Where I speak with fervour.

Glee and the negligible

It has been about three months since I last touched this blog of mine, now it’s time for me to wipe off the dust and proceed with some necessary resuscitation.  It has been one and a half months since I shifted from what I call a workplace to this new area I dub “the end of the world”.  This huge relocation has not been enjoyable at all.  It felt like I was forcefully dragged down from the white fluffy clouds of heaven into the muddy depths of the piranha-infested Amazon River.  Oh well, at least it’s nowhere near hell.  I no longer advocate environmental conservation, in fact, I openly wish for all the rainforests (or at least those in Singapore) to be logged.  All those self-proclaimed environmentalists should experience subsisting in the jungle for a week or more regularly, before they open their supposedly altruistic mouths.  I thoroughly detest living in the forest and am completely unable to adapt to such unsanitary conditions.  Perhaps it is because I’m a Chinese and we, Chinese people, have been civilised for more than five thousand years.  Therefore, we have probably evolved to such a stage that we cannot withstand being thrown back into the wilderness with the other primitive animals.  Anyway, the end of the world operates somewhat like exile island and fortunately I only have 2 weeks remaining (or so I hope).  I have to break out from this nutshell before I blast some empty skulls into smithereens.

Enough of such destructive talk, I shall veer towards a happier direction now.

GLEE

I LOVE this show!  It’s my current favourite television series.  Although Gossip Girl has the ever-so-hot Leighton Meester and is still as bitchy as ever, Glee has become my number one show because of one simple reason:  it makes me happy.  If you’re exhausted from watching those depressing dramas, you should just turn to Glee.  It is bound to make you ecstatic with all the singing, humour and the little tugs at societal issues.  For those of you who don’t know, this series is about a show-choir and it’s assortment of members.  Give it a try, I promise you won’t regret it.  Unfortunately there isn’t a new episode this week and the next two weeks, all because Fox had to make the timeslot available for some pathetic thing called the World Series.  I mean who the hell watches baseball other than the Americans, Japanese, some Koreans and “citizens” of that “country” informally named Taiwan.  These people don’t even make up a billion.  Ok, I know Glee is an American show, but they could’ve put those stick-meets-ball games at another timeslot or shifted Glee to a different timeslot.  No wonder some people can’t stand Fox.  I can’t wait for that show to return.   By the way, you can find all my favourite American television shows at greatstufftv.com
