The Princess and the Fangirl

I started writing this August 2019 but stopped before I got all my thoughts down. It is now October 2019 and I don't remember what I was going to write. This is all I wrote. Might finish eventually:



Even now in my mid-20s I still love those angsty teen romance books that you can read in one day. And Princess and The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Posten is definitely one of them.
The story follows Geekerella but works as a stand-alone book.

Fiona Davis

I started writing this March 2019 but stopped before I got all my thoughts down. It is now October 2019 and I don't remember what I was going to write. This is all I wrote. Might finish eventually:


 The three Fiona Davis books I've read (The Dollhouse, The Address, and The Masterpiece) along with The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton all have a common theme of a down-on-her-luck young lady who discovers a thing of mystery surrounding a historical location which she further investigates. And back in history that thing centers around an also down-on-her-luck young woman whose life gets changed by a man. The present day woman investigates the mystery of the past one discovers she died in a tragic way.

Perfect Little World by Kevin Wilson - Unfinished Post

I started writing this August 2018 but stopped before I got all my thoughts down. It is now October 2019 and I don't remember what I was going to write. This is all I wrote. Might finish eventually:

Perfect Little World by Kevin Wilson is centered around an experiment of a communal family. Ten families live together in the same complex and their kids are brothers and sisters to each other and all the adults are their parents. The experiment is meant to last ten years but of course there's drama when living in a close-knit environment. The story is told from the alternating points of view of the doctor conducting the experiment Dr Preston Grind and the only single parent in the experiment Izzy

The Wonder by Emma Donoghue [Spoilers]

The Wonder by Emma Donoghue

Before I begin, I acknowledge how hard it is to write a 300 page book and I could personally never do such an amazing feat. 

 I hate having to say this because I usually love (or at least like) all books but this is the worst one I've read in a really long time. This book took me over a month to finish and not just because it was kinda long (almost 300 pages with small font - hardcover version) but also because it was boring and slow. It's hard to describe exactly what happens in the book because each chapter is so slow until we get to the ending.


Here's some basic premise of the story:
Little girl (Anna) stops eating after her 11th birthday. Her brother died a few months prior. People think it is a miracle of God. The town hires two people to watch Anna day and night. A nurse trained by Florence Nightingale (Lib - the narrator) and a Catholic nun.


Now for some spoilers...














































 Lib watches Anna and is convinced the family is secretly feeding Anna but it stops after the two nurses start their watch. It turns out that the mom was "baby-birding" (regurgitating into her mouth) Anna in the morning when hugging her good morning and calling it mana from heaven.
 And the reason Anna stop eating? She found out that it was a sin for her brother to be having "marital" intercourse with her in the night and that he was stuck in limbo/hell. She would have to fast and pray in order to save his soul. It ended with Lib telling Anna that Anna is joining her brother in heaven and she gets to wake up as a different girl the next day.

The Wangs vs the World by Jade Chang - Book (Spoilers)

The Wangs vs The World by Jade Chang

Spoilers throughout the post

    First of all, I want to say that I can relate to this book. A brief synopsis of the book: a Chinese-American family goes bankrupt and the dad goes around collecting his children so he can go back to China to reclaim the family land stolen by the Communists. My family is Taiwanese and we also have 3 children; during the entire book I worry about what if the same thing happened to us? Would we have enough money to go back to Taiwan? Will we have anywhere to go back to?

Each chapter of the book is from the point of view of a different character. In the Wang family there is Charles, Barbra, Saina, Andrew, and Grace.

    The chapters are each numbered with Chinese characters instead of numerals. Also there's some conversations in Chinese that are in pin yin so you might need to get someone to help you translate if you don't know Mandarin. 

   Charles Wang – Chinese name Wang Da Qian. Family fled to Taiwan away from the Communists when he was young. He went to school at National Taiwan Universitu. Before senior year, his parents sent him to America with “a list of fertilizer manufacturers” to help earn the family fortune back. Instead, he got into the cosmetics industry and grew big. He married his first wife May Lee who was a model. They had a house in Bel-Air. May Lee died getting onto a helicopter to view the Grand Canyon in order to rekindle their marriage after the third child was born. After the death of his first wife, Charles married Barbra who he knew back in Taiwan.

   Barbra – Chinese name Hu Yue Ling. Full Taiwanese, her family worked in the University where she met Charles. She always had a crush on him. One summer she decided to work on her appearance and lose some weight but when school started back up, Charles had already left for America. After awhile, one of her classmates heard from Charles that he was going to be marrying a model. When she had heard about May Lee’s death, she took all of her parents’ savings and flew to America to find Charles.

   Saina – The oldest child and daughter lives in Helios, New York by herself. She lived in Manhattan for a while as an artist until she had a failed show and her then fiancé, Grayson, cheated on her and got another girl pregnant. Saina moved to Helios as a personal exile from society and also away from everything that reminded her of Grayson. But he came looking for her saying that the other girl lost the baby and Saina was the only one for him. After being together for awhile, his son was born. She found out that Grayson had lied to her and he went back to his baby-mama. Besides Grayson, Saina was dating Leo – a local – who took her back after Grayson left.  

   Andrew – The second child and oldest son. Goes to school at Azusa Pacific University and wants to be a comedian. He believes in waiting to find love before having sex. He has his car repossessed the day everything happened. As Charles goes around picking up the children, they stop in New Orleans and he meets the thirty-five year old Dorrie who not only gets to him to have sex but also to stay in Louisiana with her instead of going to New York with his family to get Saina. After a few days of being with Dorrie he realizes that they don’t love each other (blinded by the sex) and he leaves her behind. Andrew goes around the state trying to figure out what to do and finally performs a comedy routine that goes well. He ends up having to fly to Beijing when their father ends up in the hospital.

   Grace – The youngest child and daughter. She is away at boarding school in Santa Barbra. She’s only able to pack up the basics of her possessions when she finds out. Grace is in the teenage rebellious stage and she wants to be a fashion designer. Grace is the first one to be picked up by the dad and is on the journey the longest.

   Charles has about $10,000 stowed away in cash and that is the money the family uses to travel across the country. At one point, they stop at one of his factories (and break in) to pick up a shipment of some cosmetics for a small town general store that Charles personally helped kick start. Unfortunately, the products had melted by the time they reached the destination. Another stop along the way was to New Orleans where one of Charles’s longtime friend Nash lives. This is where Andrew leaves the journey. And somewhere in North Carolina the family get into a car crash. They get a rental car and Grace drives the entire way to New York while her dad and stepmother sleep. 

Keep scrolling to see how the book ends.

If you don't want to know then the post ends here for you.

You have been warned.

After getting to Saina's house, Charles leaves Barbra and Grace there to fly to Beijing by himself and find his land. When he gets to his land he finds out that his grandparent's friend had been pretending to be him (Charles Wang) for years and had already claimed the land. But the impostor is a gambler so he gambled the deed to the land away. Charles gets into a fight with the man and ends up in the hospital - as a result of the fight and the mini strokes he has been suffering from.

The three children and Barbra all fly to Beijing to see Charles in the hospital. The book ends with Charles dying while surrounded by his family and his last words are "Daddy discovered America!" This was his way of saying that he found his place in America and was able to prosper. 

It was a happy-sad ending. I cried a lot afterwards and wished the book were longer so I could find out what happens when the kids get back to the States. 

The Girls by Emma Cline - Book (Spoilers)

The Girls by Emma Cline

There will be spoilers in this post and it will be clearly marked.

This book is loosely inspired by Charlie Manson and his "girls".

I was very sad when the book ended where it did. It didn't feel like anything was resolved. The story is about Evie who meets this group of people the summer before she goes to boarding school. They live on a ranch together and don't believe in worldly possessions and they share their clothes and food. They go dumpster diving in town because they don't have any money since most of the people are runaways from life or family. The book has four parts and each part starts with a short narrative of present day and then the chapters will be about Evie's time with this group of people.

The group is led by Russell Hadrick who convinces them that they can all love each other and he loves all of them. Most of the girls there probably didn't get enough love/attention in their own lives so they thrive when they are with Russell. Russell is all about putting out a record because he wants to share his message with the world and he believes he is the next big thing. He relies on Mitch Lewis, a musician, to get him a record deal and help him along.

Evie is drawn to the group by Suzanne, one of the girls there. She understand Russell's message but isn't as mesmerized by him as the other girls are. Evie spends the summer going off to the ranch to visit the group and eventually stay there when she gets in a fight with her mother.

It ends with something big happening with the group, Evie goes off to boarding school, and how she's dealing with life now.

SPOILERS BELOW

SPOILERS START HERE

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS

The whole story leads up to a major crime that happens with the group. Turns out, Mitch "betrays" Russell and doesn't get him a record deal. (Mostly because the recording session with Russell went horribly.) Russell plans revenge by "suggesting" to Suzanne and some of the other girls to go to Mitch's house and make a statement.

Evie tags along because she's attached to Suzanne but is kicked out of the car on the way to Mitch's house. When the group gets to Mitch's house, Mitch is not there but his ex-girlfriend, her child, the groundskeeper, and the groundskeeper's girlfriend are all sleeping. Suzanne and the girls take the people sleeping in the house and brought them to the living room eventually killing them one by one.

I thought the ending was kinda terrible. Evie wasn't there, she was afraid that the group would come to find her and she would some how get into trouble. She also goes to boarding school and everything eventually returns to semi normal. She makes friends, she enjoys life. (That's all it says about this.) Now that she has had this experience, she can tell when a girl hasn't had enough attention in her home life because she will crave the attention of others. The book ends with Evie seeing a man walking towards her and thinking he is here to get her. Turns out it was just a stranger taking a walk. THE END

The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena - Book SPOILERS

 The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena

when the spoilers part starts there will be bold letters stating "start spoilers" and "end spoilers"

 I'm ashamed to say, I definitely judge a book by its cover. And by the first page/paragraph/sentence of chapter 1. I was debating between reading this or The Girls (which I received in my August book of the month box) and this book jumped out to me right away.

First sentence:

"Anne can feel the acid churning in her stomach and creeping up her throat; her head is swimming".

Yup, I definitely want to find out what happened to her (next sentence "she's had to much to drink"). I'm hooked!



First of all, I thought it was going to be a drama novel with a small bit of who-dunnit mystery involved. Also I thought there was going to be murder but you find out at the end of the first chapter that it's a kidnapping.

Now about the characters involved. No spoilers yet but we will be revisiting the characters in the the spoilers section.


Anne and Marco Conti - They are the parents of the missing child Cora.

Richard and Alice Dries - Rich parents of Anne. Richard is the step father.

Cynthia and Graham Stillwell - Anne and Marco's next door neighbors.

A short plot summary: Cora goes missing while Anne and Marco are over at Cynthia and Graham's apartment for a dinner party. The entire book is finding out what everyone is hiding, where the baby is (if she's even still alive), and who took the baby.

SPOILERS BELOW

SPOILERS

I cannot reiterate enough that there will be SPOILERS below. The end of the spoilers will be marked with an "end spoilers"

































Everyone wants to know who did it. Marco set up the kidnapping but Richard set Marco up. Cora is fine and alive.

Details:

The Conti family are over at the Stillwell apartment until after 1am. They go home and find their 6 month old daughter missing from her crib. They were checking on her every 30 minutes.

Anne - She has a dissociative condition where she sometimes blacks out and doesn't remember what she has done. Also has postpartum depression. She doesn't remember anything during the time she checked on her daughter at 11pm. She only remembers breast feeding, the baby being fussy, and slapping the baby.  (She ends up killing Cynthia at the end for something else)

Marco - He set up the whole thing with his friend Bruce Neeland (whose real name was actually Derek Honig). Marco had planned to hand the baby over to Derek briefly after 12:30 and Derek would call asking for a 2 million dollar ransom about 12 hours later.

Something goes wrong and a package arrives a few days after asking for 5 millions. Marco goes alone because he knows the baby will be there nice and safe. When he gets there, there is an empty car seat and he gets hit over the head and blacks out. Marco and Derek had become friends over the (doesn't say how long) and after Marco asked Richard for money and was denied, Derek suggested fake kidnapping Cora so they can both get money from it.

Richard - Turns out he was having an affair with Cynthia (yes, Anna's neighbor). It's implied that he was the one who set Derek up with Marco because he ended up with all the money and the child. Richard's assistant was the one taking care of the child while it was missing.

Alice - She's pretty innocent throughout all this. She's the one who tells Anne that her stepfather was cheating with Cynthia.

Cynthia - Came onto Marco during the party at the beginning of the book. Turns out she and her husband Graham like to watch her having intercourse with other men and they film it. They have hidden cameras all around to record whenever she's with someone else. They end up having video footage of Marco taking the baby out to Derek in the garage.

Graham - Graham is against giving the video footage to the police because he would get into trouble for filming people without their consent.

Video footage: Showed Marco going into the house at 12:30 to "check on the baby" but then he comes out at 12:33 and brings Cora into the garage where Derek is parked in a Prius.

Siracusa by Delia Ephron (Book) Spoilers

Siracusa by Delia Ephron

There will be spoilers in this post but it will be clearly marked.

 So I got this book Siracusa (by Delia Ephron) in my August Book of the Month Club shipment. (Link here) And I started reading it right away and it took me about a week to finish. The chapters are each told by a different character in the story.

Short description of plot: Two couples and one daughter go on a vacation to Italy and something dramatic happens at the end.


Longer description:
 The four main adult characters and the one teen character are: Finn, Taylor, Snow, Michael, and Lizzie. Side adult character Kath.

 Details about each character:
 -Finn: used to date Lizzie, married to Taylor, father of Snow. He is a restaurant owner.

 -Taylor: Married to Finn, mother of Snow. She works with the mayor's office in Portland, Maine on the city's tourism. She babies Snow and believes her to have extreme shyness syndrome. Can "decipher" what her daughter is trying to say even when no words are used.

 -Snow: a shy teenager, she goes through a transformation throughout the book - or maybe she was already like that but didn't show her true self until Italy.

 -Michael: Married to Lizzie, having an affair with Kath (you find out in Michael's first chapter about her so this isn't really a spoiler). He's written plays and is currently writing a play.

 -Lizzie: Married to Michael, used to date Finn. I think she's a freelance writer for newspapers and stuff but I don't really remember. She's the one who plans the Italy trip for the two couples.

 -Kath: Having an affair with Michael, she's the hostess at a restaurant Michael goes to frequently (where they met).

The story:
 The five main characters go to Italy on a vacation together, Rome is nice, Siracusa is next. Michael and Lizzie rekindle the romance in their relationship. Taylor is overprotective especially when Snow starts to be more engaged in her surroundings because of Michael (but Taylor not so secretly loves this). Snow is weird but that's the point. You're not supposed to be able to figure out what she's thinking. A mysterious thing that all of the online reviews mention happens. But you'll have to read the spoilers below to find out what it is. The spoilers will be clearly marked when it starts and ends. There will be some final thoughts afterwards. You'll see the "end spoilers" if you keep scrolling

SPOILERS STARTING NOW!!

 Kath shows up on the trip. She surprises Michael in Siracusa. She used his plane miles by using her spare key into his office and accessing his password and other information. She gets a room at the same hotel as the rest of the group. And she makes him buy her a ring as a sign of commitment.

 Snow, who has been smitten with Michael this trip (not sure if romantic or as a father figure), finds out about the affair and allegedly pushes Kath onto the rocks by the sea. No one knows for sure but Kath is definitely dead.

END SPOILERS!!

SPOILERS OVER!!

END OF SPOILERS!!

YOU CAN READ THIS PART IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS!!

Final thoughts:
 I like when a book has chapters each based on a different day (like Dracula's journal format) or each is a different character narrating like this book is. It gives us multiple points of view of one situation and we can see how each of the characters interpret the situation.
 I can totally see the author writing this book from Snow's point of view. Her thoughts should be quite interesting since she barely speaks throughout the book.

Flesh and Bone

 There's a new show on the Starz channel called Flesh and Bone. I've started watching it and I am hooked. It's about 21 year old Claire Robbins who runs away from her sexually abusive brother to join the American Ballet Company in New York.
 She obviously has a tragic backstory because of her brother. She is portrayed as timid and shy because she has a secret to hide which gets annoying at times but it comes across in her dancing as passionate.

  I'm not going to summarize each episode but I do recommend everyone to check it out. Disclaimer, it is really dark and emotionally scarring so if you're sensitive to things, maybe skip this show. (After each episode I do need to get up and hug my dog or look at cute animals online. It is really dark.)

Female nudity involved (and one instance of male nudity so far). Also rape/sexual abuse.

Why I Stopped Reading

If you ask me now, I would say that I am currently reading Sherlock Holmes volume 1. (I accidentally bought, then read, volume 2 first.) But in reality, I haven't picked it up in forever.
The reason is...I am currently on the chapter called "The Final Problem" at the part where Sherlock and Watson are hiding from Moriarty by travelling all over Europe. I already know what's going to happen and it depresses me to think about it so I haven't been able to finish the story.
The other issue is, I just can't start a new book if I'm not able to finish my current one. Which means I've basically been stuck in reading limbo for over a year now.
There's so much of the book left to read but I just can't. :'(

Point of Honor - Pilot

Point of Honor

I am currently watching the Amazon pilot episode of Point of Honor and I have conflicting opinions about it. I feel like it's basically Gone With the Wind but with bad accents and less accurate outfits. It is a period drama based in Virginia at the beginning of the Civil War.

Location: Point of Honor in Virginia, owned by the Rhodes family.
Sisters: Kate - main sister who is in charge of the place and makes all the decisions. Lorelai - the only blond sister, married to a "Yankee" (Robert) who is fighting for the North, and a constant worrier.  Estella - the youngest sister, free and young, a bit "loose" for a lady, and the fun one.
All three sisters were taught to shoot and defend themselves by their father and they put it to use in the episode.
There are also two brothers, one is John, the other is a drunkard (apparently.)

Opinion: I love period dramas, especially ones with great costumes. This fell short of that. Costumes didn't look like they were from the right time, the colors seemed off. The accents (not that I can do better) were less than convincing. And the pilot didn't really show enough for us to want to know more about the characters. Sure it is another point of view to shoot this from, but the pilot episode should show enough to keep people wanting more.

Spoilers:










John leaves the army to free the slaves on his land but still fight for the South.
Robert leads the army to Virginia to stop the war before it begins. (But also to see his wife?)
Drunk brother sees some men from the army in the woods and has time to warn his family.
Rhodes men and some others from the town go to the army base to confront them.
The father is shot (not by Robert) and Robert rides away with the rest of the army.






With all that said, I would watch more just to see how they run with it.

Glee Season 6 Ep 3 - Jagged Little Tapestry

Glee Season 6 Episode 3 - Jagged Little Tapestry 

I apologize in advance but I have cut out a bunch of Becky’s storyline from this summary because I find her character very rude and not to my taste. (That and she’s so mean to Quinn)

Kurt is in the sheet music store looking for songs from Smash (tv show, I loved it!)

Blaine shows up on the other side of the aisle looking for the same thing. Dave is also there. Awkward.

They sing (song: It’s Too Late). This song actually means a lot to my family and me because of how much my dad sings it. Our whole family uses this song in situations when a person wants something after the fact “it’s too late baby, now it’s too late.”

Klaine scenes in their Dalton blazers. Regretful glances. They go to their respective pianos and look at pictures of the two of them together. Basically what the whole Klaine fandom has on their tumblrs.

Opening title sequence

Kurt suggests mash-up week. Me: already?

Kurt + Rachel don’t get along because they’re just Alphas.

Offensive things said to Quinn and Tina via Becky’s mouth.

Santana + Brittany scissor and have lesbian talk about their future. They confess their love. And they duet. (Song: Hand in My Pocket/I Feel the Earth Move.) Santana’s voice isn’t sexy Latina anymore, she basically sounds like Brittney’s singing voice. Santana proposes to Britt.Lots of jaw drops in the choir room. Rodrick: Wait…what is happening? Puck: This kind of thing happens all the time, just go with it.

Kurt has an outburst. Santana gets fiery. She makes fun of his dance moves and lists a million reasons Blaine and Kurt didn’t work out. Britt and Kurt have a bonding moment. But then she tells him that Blaine is moving in with Dave. More bonding moments.

Issues/argument about Becky’s new bf and having intercourse with someone who has Down Syndrome.

Jane and guy twin Mason duet. Kurt has Klaine flashbacks to when they first met and were running down the Dalton hallway, their first kiss, and when Parvoti died. He also sees when he refused to have sex in the back seat with Blaine, and when Blaine proposed. Tears.  (Song: Will You Love Me Tomorrow/Head Over Feet.)

Sue confronts Coach Beiste and finds out she has cancer. Sue is on her side.

Becky pretends to be part of the Glee club to impress her new boyfriend. (Song: So Far Away)

Coach Beiste tells Sam (and Sue) that she has gender dysphoria which means her outsides don’t match her insides and she’s going to change herself into a man. Sue is human in this scene.

Kurt, and Rachel sing with Tina and Britt as backup. Santana steals the stage. (Song: You Learn/You’ve Got a Friend)

Overall: Puck was there to give awesome one-liners. Sam is there to move the Coach Bieste storyline along. Quinn is there to look beautiful, show off awesome dresses, and to sing one or two lines a song to show off her voice. The old Glee club was called back to help with ratings because of viewer complaints.

Glee Season 6 Ep 2 - Homecoming

Glee Season 6 Episode 2 - Homecoming

The episode starts with a Blaine voiceover and a cartoon sketch. Something about death, taxes, and Dalton Academy. He talks about being unable to get back into music when he and Kurt broke up. Until he started coaching the Warblers. They make a nod to how much hair gel Blaine uses. (It’s more than a dime size.)

BLAINE AND KAROFSKY ARE NOT A JOKE! REPEAT! BLAINE AND KAROFSKY ARE NOT A JOKE! They are actually dating and it wasn't a nightmare!

Blaine decides to not use hair gel. (Careful Blaine, your Darren is showing). He even stopped wearing bow ties. And people didn't recognize him.

A girl tells Blaine that she’s a new student at Dalton and wants to join the Warblers. Blaine’s life just got flipped upside down.

More sketched scenes.

Becky comes back to slushie Rachel. Kurt, Rachel, and Sam visit Will.

Blaine: a girl wants to join the Warblers!

Warbler court. This looks familiar. All the students are new faces.

Warbler 1 says something about sexual tension and never getting anything done.
Blaine: But aren’t most of you gay?
Resounding No! No! No!
Warbler 1: I have a girlfriend
Warbler 2: We all have girlfriends

Head Warbler suggests letting her try out first.

Rachel and Kurt argue about filing sheet music. Rachel finds someone with an amazing voice and goes into the guys locker room.

Mercedes, Brittany, Santana, Artie, Quinn, and Puck are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Where’s Tina and Mike?) Tina shows up late. Sam asks Mercedes if she’s still a virgin. (I think Quinn and Puck together?)

Back in the choir room. Artie practicing story boarding. (This explains the episode)

Cue bright and florescent colored clothes. (Song: Take On Me)

Intro to fat kid with headphones. Newest member? Name is Roderick.

Blaine meets up with the girl Warbler (Jane) on the stairs where he first met Kurt. Blaine tells Jane she has to audition first. Rachel helps her work on the audition.

Kurt goes to the locker room to recruit the gay football guy.

Jane auditions. (Song: Tightrope) Warblers help with backup. They love it and dance along with her. (It’s in the Warbler blood to join into any dance) Head Warbler commands everyone to stand down. They do not. She shakes hands with him. They all clap and pat shoulders.

Original Glee club goes to Tea Party Patriot Club to recruit members. They turn out to be bigots.

“Quinn once had sex with a Latina lesbian!”

The Warbler council voted against letting Jane join. Blaine offers to help her fight for her right to be there.

Holy Trinity sing Problem. (I squeal) They edited their voices so that the three of them all sound exactly the same. Santana doesn't have her unique voice anymore in this song. It’s nice to see Britt back to singing and dancing. (Song: Problem)

Kitty is still in the cheer leading. Twin cheerleaders want to try out together.

The Glee club gang up on Roderick in the library and tries to recruit him for Glee club.

Sue goes back to journaling. She wants to send someone into the Glee club as a pawn again. She writes down “gay kid”

Dayum he’s confident.

Roderick auditions (Song: Mustang Sally). Are you sure that this is his voice? It’s incredible!!!!!! Holy Trinity leaves the audience to go up on stage as his back up. How he doesn’t die in a puddle is beyond me. I would be on intimidated by the three of them.

Jane went to Rachel to try to join New Directions. Blaine bursts in angered and breaks their pact.

Twin cheerleaders say some weird things. Group hug. Homecoming bonfire. (Song: Home)
Fireworks. Blaine and Karofsky in the back of a pick-up truck sitting together. Sue mouths “fireworks??”

Kurt spots Blaine.

Preview for next week: Santana proposes to Brittany

Glee Season 6 Ep 1 - Loser like Me

Glee Season 6 Episode 1 – Loser Like Me

Rachel’s first song. CRINGE (Song: Uninvited)

How bad was the episode for it to get a 0 rating?

Her dads are getting divorced. This must be the worst day of her life.

BLAINE!!!! That’s all that matters. I’m glad the first person Rachel reached out for is him.

Klaine broke up?!?! NOOOOOOO! Blaine is the new coach of the Warblers

The teachers got ebola so Blaine can coach

They hold hands, he sings.(Song: Suddenly Seymour) “Seymour’s your…..” That pause made me thing my screen was broken “…mannnnn”

Sue’s voiceover. Next best thing of the show since they broke up Klaine. Raw kale, protein shakes, and body shaming. Oh and she transferred the whole Glee club away.

Kurt speed dating.

Warblers welcome Rachel with a song. I love Warblers. Synchronized dancing in matching outfits! Oh and they have Blaine’s blazer on display in the office! (Song: Sing)

Gay football guy calls someone homo. Sam is working as water boy

Sue has a convict as her secretary

Kurt is sitting in a restaurant waiting for a date and he flashes back to when he and Blaine broke up. Blaine shows up late, they have domestic disputes and have been unhappy for months. L I don’t think Blaine can survive without him
Blaine: I will never forget you for this

Will shows his dance moves off to his baby. Vocal Adrenaline has a song. Where is Jesse? Will basically sold out because he has a baby now. (Song: Dance the Night Away)

Intervention for Rachel. Sam, Blaine, Mr Scheu and Rachel’s dad watch a few minutes of That’s So Rachel. It was interesting. Rachel donates the money she got from the show to get a new glee club.

Kurt visits. 6 months ago, they were all supposed to show up in front of the apartment. No one else showed up. Kurt admits to screwing up with Blaine

Time for some girl talk. I thought my phone was ringing.

Kurt and Rachel move back to the choir room. Sue drops a protein shake and calls Kurt ‘porcelain’ again. (We know she loves him)

#SueSylvestersThunderDome

Rachel arranged a Klaine meet up. Awkward should-we-hug-or-kiss? Kurt blurts out he wants Blaine back. Blaine says he’s seeing someone and it’s……Dave Karofsky!! The guy who had terrorized Kurt for being gay in high school and then later discovered his own sexuality.

PLEASE LET THIS BE A JOKE. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE RIGHT?! I literally paused and screamed NOOOOO and got up and walked around.

UNACCEPTABLE! UNACCEPTABLE! UNACCEPTABLE!!

Some more “NOOOOOO”-ing from me as Kurt cries in a bathroom stall

Will visits Rachel in the old office. “I always thought Finn would take over this place”

Rachel sings Let it Go. (I had chills the first time I heard this song in the movie. Haha chills, pun.) Does this mean that Frozen is a thing in the Glee universe?

It’s kinda cool that Rachel can use the faculty lounge now. It’s come full circle in a way. Better way to end the episode than Kurt falling apart in the bathroom.

Parenthood Season 6 Ep 10 – How Did We Get Here?

Parenthood Season 6 Episode 10 – How Did We Get Here?

They chose to do the scene with Zeek and Camille getting into the ambulance with muted sound and no music.

And then the showed the children in their separate situations. Adam and Kristina in a brightly led bedroom being there for each other, Crosby frantically searching for the keys by himself but getting a hug from Jasmine, Sarah getting out of bed fully dressed with Hank not doing anything, and Julia lying in regret next to Joel and suddenly getting that message.

I pretty much broke down crying at the beginning

Adam comforting his mother in the hospital chapel

Amber goes to hospital. Drew runs to the car that he got but it doesn't turn on

Hank wakes up and calls Sarah to ask what he can bring because he wants to be there and to bring food for them. (Kinda like Luke when Lorelai was in the hospital for her dad)

Joel shows up with coffee for everything. So does Jasmine. None of the younger kids are in this scene. Hank has to pick up Drew and be in the car alone with him trying to make small talk.

The doctor tells them that Zeek is stable and they have him at a normal heartbeat but it’ll take a while to transfer him to the ICU.

Crosby and Adam go to the Luchenoette and see that it has been completely ransacked. All the musical instruments and recording equipment are gone and all the furniture have been flipped over.

Hank delivers Drew. Kristina delivers bagels.

Crosby is pissed about being robbed. “Why is this all happening?” “Grandma is going strong  at 93 and dad is in the ICU?”

The doctor tells him that they might have to perform surgery again but allows them to visit Zeek in the hospital. (I break down again when Camille says “Zeek? We’re all here”)

Nurse says to Julia and Joel: I’m sorry, it’s family members only
Julia: He’s my husband
Zeek crashes right when Julia gets there

Julia announces to her siblings that they just took Zeek to the operating room again. Everyone freaks out. Joel comes in calmly to tell them what happened. Hank looks on from the background looking helpless.

Hank goes to see Drew in the cafeteria and Drew is still upset about telling his grandma about the secret trip. Hank tells Drew that as a parent, they don’t hold on to moments like that. They bond, Hank drinks Drew’s soda.

Adam tells Crosby that the insurance payment is more than what he expected and maybe they can cash out and pay off their debts. They agree to think about it just as Camille comes in and tells them that the doctor put in stents and that he’s stable now.

Camille and all her children visit Zeek. They ask if he wants to rest, he asks them to stay.

We cut back to the hospital room and Crosby is telling a story about him sneaking in at night when he was young. Family bonding.

Doctor comes in to tell them that the fluids were going back into his heart and that’s what caused this. They eventually need to do the surgery but he’s not strong enough to guarantee to survive this one.

Crosby tells Jasmine about the insurance money and asks what to do. Crosby said he wants no stress for a while and Jasmine said she’ll support him no matter what but he’s happiest when he’s working there.

Drew sits down next to Hank and Hank starts ranting about what a perfect husband Joel is and just wishes to be there for his mom but he doesn't know how. Drew tells Hank that he’s the favorite out of the guy’s that Sarah’s “brought around”. And thanks Hank for “being around”

Adam is looking up stuff about Cardiomyopathy. Kristina tells him to turn it off and he thanks her for being there for him and for the family. He asks Kristina what he should do about stepping back from the Luncheonette. Kristina says they should let it go if that’s what he wants to do.

Hank and Sarah blather at each other about doing the right thing and the situation and how messy everything is. Sarah says “we should be vegetarians.” Hank says “we should get married.” Sarah smile but doesn't know what to respond. Hank: Is it a no? Sarah: Let’s talk later.

Farewell Season advertisement during the commercial break

Zeek talks about going back in time to have some more fun. Camille says that they’ll do it again. He doesn't know what to do about the operation, she wants to talk about it with the family. He says he doesn't want the kids involved and want it to just be “you and me.”

Amber and Drew enter. Drew still looking sad and guilty. He hugs him and says “I love you grandpa”

Hank and Joel grab a beer and talk about the blurt proposal. Sitting next to them is Adam and Crosby. Crosby: worst day ever. Adam: I've had worse. Crosby: Did you fall off a building or something? Adam: It was pretty bad.
Crosby tells Adam he doesn't want to drop out of the Luncheonette.

Sarah and the other women in the family have brought Amber’s baby shower to the hospital cafeteria. Camille is quietly looking at the family that she now has with all these women. They present Amber with a scrap book that they all took part in and wrote a tip for her. The rest is for blank to fill out things for the future baby

Prediction/theories for this season: It will end with Amber giving birth to a new baby boy that she names Zeek. And grandpa will pass away peacefully some time after all 4 generations of Bravermans are in the same room.

Parenthood S6Ep6 - Too Big to Fail

Parenthood Season 6 Episode 6 Too Big to Fail
 Okay just watched the episode and here are my points 1. Okay, hate Natalie. She was being a bit of a pain in the beginning of the episode 2. Jabbar was so understanding and cute when he said he'd pay for his own ticket 3. That scene with Amber and Ruby was so....useful 4. Was wondering what if Dylan walked in while Adam was being "comforted" 5. "I'm the only one in my family that's gone to college" Uhhhhh is Hattie a ghost now? 6. Dear Lunchenette, if you want to save money, TURN OFF ALL THE LIGHTS 7. I want a Harry Potter party too
