Uh oh!

I'm listening to a new episode of WireTap as I type; it's called "The Elite." Today's episode starts with an original theme song. Goldstein & co. have been on a mission recently to find a (Golden Girls-esque) theme song for the show. I listened to it realizing that there is no way that I'll be able to cover all seven of these incredible seasons in this project. Every new episode adds a further layer of complication to my understanding of the show's engagement with technology and the body. Today's episode starts with Jonathan and his sister, Marie-Claude, driving in the car listening to the radio, discussing a Lady Gaga song that has come on (see yesterday's post, which ends with my comments on Lady Gaga). Then Jonathan and Howard discuss Howard's internet IQ test results. And then Josh calls Jonathan to tell him he's been "tapped" into a secret society (which turns out to be a cult), but first accuses Jonathan of "tweeting" everything told to him in confidence. And then Gregor calls Jonathan to bully him into creating a twin, Corbin Goldstein, who will eventually become more popular than Jonathan, ultimately killing him (Jonathan) off.

It's incredible. I have no idea how to pick and choose among the scores of episodes, especially as new ones come out each week. Moreover, I can't even write a blog post in the 26 minute length of the show because now that I'm listening for it, every single conversation gives me more to write about. I'll have to choose some arbitrary timeline from which to select my episodes. Or draw them out of a hat? Email Goldstein and ask him which are his favourites? Take a poll? Transform my MRP into a thesis because there's too much to say?
