iPoding Jesus Christ Superstar and tv stuff

[tenaya]

I was downsized from work after four hours. At 10:30pm not much is open. So, I watched the Tuesday shows (The Mentalist is getting better with more empathy from the main character and less smirking. A really good direction for it.) NCIS was good as usual. I didn't find Ducky referring to one of the cast as a Narcissistic personality offensive at all, but I'm not all that crazy about that character. And I'm still getting caught up on Without a Trace. Can LaPaglia play Jack any more creepier than he is doing? This character bears no resemblance to the guy that was in the first season. Blah!

So, I went back to downloading music. Tonight's big conundrum is trying to find the right version of Jesus Christ Superstar. I suppose the right version is the version one first hears. It turns out I own three copies of JC, SS and none of them are the right one. I suspect that the one they played on the radio was the first one, the concept album they made before they put together the musical. Isn't that strange to think? Andrew Lloyd Weber didn't get a blank check to do the play right off. But it was pretty radical for the time--rock music sullying religion. Horrors!!

Another odd thing was that it took my sound track of Local Hero by Mark Knopfler and split it into 7 different albums. Very odd.

Aaaaugh! I missed the Mentalist! AGAIN! And our wonky DVR system won't let me record the series until the schedule moves on to next week.

It's much more interesting than Heroes is this season. What's with Heroes, anyway? Bad is good and good is bad and gray is simply a color?

I've got all of this season's Heroes on the other Tivo but haven't watched any of it. There are a couple on my flist that like it, but most do not. I don't care for shows that make radical changes to characters just to open up more plot possibilities. That's just lazy writing and how can I bond to characters who change so much?

Yep, try to watch the Mentalist; each ep seems to be getting better.
