I AM NOW IN POSSESSION OF THE NEW SUGARLAND ALBUM! Which doesn't get released until next Tuesday. IT IS SO, SO WONDERFUL. GO BUY THE INCREDIBLE MACHINE ON TUESDAY. OR, PURCHASE IT FROM ITUNES, BECAUSE IT IS SO, SO, SO, SO GLORIOUS. I am hoping that the one they release on Tuesday is a deluxe edition and will have more songs, because my only real complaint is that I WANT MOOOOOOOORE. They actually sang more than half of the songs on this album at the concert that I went to, so I had heard quite a bit of it already. I adore how it sounds so very different from their previous albums (and actually, their last album sounded very different from their previous ones as well), so, I am enjoying how they keep sort of reinventing their sound while still keeping their same wonderful Sugarland flair. THEY ARE AMAZING, I LOVE THEM SO FREAKING MUCH.

In other news, I really enjoyed Glee last night. Particularly the Kurt/Rachel duet. And the fact that they actually managed to bring some depth to the Brittany character. I found Rachel and Finn to be conceited beyond belief, especially since everyone else's duets totally kicked their asses, but, what else is new? Actually, I felt that they sang that Born Again song way better than they did "Don't go Breaking My Heart" (and, really, during the whole Don't Go Breaking My Heart sequence all I could think was, "Ugh, they really can't even compare to the awesomeness of Marshall and Lily." So, apparently, I've gotten it into my head that Marshall and Lily from HIMYM are the ONLY characters allowed to sing that song now).

Raising Hope was so utterly hilarious. They pulled off the whole family portrait storyline so much better than Modern Family did, particularly getting the genuinely happy family moment. I'M SORRY, YOU KNOW I LOVE MODERN FAMILY, but yeah, this show did it in a much more natural/believable/non-gagable way. I particularly loved the flashback of them in the ski suits in 90 degree weather and Burt getting his boot stuck between the pedals. And Jimmy eating his hair. And Maw Maw singing the song after Virginia kicked the radio in. Basically, I loved everything about the episode. I'm pretty sure this is my favorite new show of the year.

Running Wilde was also completely hilarious. Particularly the overly long montage of Steve not knowing how to wash a car. Also, MULTIPLE MAN KISSES. And Fa'ad's New York accent! It was a cute ep.

Also, last night I finished watching this K-drama called I am Sam, and most people say it's total crack and not very good and they only watched it for T.O.P. but you know what? I FREAKING LOVED THIS DRAMA. Which probably shouldn't be surprising since it was a teacher/student romance that was also about a hapless teacher being inspiring to students that everyone else had given up on. It totally had a bit of a Dead Poets' Society vibe to it. Also, the show itself was so ridiculously hilarious, and the romance was super adorable and surprisingly deep by the end of the series, and despite the fact that the girl's father was a mobster, there really wasn't that much high drama in this (the last episode was a bit ridiculous in the drama department, but not as ridiculous as most dramas with a similar relationship). I think the only thing I was disappointed with was the ending, because, well, it was a little jarring, but hey, at least it was happy!

LMAO, I APPROVE. I wish I watched K-dramas. And hey, it got a happy ending? Bonus! I thought there was like a rule that everything had to have a tragic ending basically going 'rocks fall, everyone dies', no? Was I misinformed? O.o

Korean rom-coms generally end so happily that the sweetness will give you cavities (though there are a few exceptions). Melodramas generally make you bawl your eyes out and could go either way, though it is more likely to end tragically than not (I am currently watching this one drama about step-siblings who fall in love and it is so angsty and completely tragic). Revenge/action dramas could also go either way, but you can guarantee that at least half of the characters will be dead by the end of the show (if not ALL of them).

BUT HOW DID YOU FEEL ABOUT THE KURT/SAM?? :O

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, THEY ARE FAR MORE INTERESTING THAN SAM/QUINN. And I was kind of bummed that Sam wasn't actually gay. But at least he didn't have a problem with Kurt (unlike Finn. I used to ship the heck out of Finn/Kurt, but the episode where Finn kept using the word "faggy" kind of ruined that ship for me).

There have been alot of spoilers about this and I will say that just because Sam said he wasn't gay (and was very shifty eyed when he did it) doesn't mean that it's true.
