Where can we find you this Memorial Day Weekend?

I live in a part of the country where finding a job is not impossible. The economic strain hasn’t quite reared its ugly head here. So, I have a right to complain when they screw me by paying minumum wage AND cutting my hours IN HALF after hiring me without warning me of either of those things. I took that job as a favor, and passed over ones with better compensation. If those raging incompetents want to schedule me on a holiday (yes, holiday - I don’t believe in militia nor nationalism), they could at least give me holiday pay.

There are plenty things to be grateful for, I agree, but a sh!tty job is not one of them. Hence I am revising my resume and searching for something else this month.

Work. F*CKING. WORK.

Where do you stand on regret?

I have scholastic regrets and medical regrets; do those count? lol

I ain’t complainin’, though. Regret is useful in preventing us from doing things so thoughtlessly again in the future.

Where do you go for new music?

For example: indie films, shows like "The L Word", "Nip/Tuck", and yes even that damn overrated "Grey’s Anatomy" all have some impressive soundtracks. I also like to go profile-hopping through MySpace artists.

Where do you go for new music?

Other: I turn to my favorite artists’ recommendations and influences, AND I pay close attention to QUALITY television shows and films - usually if they bother with good writing/acting/production, they also acquire talented crew members for soundtrack selection.

'Grey's Anatomy' Season Finale: George O'Malley, Izzie Steven: Dead or Alive? (Spoilers)

Is this "Shonda" the person I blame for exposing the mainstream masses to good indie music like my once-beloved Tegan & Sara? I swear, before Grey’s, NO ONE knew who they were. Normally I’m not so elitist and possessive of my favorite artists, but knowing that the types who watch this kind of show are being exposed to GOOD music almost feels a little insulting to my own taste.

Nip/Tuck is the only show that dares to explore the darker sides (more like dusty corners and cracks lol) of our psyche - that’s why it’s more difficult for some to admit they enjoy such a seemingly outrageous show - but, in the end, it’s still all about the Human Condition.

The series got interrupted and kinda screwed up by that writer’s strike. So last season got split into two seasons, the second part just finished airing a couple months ago and only consisted of EIGHT episodes. Then it won’t return until - get this - EARLY NEXT YEAR. *sigh* The series is due to conclude in 2011.

No thanks. Will stick to my Nip/Tuck and House for medical melodrama, hold the schmaltz.

Liz Smith: Hisses as Broadway Disses Dolly Parton

HA.

What might the loss of our tradition of bipartisanism mean for the country?

Excuse me, I am not a "fence-sitter" just because NEITHER party is capable of doing things correctly without getting too far into extremes. Certain issues call for conservatism while other issues call for progressiveness, therefore we Indies vote according to which overrated politician has their priorities closest to ours. Simple as that.
