Come for the lesbians, stay for the blog!

Everyone loves Raymond; important people love me.
I was just realizing today, the other day, I promised a post today, even though I posted a lot of times in between that day and this. This one will be probably kind of short. So Dorothy, this is for you. ("What?" most of you ask. "Shut up," I say, "she might run her car into me and lock me in her house if I don't post."
So... what's in the news today? Well, there was that subway bombing in Spain. That's... not too funny.
I watched the new episode of Joan of Arcadia, which I don't hate; in fact it's not bad. I mean, sure, it's all about God and stuff, and that's kind of weird, but at its core, it's a pretty good show. Now tonight was also the premiere of "Wonder Falls", which must be FOX's answer to "Joan". Now, I had some misgivings, as this show appeared to be exactly the same; girl who isn't quite clear what to do with herself receives cryptic, yet accurate advice from a mystic source. Of course, in Wonder Falls, the mystic source is various plastic, metal, polyester, and other forms of animal-shaped figurine. That seemed heinously hokey and potentially horrible.
Well, I have to admit, this show had problems. Pretty odd show. But it had a bizarre quirkiness that you just don't see on network television much these days, and it was kind of interesting. This is common to FOX, which has a tendency to air interesting or brilliant, original shows, and then canceling them. I'm not saying this show was brilliant, and it wasn't original enough to come up with an idea that wasn't a pretty close copy of Joan of Arcadia, which also premiered this year, but it IS interesting.
"How," you might ask, "is it different from Joan of Arcadia? What advantages might it have?"
Well, there's no God in this show, so it doesn't make me feel vaguely uncomfortable. But, mainly, I like the characters. They're nasty and petty, and spiteful, and just good enough to be appealing. Kind of like the characters in Seinfeld, except I don't like that show so much. It's okay.
The show is hard to describe, but it's just got a bizarre style that somehow appeals to me. I mean, I don't really like it THAT much, and I may never see it again, but it's something I haven't much seen around, and so I feel kind of happy. I guess maybe you should see it, since I can't easily describe it. Oh, and the main character's sister is a lesbian, and that's somewhat hot. In my opinion, the more lesbians on TV, the better. Up to a point. I guess at some point, there would be a lesbian over-saturation, but I can't see that happening soon.
Okay, so I finished that comic I was mentioning. It probably sucks, but it's the first one I've completed, and for that purpose alone, I'm proud of it. Also, my ability to draw with a tablet has improved considerably. Find the comic at: http://www.deviantart.com/view/5804624/
