Music is good

I love listening to tunes that are just melody or true song with something to say. I have a thing against tunes with no meat in their lyrics or in languages that I can not understand (although I have no problem with anime music??) they just don't work for me. That's one of the problems I have with Nina's 99 luft balloons, I prefer the English because I find the lyrics so personal to her, her fears and hopes and although it is good in German I find that most people don't know the meaning of the song.

Just some things that I have been thinking about for a long time. Lyrics and script matter to me. It is going to sound odd to some but Gilmore Girls rocks, just great script writing, just going through their lives with no greater purpose than living, much like the rest of us.

It is really a good life.

Sport night has never done it for me. I used to be a soccer fan and I liked tennis, but as I grew up I realised that they added nothing to my life and that the (mostly) male bonding only added a sense of loss of humanity. I have no problem with banter, but masoginistic banter usually isn't witty.

erm, are we talking about the same show here? aaron sorkin's sports night??

I'm not talking about espn. this was a sitcom that was on for two seasons a few years back. peter krause, felicity huffman, josh charles, benson... it's the best show ever made. and that speaks volumes coming from a rabid red dwarf and office fan...

it's the same guy who did west wing, and from what I've read (never seen west wing, myself), it cover several of the same topics. sorkin actually reused some of his best bits on sports night for west wing plots. it's a tad less dramatic than west wing, I'd imagine. great characters tho, both development and dialogue. and the first season and a half were brilliant. it started to fade by the end of the second season, but it wasn't properly cared for by the network...
