If you receive a "notice of graduation" from someone, does that mean you need to send money or a gift to congratulate? - Fednog Dec 15, 07:34 3
- if he is expecting a gift from your parents, he should send them a graduation announcement directly. -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 15, 07:37 1
  - and unless he's immediate family, or a close family friend, I don't think you're expected to give a gift yourself. -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 15, 07:44

        there's not much in the middle of this country, but I may be there before long. -- nm - away in a mafic Dec 15, 07:43 2
        
        bc of lower cost of living? -- nm - Fednog Dec 15, 07:44 1

    - i know the new one is supposed to be one of the High School Musical kids...i didn't know if that meant Lin Manuel was already gone or not -- nm - Fednog Dec 15, 07:30 7
      - I think he's on to other projects. And today it was just reported that Kenny Ortega (This Is It, High School Musical 3) will be directing the film - Diva Dec 15, 07:33 6
        
        Just read more. Lin Manuel Miranda is set to star in the film as well. (yay!) -- nm - Diva Dec 15, 07:37 5

      - i'd ask you where i should mail it, but we're not allowed to post that type of info on ST -- nm - Fednog Dec 15, 07:26 2
        
        You'd never find it anyways. mafic is probably in the antartic or something -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 15, 07:31 1

- Am I going to Hell for thinking that song is funny? -- nm - Dano Dec 15, 07:15 2
  - Not for that, no. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Dec 15, 07:15 1
    - heh -- nm - JaxSean Dec 15, 07:29
- the same reason people make sad songs the rest of the year, I'd think. -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 15, 06:59 6
  - have you *heard* it? it's like, oh, sure, now i feel festive... -- nm - Andie Dec 15, 07:01 5
    - It sad but reflective on holiday themes like giving, sacrifice, others first, etc -- nm - MyrrhDragon Dec 15, 07:29
    - no, I have not. -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 15, 07:02 3
      - ask (or not) and you shall receive.... -- (link) - Andie Dec 15, 07:04 [youtube] 2
        
        If I hear it on the radio, I switch the station. -- nm - Shaun Dec 15, 07:32
        
        I'll check it out when I'm at home tonight. -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 15, 07:05
Of course HFPA loves Glee - ty97 Dec 15, 06:52 38
- Okay, since all I see here are numerous shots at it's plotting...what is quality about it *other* than they sing well? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 15, 07:09 33
  - It has a great attitude about itself. -- nm - amanda Dec 15, 07:39
  - and you'll also note that the plot complaints disappeared. Great pilot, rough first couple episodes, then it hit a groove. -- nm - Dano Dec 15, 07:35
  - I'm not even sure they sing all that well. it's hard to tell through all the freaking autotune. -- nm - away in a mafic Dec 15, 07:18 26
    - Rachel and Mr. Shoe can definitely sing. -- nm - Dano Dec 15, 07:21
    - I've seen Lea Michele and matt Morrison sing live on more than one occasion. They're fantastic singers. -- nm - Diva Dec 15, 07:19 24
      - Word. -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 15, 07:23
      - which just makes it all the more irritating that they process the hell out of all the songs. -- nm - away in a mafic Dec 15, 07:22 22
        
        One of my favorite songs of the season was the impromptu "jam session" they did in the classroom where it sounded like they just recorded it off the - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 15, 07:25
        
        yeah! it was so cool to see cheyenne jackson singing live in the 30 rock ep last week. -- nm - Fednog Dec 15, 07:24 2
        
        was he naked? -- nm - Dano Dec 15, 07:25 1
        
        no. sweatered up -- nm - Fednog Dec 15, 07:26
        
        My guess is that they need to process everyone so Finn doesn't stand out so much. -- nm - Dano Dec 15, 07:24 17
        
        his are definitely the worst. mercedes seems almost not to be touched. - away in a mafic Dec 15, 07:25 8
        
        I don't get his casting. He's cute and all, and can fit the football player part too, but they really couldn't find someone better? - Dano Dec 15, 07:31 5
        
        Agreed 1000 times over. Horribly miscast -- nm - ty97 Dec 15, 07:40
        
        just curious, who would you have wanted? -- nm - Fednog Dec 15, 07:37 2
        
        Another unknown so I don't know, but it surprises me that after what I assume was an extensive casting process they wound up with him. -- nm - Dano Ho Ho Dec 15, 07:41
        
        i don't think he has a specific person in mind, just that in a world of singer/actors, there is someone who could play the role better. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 15, 07:38
        
        definitely the weak link. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 15, 07:35
        
        i thought that her perf of "i am telling you" was pretty processed...imo -- nm - Fednog Dec 15, 07:29
        
        I think that's what's happening sometimes with Rachel. -- nm - Diva Dec 15, 07:28
        
        I can't wait for Auto-Tune to be over as a recording trend. -- nm - Diva Dec 15, 07:24 7
        
        Do you believe it will go away? I hope so, but I'm not sure. -- nm - ty97 Dec 15, 07:42 1
        
        I think there will always be studio assistance on vocals. But the computerized weird sound being added to true voices as a gimmicky trend - - Diva Dec 15, 07:44
        
        I wish I knew what you were talking about :) -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 15, 07:25 3

        Word -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 15, 07:25
  - It's funny. -- nm - Dano Dec 15, 07:16 1
    - The best 14 seconds of Glee. -- (link) - Dano Dec 15, 07:23 [youtube]
  - The singing and the humor. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Dec 15, 07:12

- No. -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 15, 06:47
- I would say no; only if for appearances-sake. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 15, 06:47 2

- I just tried Will's configuration against a level 23 with no troops.... lost 3 hoplites in the first round; defender lost 4 out of 7 walls. - CrankYanker Dec 15, 06:41 1
  - Wall level 17 -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 15, 06:43
- Oh, and my first battle.....25 hops & 15 mortars went in, 25 and 15 came out vs a level 2 wall - Will Hunting Dec 15, 06:39

Blanchett 'Streetcar' a Broadway possibility? -- (link) - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 15, 06:37 6
- FWIW, when they debuted it in DC, they stated she would be on Broadway for it -- nm - MDH Dec 15, 06:45 5
  - shows what they know in DC. :) -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 15, 06:48 4
    - It sold out its entire DC run over a month before starting, so it's got big potential -- nm - MDH Dec 15, 06:50 3
      - ditto here. I wish I had been paying attention when it was announced. -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 15, 06:52 2

Cop Rock was the original Glee! -- nm - Steven Bochco Dec 15, 06:30
MDH - I love me some Rachel, but she doesn't have a shot in hell of winning that award over Tina Fey. - Jim Dec 15, 06:30 4
- The Globes do have a history of awarding the young newcomer. -- nm - Dano Dec 15, 06:36 1
  - Yep - Jennifer Garner: first year of Alias. America Ferrera - 1st year of Ugly Bettty. Anna Paquin - first year of True Blood. -- nm - Diva Dec 15, 06:44
- Agreed on the overrated part, I just think the HFPA might get sick of awarding the same people/ show that no one cares about - MDH Dec 15, 06:34 1
  - Glee and 30 Rock's ratings are basically even, FYI, so careful with those stones. -- nm - Reagen Dec 15, 06:38
