The Office 6.9 "Murder"

I haven't talked about The Office in a while, which is a shame because it is still just as good as its ever been. There were a few 'meh' episodes at the beginning of the season, but I am loving these more recent episodes. The wedding episode was, of course, beautiful (and I still kind of can't believe I didn't make a post about it), but this last episode, "Murder", I thought was one of the stronger ones of the seasons.

The reason why this show is so good is because it can balance the dramatic with the funny. I'm concerned about Dunder Mifflin and where the bankruptcy is going to lead, but I also spent the entire episode laughing my ass off. Whether it was Dwight fighting with himself, Creed speeding away from the scene of the crime, or Michael getting way too involved in the game, this episode had a lot to laugh about.

Also, I can't be the only one who cried over the Erin/Andy thing, can I? Maybe it's just because I have great, undying love for Andy Bernard, but that whole story is so sweet, and curse them for being too dumb to realize they were both thinking the same thing. Someone said (I believe it was Master Sepinwall) that they are like the goofier Jim/Pam: a salesman falling in love with a receptionist. Awwww.

This show, along with Supernatural, which has been truly great this season, makes Thursday night awesome!

Haven't posted in a while

Today I had a conversation with myself that went something like this:

"Self, you haven't posted to the blog in a while, and that's sad

"You're right self, I haven't. I should rectify that soon. But what to post? Mad Men finale reactions?"

"No. You will only embarrass yourself again. Leave that up to Zozizzle. She owes you an epic Mad Men finale post."

"Ah, good idea, self. Hm...Oh! I know! Let's make a post about Kris Allen! You're good at that!"

"Yes, self! Excellent idea! Kris Allen posts are pretty much the only thing I'm good at nowadays!"

Well, now that we've gotten the fact that I'm a crazy person out of the way, let's get to it! Kris has been doing a ton of radio concerts lately, including one on Sunday in Napa. He played an acoustic set, including this freaking awesome mashup of Heartless and Gangsta's Paradise (yes, you read that right):



If you still don't believe in Kris's talent after that, then I don't even know what to say to you. There may be something wrong with you.

He also did a Falling Slowly/With or Without You mashup that is really beautiful.

And guess what? Myself and The Derelict are going to be seeing Kris in Chicago on December 4th! I'm so excited I might throw up.

Oh, and I'm just going to throw this out there, AOL is streaming Kris's entire album on their site right now. I'm not going to go into what I think of it and all that now, I'll probably do that later, but in case you want to check out his new music, click the link. I'll say this though, I really really love it, and I'm so proud of him.

Sigh...such a fangirl.

Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

"V" premiered yesterday on ABC. I think I like. I'm a sucker for a good sci-fi mystery and this show has set us up some goodies! Aliens! Resistance fighters! Undercover aliens! Human drama! Mystery! Good times.

I found myself digging the characters already and I gasped aloud at multiple times. I wasn't born when the original miniseries premiered so I really had no idea what was going to happen, and I still don't. Those dang aliens are extremely intriguing, and I can't wait to see what the next step of their plan is. I also really like the undercover alien, and want to know more about whatever his deal is.

I'm not proclaiming this show the next Lost or anything, but I found it exciting and intriguing and I'm gonna stick with it for now.

Plus, Elizabeth Mitchell, Alan Tudyk, and Morena Baccarin? Juliet, Wash, and Inarra?! Are you kidding me? I'm in geek heaven here!

Bust out yo cash!

All three of the (real and true) Top 3's new singles are finally all available for download on iTunes! Yeah! Go buy them, if you wanna. I listen to all three songs all the time, and I kind of can't decide which is my favorite. They're all so good! I'm so proud of them all. Hooray Kradison!

Live Like We're Dying - Kris Allen

Friday I'll Be Over U - Allison Iraheta

For Your Entertainment - Adam Lambert

This would never happen, but God, how awesome would a Kradison concert be? I would die.

And to make this post pretty:

:D I love them

Middle aged teachers have their problems too

1.3 Acafellas
When Will feels a lack of confidence in his masculinity he starts an acapella group with some other pretty lame guys from work. Literally the idea is birthed in the break room, when they're celebrating the return of the shop teacher who lost both his thumbs! I swear, this show totally brilliant.

The lack of confidence started at home and then Rachel added to it, questioning his ability to lead the group to sectionals. When his group becomes a hit, sparks increase between him and Emma. And awareness levels rise between his wife and Ken, Emma new boyfriend. With Schuester gone the kids have times to themselves while Rachel becomes preoccupied with finding obtaining a professional choreographer if they're going to get anywhere. And the Cheerios use the opportunity to start some drama. Mercedes is a teengage girl in high school and as a result she feels that she's missing something. A boyfriend. So, when Kurt gives her some attention. The girls convince her that he likes her and she could make it more than friends. She decides to take they advice even though Rachel tells her he plays for the other team. So, while at the carwash, yet another idea from the Cheerios, she confronts him about her feelings for him and he in turn lies and says he's into someone else. So she bust the windows out his car.
While feelings get hurt, Kurt and Mercedes make up and are back to friends and well the choreographer---doesn't work out.

Did they really just do that?

1.2 "Showmance"
So, now that Mr. Schuester is back on board, there still is the issue of not having enough kids in Glee club to compete in sectionals! So everyone is all a twitter about performing in front of the school. While Rachel is concerned about sing an oldie that won't resonate with the audience and Finn is concerned about his image. While Mr. Schuester gets a second job, as the janitor, Rachel circumvents his decision and decides that what the kids in school care about is sex. So, when the school assembly comes together Glee club performs "Push It" by Salt and Peppa. To say the least the performance wasn't all that kosher...


And it turns out to be a big hit with the crowd, but everything has consequences and so with a push from Sue. Prinicpal Figgins decides that the answer is to have a song list with only admirable clean lyrics. Sue decides that this isn't enough and she gets some her Cheerios to join as spies. While Quinn may act like she's there for Sue, she's there to spy on Rachel and Finn.

Adam Lambert's New Single, "For Your Entertainment"

STFU Glamberts! It's totally possible to like both Adam AND Kris. Shocking, I know, but I really do love Adam a lot and am super happy, because I'm really liking his new single!

It's very dance/pop/electronica/techno/Lady Gaga-ish. I can totally imagine myself freak dancing to this in a club (if I was the kind of person who frequented clubs). I admit to originally being a little worried, because the direction Adam was going in isn't really my kind of music, but I really like this, so yay! His album comes out November 23rd! Look at that, I like all of Kradison's singles a lot. Best Top 3 ever! (Gokey who?)



What do you guys think? (and yes, that is really Adam's album cover lol)

Dying. Laughing.

You Got Me

So as a result of true and utter disappointment with seasons 2 and 3 of Heroes--which I never finished--I tossed that show to the wayside. But now they're bringing Charlie back and I may just break. Besides I've been hearing that the writing is pretty impressive this season. So NBC, you may have me in your clutches once again:

Darn Hulu!

Don't worry, this isn't a Kris Allen post

Except for how it totally is. Anyone who wonders, 'hey, why does she always talk about that Kris Allen guy all the time?', watch this. This performance is one of the many reasons why I love this guy:




And if you're interested in hearing 3 new songs he premiered off of his new album at the Dolphins Tailgate thingy this weekend, go here. I'll just say this, I knew I was going to like his album, b/c I'm a crazy fan and I love everything he's ever done, but I really genuinely love these songs and think they're really good. You have no idea how happy this fact makes me. Yay Kris!

Mad Men 3.11 "The Gypsy and the Hobo"

Before I get to anything, can I just say that the last line of the episode coupled with the look on Don's face coupled with the abrupt ending literally made me gasp aloud. I gasped aloud, shouted 'no!', and then started crying. This is what this show devolves me to.

And I'm not going to really go into this episode at all. I'm not going to talk about Joan or Sterling or anything else. I really just need to talk about Don and Betty. Because the scene where Betty finally confronts Don about his past is one of the best scenes this show has ever done. I have always had a love/hate relationship with Don, but Jon Hamm has always been amazing, and I have never felt it more than in this scene. Don is always so in control all time, that to see him so vulnerable, so lost, so....weak, was completely jarring, and Jon Hamm sold the hell out of all of his scenes. The stuff with Don's brother has always been so upsetting to me, and when Don started crying, I was close to bawling. There was so much emotion packed into every scene, I felt like I couldn't breathe.

Will I talk about this episode more later? Perhaps. Right now I had to get down my feelings about certain things, because I still cannot believe how amazing this show is. How is it so good? I thank God I started watching, because it truly is the best show on television.

I WAS A VIRGIN!

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen:

Mad Men 3.10 "The Color Blue"

Because I'm kind of embarrassed that my flaily Kris Allen post is the only one that's been posted on here in a while, have a Mad Men post!

Yeah, not coherent again (read Master Sepinwall instead), so here's a bullet point list:

• Peggy! She. Is. Amazing. I could not stop saying 'You go, girl!' Her being so awesome and amazing though....setting up a departure to Duck's company where her talents will be more appreciated, perhaps? Hmm....

• I missed Pete. I also missed Joan and Sal. Saaaaaaaal!!!! Will we ever see him again?

• How do we feel about Miss Farrell? She seems like a nice lady, but I just hate how close she seems with Don all of a sudden. I feel like her story line with Don is a bit of a retread of all the other times Don's cheated. It's annoying. I am not happy with Don right now.

• Have I ever mentioned that I love Pryce? I could just listen to him talk all day. His accent is fantastic. Also, I just like him. He's a good guy.

• These British guys though! They're going to sell Sterling Cooper? What does that mean? What's going to happen? I'm concerned.

• Paul lol. I love all of the guys who work at SC. Paul, Ken, Harry, they makes this show what it is, and I love when each one gets a chance to shine. Or not shine in Paul's case, heh.
  

• Silver Fox (Sterling) used to be one of my favorite characters. What happened? He's so bitter now. It was Jane, wasn't it?

• Ok, can't hold it in any longer....BETTY SLZKFJD;LSADJFOWAIEJRSKLNCVSDF OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. OH. MY. GOD. Those were the exact noises I was making when she was looking through the box. Holy crap. This is big stuff. This is HUGE. Poor Betty. And she had to go with Don to the party too and act like everything was fine. I have no idea what's going to happen. I'm so scared. Oh my god...

I can't believe there are only 3 episodes left!

incoherency at its best

OMG



















OMFG

This post has no point except as an excuse for me to flail. Zozizzle and Good Grief, NO COMPLAINING about this post! If you aren't going to post to the blog, then I'm going to make pointless posts about hot Kris Allen pictures, and you're going to LIKE IT!

There. Where were we? Oh...ALSKDJFEWOIUROP3W4UR54038WURASDJVKCNM;ASLJ'ALSDJTOEIUWSDFJ
