Super Gleek

So in case you haven’t heard, FOX has a new comedy all about life in the lower rungs of the Glee Club. And in case you missed last night’s premiere you may not know that it is my new favorite show on television. I was born to be on this show. They sing, they dance, they are overly dramatic. Hello! Imitate my life much?

Since they cast it without my knowledge I am going to have to settle on watching it like the rest of you. But that won’t stop me from exhibiting my inner gleek and performing my favorite songs for Mr. S. around the house. One of which is the cover they did of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin.” I couldn’t find a video version so this will have to do.

And if you find yourself singing along, I am in need of backup singers. Contact me for audition information.

Hammertime!

Mr. S and I took a trip back to 1991 this past weekend. As a surprise to my hubby, I purchased tickets to the reunion concert of Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer. What a night! The concert was down in Orem at the McKay Dee Events Center and upon arrival neon was everywhere. The funniest thing about those decked out in their best 80′s attire was that most of them probably don’t even remember living during that decade. I would like to say that the concert was worth it, but it was a night of long waits. Getting our tickets out of will call was the first obstacle. If you know anyone who works at McKay please tell them what a horrible job they did with crowd control. They probably already know, but one more opinion might make it sink in. I’ve waited in my share of lines but the problem with this system was there was no system. Just masses of people congregating to 2 available windows, much like sending something through a funnel. It was madness and I was very close to losing my dinner from such close proximity with strangers.

Once we finally retrieved our tickets we made it to the concert. I was afraid we would miss some, but since they were so on schedule (sarcasm for “they haven’t even started’) we had plenty of time to prepare. I took some time to polish up on my old school dance moves; Running Man, Cabbage Patch and the Roger Rabbit. When Vanilla finally made it out on stage it was already 10:30pm. This may not seem that late to some, but in recent years partying til the wee hours of the morning is getting hard for me. Especially on a friday night after a long week of work. Since there was another 45 min break from the time Mr. Ice finished until MC started, it was that much later when Hammertime officially started. By that point we were both tired and decided that once we heard a song we recognized we would leave. So with “Pray” as our swan song and a final boost of dance energy we exited the facility. We blame it on wanting to beat the parking lot rush and we are sticking to that story.

P.S In case the above post tells a different story, we did have a good time together. But the only time I want to wait that long for something is when I am waiting to board Splash Mountain. That is totally worth it!
