Forward Motion:
None. I bow my head in shame.
Music:
Glee, which I kind of wanted to like, 'cause hey, I enjoy spontaneous song and dance as much as the next person. But Jesus ugh. The plots plod. The songs grate. The dance sequences would be fine, except they go on about twice as long as they should, and seem calculated to give you a pee break, or a chance to call old friends and catch up and maybe bake a cake and work on your watercolor landscape series. I don't even know where to start on the characters, but of course The Straight White Kids take center stage despite their being boring beyond belief, the women all pine after one of the two male leads, and the Not Straight White Kids are exactly as stock, cardboard, and marginal as you'd expect. There's a bright tone to the thing that's sort of appealing, and I laughed at one or two jokes, but "the best show on TV" this shit surely ain't.
Reading:
Nope.
Otherwise:
Finally, after meeting with our doctor specifically to figure out how to deal with our health insurer, we managed to get more or less what we needed. I would have pumped my fist and hopped around, but the victory came after six straight hours of crap (which necessitated both Liese and I taking the day off of our jobs), and this on the sixth or seventh day of navigating the damned health care labyrinth, so we took a long nap instead.
