Gleeks Unite!

Last week was the season premiere of Fox’s hit show, Glee.  I have been looking forward to it and it surpassed all of my expectations.  I don’t know if I expected too much from the show last season but I was sort of disappointed by the last few episodes of Season 1. It was like they were trying too hard to bring on guest stars and somehow they lost the organic and innocent quality that was so refreshing and unique about the show.

I was so happy to be reunited with my fictional boyfriend, Finn (played by Cory Monteith – that’s him below…hubba hubba!).  Last night Glee introduced new characters to the show and I think they will be great additions for the cast and plot lines.  I don’t want to give anything away but the songs that were featured last night were personal favorites of mine like “Telephone” by Lady Gaga and “Empire State of Mind” by Jay-Z.  And next week is the Britney Spears episode so I’m totally looking forward to that.  All in all, I think Glee is back and ready to wow audiences again!

Happy Anniversary Benson!

My dog Benson is celebrating his 1 year anniversary of being rescued in the coming weeks! I adopted Benny as an impulse buy at the West Los Angeles Humane Society around this time last year, I didn’t know much about him but he looked like an excellent filler for a boyfriend. And boy was I right! While having Benny for the past year, I have learned that he is a couture puppy since he is a Bichon-Poodle hybrid, he was probably a year old when I saved the little tyke and he snores when he sleeps.  Sad to say, he was only 11 pounds when I adopted him and now he is a chubby little pup weighing 25 pounds. 

After a long day at work, I look forward to coming to him most…even more so than my real life boyfriend! As most love dog-lovers, I sometimes forget that he isn’t human…but I think if Benny could talk he would be eternally grateful for giving him a second chance.  While there are millions of Benny’s out there, it’s nice to have a constant reminder of how rewarding it feels to help others!
