I am an economist-linguist by day and an avid reader by night. (I also really, really like parenthesis).

I live in Warsaw – Poland’s national capital. (No, I do not like politics nor do I work for the government.) Apart from reading, I play tennis, ski, sail and travel (for now Europe but in time we’ll see;). Also, I’ve started learning professional photography lately and let me tell you, it’s as much fun as it is tricky!!

Occasionally, I have a book buying problem – that is if you consider going into a book store to browse and leave with 6 books a problem. (But that’s not really a problem, is it? I’m not alone in this, am I? Anyone?)

I also have a thing for chocolate. And nachos. Mmm nachos. I could pretty much eat nachos every day of the week.</description><title>Stardust585</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @stardust585)</generator><link>http://stardust585.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>On ‘Choke’ and its aftermath…defending the 'immoral Glee''</title><description>&lt;p&gt;After reading &lt;a href="http://thinkprogress.org/alyssa/2012/05/02/475188/glee-is-an-immoral-television-show-and-its-time-to-stop-watching-it/?mobile=nc"&gt;Rosenberg&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.afterelton.com/column/glee-is-not-immoral"&gt;Keith&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I first fell in love with Glee because it turned everything on its ear. It was quirky, and unusual, and put a unique spin on high school stereotypes. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been that show for quite a while now. I think it’s fallen victim to its own success. Yes, these are important life topics.  No, Glee does not have to cover EVERY social issue to be considered a quality show!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reading Alyssa Rosenberg&amp;#8217;s article, I had to admit she made a very convincing case. I share almost every problem she has with the show – it does treat serious issues lightly, sometimes borderline cruelly, and it’s become ever more preachy and lazy. Still, I do not believe Glee is immoral and I continue to have hope for this show because:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Portraying loving lesbian and gay teenage couples is ground-breaking. It just is.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Exposing the hypocrisy and fleeting shelf life of high school popularity is empowering.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Showcasing talented performers in well-crafted musical numbers is entertaining.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Showing Chris Colfer dancing in gold pants is breath-taking XD&lt;/li&gt;

I was on puppy duty the whole weekend since my family was away and our 3-month-old border collie is like a hurricane and can under NO circumstances be left home alone&amp;#8230;she&amp;#8217;s adorable and all kinds of sweet but honestly, how many shoes can you chew on in one day? And how many holes in the backyard can you dig up? Answer: A LOT!! And seriously, she chews on anything within her reach - I swear, after that experience raising my own children one day will be a breeze;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyways, unfortunately I didn&amp;#8217;t have much time to write so &amp;#8216;Odds&amp;#8217; will be a bit later this week but hopefully you&amp;#8217;ll all like it - the plus of being a dog-sitter is it gave me plenty of crazy ideas;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Step 1: Casually grab your castmate’s arm to move him out of the way of somebody else.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm1buzNL3n1qi5k7z.gif"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Step 2: While moving him, bring your other hand up and start giving your castmate a neck massage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm1bx6Lq1r1qi5k7z.gif"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Step 3: Turn the neck massage into a shoulder pat so as not to look overly suspicious.&lt;/p&gt;
