Things I've learnt from TV: Ally McBeal

Ally McBeal was a great TV programme. A female protagonist who is just a little on the eccentric side, just trying to make a wrong, right. I can relate on a number of levels and the neurosis and flamboyant gesticulations are just the beginning.


This quirky show taught me a lot a lot about life:
1) You need a theme song. I don't necessarily have a 'life' theme song so much as a song of the day but I think it has the same effect.
2) Everybody should have access to a jazz bar in their office building that has a jazz singer who takes requests and where you can "do a number" on a whim.
3) Jon Bon Jovi would make a great handyman. *insert rude plumber joke here*
4) To take the time to take a moment. Lean your head on your hand, resting your fingers on the bridge of your nose and just...take a moment. 
5) Anything can be profound if you add "Fishism" to the end of it.
6) Anorexia is bad.
