Diversions

There are several things I am doing right now to try to keep my mind off of the impending doom of homelessness.  I listen to music. (we discussed who in a recent blog) I do cross stitch when I feel like it. I watch movies. (Mostly feel good love stories) I read, and I watch TV.  One of the shows I have learned to love is GLEE.  I must admit, I watched 1 episode in season 1 and thought it was one of  the dumbest shows I had ever seen.  Yes it has people with two different disabilities in it as well as a gay character.  Something I had never seen in other shows.  But in my old school choir never got slushed.  We were good.  Why the big deal?  I could see why some teenagers might like it.  But I am over 40.  It was the heavy set girl Lauren Zizes and Noah Puckerman did it for me.  I have been hooked since then.  It was the valentine's day episode when Noah realizes he loves Lauren a"whole lotta woman" that gets me.  I laughed my butt off when he sings Queen's Fat Bottom Girls.  I also absolutely loved their song.  Losers Like Me.    So in a total diversion from real life I wish for Sam and his family (and me) to get back on their feet. May Kurt find a place where he will be accepted.  I hope Artie, Brittany, and Santana work out their weird love triangle thing, and Rachel, Finn and Quinn chill out.  Oh and Mercedes, you need some of your own story lines.  And the Bully Kerofsky, Find some peace, come out when you are ready.

I also happen to love Lincoln Rhyme novels.  I have it in my head that I will read all of the Lincoln Rhyme novels that Jeffery Deaver writes.  I have read 4 or 5 of them already.  You may know The Bone Collector, The Empty Chair, and the Coffin Dancer. I am currently reading The Twelfth Card. If you don't know the Lincoln Rhyme Novels I think you should.  Lincoln Rhyme is a forensics expert. (like CSI) While investigating a crime scene, a mine shaft collapsed and a piece of board broke his neck.  Now he is a quad.  He is unable to move anything but his head, neck and 1 finger.  Because he is so brilliant, the NY PD still uses him in their most difficult cases.  With his girlfriend and sidekick,  Detective Amelia Sacs, they solve crimes together.  The best part is how they investigate crime scenes.  She goes as the investigator, with a pair of head phones on that connect to Lincoln Rhyme via phone.  I wonder if they will ever investigate using a web cam or skype?  Anyway how's that for ADA compliance.  This new book is good.  There is a killer after a 16 year old high school student.  No one knows why?  He has already Killed 1 and shot an innocent bystander to create a diversion.  He also pushed a girl under a bus to create another when the cops were too close.  I'll keep you posted.  I find all the Lincoln Rhyme novels great page turners if anyone is interested.  Take Care
