My favorite joke this past week was "I would applaud, but it seems that someone's given you the clap."
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

OK, usually when there's a product tie in for a show I'm all cynical and annoyed by the merchandising. Whereas last night's Glee had me desperately rifling through computers at work today until I could find one with a recent enough version of iTunes to buy "Somebody to Love." And then playing it on a loop all afternoon as I worked.
I like the Glee cast version better than Queen's original.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
oooh. heresy.
I liked their version, but I prefer Queen's.

I know! I fully expect Freddie Mercury to rise from the grave this Halloween and bitch-slap me for it. But I've never felt compelled to listen to him sing the song 15 times in a row.

“Not dead yet!”
My favorite version (until last night) was the Mercury tribute with George Michael singing lead. So I guess I'm guilty of heresy too.
Because seriously, that was amazing.
And once again, Matthew Morrison turns into Super Hawt every time he opens his mouth to sing. *fans self*

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I was begging the television to make them do the entire song, Barb. BEGGING.
Poor Joe. I think he felt left out.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I like Community. I wasn't expecting too, because comedies are harder for me to engage in than dramas, but it was fun. I really loved the scene where they're enacting their "conversation" piece. I watched via Hulu.
Matt, I think I'll sit in your corner, although I haven't purchased the song. I missed the beginning of the episode, so I need to go watch that.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I can't say I'm too impressed with The Office so far this season. But maybe they're just taking a couple of episodes to set up the season's dynamic. Like Jim realizing that managing isn't as simple as it looks.
And I'm very much looking forward to next week. Pam and Jim's wedding has all sorts of potential for comic disaster.
I didn't know Dwight could reach new levels of downright evil. But he seems to be.

Finally got around to seeing this week's Glee. Oh, my, was that good!! As much as I loved "Somebody to Love," my heart went to KC's version of "Maybe This Time," which will be my go-to audition piece if I ever audition for a musical again (I used it in hs for the one musical I actually got cast in). She just nailed it and didn't suffer in comparison to Liza.
I hope that they include it and "Alone" on the cast album.

I finally watched "Community" yesterday and liked it a lot. as much as I really love Dead Poet's, it's certainly ripe for parody.
