SNL - Joseph Gordon-Levitt/Mumford and Sons

Opening with an impersonation of Live with Kelly & Michael – her face scares me… How did they do that in makeup, Nasim’s mouth looks wider than usual O.O And Bill Hader as Robert Pattinson haha that was a good one, I don’t think they’ve ever done that impression before..

I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt!! He’s so cute! Aaand he’s stripping, in an impersonation of Magic Mike haha I feel kind of uncomfortable watching this but also can’t look away… Aaand now he’s not wearing a shirt! Ok then! I officially like this! Lol good call on that, wardrobe department, no one wants to see Bobby Moynahan with no shirt on.. (He was wearing another vest under the one he ripped off). That was not much of a monologue lol but no complaints here ;)

The next thing up was a fauxmercial from the undecided voters – apparently they don’t know anything about the elections, such as when it is, who is running, who the current president is… Or if women can have a baby just from French-kissing. As a Canadian, I feel like that pretty much well represents the intelligence of the American population :P

HAHAHA The son of the most interesting man in the world… I love Joseph, but he looks like such a scumbag haha such a douche little beard… But that concept was so good XD

Now we have a PI who draws caricatures instead of taking photographs haha I know J G-L is a very serious actor, and so far he’s just seemed very Serious.. But Bill Hader can pull off anything, and he does!

OMG more of the son of the most interesting man lawl AND OMG NOW Jason Sudeikis is playing the Most Interesting Man yelling at him.. Lol I was not aware the Most Interesting Man was Spanish… Although the name of the beer is Spanish lol so nevermind

I LOVED this next sketch, Joseph was a hypnotist and he pulled Taran out of the audience and hypnotized him (But Taran was faking) and he acted like a dinosaur and took off his clothes and humped Keenan… I could have done without that mental image lol – and at the end you think he actually was hypnotized because he said he was cheating on his wife (Vanessa) and she acted all mad, but then she was up on stage behind the hypnotist and they were both shaking their heads and laughing.. Lol I have always wanted to see a hypnotist show

A tampon fauxmercial about tampons designed by the male Republicans … Awkward as one would expect from a tampon ad (fake or not) but taking a well-deserved stab at the Republican belief that a bunch of 60+ white dudes who are not medical doctors know everything about how a woman’s body functions…

I have never heard any Mumford & Sons music, but I have several friends who are big fans of them.. They’re not bad, but as a first impression – they all have matching bad postures. Hm.

Weekend Update time!! Election stuff... Election stuff.. Mitt Romney apparently had self-tanner on his face when he spoke for a group of Spanish people haha 'his face looks like my dad's recliner!' Also is completely a different colour than his neck and hands.. I gotta say, if he thinks a dark face will win him votes, Obama totally has him beat in that department... A new segment called 'what are you doing?' lol talking about Obama saying 'I can't change Washington from the inside' Dude! This is silly - Romney's dying in terms of people hating on him, and then Obama steps forward and says something rediculous.. Come on! And no one other than the year 1998 cares about Monica Lewinsky's new book. Very true. Ann Romney made a good point - everyone does like Beyonce :P Or as she says it 'Bay-on-cay' haha OMG I love Seth's sarcastic voice with the wide eyes and the big grin haha 'If this story about offensive homophobic comments made by Paris Hilton changes your opinion of Paris Hilton - WELCOME ABOARD! We've been waiting for you!' hehehe Football talk that I don't understand, but I'm laughing anyway cos Jay Pharoah is getting all high-pitched when he gets mad XD

Next up some dudes in a bar and talking about their awkward life problems while a Beatles coverband called 'Hey Dude' plays haha .. Now they're dancing through the studio? Sure..

Not sure what's happening in this next sketch, it's Jay and Keenan playing rappers who have their own fashion lines and are discussing fashion hahah.. This is just ridiculous haha.. Dudes talking like gangsters while talking about Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs ahaha they're modelling purses and discussing wineglass charms - 'Yo! Dis one look like a swan! And dis one has a tiny lighthouse on it!' 'Dat's so cool! And convenient!' 'That was their intention, yo!' I'm dying! XD

I don't understand why they always make the male hosts dress as a girl for at least ONE sketch... Joseph in a sketch where Fred and one of the new girls 'present' their daughter to a guy singing 'we present her to you' suggesting they go out O.o I'm very much confused and a little frightened lol WHO MAKES UP THESE THINGS?! And then he goes 'uh no thanks' so they scream at him to get out.. Good greif.

The next sketch got cut off at the end.. And it was about people vandalising real estate ads, stuff involving weiners.. Woah and the goodbye at the very end of the episode got cut off too. Odd.

OK I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt (as I have said a great number of times) but this episode was not one of the best :/ Last week's was better. Maybe it was just the writing - I mean it's not his fault if he was given bad sketches! Love you man but I'm only going to give it DOS equis (out of tres haha, see what I did there?)

Glee - 'Britney 2.0'

There was a lot of information thrown at us last week, Gleeks - Rachel's in NY and miserable, Jesus guy is still there, so is Unique, Puck has a secret half-brother, there's a new girl whose name I can't spell and she's the 'new Rachel' but she is really unpopular (especially to the new head bitch, Kitty) because her mom is a fat lunch lady.. And now Kurt's in New York. And still no sign of Finn. Whew. I think I got it all. And I've got my Swedish Berries, and I'm ready to watch!
HAHAH already some Britney S. Pearce hilarity - she stares into the camera as she's talking about herself and then Blaine sees her and asks who she's talking to (apparently she's the only one who can see the camera) and she said she thought she was doing a voiceover lol
Ok apparently Britney's too dumb to be a Cheerio.. Good greif standards... And this made me laugh so hard - Becky spelled her name 'Bockey' on the algebra test, and when I wrote the title of this blog posting, I spelled it 'Brotney' at first hahaha... Weird coincidence... She won't talk to her cat anymore, cos she thought he joined a gang hahaha
OH GOD a Justin Beiber medley.. ew... And my aunt pointed out (I noticed too!) Artie was Britney's boyfriend before, they broke up, that's such an odd song choice lol!
I love this song Unique and Tina did with Marlee/ey, 'Womanizer' about how Jake is into every and any girl that walks by haha that's one of the best montages they've ever done to a song, where he's talking to a girl and gets distracted by the next one who walks by and follows her - awesome!
Rachel and Kurt got a GIANT apartment that they can ride their bikes around like best girl-and-gay-guy-friends were meant to! It's so nice and will OBVIOUSLY be gorgeous - and very pink - by the time they finish it, but I get cold just looking at it haha it seems like it'd be very drafty - old warehouses often are!
I love the version Sam, Tina and Jesus-boy did of 'Three' - I miss the onld Glee days where it's just voices and claps and maybe a guitar or 2 :) What's with the random band guys? Can't they sing?? And how come they have no names?
NO BRITNEY DROP THE RAZOR holy shit hahaha and then she attacks Ben with the umbrella lol gee, I wonder where they got that idea from... Unoriginal but funny nonetheless haha especially the guy screaming 'Leave Britney Alone!'
I love Marlee/ey and Jake... Altho I agree with Tina and Unique on the whole 'Girl. Nuh-uh' front, their song was so pretty! I love 'Crazy', it's probably one of my fave Britney Spears songs :)
Lol Keke the less-famous Siri app.. And Rachel's over-pronunciation is back -.- Looking like a Walgreen's underwear model haha.. Still with the zingers, Cassie! No way Rachel's hair is staying that neat with all the flipping and twirling of her head she's been doing!! Someone get this girl to a chiropractor, STAT! And I don't understand why she needed Brody to be her partner and barely danced with him.. She spent more time dancing with the table than him! And ok she's turned up the serious bitchiness, at least all of Cassie's disses were FUNNY!
OMG PUCK!!!!!!!!!!! I'VE MISSED HIM AND HIS SARCASM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But ok I was very proud of Jake for standing up for the lunch lady - even if he got in trouble for beating up the asshole football players.
YAAY!! PRINCIPAL FIGGINS! The man who makes it the most ironic to say 'team pep' while completely monotone hehehe and he shushed the already-silent crowd lol
Ok Britney's addicted to Cheese puffs - I can't blame her, those things are delicious!! She was the only one lip-syncing lol no one else was really singing lol how would they be lip-syncing?!
Alright, swaying your hips and pouting at yourself in a mirror is NOT working lol ... And I was gonna say, she couldn't just kick Rachel out of class, doesn't she need that class for her program? Or whatever 'program' you can have at an ARTS school pfft
Sam is adorable, I love him haha.. Altho it was reall random that he was the one to help her out - especially because he was the one to step forward and reach out to Marlee/ey about being poor - he and Brit have their blondeness in common! And she misses the smell of Santana's armpits, that actually made me snort XD
BAHAHAHA she knew who Obama was but thought George Washington was Glenn Close hahaha I love this show!
Allow me to remember this line - 'The cure for loneliness is cake' for the next time I'm feeling down :P And Brody likes her - shocker! And tries to kiss her, in full view of the giant Finn-heart painted on the wall lol.. How is their apartment so old and dingy-looking, and then the floor is SPOTLESS?! I repainted my room over the summer, and let me tell you, you DO NOT start with the floor!! And dropcloths are your best friend! Put them EVERYWHERE! EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU NEED THEM! Even in the next room over!
OH SHIT SHE DIDN'T!!! Kitty came up and said she and Jake were dating now - and he looked reluctant about it lol she's so awful! If he has one of his urges to punch someone, I would not complain if he decided to punch her!! Except maybe that would be considered domestic violence, so nevermind, I take that back!
The last song (I can't remember the name of it, sorry) is so pretty, I've always thought so, even tho it's so sad... And she's painting over the giant Finn heart! In full view of the orchid! Uh-oh plot twist!
OK I give this week's episode 9 Puckerman children out of 10 (there are probably more out there!)
 I'm going to go to bed now, g'night Gleeks! Until next week!

Bones - 'The Future In the Past'

I am extremely excited about this new episode - especially after the cliffhanger of a finale we had last season!  And John Frances Daley (Sweets) is live tweeting during this episode, so I'm really excited for that too :) I love when people do that, just like when Barret Foa (Eric) live tweeted during his special episode of NCIS: LA last season :P
So Bones is blonde now... Which is not a very good look for her lol I'm pretty sure it's a wig... But Christine has gotten really cute haha she keeps saying 'papa' when shown pictures of Booth.. Awwe so sad :(
Angela of course has kept trying to figure out how Pelant doctored security footage to frame Brennan. And now Clarke is the resident anthropologist at the Jeffersonian?! That's not fair! I mean, I guess it's been 3 months, but he's so irritating and he's quit like three times and is still there! He's so boring... and a little bit OCD, even more than Bones... His damn binders!
Hey, I just noticed, they changed the opening sequence! Not just the actual credits, but the music.. It's the same song, but a little different. Weird.
So then we see Booth's been demoted to 'desk jockey' and it makes me sad, I love his office, it's orange! It's so bright and cheerful!
Then we see him standing around Pelant's workplace because the bastard now has access to computers... God I hate when the justice system is so flawed!
Brennan ran off briefly, she told her dad 'there was something I have to do' and then we see the Jeffersonian team at a crime scene, where a body has been professionally uncovered. They figure that Bones probably made the discovery (initially Clark is suspicious that Bones killed the victim, the bastard), and Angela discovers a bouquet of flowers nearby that was clearly a message from Brennan.
The woman is identified as a guidance counsellor who disappeared 10 years prior. She used to work at the highschool Pelant went to.
Booth then is in a car and calls Cam saying that he is going to Atlantic City. Then he finds Bones! And they immediately start making out. Lovely.
Pelant went through all the computer records on the case - that son of a bitch knows everything!!! Damn you modern technology for being so accessible to the bad guys!
So Angela clears Caronline, Angela is in cahoots with Brennan and now 90% of the team knows, bla bla... Still no tweets from Sweets (see what I did there haha).. I sent a tweet to him asking 'where are you?!'just as Sweets came on screen.. It was a weird concept, seeing someone as you were attempting to contact them haha, almost thought for a second 'Oh nevermind, he can't tweet, he's busy, he's talking to Caroline' bahaha such a fail on my part but an entertaining anecdote nevertheless... Sweets tells Caroline that Pelant most likely killed the guidance counsellor because he forged a letter of recommendation, saying it was from her, that helped him get into Stanford. The forging happened RIGHT before she disappeared.
Angela sent Hodgins to drop off flowers as a message for Bones, but Pelant was there, the bastard! He mocks Hodgins (again, the bastard!) who threatens him, and then proceeds to strangle him - not going to lie, when Pelant first fell unconscious, I actually gasped because I thought Hodgins had killed him - what a plot twist that would have been lol! It made a good point tho because Pelant had said that the psychological profile of Hodgins was that he had anger but hated confrontation and instead would yell and put his energy into conspiracies.
Then Max shows up at the same drop site, and gives an angry little speech about how Pelant better leave his family alone or he would kill him (man, that guy has so many people wishing for his death - first Booth, then Hodgins, now Max? I'm sure Bones and everyone else are on that list somewhere too lol, they just havent't said so out loud yet...)
Hodgins tells Cam that she should take Clark and all the security guards and leave the museum for several hours - Clark seems very confused by this, but goes along with it haha... I'm confused too, I mean how do you just TELL security guards to leave their post? And they all just go? Makes no sense, but whatever, it worked haha
Booth and Brennan show up at the lab (no one else is surprised by this, I'm sure) and - here's the surprise - Brennan loves Clark's binders.
Sweets figures out that Pelant wants one of the team members to kill him, and that gives Angela enough evidence to figure out the code that Brennan's friend (the dead one) wrote on the wall! It was the code whick removed Brennan from the damning security footage!
Booth gives a chip that Hodgins had given him to Agent Flynn - it contains evidence that Pelant had hacked into the FBI network, which is 1) a federal crime and 2) a violation of his parole, soooo they can arrest him again!
They figure out that the murder weapon was an old Japanese sword that belonged to Pelant's grandfather. The look on his face when Booth showed him the sword was priceless - it literally DROPPED, I mean first the smugness went out of his eyes, then his cheeks, then his mouth and then his jaw, it was hilarious XD
So he's gone away, Brennan is cleared, they all have a little soiree at Casa Booth/Brennan (Boonan? Brooth? Someone give them a couple name, STAT!) and they announce that not only is Brennan free to resume her job at the Jeffersonian, but Booth is getting his old job back (yay orange office!) and  Clark can stay on at the museum because Cam has decided they need a second anthropologist so that one can focus on crime and the other on 'serious archeological work'. Clark is all excited because he hates crime! And loves serious acheological work! And Brennan is axcited too, because she loves crime :P And I'm a little less than excited, because this means we may be seeing more of boring Clark-man... But I hope all the other interns will be back! I love those guys.. Except Daisy. No more Daisy.
So everyone's happy, because and Brennan dyes her hair back (a.k.a removes the wig that was in the SAME DAMN POSITION all episode!) and she and Booth are all happy and start making out in the laundry room... When his phone rings. And you know it's serious when he turns the washer off so he can hear better!
AWWW SHIIIT he found a way to get out of this arrest too?! He rewrote his entire personal history to say he was some sort of Egyptian lord - I didn't catch the name, but I'm sure I would be unable to spell it anyway... So he's being take to Egypt. Fine, you bastard, go kill people over there. Not the FBI's problem anymore! Then he walks up to Brennan and hands her a flower - mockingly, as per usual - and she smacks him across the face! Hahahahah that was epic I actually cheered :P I'm sure my roomie thinks I'm nuts...
Then she tells Booth that the flower he handed her was a marigold, which symbolises pain and sadness (I actually knew that! Which depressed me, because I used to love marigolds when I was little...) Booth throws the flower in the trash and they get the heck outta there... But then Agent Flynn walks over to the can and picks up the flower and looks at it, then up above the camera in a creepy manner that makes me very suspicious of him!! And that's the end! WHAT IS GOING ON WITH FLYNN?! Damn cliffhangers..
I am so happy to see the dream team (seriously, they need a couple name) back together - it was a good episode plot-wise but there weren't as many epic jokes as usual, probably because of all the intensity and seriousness... But still. I give it 8 terrible blond wigs out of 10 :)
What was your opinion of the premiere? Do you disagree with my opinion of Clark? Do you want the creepy digital serial killer to return in future episodes? And what the hell do you think was with the creepy bit with Flynn at the end?? Leave a comment! See you next week! :)

SNL - Seth MacFarlane/Frank Ocean

IT'S BACK!
I have loved this show for so long lol, I've even watched the older episodes, and I'm excited for the new season - especially since I'm now off at university and can stay up as late as I want on a Saturday night to watch it :P
To be honest, I'm not really looking forward to this season as much as I have in the past, so many ppl (INCLUDING MY BELOVED ANDY SAMBERG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) left after last season :/ But Seth McFarlane is hosting and I find him entertaining.. And Seth Meyers and Bill Heder are still on the show :3 So I'll keep watching for their sake haha.. And who knows, the new people may be pretty good, I really like a lot of the people they introduced last year! Taran Killam and Vanessa Bayer and Jay Pharoah and Paul whatshisname :P
I don't get this - Fred Armissen passed off his recurring role as Obama to Pharoah - I'm not complaining, Pharoah does the awkward pauses PERFECTLY - but it seems like Armissen has been demoted or something, has he overstayed his welcome? Yesh. It was a good opener - they made fun of how Romney was unrelatable to the 'average American'.
OH MY GOD I just realised - I had heard that Jason Sudeikis was leaving the show, which is part of the reason I was upset about this season, but he's STILL THERE!! And I also realised that Paul Whatshisname is gone too, after only one season... Damn, I liked him. Too bad, but it's hardly the first time a talented 'featured player' has been cut - Jenny Slate (Doorbells 'n' more!) and Casey Wilson come to mind :/ I'm just glad they kept Pharaoh, his voices are so diverse and his impressions are SPOT-ON!
I. Love. Seth. McFarlane. I know he's kind of crude sometimes, but his voices make me laugh so hard (Maybe he's Jay's impression coach!) and he's so damn cute! And damn, he can sing... About how he always is arguing with himself in various Family Guy voices XD Quite a wonderful monologue for the season premiere! :P
Next is a commercial break... And then one of those awkward sketches where they have a sexpert show and the doctor is missing and Armisen steps in and embarasses all the guests... One of those jokes that wasn't really funnny the first time and they JUST. KEPT. DOING. IT.
And a fauxmercial for the American tour of 'Clint Eastwood and Chair' hahaha I knew they'd reference that at some point! 'He also talks to other politicians, including Mayor Bloomberg!' 'Just let people eat soda!' BAHAHAHA!!
Ok I don't know how old Seth MacFarlane is, but he's gotta be pushing 40 - and yet he still passes for 20something and looks so young, especially in the next sketch where he's working with Keenan and Jason at a Lidz store and whenever something bad happens, he pushes a magical button and Bobby Moynahan comes out and dances to the Gangnam Style song XD AND THEN THE REAL GUY CAME OUT AND DANCED HAHAHAHA And there were horses.. I'm not sure why, but I rolled with it
After the next commercial break, there's a sketch where Seth Macfarlane (in a flaming pink shirt, I might add..) is teaching a  class about puppetry teaching Vanessa and Keenan and Bill (who is channeling his inner Will Arnett in the voice department, and his inner Lt. Dan Taylor in the creepy war veteran department) how to use puppets, and things are going slightly... weird... Lol it wasn't a bad sketch but not one of my faves (mostly because of the creep factor..)
OK who the hell is this Frank Ocean kid? Seth sounds about as uncomfortable saying his name as the audience is enthusiastic to see him... Apparently he sings very high and dresses very weird and is cute and makes awkward constipation faces while sitting on a stool. Well, he's no Bruno Mars... But at least he's no Sleigh Bells, either ;)
Also, I found out that Seth is 39 (well, not quite, he was born in October 1973 so he's still 38) but DAMN that guy either has really good genes or a good Botox addiction.
WEEKEND UPDATE TIME!!!!!!!
Hi Seth you adorable bastard! So glad he hasn't quit yet, I love him!!
About Chris Brown's neck tattoo of a battered woman - 'You know you've made a horrible mistake when getting a neck tattoo is the second-most terrible thing about your neck tattoo!'
And then he brought in Honey Boo-Boo and Mama (from the awks reality show Here Comes Honey-Boo-Boo) - which is weird timing because I just caught a few episodes this past week, and it is the WEIRDEST thing I've ever seen O.O and yes, 'Even though, you all speak English, the majority of your show is subtitled' haha
They brought out Seth MacFarlane as Ryan Lochte to talk about the fall TV schedule - and I'm using the word 'talk' loosely haha he sounds like he's drunk, or high, or both, or a child... Which is odd, because I saw a lot of him when watching the Olympics and he doesn't really talk like that lol... Then he gets asked about the new season of American Dad and sobers/grows up long enough to say 'Yea I heard it's great' and have other Seth throw a juice box at him lol
'A farmer in Iowa has begun powering his farm with leftover walnut shells. If you're wondering which farm that is, it's the one with no power.' I don't understand how Seth says funny things with such a straight face! And the raised eyebrows lol he's so cute!
One of the new girls comes on and pretends to be Latino talking about why it's important to vote.. Even if she can't, because she's 17 haha.
The next sketch is about some army guy (MacFarlane) who has a stutter and keeps yelling at a bunch of privates and asking if he has a stutter or not - initually he didn't but then he started to... The concept was pretty funny, but I have to admit I hate stuff related to the army, the idea of people screaming at each other and ordering each other around and standing all stiffly - it's unnatural... I also missed the tail end of the sketch because I burned some toast in my toaster oven and it set off the smoke detector, so I spent a couple minutes waving my Computer Science textbook at it -.-
There's a sketch where this talk show host 'makes over' a normal-looking guy (Seth) to look EXACTLY like the host (Keenan) lol and they listened to an 'Earth, Wind & Fire cover band called Dirt, Air, and Heat' LAWL I do appreciate a good pun :P
OH my God Seth with long hair is even more adorable - if only he had a British accent then he'd be even better! He and Nasim are on a date and they're both doing so many voices imitating themselves and other people... And random strangers are also doing the voices, except for waiter Keenan, who thinks they're weird haha AND THEN at the very end Seth did a Quagmire voice and she says 'oh come on, don't do Family Guy, we're 30!' And I was like 'UHM, NO, HE'S 38!! He's lying to you!!! Run, adorable little Iranian girl!!!' (Yes I did just IMDb her ethnicity..)
Uh-oh, Ocean boy is back, and standing this time... Haha that was kind of awkward cos Seth introduced him and turned around to face the stage but was clearly standing right where the camera was supposed to roll to haha so he turned around and looked kinda panicky then stepped sideways really fast lol... Ok Ocean apparently got off the stool to prove he was serious, now he's got more of a Drake vibe going, no more high-pitched crooning, but he still has the same constipation face on. And he smiled! When he was done singing! So I guess he's like David Archuleta then, one face while performing, very expressive and cute once the song ends.
Now we're making fun of Amish people apparently... spelling out www.woodenspoonwarehouse.com using weird character names lol
OHMYGOD I knew that was John Mayer!!! During Ocean-Boy's second song, there was this epic guitar solo and they showed the guitarist (who, I should mention, was also making constipation faces) and I thought 'Gee, that looks a lot like Jon Mayer! Nah, that's just my celebrity-crazed brain talking' lol  (actually, at first, when they showed him in profile, I thought he looked a lot like a brunette Chord Overstreet, a.k.a.Sam from Glee) but I was right!! Damn, I'm good ;P
And at the closing of the episode, Seth thanked the writers, what a guy... You know, during the Writer's Strike of '07-'08, Family Guy aired a few episodes sans Brian, Peter, Stewie, Quagmire.. Basically anyone interesting.. because Seth went on strike in solidarity with his cowriters. He can be lewd sometimes, but you gotta love him :)
I'd give this episode 7 Family Guy MacFarlane voices out of 10 because there were too many new ppl I didn't recognize, but the monologue was epic and it was a rare treat to see Seth MacFarlane's adorable face on camera so frequently within an hour and a half of TV. (But he's no Jimmy Fallon!!! Who, as an FYI, just won an Emmy today for the episode of SNL he hosted last year!! Let's have him back this year please!!)
And Joseph Gordon-Levitt is hosting next weekend. I am SO tuning in, I love that man!

Glee - 'The New Rachel'

OMG within 10 seconds and we have a guest star!! Kate Hudson!! Calling Rachel 'Miss David Schwimmer' and telling her her stuck-up attitude is pissing her off hehehe WIN!! But she is a bitch, shocking that Hudson can pull that off...
I also loved Artie's line, in response to 'is it true you were seen sitting with Cheerios?' - 'Well, I am usually seen sitting' hahaha
Rachel has a co-ed washroom?! Ew... But I'm not complaining about the new guy...
Kurt's visiting WMHS and Rachel told him she was being 'worshipped' by her dance teacher - puhLEASE! And we've met Sue's new baby, Robin - named after 'my favourite dead BeeGee' Damn this episode is good...
And now Wade/Unique has joined their glee club and is competing with the rest of them (Tina, Britney and OHMYGOD I FORGOT BLAINE'S NAME FOR A SECOND! I was thinking 'Darren' holy crap.. Fangirl disappointment over here!) They sang 'Call Me Maybe' and I was not loving it, I don't think Artie was either... I miss the old days where they were a capella and everyone made the background music, rather than all just singing at once? And let's be honest, none of them (Except for Blaine when he really belts it) has a particularily strong voice... They're no Rachel!
Oh wow Kurt works at the coffee place, that's hilarious since he spends so much time there anyway haha.. Damn I hate that new girl Kitty already, she treated Kurt terribly lol
Soooo it turns out bitchy-Kate-Hudson-lady is actually really nice to her one student who made the chorus for Wicked, and then she begins drinking.. I'm guessing she's so mean because she can't make anything of herself anymore and has to watch younger talented people become so successful.. Typical TV/Movie plotline.. But until she breaks down and gets all emotional (they always do!), I will enjoy every last zinger she throws at Rachel hehe
Ok Tina was totally a bitch to the new girl Marley (Marlee?) when did she become like that? Obviously she's letting the popularity go to her haed... And OMG the football guys were making fun of how fat the new lunch lady is - and Artie joined in, and it turns out the lunch lady's Marley/ee's mom! Omg that's so sad :( And they're poor... Oh my god I'm tearing up already..
IT'S AUDITION TIME!!!
The first guy raps and Britney loves it, the second girl dances (thrashes?) to some dubstep and Blaine says 'Are there even words to this song?' hahaha... The third guy Jake is SO GORGEOUS and OMG HE'S SINGING A SONG BY THE FRAY!! It's incredible! But Mr. Schue cut him off- ok I am not down with that, you don't interrupt someone at the climax of a song! And Jake clearly has an anger/attitude problem...
Ok that Round Room at NYADA is so epic, if I was rich and... rich.. I would want one of those in my mansion!!! I would just sit in there and sing my heart out! It's so cool! I can't believe that one girl just got KICKED OUT for boming that, she could just be having an off day.. But seriously, 'Ave Maria' is not a good choice for her, she sounded weak, and it's just not a fun song!
RACHEL AND THE NEW GIRL ARE BOTH SINGING 'NEW YORK STATE OF MIND' BY BILLY JOEL!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! Weird coincidence, it was also stuck in my head the other day lol! Bitch please it was not 'popularised' by Barbara Striesand, the Joel doesn't let anyone take his stuff! Except his classical music.. But that's a peice of pop culture I will save for another time!
OK Just Jake is displaying more angst.. I don't get it, Schue left him out becasue of his angst, but Puck was in the club for years, even after being in juvvie, how is that not as bad? But I just realised, they kind of look alike too... Coincidence, or strategic casting? You decide.
Speaking of look-a-likes, Marlee/ey looks a bit like a brunette Blake Lively... And her mom is not doing the right thing, telling her to 'not blow her chance to sit at the popular table' ?! Not good motherly advice! It's really sad that she had no change schools because she had no friends becose of her mother - And I don't get it, couldn't they just work at/attend different schools?? That would be way easier than all this sneaking around.
Thumbs up for yet another lunch-patio flash mob haha - Blaine and Kurt are so freaking adorable!
Ok nevermind, she just dropped the mom-bomb... And Kitty was a bitch yet again, shocking.. Sugar lookd shocked and a little guilty, which is good!
This is interesting - I type just as Bitch-Kate said 'this is boring' hahaha - They're drawing a paralell from Finn's being in the army (which we haven't seen yet) to Rachel's dance classes - it's like artsy boot camp. Which is the plot of every arts-school moivie ever made, I might add.
I don't get this, why is Congressman Hummel back to dressing like a fisherman/lumberjack??? I kind of liked him in the suits, sans plaid and baseball cap. And awww he started crying after dropping Kurt off at the airport, that's so sad... I thought last season finale was the end of the 'endings' that would make me want to cry?? No more of this!
AWWW Sam and Marlee/ey (I'm gonna keep doing that until I see her name written down somewhere) are bonding over being poor, he's so damn cute I love him. Bitch Kitty being a bitch, slushies etc being thrown.. That one football player guy used to be on Disney Channel.. Weird.
JAKE IS PUCK'S BROTHER!!!!!! Well, half-brother, but OHMYGOD HENCE THE SIMILARITIES!!  I also knew that Schue loved his song, I mean, who wouldn't, but I still didnt like the rude-ish interruption... 'Chasing Pavements' is an awesome song, I love Marlee/ey's voice so much better than little-miss-over-pronounciation Rachel!!
AND KURT CALLED RACHEL AND WAS STANDING RIGHT BEHIND HER OH MY GOD THAT'S SO ADORABLE I LOVE IT AWWW I wish my friends would do that here :/
But c'mon, how did he know EXACTLY where she was standing?! Bullshit up in there..
Oh well, this episode was incredible, I give it 9 slushies out of 10 just because I am so happy for the beginning of premiere season!!!!!!!! I'm also wearing my Glee shirt haha fangirl pride! Welcome back!

Fall 2012!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm back, baby!!!!!

In the immortal words of Abed in the season-2 premiere of Community (a man I swear is based on my real life best friend Casey): 'Aaaaand we're back!'

Hello my darling blog readers!!
I'm very sorry I didn't finish off the 2011-2012 season properly, I just realised my last blog posting was in May about the cancellation of CSI:Miami (still greiving over that one, by the way), and before that I had last posted about How I Met Your Mother in mid-April... Wow, I'm not so good with the whole consistency thing, am I?
Well over the summer, a lot has happened (I will most likely post on my other blog about it, you can read it and my other posts here: www.whatithinkaboutanythingandeverything.blogspot.com :P ) I did some renovations at my house, and moved myself off to university! So anyways, this year I will probably be too busy to have lengthy, frequent, postings on here, but I will do my best, I promise! TV keeps me sane :) Although I think one of the reasons I stopped blogging was that I was becoming kind of stressed out from this commitment I had made - like I had been giving myself homework, almost - so I did what I always do, I avoided it. At one point, that (and my serious dislike of finales) caused me to not even WATCH any TV for a few weeks - that's when you know something's up with me!
But I'm back, I'm caught up on all the episodes I missed from the past season, and I'm ready to roll!
This year, I'm going to try something a little different, and live-blog while things are on - this should be made way easier now since I have a laptop - and if I miss an episode, I'm not going to worry about catching up in order (obviously the chronoligocal order for the show) but not in terms of Monday's shows being caught up before Tuesday's, etc.
I should also have a bit of an advantage because so many of my regular shows got cancelled (NOT that this is in any way a good thing, but the elimination of House, CSI:Miami, Chuck, and The Finder will certainly open up my TV schedule) so I have more time to watch things, catch up (and oh yea, do homework :P ).
Stuff also got moved around a bit, so I have less conflict with timings of shows!
Here's what shows are looking like so far, so barring any brand-new shows I fall in love with (the new Mathew Perry show Go On is looking promising!):
Monday: How I Met Your Mother (Starting Sept 24th), Bones (Starting Sept. 17th)
Tuesday: NCIS: LA (Starts Sept. 25th)
Wednesday: CSI (Beginning Sept 26th) and maybe Criminal Minds once I catch up to the last 2-3 seasons lol...
Thursday: Glee (which started today, that one'll be posted rightaway), Big Bang Theory (begins Sept 27th)
Friday: nothing... I'll do my homework Fridays lol.. OR maybe have a social life for once!
Saturday: Saturday Night Live (premieres Sept 14th)

This blog, though stressful at times, has been a whole ton of fun for me, and I hope it's been fun for you too - I haven't been on this webpage in a while and I realised when I logged in today that I have surpassed 1100 hits! I believe it's at about 1170 right now, actually! I'm so thrilled! So I just want to thank you all for reading, and hopefully you'll continue to follow me this season :)
Happy Viewing!

Saying Goodbye is Hard

It's official. My world has ground to a screeching halt today with this news - CBS has cancelled CSI: Miami after ten seasons. This, coupled with the cancellation of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition after nearly ten years and the cancellation of the incredible upstart The Finder after only one season, as well as the conclusions of House and Chuck, make this the worst year ever for me, TV-wise.
Miami was the show that made me become addicted to the CSI franchise. As I channel-flipped one day in eighth grade when I was home sick from school, I recognized actor Rex Linn who had played a minor role in one of my favourite movies, Cheaper by the Dozen. I continued watching that episode and when Jonathan Togo showed up, I became more interested - the guy is so cute! I watched the whole thing and was immediately hooked. This was back before I understood what 'seasons' and 'primetime TV' were - I would just watch what was on. So, I began watching 2 rerun episodes on A&E every night, and when I had seen most of the episodes (they were on Season 4 at that time) I began watching the show every week as it aired. It was on at 10 o'clock Sunday nights (well past my bedtime) so I would record it on our VCR and watch it when I got home the next day.
Eventually I had seen all the older episodes, and it was driving me nuts that I would have to wait a whole week to see a new one, so I began watching the original Las Vegas version. (This series, by the way, is still continuing - soon beginning its 13th season, and is going strong due to the new additions of Elisabeth Shue and Ted Danson.) But I would always proclaim Miami as my favourite, and even though I'm not entirely sure why (I mean, they don't have Greg!), it may just be because I watched it first, and in that sense, it was 'the original' for me. I've never really caught on to CSI: NY - I've caught a few episodes now and then, and of course, there are the crossover episodes - but maybe I'll start watching that one now. It got renewed again, despite the fact that Miami was two seasons older and therefore more well-established. Miami had a more favourable timeslot, too - NY was on on Fridays for two seasons now, isn't that supposed to be the 'kiss of death'?
Anyways, this news has hit me hard. Melodramatic person that I am, I may wear a black armband in mourning for a while. I find it only fitting that, when I found out, I was wearing the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (Las Vegas) shirt that my dad brought me back from a business trip to Las Vegas last week. As with most of my favourite TV shows, I will refuse to watch the final episode. I was not going to watch it until I knew the show's fate - as this is a show known for its cliffhanger season finales - and now I never will. I have not seen the final episode of Chuck, or Pushing Daisies, and I saw the Friends one once, by accident (I cried so hard) and now that I own the series on DVD I do not plan to watch it. Same with That 70s Show. The only series finale I have ever liked was that of the Canadian comedy Corner Gas, because it tied things up nicely and told the viewers what happened afterward to all the characters - an epilogue, of sorts. I've always thought that long-running shows should be given a season (or even half of one) to tie up loose ends and give viewers a sense of closure. This is what Chuck, Friends, That 70s Show and House all did (or are doing now), but since CSI: Miami was cancelled after the end of a season, it will never get that chance.
I hope my generation can look back on this show with fondness and actually remember it, as opposed to the shows that were huge hits initially then slowly fizzled out until they eventually disappeared from the public eye altogether. In the name of Horatio Caine - the 60-something-year-old redhaired man who single-handedly stopped terrorist bombings, rescued kidnapped children, pretended to die in the name of solving a case, and changed the way the world will look at sunglasses forever - they deserved to go out with a bang.
YEEEAAAAAAAaaaaaa.....
