Save Our Show!!!

If you're a fan of ABC Family's new show "The Middleman," like me, then you're probably aware that the possibility of a second season is up in the air. If you haven't watched "The Middleman," you are seriously missing out. The show is an astoundingly smart comedy about an unemployed artist, Wendy Watson, who is enlisted by the Middleman, a gadgeted, hyper-trained and uber handsome protector of the universe who works for a mysterious organization, to help fight off the extraterrestrial, the paranormal and all other matters of the unusual and dangerous (i.e. a gang of luchadores). The show is a wonderfully effective mixture of "Pushing Daisies," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Men In Black" and it would be nothing short of a national tragedy if this show is canceled. What can be done???

Well, first things first. If you're a fan, keep watching and tell all your friends about it. I try to plug the show whenever possible. Secondly, if you aren't watching, then get cracking! Time is of the essence folks! The show airs on Mondays at 10 p.m. You can catch up on the episodes at "The Middleman" ABC Family website. Check out this awesome PSA/commercial.

For those interested in taking your support to the next level, send ABC Family a message here telling them how much you love the show. Additionally, a campaign has been started to send bags of M&Ms to ABC Family (MM for Middleman, and also WW for Wendy Watson!) along with a message of support. Show-saving chocolate can be sent to the following address:

Paul Lee
President, ABC Family
500 South Buena Vista St
Burbank, CA 91521

I'll certainly be sending in my M&Ms. Hopefully a shower of support can keep this great show on the air!

Shameless Self Promotion

In other words, another blog: sofistafunkmusic.blogspot.com. It probably seems pretty odd for my first post in a long time to be about another blog, but stick with me here, all things in time, my friends.

I know what you're thinking, "But Sofia, another blog? You don't even update the one(s) you already have." (Scary how much I'm in your head, huh?) Certainly this is a charge that I cannot and will not deny. But I was feeling inspired, and inspiration is as good a motivator as anything, except perhaps monetary incentives or threat of death. My point is that when you feel inspired, it's generally good to run with it.

Anyway, here's the story—no more dilly dallying, promise. I've been volunteering at KALX 90.7 FM, the campus radio station at Berkeley since my sophomore year. I've committed to DJing more regularly (like once to twice a month regularly) and thought it would be neat to have a blog to not only catalogue my experiences because I find it inherently interesting, but also a place to foster my imaginary future fan base. Deluded, I know. But one's got to have dreams. Plus blogs, to a varying degrees, are all about shameless self promotion. So this works on several levels.

So check out "Bringing the Sofistafunk." I hope to be updating that one pretty regularly and hopefully that inspiration will trickle down to the other blogs by way of the invisible hand of blog land. Hey, I already got one blog post on here out of it, so I'd say that isn't so bad.
