Gleeked
Oh my god. I can't even begin to describe how out-of-the-worldly spectacular is Glee. I love, where to start, I love the way they play with stereotypes. I love the non-superficial tortures and responsibilities they included inside these stereotypes, as if the characters were created to live and not to fit in with social constructions. They carried out the wholesomeness of cliches that make the characters intellectually challenge and engage the audiences at the same time. I love the way they included typical teenager dramas and recycle these old stuffs in a new packaging. I love, love the way the characters are portrayed genuinely with their flaws and the fact that they accept each other the way they are. That the loser club is not artificially made as a so-called chosen choices but a gang of escapists and the characters acknowledge it. I love the raw feeling of sheer happiness when I watch it, yet at the same time I'm touched. Glee doesn't downplay life and its complexities to fit in the bill, like probably HSM did. Knight in a shining armor who are stupid enough to believe that babies are conceived without conception. Heroine who are hated and insecure but determined. A school teacher who leads a very sad life but defiantly idealistic. The perfect cheerleader who are pregnant. We all know these people, we've seen them times and times in everyother movies. But in other movies, they have some magical fate. They changed. In Glee, they are who they are and they accepted it with full responsibilities. What's even more awesome is the fact that the movie has many main characters and not just one. Everyone is equally problematic. And you'd think it'll make the show sucked but it makes it even more interesting. You see problems from different perspective and priorities. It is so diverse.

And I can't even begin to describe how much I love their numbers. All the numbers are perfect. The actors are good. The directors are good. This is a gooood show. It's up there with Friends on my list. I'm just afraid that since it's that good, it will be downhill on next season (like GA). But anyway, I can't wait to see episode 14!

Anyway if you're wondering. Happy Valentine's day. I celebrated it with a very romantic skype call with Husky over Sade's By Your Side. It's as romantic as it gets. MJ probably wondering why I chose to be alone on Valentine's day instead of hitting the club with her and, in her word, "find [me] men with money". But frankly, I don't care about Valentine's day. I probably want flowers and cards and all those stuffs but deep down those peer pressures, I don't give a shit. I'm sooo tired after midterms and all I want is to sleep, watch movies, eat, and sleep some more before I'm working for my final papers next week. I don't want to bathe if I could but I did tan yesterday. It was fabulous and so am I. Puke if you must, I have a badass leather jacket to repel the liquid. Cheerios.

PS: I want porto eggtarts sooo much I could rob a bank and feel good about it. Oh Madeleine's at Tanjong Katong...
