It's fun enough. A bunch of dorky misfits coupled with the stereotypical cheerleader, jock and motivated teacher make up a great singing and dancing ensemble in this series which focuses around a high school's glee club. Nothing really unexpected happens, but it's soundtrack is great and love watching people sing and dance!
The couple first episodes were annoying. People leaving then coming back to the club which in the meantime is tested by being canceled and then re-opened. Okaaaay. Then we learn about the characters who hate each other for the most part, but we all know that they're going to come and like each other and become bestest of friends. Cliche much?
Anyhoo. I looooove the guest stars though! Up 'till now it's been Josh Groban and Kristin Chenoweth! two of my favorites! Can't wait to see who they're going to bring on next!
It's a refreshing change from my other shows, even if it is packed with worn out ideas and uninteresting plot-lines. It's all about having fun and singing that counts!

I know it's in the UK but as soon as I saw it I thought "OMG! Lemon would love this!". Which is a pretty pathetic thought, seeing as Lemon is fictional...Hmmmm. I think I just hit a new low. Anyhoo. Tickets are sold at the O2 for London performances and seetickets.com has tickets for performances around England. If anyone goes, be sure to let us know how it was!

Looks pretty amazing! Come to think of it, it could also feature a rendition of a new song called "I Am A Jedi!" by Tracy Jordan! LOOOOOL!

Which language(s) do you currently speak? If you could learn only one other language, what would you choose, and why? Submitted By |
I am bilingual sooo I speak Greek and English equally well (which is adequate, hehe!) and a bit of French. I took French for like six years during elementary and High School but sadly remember only the basics. And I struggle with those too!
I'd love to better my French at some point and try some Italian or Spanish! I'm talking about them like they're food, not languages! Japanese would be interesting too, though I would imagine quite hard. I don't have the energy for anything hard at the moment so I'll stick to the aforementioned languages! Actually I was recently thinking about starting French lessons again and maybe get a Delf or too! We'll see. Time permitted!

Lookie what I found during my picture search! It's Alec Baldwin attending the opening night of 'Race'! Not surprising really. He admittedly is a Mamet fan and even played in 'Glengarry Glen Ross'. I have now words for his performance in that. Oscar worthy is not enough. He was superb! He oozed of malice and asshole-ness!
( Alec At 'Race' )
Anyway. He looks adorable in his burgundy scarf!

The cast was exceptional as well. It seems that all huge Broadway names rush at Mamet's beckoning. In 2007 he had Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf in 'November'. Now he has James Spader, Kerry Washington, David Alan Grier and Richard Thomas in 'Race'. Pretty good, no? Last year he had 'Speed-The-Plow' which didn't get much recognition. But 'Race' seems like it'll make up for it!
( There Are No Facts Of The Case. Just Two Fictions. )
Mamet is one of those playwrights that you're either going to love, or hate. He's misogynistic, brazen and even vulgar. Personally, I love him. His work always pushes the boundaries of what is socially acceptable and I tip my hat to him for doing it. Sure people get offended. But then again people get offended if you wish them "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays". Quick! Someone call the FCC!! His work is ingenious. I really cannot wait to watch/read 'Race'. I love 'Glengarry Glen Ross' and can't stop reading 'November'! He and Tom Stoppard are my favorite contemporary playwrights and I always get excited when they write something new!

...ANDY SCHLAFLY!!! Holy shit! I was watching last night's episode of 'The Colbert Report' - which shockingly was mediocre - and I seriously peed my pants as soon as he came on!
The guy was on the Report to talk about and promote 'Conservapedia'. An encyclopedia with articles written for Conservatives...*shakes head* What is the world coming to... Thank God I didn't hear much about it because I was too busy giggling at his utterly ridiculous voice! He really should consider a career as a Muppet! He'd be perfect! Jim Henson would eat his dust! I'm glad the Conservatives have him on their side! With him in charge, having that voice, NO ONE will ever take them seriously! Not that anyone ever did take them seriously...Bunch of whiners...
Again, if you're outside the US you can't view the video of him on 'The Colbert Report' so I'll post a random video of him from YouTube!
P.S. If you do manage to stop laughing and hear what he has to say, you'll see that he's a moron. He apparently lives in a different world than we do...Some screws are loose...

Apparently scientists found some sort of parasitic fish that eats the tongue of the host and then becomes the hosts tongue himself, thus eating anything that enters it's hosts mouth! WHAT THE FUCK??? It seriously sounds like something that came out of a sci-fi movie but you can actually find it off the coast of Jersey! O_O That is messed up y'all...
You may not be able to watch the video if you're outside the US (because Viacom sucks) but I'm adding a picture. There really isn't much else to say. Freaky. Click the link at your own peril!

The charity event on Friday was great. The place was packed and the champagne was flowing. All the money gathered from this event were going to cancer kids (is that a politically correct term?!). Huge animal balloons were handed out to the guests which set a certain tone to the night. The music was great and so was the venue. I bumped into a lot of friends and acquaintances and we overall had a great time. Around 3 people started leaving so me and my friends continued to another club. Pretty cool.
On Saturday I was too bored to go out with my sister. So I stayed home and I had a super awesome marathon of 'Q.I.'! Man, I love that show! I started watching it in London when I lived there, but because I always turned on the TV half way through, I could never understand what they were talking about! I watched most episodes of series E, laughing my ass off all the way through! There really is nothing better than a show that is genuinely funny and at the same time teaches you things you didn't know! And I LOVE
( QI Series E, episode 2 'Electricity' Part 1 )
Sunday was calm, with drinks at night at a bar near my house. All is well with the world.
Today I went and bought tickets for an event at the Megaron in Athens (kinda like the Royal Albert Hall of Athens) next week. It's Jeremy Irons reading Dickens 'Christmas Carol' accompanied with classical music! Yayyyy! I'm really excited about this! I swoon over Jeremy Irons and his uber!smexy raspy voice and the fact that it's all going to be in a Christmas tone makes this night the perfect Christmas present!

heropower and was posted on the Xmen community! Yay! So much awesomeness! Magneto, Kirk, Spock, Wolverine, things exploding, powerful vehicles/vessels, cool guns/powers... *brain explodes*It starts off a bit shaky but it picks up as it progresses! Worth a watch if you're a sci-fi fan! Maybe next time they can incorporate Dr. Who in there as well! David Tennant's Doctor that is.

She did it yet again. My mum brought another stray home. And I know that this time she's going to want to keep it. I don't mind taking in strays, taking them to the vet and then finding a home for them. Keeping them though, is another matter. After Dana died I explicitly said that I didn't want another dog. I feel like I'm betraying Dana. And besides, why do we need another dog anyway? We have Nefeli. One is enough. But no. My mum says she's used to having two and that's why she wants another one.
We just got back from the vet with this one which must be part poodle, part terrier. It kinda looks like the one we already have but it's white with grayish/black tips on her ears. It looks like something that came out od a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway. Time to bathe it I guess, and make sure my mum doesn't name it...

Last time I went for blood I was visibly freaked and the nurse turned to me and said "Look at the cute doctor! Isn't he fine?!" I felt like I 5 year old you try to distract by waving candy in front of it! Mind you, the doctor was really cute that time! ;)
This afternoon I was just hanging around being extremely careful of my arm and simply starting doodling. I always seem to doodle when I'm bored. Many times I never realize what I'm drawing 'till I'm done! Anyway. I was just drawing a lit sign Broadway style which wrote '30 Rock'. One thing led to the other and before I knew it I started doodling some of the '30 Rock' characters. Take a look and comment!

Every time Ken appears on the show, he and Craig get especially naughty which I find extremelly titillating! I love how excited Craig gets with that product! Meer? Mear? No idea how it's spelled. They are always hilarious together!
Ken is one of my first big big big loves. I discovered him about 10 years ago and the romance has yet to die. I doubt it'll ever will as the man keeps re-inventing himself, gracing us with award winning performances. *sigh*

Then as far as comediennes are concerned there is no doubt that Tina Fey is on the top. I mean come on, who are we kidding. Amy Pohler and Amy Sedaris are also on my list. Who's NOT on my list is Sarah Silverman. I tried watching her show when I lived in London and the only thing that I was left with was a vile taste in my mouth brought on by my constant puking from the crap I'd watched. She may have some momentary lapses were she's actually almost funny but generally, no. Not worth watching and not funny.
That's why I was surprised when I saw this. It was posted on the Colboard as I lizzed so hard as soon as I watched it I just HAD to share! I know it's a year old but it's extremely well made! People involved are: Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford, Robin Williams, Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, Rebecca Romijn, Don Cheadle, Benji Madden, Joel Madden, Dicky Barrett, Christopher Mintz-Plasse aka Mclovin, Lance Bass, Dominic Monaghan, Meatloaf, Pete Wentz, Joan Jett, Huey Lewis, Perry Farrell, Macy Gray and Josh Groban. HILARIOUS!!
