I lost again! Yay! Though I again am not sure just how much...I'm calling it 1...it might have only been 1/2 but such is life. MAJOR exercise today, at least for me. I crashed my school's dance class and then later went to Zumba. Zumba was crazy intense and awesome, I hope I can go regularly. Very fun times, even though I feel like an idiot for most of it. Luckily no one else is doing much better with the steps than I am. The major downside of this class is that there are giant support pillars in the exercise room so you can't really see the instructor. Upside is that the 2 girls in front knew what they were doing and they actually demonstrated the moves almost better than the teachers.
Also, I recommend the new Lean Cuisine-steam-in-the-bag-and-pour-it-onto-a-plate-instead-of-eating-from-those-little-plastic-trays-things. I had the chicken pot-stickers for dinner tonight (lazy dinner...) and the pot-stickers were somehow crunchy. Like...they way they would be slightly crisp at a restaurant. And the sauce was a spicy-sweet blend that wasn't completely overpowering. I added some more broccoli to make it a legit meal and now I feel very veggie filled and satisfied.
But okay. Now I have a rant. If you only care about my food intake and exercise exertions, feel free to leave. But Glee and I need to have some words. It is time.
GLEE,
I have let at lot slide. That might be a lie. I've let some things slide. But now, once again, you've gone too far. I take you to last night's episode (This contains no spoilers because, IMO, nothing happened at all in this episode.)
Your average high school orchestra does not sound good. Quite often it sounds like cats dying. My parents THANKED me when I finally quit violin (for...many reasons, but not having to sit through another orchestra concert was definitely on the list). There is no possible way you found a full youth orchestra wandering around your high school two days before a show went up and had them play it that well. That orchestra does not exist at that school.
All the people at McKinley High ever do is complain about how disrespected their arts programs are, but apparently they have a FABULOUS orchestra of 14 year olds just wandering around waiting for people to summon them to their stupid benefits. Also, there is a full band at every rehearsal for this stupid club. There is no way you are half as ignored and underfunded as you think you are. YOU HAVE YOUR OWN ACCOMPANIST. My 3 choirs in high school didn't have a separate accompanist. Our director played for us. You obviously have money, or someone just loves you, so stop whining about it. Also, you never talk to your accompanist or your backup orchestras/bands. How could you possibly not be friends with any of the instrumentalists who come to all of the rehearsals that you do? Obviously you're all disrespectful bitches to everyone around you. Maybe that's why no one came to your benefit.
Which brings me to my next point:
Glee kids claimed they could not get a soul to come to this benefit. There were like 2 people in the audience. However, on stage you had all of Glee club, a full orchestra, various combo bands, and A FULL GOSPEL CHOIR (...that Mercedes had stashed in the back of her car? Where do you hide a gospel choir? I mean, the orchestra had their own room, I get that, but everyone was hanging out in the choir room and we saw no gospel choir. Was this benefit on a Thursday night? Did they have rehearsal so they had to come late? Why would you hold a high school benefit on a Thursday? That's a school night. I digress.)
All I'm saying is you had a ton of performers and you're telling me not ONE parent came to this thing? An orchestra full of tiny people and...they all just took the bus home? REALLY? Every Glee parent we've seen on this show is pro-Glee and none of them came to their child's benefit? None of the gospel choir members felt like sitting in the audience for the first half? I mean, there is saying that your club is the neglected club but even the unpopular clubs have parents and siblings.
CLEARLY I HAVE MANY ISSUES WITH THIS SHOW. I should not be watching it but I can't stop. I can't help it, I love the idea of this show but it is just terrible every week. GAH. I am filled with rage and annoyance. Again, I say, I should stop watching. Maybe I will. Maybe this is my last episode ever. I seriously need to drop it like a bad habit and another 60 pounds.
Okay. I've said my peace. I actually could say quite a bit more, but I won't. For now. But Glee, you time on my Hulu stream is nearly up. You've been warned; get it together.
