How did it get to be Thursday already? And it’s the end of Thursday, even… That doesn’t seem fair. If I promise we don’t need to go back and work again, could we rewind to Monday?
But, no, time marches forward and all we can do is note three beautiful things to mark the passing of the time:
1. Who knew that all it would take to make Northern Virginia pretty is a fresh blanket of snow?
2. The living room glows pink when the Christmas tree is the only thing lit.
3. Glee had its fall finale on Wednesday, and I enjoyed the last episode as much as the first one we saw over the summer. It’s far from a perfect show. In fact, it might be the most flawed show I’ve ever loved, but love it I do. I can (almost) overlook the plot sinkholes and the egregious overuse of auto-tune because of the things the show does have going for it: A great soundtrack (the overproduction of the songs isn’t so obvious on the cd where there’s no dialogue to compare it to) you can sing along to. Characters you like (or like to hate). (Incidentally, I think Quinn might be my favorite, which was a surprise to me.) And a sense of joie de vivre I can’t find anywhere else on tv.
What beautiful things have you noticed recently?
Oh good! I’m glad the finale of Glee happened – now they’ll start showing reruns and I can watch it! I caught one episode a couple weeks ago and loved it, but was also confused so I need to start from the first episodes!
I love the lights of the Christmas tree. I just wish I could read by them! Hmm, wait, I have a book light somewhere – I should use that! Then I could read and enjoy the pretty lights!!

Comment by soe 12.11.09 @ 9:06 amYour entry title will have me singing the Time Bomb song by Rancid all day!! ‘Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah
The boy’s a time bomb’
@Nan: Sorry about that. I wasn’t familiar with the song, so I had to check them out on YouTube. Fun stuff!
Comment by soe 12.11.09 @ 9:36 pmArgh! How can they not air reruns? Everyone airs reruns! Grey’s Anatomy has been reruns all month! ARGH!!! Despite fast computers and a fast internet connection, streaming always ends up being so choppy. ARGH!!
Comment by jenn 12.12.09 @ 6:13 pm@Jenn: I’ve noticed them doing it less and less now that they have the online options. Our reception can be choppy (thank you, Secret Service helicopters), so it seems like online can sometimes be more reliable…
