The much simpler times of Glee
I love Glee. I am a huge fan — but why am I excited that this season is over? Why am I looking forward to having this Glee-free summer?
I could say that it’s “too much a good thing,” but that’s not it. I am suffering from early symptoms of Ugly [...]

I had an interview with Harry Shum Jr. from Glee. I wrote it up for 8Asians.com. Wanna read it? Well here it is…(at least some of it)
Before Harry Shum Jr. was poppin’ and lockin’ on the pop culture phenomenon known as Glee, he was — well — dancing. Before his stint as Mike Chang on [...]

For those of you who are not patient enough for the full “Power of Madonna” episode to available on Hulu, Fox and iTunes (like myself), Caro (one of my dozens of readers) shared this link with us.

It was great to see everyone back in the rehearsal hall at McKinley High: Rachel, Mercedes, Kurt, Tina, Puck, Finn, Quinn, Brittany, Mike, Santana, Artie, Matt, Emma, Mr. Schuester, Principal Figgins and, of course, the tongue lashing Sue.
But why wasn’t I jumping out of my seat and singing along?

The time is upon is – the season premiere of Glee is less than 24 hours away and I thought I could fit one more blog post on to the finer dandy.

Even so, I refuse to call myself a “Gleek“. Yes, I am a fan. Yes, I adore the [...]

You would think that I would be constantly blogging about Glee considering the season premiere is on Tuesday (it runs into Lost – thank the heavens for DVR) – but I think there is enough coverage on the phenomenon.

A couple of days ago, Mr. Shuester made a huge announcement – they are having a nationwide casting call for Glee:

Why is the cap at 26? This is a classic case of ageism.

Yes, I have made it official. I am trying to start a Glee club in San Francisco for a three-part story I am working on for The Bold Italic – and I have put up an ad on Craigslist:

I started live blogging about the Golden Globes and then I got lazy.
That said, here is a complete list of the winners (thanks Comingsoon.net) and, of course, my two cents about who won.
