Soooo Georgie Wants You to Put A Ring On It?

(Was the title too much? It might be too much.)

It's been a while. Sometimes, you need to be inspired to write about...nothing. Well, all that nothing finally inspired me this evening. The following conversation just happened between me and my mother:

While discussing Glee, and its upcoming season finale, we started talking about next season. Anyone who's a 'Gleek' (yeah, I am one, I'll say it) knows that next season they are casting a 'Carrie Underwood type' to be Rachael's arch nemesis. (If you don't know what that means, don't worry, it just means you aren't awkwardly obsessed with a television show.) The point here is, we're talking Carrie Underwood. Which leads to talking about Carrie Underwood's engagement to Mike Fisher. (It's the hockey thing, we can't help it.) Which leads to talking about Hilary Duff's engagement to Mike Comrie.... (I'll start you part of the way through the conversation, otherwise we might sound nuts. Fine, we already are nuts but, we'll try to keep it to a minimum here.)

Me: Well, yeah, but have you seen Hilary Duff's engagement ring?!

Mom: Yes, but Mike Fisher is far better looking than Mike Comrie. Doesn't that matter? Wouldn't you rather be Carrie Underwood?

Me: You are correct. He is better looking. Far better looking. BUT HAVE YOU SEEN THAT RING? If those are my options, come on! I'm never going to be an American Idol but I still have a shot at being a Canadian's Girlfriend.... He is Canadian right?

Mom: Yes. They are both Canadian. But the one who got the million dollar ring found the Canadian hockey player slash heir so, may want to work on the American Idol thing too. Good luck with all that.

So in case you were ever wondering what the conversation is like between mother and daughter, there it is folks. Million dollar rings, Canadian hockey players, and TV shows that literally have no effect on anyone's life. So here's to family and all the wonderfulness that comes with it.

I'm Totally Gonna Be Famous

In just half a season Glee has become my favorite show on television. I actually cried when they won their Golden Globe. (I have also cried when they show Kim Kardashian at Saints games so I'm not sure references to my tears gives any significant barometer of what my feelings are.) Recently, the producers of Glee announced they will be holding open auditions for amateurs and professionals alike to fill three new roles for the second season.

If this isn't best news I've ever gotten I don't know what is. Clearly, I will be submitting an audition tape. I will be spending the rest of the evening in my bathroom (great acoustics, everyone knows that right?) in my big empty house preparing my vocal selection. See you later Job Hunt '10, I've got it all figured out now.

Also, if anyone knows of a dance instructor in the greater Buffalo area, I'm going to need their name and contact information. Bonus points if this dance instructor gives his or her lessons for free.
