My GLEEful Summer Starts NOW!

I felt the presence of angels on Sunday night, and I think I can die a happy woman now. The only problem with that is I’d miss the remaining episodes of the Oxygen network’s new show, The Glee Project.

Take 1 part Glee, 1 part American Idol and 1 part (preferably the eyes) Darren Criss, and you get my new reason for living.

This show is a dream come true for anyone who ever fantasizes about a) getting on Glee,  b) casting the talent on Glee, or c) making Darren Criss uncomfortable with your crazy eyes (click here and skip to minute 8:47). During the first ‘intro’ episode, they narrowed it down from 40,000+  to just 12 contestants, who will now compete for a 7 episode contract on Glee. 7 episodes? You know I’m going to say it: AMAZEBALLS!

I’ve got my eye on the nerdy guy (top right) and the one in dreadlocks, what about you?

P.S. – For some clips, as well as exposure to another fly WordPress blog, click here.

P.P.S. – In case you didn’t know, it’s now 2 days and counting ’til the first NJ Glee concert, so if you’re expecting any other kind of subject matter this week, slushie in the face for you!

Boob Tubing with River Dan

Go Jules Go

My darling husband would like to submit this commercial, which he legitimately just saw on television this morning (is this the price we pay for living in western New Jersey? Or the reward?), for your guilty pleasure consideration, particularly, the last 5 seconds.

Hint: it gets funnier the more times you watch it.

Guilty Pleasures, Big and Small

Go Jules Go

You know what, guilty pleasure buttercups? I bet you think this post is going to be all about Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards, especially the part where they showed a sneak peek of “Breaking Dawn.” And also when the adorable Emma Watson introduced a “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” trailer. Oh and when Robert Pattinson kissed Taylor Lautner for the ‘Best Kiss’ acceptance speech!

Well, I want to, I really, really do. I mean, come on. Nothing says guilty pleasure like a 29-year-old staying up way past her bedtime -not to mention sitting through full, MTV-length commercials- to watch the cast of Jackass don laser boners.

Master Thespians

But I fear I’m becoming too predictable. So, without further ado, I present to you:

Mini Warbler! This kid even got Darren Criss‘s attention via Twitter! (All right, all right. This was pretty predictable. I can’t help myself.)

And click here to check out a hilarious clip of the Gleeks hanging out backstage on the “Glee Live” tour. One week and two days ’til they come to Jersey! Is anyone going to see Darren Criss perform solo at Irving Plaza on June 15th???

GOGP’s Guilty Flavor(s) of the Week(s): Cram Session Edition!

Go Jules Go

Teeny tiny guilty pleasure nubbins, it’s been a while -too long, I know, I hear your desperate cries- since I’ve posted, so I thought: what better way to make it up to you than to share some of the MANY guilty pleasures I’ve indulged in since last week (like how Blaine L-O-V-E-S Kurt! HELLO! Totally watched that scene 5 10 times, what about you??)!?!

And it’s all happening RIGHT NOW!

It is so much better than finally painting the living room ceiling to cover up where your husband fell

Your American Idol, Scotty McCreery

through [from the attic] almost 1 year ago (and you wonder where I’ve been)!

It is massively sweeter than ordering Mexican food and trying to eat it all with 1 teaspoon of sour cream and ZERO guacamole!!

And, you might never forgive me for this, but it is without a doubt phat-er than watching Alfred E. Neuman become the next American Idol!!!

This week’s Guilty Flavor of the Week goes to…

Keebler Fudge Shoppe Cheesecake Middles!

"Do NOT buy these!"

Actually, I really AM kidding about this. I wish I wasn’t –you know how I love those elves– but these are DISGUSTING. It was too good to be true, I suppose.

This week’s REAL Guilty Flavor(s) of the Week(s) goes to:

You be the judge!!!

1.) How about this Colbert Report credit roll? Look at the Gaffer name!

I can’t remember exactly what a Gaffer is, but I’m fairly certain it doesn’t warrant a name regal enough to…well, do anything but gaff things.

2.) Or maybe this episode of HGTV’s Income Property?

Does anyone else see something wrong with this rental apartment bathroom art?? But at least it answers the age-old question, how do aliens get off?

 3.) I see. You need something more. Well, okay. Here you go: Robert Pattinson SINGING!

I promised you some of this so long ago, and now look, even Perez Hilton’s uncovered the awesomeness (click here for the article)!

P.S. – if that’s still not enough R-Patz for you, hunker down for this hilariously revealing Ellen interview:

GOGP’s Guilty Flavor of the Week – Week 5!!

Go Jules Go

This week’s GOGP Flavor of the Week is not even going to mess around. Except to say that:

It’s way awesomer than those restroom hand dryers that are so strong they blow your skin around your knuckles in a super-creepy way!

It is unbelievably keener than when your dog gives your knee a lick of thanks every time you give him food or water!!

And, this is going to be hard to imagine, but I promise you that it is mind-frenchingly cooler than when you found out the only difference between your DNA and chimpanzees’ is a mere 2%!!!

THIS week’s Guilty Flavor of the Week honor goes to…

Glee’s little Dancing Queen! Go Kurt!


I’m totally not kidding! This week’s Glee prom episode was amazing!

The REAL Guilty Flavor of the Week award is also bestowed upon the ever-glorious Glee’s prom episode:

For using the word MERKIN! It is so not just for family Scategories anymore!!

P.S. – You’re welcome for the stellar ‘documentary-style’ footage.

A NOTE-worthy Guilty Pleasure

Go Jules Go

There’s nothing better than a guilty pleasure born of what shouldn’t be funny, but in fact soooo is! I have 3 notes to share with you, and the best part is they’re all real. As in, I’ve seen them with my own two beady little eyes just this past week!

#1 – Dangerous Mind

My husband has been helping out a new fellow teacher at work, whose taste in memo pads makes a little piece of him die inside. Last week, he left her an ‘inspirational’ note, quoting one of her many memo pads. Just to see if she would notice. She didn’t. She now operates under the very false assumption that my husband is a dream-weaver, and, well, I really can’t think of anything better.

#2 – The Backed-Up Boy Who Lived

Spotted this weekend outside of our local Wal-Mart, there’s no way this can be considered vandalism.

#3 – Neighborly Love Hate

A dear (the dearest) friend of mine often receives notes like this from her neighbor, which is something to consider if you’re thinking about moving into a gated community. This note is one of many from Unit 12 and will be filed with the rest – under Trashy Fiction.

GOGP’s Guilty Flavor of the Week – Week 4!!!

Go Jules Go

Oh my, guilty pleasure pumpkins, you want MORE this week? Kate and William put on a magnificent hat show, I mean, got married, and we slayed bin Laden and threw his corpse into the ocean! Well okay, I know, like me, you’ll never be satisfied, so here we go…

GOGP‘s Guilty Flavor of the Week is coming to you RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND!

It’s like the time you got Famous Amos cookies from the vending machine at work and TWO packages fell out!!

It’s so much awesomer than the moment you realized you were old enough to start swearing without getting in trouble!!!

And it’s so, so much better than winning the lottery, blowing it all on fast cars and gambling while extended family members crawl out of the woodwork asking why you don’t love them enough to pay off their debt!!!!

This week’s Guilty Flavor of the Week award goes to…

HOARDING the best Easter basket filler ever:

…just kidding (not really at all).

This week’s REAL Guilty Flavor of the Week honor goes to…

The Daily Show’s May 2nd Moment of Zen! Wrong but oh-so-right, like any true guilty pleasure:

It’s every bit as nifty as the first time you tried Dunkaroos!!!

And it makes all of your wishes and dreams pale in comparison!!!!

This week’s renowned Guilty Flavor of Week award goes to:

COMPLAINING! Isn’t it great when you can torture your co-workers with another rant on gas prices and the lines at Panera!?!

(…just kidding…kinda.)

Sketchy Artist

Go Jules Go
I don't wanna wait!

Celebrity portraits have got to be the first cousin of fan fiction. I know a lot about celebrity portraits. Not because I know the name of anyone who does this for a living, but because I personally spent many hours drawing Kate Winslet and the various Dawson’s Creek cast members.

When it comes to sketching, people are a lot more interesting than plants, and celebrities are the

Rainbow Eyes!

ultimate muse. Drawing anybody borders on creepy, and if you’ve ever tried this yourself, you know what I mean. Even in an age of high-definition television, there’s really no reason you should know that your best friend has a freckle like a fried egg or that Kate Bosworth has two different colored eyes (okay, everyone should know that. That’s wild).

Even J.T.T. gave good brow.

I always start with the left eyebrow and eye, then the nose, the mouth, the right eyebrow and eye and finally the outline of the face and hair. I’m not sure if my interest in eyebrows created this pattern, or if it came about because of this process. Justin Timberlake has great eyebrows. In fact,

They're amazing.

all of the actors I like do: Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Pattinson, Darren Criss and of course, Peter

Gallagher. No one rivals Peter Gallagher’s eyebrows. It must be a measure of testosterone levels or something. All I know for sure is you’d better have some bushy brows and nice teeth before you’re getting on my sketch pad.

Ryan Phillippe - it looks just like him!

You might be wondering how someone could be as blessed as me; unparalleled writing and artistic gifts? I understand your frustration. If it makes you feel any better, I’m also a really good cook.
