Instead of doing homework like I had intended, I got home from the YMCA this morning and watched tv on the internet. I caught up on Glee, and I am quickly falling in love. Each episode has a rendition of a song that I just end up smiling about - like the kid doing Beyonce’s Single Ladies in his basement. This last episode had a fantastic finale number of “Somebody to Love” that I was so enthusiastic about I went to iTunes to buy the song. [which is of course what Fox wants me to do. I read somewhere while Fox of course wants people to watch the show, that it does not need to pull colossal numbers because it can make money through all the spin off marketing, i.e., people like me who bought a song off itunes for $1.29.]
While on itunes I also saw the cast’s version of “Don’t Stop Believin’” - from the very first episode - which I was also close to buying, but stopped by reminding myself that eventually there will be a soundtrack to the show, the library will get it, and I will check it out. Still, I cannot for the life of me get it out of my head. And I fear that I will burst into song here at the library any moment. Ok, not really. Still, it will not leave my mind.
I also caught up Project Runway- and if you are not caught up, do not read ahead. Since some of the girls and I don't have the regular Wednesday night Project Runway + Rockband nights, there is no one to discuss the hot messes that come out on the runway. So I am going to discuss them here. I have to say, ever since the team project when they made Epperson out to be a bit of a bossy-know-it all, I was not a fan. And while the judges loved the brown dress he
did, I thought she looked like a prostitute. However, that being said, the Western piece he did in the last episode was truly inspired. Loved the way it moved, loved the way it looked, loved it. On the other hand, I really like the snarky Nicolas, but can’t believe the judges picked his ice queen as winner. Was it good? Yes. Was it winner good? Ehhh. Not really. I thought Christopher’s was much more unique, interesting, and beautiful. Or even Epperson’s, like I said, they both were so great. Nicolas, while I do like him, it was so so. And I can’t believe Ramon is gone. Talent taken
out by Kermit gone bad. Oh well.
What I really need to do is be reading more of Niall Ferguson’s Ascent of Money - I’m struggling a little bit with understanding the section on bonds, but overall I do like the book. I just rather watch tv musicals or a hot mess on the runway. Or, Top Chef, which I also can not wait to catch up on.

Sooo, your plan is to wait for the CD to come out. Then wait for the library to get it. Then check it out and burn yourself a copy? Forgive me for asking what may seem like an impertinent question but, why not just steal it off of the internet via Limewire or some other service right now?
a totally reasonable question, and the answer is this: 1.) that would require me to understand/use limewire or its equivalent and 2.) somehow, stealing music through the library doesn't make me feel as bad as stealing it off the internet.
