I’ve turned into a Gleek.

Glee

People have been talking about this show since last year. I really had no intention of seeing it. Call me lazy. But a friend finally convinced me by burning all the episodes on DVD. Instead of looking for diets that work, I began watching it a few days ago, and finished watching all the episodes in 2 days.

It’s actually a pretty good show. I was afraid it would be too cheesy, but it’s just the right amount of cheese. Some episodes made me somewhat uncomfortable, specifically ‘Ballad’. I had to skip a couple of scenes there because Rachel got too creepy.

I’m looking forward to the next season.

Overzealous DVD shopping

I don’t go to movie theaters often. The thing about our family is, we all seem to be stuck in the past – entertainment-wise. My father and I like to bond over classic movies (particularly that of Hitchcock and Cukor). I have a deep admiration for Grace Kelly. My older brother and I are fans of The Beatles, Blondie, The Sex Pistols, and Jethro Tull.

My DVD collection includes 32 Alfred Hitchcock suspense flicks, Gone With The Wind, Wuthering Heights, My Fair Lady, a few horror flicks… and Garden State.

While shopping for my costume for my brother’s 70s party tomorrow (I’m going to wear a purple and white dress, yellow tights, pumps, an orange headband and large hoop earrings), Jeremiah and I decided to go DVD shopping as well.

The good news: they lowered the prices on the classic titles.

The bad news: I couldn’t find a DVD of To Kill A Mockingbird. :(

Still, I walked out of the shop feeling very happy. The new additions to my DVD collection:

  • Casablanca (which is actually a gift from Jeremiah)
  • Breakfast at Tiffany’s
  • Roman Holiday (I got that instead of To Kill A Mockingbird. It still has Gregory Peck.)
  • Sabrina
  • Funny Face
  • Charade

…Audrey Hepburn is trying to dominate my collection. She won’t beat Hitchcock’s reign, though. :D

For your luggage needs. :)
