God. Glee, I was looking forward to you all week, and instead of being good, instead of continuing storylines, we get the most unreasonable, nonsense... just... no. I have no words. Nothing made sense. The characters are just so impossibly stupid sometimes. And Justin Bieber. God. How this show goes from so good one week to so bad the next is beyond me.

"Who's more rock and roll than Justin Bieber?"
My 18 year old cat is. An actual rock is. Anything is.

I suppose the young show fans were tickled pink at this ep.

Edit: Does anyone read Lois McMaster Bujold? I picked one of her books semi-at random (The Curse of Chalion), and it kind of feels like we're jumping into the middle of a story, like it's not the first book in the series. Wiki says it is, but I wonder if there was some other series that touched on this world/characters I should have read first? I don't mind when books just toss you into the middle of stuff and don't explain it (I like that, in fact!), I just don't want to be starting in the wrong place.

Nope, Chalion's the first one (and the best). It's meant to be kind of in media res.

What Julian said. Chalion is the first (AND the best, although I adore the other two as well) and there is a very, very good reason why Bujold starts you when and where she does, which you get to find out later.

It's one of my favorite books of all-time, and I am gleeful that you are reading it. I hope you adore it as much as I did. I think it's a tremendous work of literary art in a lot of ways.

Oooh, wow, I got lucky then and picked a good one! I'm really, really liking it. I love her writing style and though I'm still early in the book, the worldbuilding seems outstanding too.

She's my favorite author. <3 I adore her Miles serious. I've never had a book make me stand up and cheer before, but her's did. :)

Wait! Have you never READ any MILES? Wow, you have treats in store. (Though I like the two books about his mom (before he was born) better.)

Nope, not a single book! Once I'm done with this one, I'll start on them.

Yay new good author with lots of books!

So far I'm enjoying it! Poor book is taking a small hit though, I still have that 'but I don't want to read this, I want to read (previous series) /whine' thing going on.

I'll keep you posted!

An actual rock is

Perhaps one that is rolls down a hill. So it rocks and rolls! Or it's a rolling stone.

Either way, I bet there'll be no moss on it!

I was going to take it full circle and find a Justin Bieber chia pet to post, but apparently it doesn't exist yet...
