Speaking of which, anybody think this is Unsigned Showcase worthy? http://www.myspace.com/arden Can't decide. Anybody watch Flash Forward last night? It was intriguing enough for a LOST fan, and if you're willing to invest the energy in following it, I think it could be a fun ride. Still have to watch Heroes and Glee from this week. I'm so glad Glee is rapidly gaining fans - with so many nods to broadway and its stars, I can't help but root for it 100%. Heroes on the other hand - I'm not expecting much but I feel.... obligated? Oh, I also though Parks and Recreation was hilarious last night. Should I be watching this show? Aziz Ansari is a riot as always.

That’s my life, Nothing is sacred. I don’t keep friends, I keep acquainted, I’m not a prophet, But I’m here to profit. That’s all, I’m gone! That’s my life, Nothing is sacred. I don’t fall in love, I just fake it. I don’t fall in love. I don’t fall in love."
