As I Understand it...

So silly me forgot to blog about last Tuesday's episode of Glee... :/ So I am going to remedy that problem right now.

I probably forgot because it was not my complete ultimate favorite. Sue Sylvester is crazy as ever of course, but this time she got to meet Olivia Newton John [my mother's personal favorite] and remake the music video for Physical.

The plot for this episode included the kids of New Directions researching their newest song assignment. Mr. Schue assigned them to find an older song with a bad reputations [preferably circa 70s-90s] and remake it to give it some pizazz.

Songs from the past episode "Bad Reputation":
1. Physical x2 -- first by just ONJ then ONJ and Sue Sylvester collaboration
2. Ice Ice Baby -- Mr. Schue with some background vox from New Directions
3. U Can't Touch This -- Kurt, Mercedes, Arty, Tina, and Brittany
4. Run Joey Run -- Rachel Berry, Puck, Finn, and Jesse
5. Total Eclipse of the Heart -- Rachel, Puck, Finn, Jesse, and New Directions

In this episode there was a "hot or not" type of list published for everyone to see for the Glee club-- with Rachel at the bottom and Quinn at the very top. At the same time, Sue Sylvester's video of her dancing at home to Olivia Newton John's "Physical" was leaked on to YouTube by Kurt, Mercedes, Arty, Tina, and Brittany. Sue nearly blew her top from [SHOCKER!] EMBARRASSMENT! yes, you heard it here -- SUE was embarrassed.

There was also a new character thrown into the faculty position!!!!! I can't remember her character name, but it looks like she's about to give Sue a run for her money as the ultimate BA feminist of the school. Anyway, the character is played by actress Molly Shannon, who if you know ANYTHING about her..she's hilarious. Here's her IMDB Biography if any of you are interested.

Rachel, determined to move up on the list, decided to do her project on the song Run Joey Run, originally performed by David Geddes. She made a music video and tricked the three guys who she's had a thing with into acting/singing with her. She manipulated the video into making it seem like all three guys were chasing after her, and boyfriend Jesse was quiiite the angry fellow :/ We'll see how this one pans out in the upcoming episodes.


Okay well I feel like I have given an incredibly thorough explanation of basically everything that happened in this episode. Tying all of this back to the mother ship, aka good ol RHS, the real world is not run by physical "hot or not lists," but instead by the "hot or not" lists we come up with ourselves. How many times have you walked down the senior hallway and seen, say, 10 people you may or may not know well and automatically labeled them? *This is the time when every person reading this blog must raise their hands.* Yeah, I know you all do. Because I do too. It's not even on purpose...it's just that in high school, word travels and forces people to make assumptions based on fabricated stories. No one except the actual person can claim whether or not these stories are true, and yet we still spread them around for entertainment. Am I proud to say that I do this? Heck no...but I am human and I can 100% guarantee I will make mistakes and bad judgments in my life. So you may not like the way I roll, but I'm going to keep on rolling with it :]

That's all for now.
Thanks for tuning in :]
And don't forget the new episode tomorrow!!!! Rachel loses her voice :O

Ho Hum..Monday...

''You think this was hard? Try auditioning for Baywatch and being told they're going in another direction. That was hard.'' -- Sue Sylvester

Good morning, world. How was everyone's weekends? I was feeling a Sue quote to start out my lovely Monday. I'm so tired of Mondays...well Mondays that involve getting up early and going to school. Atleast there are only 14 more school days and then finals. Oh, and don't forget the lovely AP testing we have going on this week...I'm just ecstatic for Friday. :P

Okay, looking past my ranting, today has been a pretty good day so far. We have these crazy schedules this week that involve even numbered class periods for an hour and a half today...which means I'm currently in Mr. Stratton's class with not much to do besides study for APUSH and blog because we don't have any dye for our projects. Oh well...guess I just get to write :]

I was on one of my favorite website ever [Google of course] and I was searching for Glee related things to wittily incorporate into my blog. I found some songs that will be performed later on in this season and I am extremely excited. Here's a little rundown of what's to come...

[+] Olivia Newton John --> needless to say, my mother is ecstatic about this one. She came into my room last week in the Wednesday morning before school and was very excited to inform me that one of her favorite singers was going to be on Glee :]

[+] Lady Gaga --> Bad Romance and Poker Face -- hecks to the yeah! Hopefully they have crazy costumes as well...

[+] Ice Ice Baby and U Can't Touch This --> blast from the past :]

[+] a medley of Journey songs --> I applaud Journey for being one of the first bands to allow Glee to take on their songs... and now a medley?! Oh geez..brings me back to that summer night before school started this year at the Journey concert with Rachael Rode and Kristen Thomas :]

[+] last but CERTAINLY not least...the rumor going around is BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY will be featured in a later episode of Glee. Pause for a moment and take that in.

Happy? I thought you might be. :D

And I also ran across this Personality Quiz.

Feel free to take and and comment on which Glee character it says you are! :]

Here's my results...


Yay Mr. Schue! :] Until next time...
