All the Glee fans on my Facebook are delighted because Darren Criss has been cast as Hedwig on Broadway for a 12 week run...

Someone posted in one set of comments, "wait, what is Hedwig about?"

Which is fair enough but since I can't comment (not friends with the OP) I can't reply with "it's the autobiography of an East German transsexual glam rock cabaret singer" which I really want to do... How much farther away from Blaine can you get?!

So since I'm going to a Glee convention tomorrow and it's the season five Nationals episode on Sky One tonight, and since Himself is on a night shift, I decided to look at it.
( cut for spoilers, just in case )

In other news, I have successfully completed my online course, which will be nice as I now won't have to be chasing it up the last week in August, which makes a nice change.

Nimoy is starting school in September. Hold me.

I am taking parental leave for the first four weeks so won't be going back until September 29. Just before the holidays, we got served notice of a department inspection. The team will be arriving for a week, guess when? If you said September 29, you get a prize! So my first day back is the first day of the inspection... slightly freaking out about that. The only thing I keep telling myself is that they can't come in to me on the first day, because who would do that? They'll have to leave me until the end of the week (I am hoping they'll run out of time, TBH!) and anything that they say will have to be viewed through the prism of "I am literally 3/4/5 days in this room; I barely know their names yet."

That is my hope; I'll probably still be weeping in the corner on the night of the 28th though!

I have, however, ordered Himself that he MUST be off work on the Saturday of that week. Because there's going to be a hell of a night out on the Friday and I'm not gonna be on Nimoy duty while I'm recovering!

Himself went to shower this evening after getting home and having supper. I flicked through the channels, found the last 20 mins or so of Glee. It was the Michael ep, so I left it on.

Jesus Christmas, I had managed to forget all about "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" until it actually was about to happen and then it was like I was frozen and I couldn't move to turn it off so I just looked at it and I was clawing at my face because oh my god.

Let it be said - I hated Finn (not Cory- he always seemed like a nice chap) with the fire of a nova. I shipped Puckleberry and thought Finchel the debil's own doing.

And that song, them singing, knowing they were acting but also not?

Broke. My. Heart.

The tribute ep is going to hurt more than I thought it was.

Damn it, I went through this already eighteen years ago, lightning should not twice strike!

So, at the Glee con last week, one of the things that happened on Sunday morning was that the photo sessions were cancelled first thing, and we had a sort of round table without a table, where the guests (at that point, Telly Leung, Dominic Barnes and Eddy Martin, who had the first call time) just literally sat down on the floor of the photo room with all the attendees and we all got to share memories/feelings/emotions. Lots of tears. One person suggested a minute's silence/meditation; myself and another girl said the same thing at the same time - "How about a minute's applause?" Which is something that gets done more and more this side of the pond, especially at soccer matches where the opposing side might not be respectful. Plus, my dad called for one at my nana's (his mum's) funeral, so there is form for this in my life. I was in the front, so Telly (who did most of the leading of the talk and BTW, so amazingly eloquent in the worst possible circumstances) kinda looked at me funny and I said, "A minute's applause, for Cory."

And so we did.

After that, they opened the main hall (which came as a surprise for the tech crew!) and kept everyone together and they showed the pilot.

And at the end of the pilot, this happened.

"G3: Teenage Dream "Don't stop believing"" (Watch on YouTube)

Yeah.

By Sunday night, this had gone viral, with the news channel from Cory's hometown contacting the girl who uploaded it, wanting to use it in their coverage. The con, and how it dealt with the passing (and Lord knows, I'm not the organiser's biggest fan but fair play to him and everyone else that morning; they have literally never had this happen to them before and please God, it'll never happen again, and the schedule for the day completely got thrown out the window and it turned into something lovely) was mentioned in plenty of news articles, including one on the Huffington Post

So I've just looked at Glee season 3, second last ep, Nationals.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who was bawling during the last song? Please?

(See, tears but not spoilers?! I'm good!)

On my own in the house and have just looked at Glee the Rumours episode. Probably a good job Himself is at work, I think he would have been frothing at the mouth!

One more teaching day before Confirmation. Thank Crunchie.

Have been catching up on tv tonight and intend to do more now...I really think that if I think about big bangs much more I might just lose my mind! Am leaning to Hotch/JJ for het_bigbang if i can just find the plot bunny for them, and banish the crack!crossover!bunny that ate me on the way to school!

Parent teacher meetings are upon us again; next Thursday is the official day. However, since no-one who thinks it's possible to meet 30 parents in 2 and a half hours has ever tried it, I've started mine already. 4 down, 2 tomorrow, and it looks like I'll only have 15 on the day, so may get out before six. *knocks on wood*

Title line partially inspired by the fact that (and this is something only the Irish educated can understand) they (whoever they are!) have decided to re-release Soundings! For those who do not know, Soundings was the book of poetry that I would have done for my Leaving Cert, the interim volume that stayed for 26 years until the year after I did my Leaving. Apparently, second hand versions of it were fetching huge money so they released it again, just in time for Christmas, but I, possessing no willpower, bought it. And spent a lovely evening flicking through it, being 16 again and finding it astonishing how quotes that I learned so long ago come flooding back! *is geeking out* Himself was not so impressed, apparently he doesn't do poetry. *shrugs* It's the nostalgia people!

Looked at this week's episode of Glee, apart from the last five minutes due to having to put Nimoy to bed and SkyBox asshattery. Non spoilery thoughts, one of the season's better eps, liked the songs, and loving the Puck.

Managed to watch, in between puting Nimoy to bed and the screamfest that ensued, The Rocky Horror Glee Show ...( Thoughts under the cut, assume spoilers for everything thus far. )

Himself was away on Friday night so I got to catch up on NCIS LA and episode 2x03 where ( spoilers )

Just finished looking at the Duets episode of Glee and all I can say is, thank goodness for that. ( Spoilers for that and ep three under the cut )

Nimoy continues to develop apace. She is now proper crawling, as opposed to swim-crawling, and is now pulling herself up on everything. Including the backs of my legs when I'm standing with my back to her making her bottle, which is quite alarming!

Class continue to be dotes, really nice kids. *knocks wood* Have not given them an entrance exam yet, they appear disappointed; lord knows what will happen when I do, they won't know what hit them! May do that the Monday after the midterm, and I am so looking forward to my week off!

My house is silent. Princess is in bed asleep (even if going through a clingy phase that means she cries when I attempt to leave the room. Question; does it make me a bad mother to leave her after trying to for a full half an hour? She stops crying after a minute, I timed it when standing outside the door.) Husband is in spare room bed asleep and ill, dodgy tummy and sore arm/neck from two year old slipped disc injury flaring up.

I have a Cuntas Miosuil to do for school that should be in on Friday (not a bloody hope) and I should be sitting down to it, instead I am up here having some internet time and skipping two eps that I missed to look at the Matt Devlin centric ep of Law and Order UK. Does that make me a bad teacher?

You know, if it does, I nearly don't care.

Have seen first ep of NCIS LA season two. In which they wrote out my favourite character and one part of the ship of my heart which I have never seen anywhere on the net with the exception of a lifeless community. Yes, though I could happily ship Kensi/Callen, the ship of my heart is Nate/Kensi and I do not care what anyone says to me!

This is the best Nate icon I can find. If anyone knows any others, please let me know where!

Just realised I could look at Criminal Minds, especially ep 2, but I don't want to cry!

Glee has disappointed me this season thus far. To the point that after the third ep, I could not even discuss it with the Glee loving peeps in the staff room. I swore a long time ago that I would never again be fangirlish within those four walls, and rage blackouts are not the way to do that!

GIP because it is my favourite thing ever. That is all.

romantical wonders if she's doing fandom wrong - to which I say, if she's wrong, I don't want to be right. I've been meaning to do a post like that for a little while now, but she's just done it for me, and far more eloquently than I could.

The Madonna episode of Glee? Adored it. I need a Glee icon. Also, saw an article online that said Corey Monteith thought that TPTB had made a mistake when they told him he had the part of Finn... my immediate reaction? Oh honey, don't worry, we've all heard your version of Can't Fight This Feeling and we think so too. Seriously, Kevin Cronin would roll over in his grave, if he were dead.
