So, Cory Monteith has a solo recording contract? Uh... Also:

And just as Glee is no High School Musical, Cory Monteith is not Zac Efron, his HSM equivalent as the jock who discovers he's just gotta sing.

You're totally right, he's not Zac Efron. Zac Efron can SING, for starters. Although I really did like Cory's acting performance on Glee this ( Read more... )

1. Swine flu is being blown a tad out of proportion, Y/N? I mean, obviously all the proper preventative precautions should be taken, but the media seems to be whipping this up into hysteria. It reminds me of the SARS thing in Toronto. The press acted like the sky was falling. It wasn't ( Read more... )

I had an awesome weekend. bliss_ came to visit for her birthday, and on a complete whim, mcfeste flew out on a Friday night red eye to surprise her. It was fabulous. We went to see the Saturday and Sunday matinees of Spring Awakening and Amy came to the theatre on Saturday from the airport and shocked the hell out of Bliss. *g ( Read more... )

I caught up on ATWT today at lunch and I have to say I am really enjoying Luke's campus election storyline. (Also loved that the writers had many of the characters mention that they were going out to vote in the presidential election.) After boring the crap out of me for months, Luke and Noah are interesting again! Huzzah!

High School Musical 3 set a huge box office record for musicals this weekend, and I must say I heartily enjoyed it. So much cheesy fun! Zac Efron has grown up v.v. nicely, is a good actor, and he takes his shirt off. (Prompting a little girl in the theatre with an impressive grasp of the obvious to scream, "HE TOOK HIS SHIRT OFF!!!" Hee ( Read more... )

TIFF has not disappointed this year. bliss_ and I saw four excellent movies this weekend and had a blast. Random actor sightings on the street ranged from Oscar-winner Geoffrey Rush to the guy who played Max in "Nightmare" in SPN S1 (he is a teeny tiny man, and was on his phone). We walked by Geoffrey as he jaywalked across a quiet street towards us and ( Read more... )

Since I'm all flush with Summer Glau love from SCC, I'm rewatching Firefly. This time around I'm listening to the commentaries, which are very entertaining thus far. I love Joss and Tim during "The Train Job": "You know what would have helped? Showing the pilot first." "What? That's madness!" Hee. Seriously, FOX really screwed the pooch with this ( Read more... )

I've uploaded some songs that I've been hitting repeat on a lot lately. The songs vary wildly, as I have very eclectic taste in music, as in most things in life.

1. Wham! -- Wham Rap! Please note that both exclamation marks are key. This is a fantastically cheesy ode to the joys of youthful laziness and unemployment.

2. Carl Orff -- Carmina ( Read more... )

You know how sometimes you'll see a movie at the video store, and it stars great actors, but you've never heard of it and usually there's a reason for that? (The reason being that the movie stinks.) Yesterday I came across Nearing Grace, starring my old Everwood jailbait boyfriend, Gregory Smith. Never heard of it and assumed it would be crappy, ( Read more... )
