Mixer

My adorable sister told me that it's totally cool for me to write only about tv. Not necessary for me to foray into the world of personal hygiene. But my perpetual boredom has encouraged me to branch out a little bit anyway. Not too much, but a little.

This branching out refers to my shoddy Greekaps. I still love Greek and I want to share the love, but I am not so into writing about all the details lately. I mean, I thought that stoned Casey was amazing, I loved weird blonde girl singing Mr. Big's "To Be With You, and Ashleigh connecting her relationship with Fisher (I'm dropping the Hunter/Gatherer because I want to write about him more, and the Hunter/Gatherer is a little too long) to the Chris Brown/Rihanna saga.

But I want to dedicate my time this week to what I considered the best episode of the week. And that honor belongs to Glee's latest episode, "Preggers."

You love it already, right? Just because of the episode title. Mixes some drama with the always appreciated abbrevs. And the episode only gets better.

Seriously. It starts with Kurt, Stuttering Tina, and Quinion #2 (thank you TWoP for the introduction of the word Quinion) doing the "Single Ladies" dance in sequined unitards. And while I am seriously in love with Taylor's "You Belong With Me" video (click here for proof), I can't deny that Beyonce has a baller video and an addictive dance. It was an amazing jump start to an already awesome episode.

And then celibate Quinn is all tears and tells Finn the adorable oaf that she is preggers, because of the time that he came in the hot tub when they were making out one time. And he buys it. Because he is a moron.

Principal Figgins, though not a moron, has to do some moronic things and rehire pedo Sandy (seriously, not me), because Sue Sylvester has a video of an Indian commercial that he was in, in which he tries on stockings. So Sandy and Sue team up to steal Rachel Berry away from the glee club. This results in the most beautiful 30 second song I have ever heard. Go check it out on iTunes immediately. It's called "Taking Chances" and it's incredible.

That reminds me, I was reading a recap of this episode of Glee on EW.com and it started "First off, has everyone downloaded “Somebody to Love,” which is performed in next week’s episode of Glee? If you haven’t, then stop reading this right now, open iTunes, and get at it! I’m already obsessed with it and have it in steady rotation on my iPod." I immediately opened iTunes and downloaded it. And it's so good. "Somebody to Love" and "Don't Stop Believin" have been on my favorite songs playlist for years, so I'm loving the Glee covers.

Other brilliant things about the episode include Kurt's coming out to his manly father, which was equally touching and ridiculously funny, the football team doing the "Single Ladies" dance during a football game, and um, I can't pick one more thing because it was all so good.

And because I have broken my Greekap promise, the next thing I will write is bound to surprise all. Well, maybe not surprise, but it won't be too blah.

Something Different

For the last couple weeks, I haven't written anything other than my Greekaps. And when I wasn't writing about Greek, I was writing about other tv shows. It makes sense, since so many seasons are starting up, and I am such a tv junkie, but it's still a little repetitive. Right now, I'm going to try and write something a little out of the ordinary, just to spice things up. FYI, I have no idea what I'm about to write, so it might turn out to be a blander spice than you might hope for.

The day before yesterday, I went to the dentist, and the dental hygenist told me that my teeth weren't as perfect as they normally are. They were all gross because of my lack of daily flossing. So she spent 20 minutes making my gums bleed, and I, in turn, spent 20 minutes spitting out blood. It sucked.

So I made a resolution that from now on, I will take better care of my personal hygiene. I will start to use listerine, to kill plaque, I will floss after every meal (but not during because it grosses people out), I will wash my face religiously (because my dermatologist was also not so happy with me), and I will start to exfoliate. OH, also, I'm going to resume my gym visits, because not going has not been good on me. And healthy eating goes along with that too.

If I keep up all of these things, soon I will be clean and healthy. Really, I'm doing all of this so that my doctors like me. I remember one time, my orthodontist was talking to her coworkers about how this girl from my middle school was the sweetest girl ever. And I want my doctors to talk about me with that kind of esteem. So here is my mission and let's see if I can stick to it!

Not Yet

I don't feel like writing a full out Greekap yet, because I'm still too wound up from this morning's viewing alongside Gossip Girl, plus my awesome dinner at Nordstrom's Cafe, AND my sadness about Crazy Swayze. Instead, I will just briefly mention my absurd excitement over one bit of Greek from this week.

Courtney from Dorm Life guest starred this episode!!!!!!! Since when are web-series actors real actors? I mean, every other web-series I have watched has had actors that I know from other things, but Dorm Life mostly seems like real people. Weirdos, but real people.

I wonder who else from my beloved web-series I'll see elsewhere. Will Josh start gracing the halls of West Bev? Will Gopher stop into Silas's shop to pick up some weed? Maybe Marshall will be some whack job student in Ted's architecture class.

Anyway, I'm extremely excited to see my precious Courtney, as the crazed pan hellenic prez on Greek. She didn't look as cute as usual (she actually looked sort of horrible), but she was speaking in her psychotic voice, so there was no mistaking her.

Stay tuned for my real Greekap, coming up!

Too Much to Do!

It's already Friday. Four days after the last episode of Greek. And it took me until last night to watch the episode. I also had to watch the second episode of Glee, and the second season premiere of 90210. And I'm trying to sit through the new Melrose Place, but it is so painfully melodramatic, that not even Kostos' adorable spooning with Jessica Lucas (from Life as We Know it, She's the Man, and like two episodes of 90210) can make it watchable. Like seriously, as soon as Ashlee Simpson (apparently Simpson-Wentz now) shrieked, I couldn't help but cringe. And I am someone who managed to sit through Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, so that's saying a lot.

My point is that there has been crazy amounts of tv and premiere week is stressing me out! But I can't believe I'm complaining about it, because few things make me happier than the return of all my favorite shows. I am dying to write about 90210 and about Glee, but I have pledged my allegiance to Greek, and here I am to bring about my weekly Greekap.

Rusty and Jordan have still not had sex. It's weird for tv couples to wait this long to have sex, but I think that it's pretty normal in reality, so I'm proud of Justy for holding off.

I can't exactly say the same for Dale, who is totally miserable post-coitus. He is trying to seek penance in any way possible, including a potential conversion to Catholicism. Cappie sticks by him the whole time, trying to take his mind off of their "shared girl," Casey. I'm sorry, but Dale's casual insistence that he and Casey had something together legit cracks me up. And dear Cappie just goes along with it.

One of the ways that Cappie and Dale try to distract themselves is through their little book club. I really appreciate that they never say the title, My Sister's Keeper, and just expect you to know that the Jodi Picault book where one girl doesn't want to give up her kidney is in fact My Sister's Keeper. I think I'm into Jodi Picault lately. I read the aforementioned My SIster's Keeper (and saw the painfully sad/painfully bad movie) and The Pact and really loved them both. Cappie is too, since he clearly finished reading the book, as he gave away the ending! I actually couldn't believe it. It's okay to give away the ending to The Sixth Sense at this point, because it came out 9 years ago and the entire universe has seen it if they wanted to, but My Sister's Keeper has managed to keep its ending fairly unknown. So tsk tsk, Cappie. You should know better.

I guess the main thing of the episode was the whole Rebecca telling Ashleigh about kissing Fisher/Hunter/Gatherer thing. Rebecca was hilariously clueless the entire time. Like she is so new at this whole friendship thing, that she sort of just makes it up as she goes along. Like when she tells Ashleigh that Casey knew about the indescretion, just so that she can share the blame with someone else. It was great. Also, when Ashleigh forgave Casey and they hugged it out, and Rebecca asked if they were making up yet. It was brilliant.

I wasn't into the whole father/daughter storyline. It didn't make much sense to me that ZBZ would have a weekend just for their fathers. It also didn't make sense that the dads would play football against random frat guys that they don't know. Apparently Casey and her dad (obviously named Russell, because why else would anyone call their son Rusty?) worked out their issues, when he said that he cares about her, but it was still pretty awkward and wasn't very sentimental, so I'm just going to ignore it.

Evan is seriously not a character any more. The show needs to come up with some plotlines for him if they want to keep him a regular.

If I have time, I totally want to write about those other shows. I want to complain about Silver's newfound acceptance into the Mean Girls. And I want to talk about how gorgeous Adrianna is.

A Greekap for the Geekaps

Sorry, the title doesn't make any sense, but I wanted a rhyme and I'm a geek, so there ya go.

So Monday night, my sister calls me and asked me if I watched the Greek season premiere. Oh yeah, FYI, it's totally crap to call it a season premiere, since it's a 10-episode arc and there was just another season from March-June, but that is neither here nor there. However you want to look at it, there was a

new episode of Greek on this Monday. And I had no idea it was coming. I am totally out of the ABC Family loop. So I freaked out on the phone and called my mom to record it. Fortunately, last season, I set the DVR to record any new episodes of Greek, so I'm all set. I watched it that night and wahoo! My show has returned.

Rusty is all in love with Jordan, which is cute, but I still kind of don't understand that relationship. I learned in Psych AP that relationships work better if both parties have equal levels of attractiveness. Now I know that Harry and Charlotte made it work, but I think that Rusty and Jordan need to mention it, instead of pretending that she isn't 10 times as hot as he is. Even with her 70s feathered hair.

But even despite his hot girlfriend, Rusty isn't happy because he's failing out of school. Boo hoo. Sorry, I know that l

ooked sarcastic, but it really does suck that he is failing. He works it out somehow. I'm still a little fuzzy on how, but I guess CRU is pretty lenient on due dates.

The part of the episode that freaked me out the most was probably Dale's broken virginity pledge. Seriously, Dale! Clark Duke was in the movie Sex Drive, where he played this cool sex-crazed dude, but I will always see him as my precious, virginal Daley. Virgin no more. But like, when he asked his landlady/girlfriend to marry him, I totally LOLed. Remind me to never use lol again. That is embarrassing.

Okay the Dale sex probably freaked me out on equal parts as Rebecca making out with my beloved Fisher/Hunter/Gatherer. Ashleigh was just so content with her adorable boyfriend, and he seemed so devoted. I mean, they never really got any story lines after his whole blue man scenario, but I still liked the idea of them. Maybe just because I adore Ashleigh and I thought his character

on Rockville CA was completely Seth Cohenesque. How could Rebecca do that to Ashleigh?!?? She is legit her only friend and she is so good to her! I'm pissed. And Fisher/Hunter/Gatherer is just standing there all faux-obliv.

I was beyond confused when Rebecca had Evan send her the flowers, because I assumed that the two of them had gotten together in the finale. It took me a while to catch on that she was just using him as a cover. But I laughed really hard when the ZBZs were trying to guess who Rebecca made out with and they were like " Oh was it (insert female name here)? Are you a lesbian again?" Ah, I love it when shows don't forget. Because as Seth from Superbad says, people don't forget.

I feel no need to write about Casey and Cappie or Calvin and hot gay roommate, because that is all pretty obvious. It'll happen eventually.

I would much rather end this by writing about how Greek had TWO spots on EW.com this week. One in the Ausiello files, with spoilers about how Casey will be in a committed, long-term relationship with either Cappie or Evan (Cappie) by the end of the ten episodes. The other was in a photo gallery of the best fictional Greek houses, pairing my ZBZs along with Revenge of the Nerds and Animal House!!! Okay, lame ones like Steve's frat from 90210 or the sorority from Sorority Boys were on there too, but my show has made it onto the legit pop cultural scene! Wahoo!

Until next time, Sandy
