As it turned out, my weekend, instead of my planned clean-up and organize days, became TV series marathon day. I’m not sure if I should regret it or not. It was pointless, but I had fun. Maybe it’s not so pointless, after all.
In between chatting with a friend about practice-driving in the U.S. and her need for an auto insurance quote because she’s having troubles adjusting with the speed limits, I was exchanging text messages with another friend about downloading the music from Glee. Up until that time, I’ve only watched the pilot episode and I haven’t formed much of an opinion about it yet, except that I’m glad Lea Michele’s in it because she was great in Spring Awakening. By the time Sunday is over, I have finished watching all eight episodes and I’m thisclose to calling myself a Gleek (Glee geek), save for the fact that I’m not so taken with the storylines although the musical numbers are top notch.
But I’m not too hard to please. Enter the news that Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies, Wicked) is returning for another guest stint, Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse) is directing an episode, and Jonathan Groff (Spring Awakening) is going to have a multiple-episode arc as Lea Michele’s love interest, and I’m declaring myself as an official Gleek. I can’t imagine a better fantasy cross-over than that. Well, actually, I can, but this one’s coming true so bring it!
