Want to know

Because this is my blog and I can basically write about anything I that moves me, Ive decided to do my first-ever Glee recap. A Gleecap if you will. Will you?



This episode, entitled "Original Song", was all about Regionals and, well, the original songs they performed. This was the episode that inspired a raucous "ABOUT GODDAMN TIME!" from Glee fans everywhere. And by Glee fans everywhere, I mean me. Frankly, if the show never came back, Id die a satisfied Gleek. Because, in all honesty, I was starting to get worried about my favorite high-school-misfits-who-are-actually-all-incredibly-talented-and-good-looking musical comedy show. I mean, original songs? It could have been a disaster on par with Ke$ha at the beach. Shudder.

I was beginning to wonder when Ryan Murphy was finally going to quench fans thirst and allow Kurt to emerge from Blaines shadow to finally hit the high notes that only he and a select few eunuchs could ever deign reach. "Has the Emmy award winner gone through some terrible form of puberty rendering him talentless and monotone?!" I feared. Well, Kurtophiles, tonights episode provided the drink we so desperately needed, and indeed, his voice is as feminine, sweet, and refreshing as ever. THANK GOD!!!

• I LOVIED Mercedes original song, known as what I can only guess is "Hell to the No". I will no doubt add that to my iPod and wear.it.out. I also especially lovied Mercedes Lady Gaga tee. Cus baby, she was born this way!
• Quinns opening monologue about prom queens (did you know they live 5 years longer than normal people). Its so nice to see her doing a voice-over for once thats not about being preggo.
• Santanas "Trouty Mouth" song. This could possibly get more action on my playlist than the aforementioned "Hell to the No."
• The tender moment between Rachel and Finn before hitting the stage. Really, I just wanted to say tender.
• Lauren Zeisses actually enjoying herself during the regionals performance. Lest you forget, Lauren was a last-minute filler for last years performance at sectionals and I distinctly remember her saying that Glee club was for losers. It may be just that, but at least shes embracing it!
• New Directions winning the competition. And thank you for not making it some long, drawn out fight to the finish. They deserved to win, they did, period.
• And finally, the allusion to Gwyneth Paltrows brilliant character Holly Holiday becoming a recurring character as Will Schusters love interest. Dirty bit.

And while there were many winners of the night, Id be remiss not to mention the loser of the night: Leggings.


I get it...youre dancing. As high schoolers, theres some sense of decency you have to maintain, but whoever said it was okay to pair cotton leggings with robins egg blue silk dupioni should be shot. In public. Several times. And forced to wear cotton leggings with silk dupioni.

Meanwhile, in a slow cooker (or large saucepan) over medium heat, blend the jellied cranberry sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and chili powder.  Bring sauce to simmer while whisking, and reduce to heat to low.
