First and only

I watched my first episode of Glee tonight, only because it was the episode that Joss directed. Even such a drawcard (plus NPH, singing) was not enough to help me overcome my indifference to this programme. I can see that the actors are talented and that there's whole lot of very earnest endeavour happening but it just does nothing for me .... at all.

Mixed feelings

It's good to hear Terry Pratchett sounding so upbeat and dealing with the early stages of Alzheimer's with his usual aplomb. It does sound as though it is starting to have an effect though - it must be particularly galling for a man with such an ability to use and manipulate words to struggle with everyday conversations and phrases so much.
