Family vacation

bon voyage

Dear Readers, I am going on a trip certain to put me into a tailspin of internet withdrawals.  Luckily, my family will be on hand to exploit for blogging material upon my return.  I will be back in a little over a week.  Promise.  Don’t give up on me. <3, Lo

207GLEE_Ep207-Sc4_043_jpg_627x325_crop_upscale_q85

We arrive at McKinley High to find that due to a rampant debilitating flu and lack of any semblance of a reasonable school district administrative system inclusive of things like vice principles, Sue Sylvester has temporarily usurped principal position.  Also, she’s not friends with Will anymore.  Why?  Because she’s bored.

A guide to watching “Glee”

Me:  Oh god.  Aly.  Now I feel like I’ve roped you into a potentially horrifying experience. Aly: Why?  What is it? Me: It’s based on a … Read more

A: I think I may have given him a mixed signal. Me: How so? A: Well, I kissed him on the cheek, but it was close.  You know, like when I kiss you.  Or a Frenchman.

Lo and Mo watch “Glee” (video blog)

lo and mo 1

You guys, “Glee.”  I have yet to write about “Glee” here–with the exception of pointing out its scary-unhealthy portrait of love.  The only reason I haven’t converted this entire website into “Glee” recap central is really only because my attention has been otherwise occupied by partial employment and a considerable amount of “Xena: Warrior Princess” … Read more
