On thinking far too much about the plot of Glee

Liz is struggling to suspend disbelief that Rachel can't recognise Idina Menzel's voice, when we know that Defying Gravity's her all-time favourite showtune. A ridiculous thing to worry about? Quite possibly.

On near disenfranchisement owing to fire

Liz had many thoughts going through her mind whilst locked out of the gym for an hour with just her gym kit & iPod. Catching hypothermia, dying from embarrassment by being outside in public in vest & shorts and wondering what caused the fire were sidelined by the fear that she might not make it to the polling station in time. [She made it - in her gym kit.]
