Angela, thanks for your kind remarks. I have to remind myself day after day that things will get better. They have to. As for the "hatred" remarks, well, I was being a bit melodramatic. But there is a lack of understanding and concern among some pundits and bloggers on the right. I'm more on...

Thank you so much, Angela. There is so much hatred out there for the poor, the struggling, the unemployed, the underemployed and just regular working folks. I'm going through a rough time right now. I can't even get a temp job, not to mention long-term employment. It's very frustrating and it...

I agree. I chose not to have children, and when I used to post at childfree by choice so many other posters used to say they couldn't wait to get older so they could move to retirement communities that bar younger people. Ugh. Not me. I like being around people of all ages. I live near a large...

I "accidentally" watched this last night. Keltie, the Rockette, and fang girl, Madison are going to work my last nerve. And Michelle, the fake-titted hair dresser from Utah, is getting the "bitch" edit. Yep, this is going to be good.

My neighborhood, Milwaukee's east side, got an 89. I'm within walking distance of nice shops, grocery stores, restaurants, coffee joints and bars. Lake Michigan is just two blocks from my apartment. And weather permitting, I can walk to down town. I also have access to several busses. Not too bad.

I'm a bit miffed by Community getting snubbed. I tried watching it last season and couldn't quite get into it; but then I decided to give it another chance and I really like it. The cast has great chemistry. But the Tourist and Burlesque? WTF? Tourist is getting shit reviews. And Burlesque...

She was such a class act. And cancer is a fucking bitch.

I read this book several years ago and I highly recommend it. Yes, Ms. Ehrenreich can be snarky, hence her Jesus line (a very small part of the book). But I give her credit for shedding a light on the working poor. Not everyone who makes very little money is uneducated or lazy. I'm college...

Last night's episode of Glee "stink, stank, stunk." Okay, maybe my assessment is a bit harsh, but I was underwhelmed and I kept looking at my clock during Glee's airing. I love "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"(the late Dr. Seuss and I share a birthday), but I wish the writers would have tried...

Last season's episode devoted to Sectionals left me floating on air. This season's was just wasn't quite there, and left me feeling a bit empty inside. However, I am grateful for the lack of guest stars and a non-tribute/themed episode. Here is my glist. Special Education by GLG 1) Yay! My...

I have to admit I was really looking forward to this episode because Carol Burnett is a comedic legend, but I really didn’t care for this episode at all. I don’t know if it was the writing or Ms. Burnett’s delivery, but the Doris and Sue Sylvester scenes felt tacked on and didn’t quite work. And...

I'm with you. I can't imagine going to a place like Target, Best Buy or the local mall on Black Friday. I used to work in retail, and I'd probably have a nervous breakdown from the PTSD. However, I will do my grocery shopping that day. The grocery stores are usually pretty quiet the day after...

Thanks for you comments. I've never done any screenwriting, but I could definitely consult the writers on how to write more fleshed-out female characters. For the past few eps, I've been thinking about Quinn. This is a girl who in the past year got pregnant, lost her status as a Cheerio, had her...

Though I'm looking forward to seeing Carol Burnett as Sue's mom on Glee, I am getting a bit sick of the clusterfuck of guest stars. Glee has a talented cast, and I wish the writers would focus more on developing the characters and their stories rather than bringing in the guest star du jour...
