Oooooh (that's what a ghost says)

I'm back on nights after a few weeks on the glorious and coveted day shifts. Since my roommates are gone by the time I wake up and are in bed when I get home, it feels like I'm living with a ghost. I don't see anyone, other than the pets, but things are moved around slightly when I get home from where I left them. Sometimes it's kinda fun, getting some alone time, but it's also depressing. By the time I get to work I'm in need of some human interaction and can't stop babbling all the random thoughts that I've had during my silent day.

I'm using my use of the apartment to re-watch Battlestar Galactica. I stopped watching it at the beginning of season three when it was airing because I didn't have cable, and just figured I'd watch it when it was all out on dvd. But then never got around to it. I'm a little bit spoiled for who some of the cylons are, but oh well. I'm really enjoying it, remembering the good times I had the first time around. I'm about half way through season one.

That's about all I do. I should be working on my halloween costume, and cloaks for Laura and Phaedra, but something about knowing I have to go to work in a few hours keeps me from being productive in any way. Hopefully I'll be back on days next week.

Completely unrelated to the above, I can't stop listening to the songs from Glee. I'm obsessed with the show (nothing surprising there). I have a few issues with it, but the singing makes up for it every time. And I rewatch the episodes the next day. I usually have to wait a few months before I'll re-watch something, but with Glee, I could watch each episode over and over.

My issues with it: I think there are too many characters. I don't know who I'd cut, because I love (almost) all of them. I feel like they try to cover too much, and some characters get left out. I want more about Artie, Tina, Mercedes and Kurt. Lots more Kurt. And Finn needs to sing less. He's the pretty boy, but Artie's a better singer. I find myself listening to the songs that have the little Artie gets to sing the most. The arrangements bother me too. Singing makes me happy, but the songs are terrible for a group. I've never been in a glee club, so I don't know how they are supposed to work, but I've sung in high school choirs, and it's very rare for one person to sing an entire song with the rest of the group doing backup. It's very boring to sing "do do do" for three minutes. I don't even think there was anything for the guys to sing in "Hate On Me" from the last episode. Maybe the dos at the beginning. That rival glee club didn't have solos.

I've been listening to It's My Life/Confessions on a loop. I don't even like either of those songs, but I can't stop playing it. I wish it were wednesday every day. And that I didn't have to work nights.
