A gel-ervention.
Kurt & Blaine sing to each other in the car? a) of course they do. b) that’s adorable. Here’s what’s not adorable: Kurt’s horrible half-sweater, “I Kissed a Girl” being stuck in my head, Beiste continuing to eat gross food (I thought they did a decent job of making her human last season, and not focusing on her more masculine aspects [which, for this show,...

this is the kind of stuff that I flail over
That Locksley song being used on the NFL promo with the Lions! Yay! Yay, favorite previously unknown opening band! Yay Lions! (even though they’re like a bunch of overexcited big dogs right now) Related, to Matthew Stafford: look alive, sunshine.

HIMYM: "The Rebound Girl"
Two takeaways:
-I would like Cobie Smulders’s hairstyle very, very much. Alas, my face is not angular enough to pull it off.
-My reaction to that last scene: “Oh.”
(I miss really loving this show)

-Pardon me, Cora: why in the world would you want Thomas back? Are you unaware that he’s a scheming, pompous hosebeast?
-What did they do to Iain Glen? He was kind of handsome in Game of Thrones, and here, he just looks old and much less hearty.
-I find it so bizarre that the maids aren’t allowed to serve meals; it’s the men who serve. They can’t even fill in, for...

ESPN using “20th Century Boy” to soundtrack a commercial showing Steelers fans… using only the “it’s plain to see you were meant for me” part… I don’t even know. I don’t.even.know.

-Shut up, Edith.
-I mean, Vera, really.
-Thomas Barrow, you little coward.
-Seriously though, who peed in Miss O’Brien’s cornflakes? Such a shit-stirrer.
-Ser Jorah! Lookin’ forward to it!

Patrick Stump, he’s becoming a force of nature: the more they let him get soulful and avoid the emo voice, the better. We had a lot of conversations about that in the early days. I remember one particular time we were working together in the studio, he was singing his ass off warming up, and I was blown away. “Man, why don’t you sing like that all the time?” I asked him....

I’ve been following this Penn State thing like a madwoman, mostly. It’s just… it’s amazing how allegedly so many people knew stuff and did nothing about it… Penn State is playing Nebraska tomorrow, so people are talking about Nebraska a lot, and my reaction is to sing “you and I” very loudly, because apparently, I will forever associate any mention of...
