glee

#Confession I've been on a major glee kick lately, it's my guilty pleasure. 

Like spending a huge part of last night and today watching it on Netflix and Hulu... 

I was a sophomore in high school when the show premiered in the fall of 2009 and, my friends, classmates, even some teachers (I'm looking at you Mrs. Whitehaus) and I were hooked. Something about glee is inherently likable: the characters, the storylines, and my favorite part: the sheer audacity. Each week I tuned in to see what was happening in Lima, Ohio. That was until the job I had caused me to miss a few weeks here and there but overall I caught up on Hulu and saw what episodes I could on TV. Looking back part of charm was many of the characters were my age. When they graduated high school, I graduated too; when they started college so did I. And so I began to watch regularly again last year and over Christmas break I binged on it and backed off over last semester. After hearing about Cory Monteith's death this summer I found myself watching many of his performances again. I also surprisingly enjoyed this season's opener which was a two-part tribute to The Beatles. <3 (another post on my love for the Fab Four later.)

Tomorrow, I will definitely be watching "The Quarterback."

Do you watch glee? What are your guilty pleasures?

Fall Break

Here's to a four day weekend: a chance to recharge and get stuff done! Even though sleeping-in will nice (and taken advantage of!), I'm most looking forward to actually sitting down and finishing work! This will include, but not be limited to...

- laundry: about two and half weeks of it,

- cleaning: my room, bathroom, and the apartment in general,

- decorating: school's been in about a month and a half but the apartment is still pretty bland,

- crafting: big/little week starts Sunday(!), presents are on Tuesday(!!), and I still have a good bit to do, and

- homework: yes, homework. But this is a good thing, sometimes I feel as if it's more valuable to skip class and finish work than it is to go to class in the first place. That and professors usually have the mentality "Oh you have two extra days, so here's more stuff to complete."

How do you typically spend breaks?
