I Suck At Glee

Tuesday turned out to be quite the day to be a couch potato for Karen, our baby daughter (Briana) and I. The highlight of the evening was the season premiere of Glee. Now I suck at Glee, but the show is just so silly and fun that it makes me laugh.

The silliness in the season premiere that had cracked me up was the storyline involving two of the Asian characters on the show. Apparently, the two Asian characters (Tina and Mike) became a couple over the summer at Asian camp. The concept of an Asian camp just cracked me up.

I'm actually probably one of the worst genetic Asians around, but does Asian camp really exist? I do not want to attend or anything. I was just curious if such a thing existed. The idea just made me chuckle. Is there a comparable White camp?

Anyway, the season premiere of the show was great. Speaking of premieres, this week was the premiere of two other shows that Karen and I were interested in as well. Those shows were: Hawaii Five-O and Castle.

Castle was entertaining as usual. And surprisingly, Hawaii Five-O was pretty good. I was a little hesitant about Hawaii Five-O because I thought the original series was pretty cheesy. But, to my surprise, the reboot of the show was pretty entertaining. And I suppose, how could the show not be entertaining when the villain in the first episode was none other than James Marsters of Buffy fame.

And truth be told, the only reason why I was so receptive to watching Hawaii Five-O this time around was because Daniel Dae Kim from Lost is in the show. That actually might have been Karen's excuse too, although she told me that her dad used to watch it when she was growing up.

Regardless, the new season of television has been pretty good so far. Karen and I spent a good chunk of Tuesday just watching television, with Glee's premiere, and the other two shows recorded on our DVR. That was something that we had not done in a long while: spending a bunch of time vegging out in front of the television together. It was nice.

And naturally, when Karen and Briana went to bed, I continued my movie addiction with watching The Unborn.

(The video below is a trailer for The Unborn.)


For anyone curious, the film is a horror flick about a woman who is tormented by a dybbuk. A dybbuk is from Jewish folklore. It is a spirit that possesses people. In the case of the movie, it's an evil spirit that wants to enter this world by using the woman's death as the gateway. Gary Oldman stars as the rabbi who helps the woman in her battle with the dybbuk.

The movie was okay. The film really was not that scary. In fact, it was somewhat predictable with the ending. Nevertheless, I had to watch it of course.
