Samson or The US Open Champ?

Hah.  I’m pretty open about my metrosexual appreciation of Glee.  Sometimes the singing gets to me.  I hear ya .. “eh, isn’t that what its all about”.  Yes and no.  Whoever writes the scripts is a genius.  Anyone who believes that this show is for the teenage kids it portrays you are sadly mistaken.  First, think of the music.  Journey, REO Speedwagon, John Denver, Color Me Badd, Young MC, Billy Idol.  Yes, I know there’s some Lily Allen, Christina, Madonna and Beyonce but anyone brave enough to put Rick Springfield’s “Jessie’s Girl” on a ‘teen’ show has a major set.  But for me its the dialogue.  You have to listen hard, follow it close but you get some gems.  Here are few favourites:

“While Jackie Daniels is a great name for a power boat or something, it’s not great for a baby girl.”
“I’m a sex shark. If I stop moving, I die.”

But my favourite is:

“I feel like that guy that lost all his hair and lost all his strength.”
“Samson?”
“Agassi.”

Someone writes this…and boy are the good at it.

Jimmy Buffet once said that he was glad he didn’t live in a trailer…I reckon if I had him bare chested I could call it an Ode to Sally Mann photo

Tough plot…stay with it!

The music when Bullseye reveals the shrine to Woody is SOO inspired by Aaron Copeland’s Appalachian Spring

There’s a site (far right) I wouldn’t have guessed you would ever see in my house a few years ago

For the record, I’ve recently got a Panasonic GF1 with a 20mm 1.7 lens.  I’ve searched (and even bought) compact digital cameras in the past.  I was totally unconvinced by the genre.  Then I heard about this camera, had a look at some info, nabbed a few files from a friend and made the leap.  I can honestly say that it is the BEST compact camera I’ve ever seen or used.  Fast focusing, nice optics (in the 20mm 1.7), great video (720) and proper shutter sound (not a WAV file but a real shutter).  If you’ve been searching, I suggest you take a look.  All of the images above (and from here on if you notice an image in 16:9 format you’ll know its the GF1 — BTW, you can shoot in 4:3, 3:2 or 16:9…I just like the 16:9 for something completely different to my usual).
