That sounds good but I don't know what Glee is :)

Darkm wrote: "That sounds good but I don't know what Glee is :)..."

Glee is an American TV show about a high school glee club (show choir). The music is awesome and while the story lines are sometimes over the top, each episode delivers a message of hope, tolerance, and inclusion. The show prominently features gay characters and handles the issues they face with respect and acceptance.

That sounds like something I would really enjoy. Thank you for the link :)

3. TV Show: Top Chef..."

I'm in Canada so we are usually a bit behind in Top Chef (we haven't started desserts yet, July 11), but we just had Top Chef Canada (well, it's still going on) and my daughter and I just can't get into it. Maybe we're too bland. After the big gay bear who moved to Canada to marry his sweetheart (how cute is that?) got eliminated and the guy with cool accent from New Foundland left, blah. I'm hoping desserts is better.

Kerry, I love Adele! I can listen to her all day long.

Oh, are you Team Jacob? ;)

There are some seasons I have a hard time getting into, too. I really liked Top Chef All-Stars, but I'm not a huge Top Chef Masters fan.
