popular-ity of glee!

so i was talking to my friend anita the other day and the show glee came up.  i had to admit that i didn’t watch it because i only briefly heard about it on some sites i visit but i wasn’t really interested.  but anita insisted i check it out and so i did.  i wasn’t all that impressed with the pilot episode…it was good but not great but i still continued to watch it and it wasn’t until the third episode that i finally saw the brilliance of the show.  each show since then seemed to be better and better.  now you might be wondering what happened in that third episode to change my mind.  well…it was mercedes’ rendition of ‘bust your windows’ that made me change my mind.  it was amazing! i tuned out of the acafella thing but mercedes saved that show. then the rest of the episodes just got better…especially the fourth episode…lol…footballers dancing to ‘single ladies’ is brilliant and then the fifth episode with kristin chenoweth as a washed up/alcoholic…and then a great performance of ‘defying gravity.’  i also had another reason why i continued to watch…it was because this show was produced by ryan murphy.  this guy produced one of my all time favourite shows….popular! ok…don’t hate..i liked that show because it was hilarious and mary cherry was in it…if you don’t know what i’m talking about then you should youtube mary cherry and you will know the brilliance of murphy.  i also noticed parallels between both shows…basically the popular/unpopular thing, teen issues, blondes/brunettes…lol. i can’t wait until april! later days!

what is newsworthy??

i like to watch and read news and at the bottom of each article there are usually posted comments by its readers.  i am sometimes repulsed by some of the comments because they are so ignorant.  i really hate it when some readers post whether or not something is actually news.  i mean by definition, news is the communication of information of current events.  so to say something isn’t news is just not true.  then there are some who say that the news item is not relevant.  well, one news item may not be relevant to you, but it may be to someone else. so that is just pure ignorance…lol.  i’m not saying that there aren’t stupid news items but it is still news and we can’t repute that no matter how ‘irrelevant’ it may be to you. i did notice that most of those comments are posted by bigots..and how do i know that? well…they usually post comments like ‘they need to get jobs’ or some other racist slurs.  it is shameful that canada prides itself as a tolerant state but there are still some people out there who are just callow…unaware of the world around them. sad…

cny…yes, it is that time of year again…

so it is time for another lunar new year and that means my dad has come down.  now, i rarely see my dad and i should be happy to see him but it can be so tiring for me.  i usually do what he tells me cause i’m one of those loser sons.  don’t ask me why but i just do whatever he says. there are a few reasons why i am not going to enjoy this holiday season. first, the rest of my co-workers are off from feb. 10-22.  that is almost two weeks of holidays and i thought those would be my days off too. however, that is not the case because my dad called and told me that i only have the red days off and that means i technically only get 2 days off because two of those red days are saturday and sunday. i have to work the rest of the days.  he said i don’t have to stay for the whole day but the fact that i have to go to work is just wrong. thankfully no one calls or most other people take the rest of the week off so i shouldn’t have to do much. oh well…i can catch up on my shows!

secondly, my dad likes to cook (he used to be a chef…god knows how he became a chef cause his cooking is only ok…room for perfection).  that only means one thing…my kitchen is ruined! i have no idea how my dad does it but the kitchen always looks like a battle zone after he is finished with it and it is no different from tonight.  he cooked up a storm and i am left with the job to clean up.  dinner was only subpar too…so it wasn’t worth it! and to add salt to the wound…he smoked after i cleaned and now there are ashes on the floor…i had to mop again…damn him! i find no joy in the holidays anymore…but i will make him stay new years eve…he will pay! i will get back at him…the loser will pay! thank goodness i’m not vindictive! lol…later days!
