Blog Quietness
I've been horribly silent recently -- I know that. As some of you know, I'm in the middle of a two month part time gig teaching ACT prep at a far-south side, underperforming CPS high school. It's been rewarding at times, frustrating at times, and always fascinating. However, given the recent rash of people getting canned for blogging on work matters, and given my current underemployed state, I'm not going to be talking about it here. I've got plenty to say in person or on the phone for folks who wanna hear more.
On principle I don't blog about my personal life -- let's just say I'm very happy there.
So that leaves the general pop culture and politics stuff that I opine about -- and the current landscape is just so unbelievably frustrating. This Mary Shiavo stuff is absurd -- I can't even talk about how ridiculous this *federal* circus is. The theocrats are having their day; let's hope they keep pushing an agenda which the majority of Americans find repellent. Course, it'd be nice if the Dems pointed it out...
Culture wise, I'm loving _Fat Actress_, critics be damned. Alley's willingness to completely humilaite herself in quest of a laugh (and she's playing herself!) reminds this viewer of the best British sitcoms (think _Abfab_ and _Keeping Up Appearances_). American TV stars do not exhibit this very often... and the results are a scream. Yes, the show is ripping off _Curb Your Enthusiasm_. It's still funny.
