of Sue. It turns out those waters are much deeper than originally thought. This episode ends with Sue reading "Little Red Ridding Hood" to an older woman who also appears to have Downs Syndrome. I came away with the idea that it's Sue's sister, but I can't say for sure if the show said that, or if I just assumed.

Anyway, tonight's episode was a little messy, a little erratic, but it appears that Glee has thrown down the gauntlet. This is a ridiculous show, I won't argue that. There's still a good 10-15 minutes of uncomfortable musical numbers per show. This weeks episode brought another side to that; I think I might actually care what happens to these characters.... but not so much Missy Elliot.

What?

I know I'm all clips and half-assed comments today, but -seriously- what?!




Also, apparently Tyler Perry owns an island.

Apparently Growing Pains had nothing to do with Evolution

Ok, so I don't post much anymore... I think I predicted this in my first entry... and I think I discussed it in my last entry, but it's been a while, so I can't be sure. Anyway, I'm blaming the whole thing on a television lull. Honestly, I can admit that it's my own damned fault. There's a lot of good TV on Thursday nights, and I can't bring myself to write a blog on my day off... you see how this is my own damned fault.

And speaking of my damnation... Here's Kirk Cameron:



Did you stick with it? I certainly hope so, because Kirk is trying to save your soul, Ok? Did you catch Kirk's insistence that all they want to do is present the "opposing and correct view"... clearly this is all presented in a very objective manner.

Kirk- "This is a life of death issue"
Me- Really?

Ok, I know this is low hanging fruit... but in this day an age of rampant atheism and agnosticism at our highest levels of education, I feel like I've got to take any chance I can get to crank out an easy blog.

Really? Is this news?

All right, of course I always promise I'm going to blog more so; I'm totally going to blog more from now on.

To the point. As far as I understand H1N1 or the "Swine Flu" is everywhere, right? Some huge percentage of flu victims have H1N1 as apposed to the regular flu. It's a common thing.
That being said, couldn't they have found a higher caliber celebrity for this "Another Celebrity has Swine Flu" piece... Are Boyz II Men even celebrities anymore? Isn't that like calling "City Slickers II: The Legend Of Curly's Gold" the "Surprise Hit of the Summer"? Though I do love that Billy Crystal.
