Nice To Meet You, Best Friends.

GLEE. I - GLEE.


They sang Rebecca Black's 'Friday' on Glee.

Oh, my God, I squawked with laughter. I cried with laughter. They sang Friday on Glee.

Also Blaine and Kurt are really cute, and I really want Karofsky and Kurt to become friends, and I want the same of Rachel and Quinn, and I love the Rachel-Mercedes friendship. But the important thing is that they sang Friday on Glee.

Friday.

FRIDAY.

(I didn't notice this at first, because I was laughing too hard, but on rewatching I see that Puck mouths a mock-astonished 'what?' when Sam sings 'Tomorrow is Saturday, and Sunday comes afterwards.' Love it!)

How can there only be two episodes left of this series? How did that happen? I enjoyed the first series of Glee, but I've really fallen in love with it over the second.

My other favourite ridiculous school drama, Waterloo Road, absolutely astonished me yesterday by handling a serious, frequently-misunderstood topic halfway sensitively (episode 7.02; make note of it, for it may never happen again). My sensitivity standards for Waterloo Road aren't set terribly high, of course; even using the word 'transgender' was more than I would have expected. Bless Martin. Also, Sambuca, you are breaking my heart.

reipan's housemate has a copy of Pokémon White, so I experimentally played through the opening last night. Thoughts: Lillipup is adorable and I want one (look at the way it hops around during battle!); I'm intrigued by Team Plasma's cause (there's an issue I never thought would be seriously addressed in the Pokémon games); the male character is a tomboyish girl in my head, and I'm a bit disconcerted by the way he shoves his arse in the camera when he sends out a Pokémon. Tepig's adorable smile very nearly tempted me, but in the end I started with a Snivy and named it Draco, because never has a Pokémon had an expression more suited to Draco Malfoy.

Also, 'I'm going to introduce you to your two best friends' is possibly the greatest line ever uttered in a Pokémon game. THANKS, PROFESSOR JUNIPER.

Sorely, sorely tempted to buy a copy.
