RuPaul's Drag U

I think I died and went to heaven. I was so sad that the last episode of Drag Race was last night. That means like 8 months until the next season, if we're lucky. No more drag queens means a very sad Josh. But something happened, something AMAZING.

RUPAUL'S DRAG U!!!!

I don't know what the hell it is, but I'm all for it. The fact also that it's all the queens we've grown to love. Ongina, Pandora, JuJuBee and NINA!!! I seriously might be more excited for this than the next season of Drag Race. Now the dog days of summer look a little more gay, and I'm all for it.

There's Madonna in my Glee!

Now some people may say, why make a whole episode of Glee about Madonna?? And to those people I would like to say: Get out of your pickups with your Rebel Flags on the back and open your years! Oh and stop beating up gays that is sooo 90s. I'm going to make this post as simple as possible. What I liked and what I didn't like. Yes, I did not find the episode to be perfect, but it was really good. Better than last weeks for sure.

What I Disliked: Let's get the the bad stuff out of the way so we can end on a high note. Number one yet again is Finn. I don't like Finn no matter how hard I try. He is boring...oh so boring. Also I don't like his voice, it's whinny. Sorry to the Finn fanatics out there, but he is my least favorite character. And in this episode he butchered my favorite Madge song "Open Your Heart". I don't think I can forgive him after that. Please replace him with Johnathan Groff, I'm begging you Glee gods.

The only other thing I disliked was the whole Sue Sylvester LOVES Madonna storyline, it seemed really forced. It wasn't believable, because there was no strong reasoning. In the episode where we find out Sue's sister has downs syndrome and thats why she was hard on the girl trying out; THAT was believable. If there was a quick back story as to why Sue LOVED Madonna it might have worked better.

What I Liked!: The music obviously. They really made Madonna's music fit. And the whole environment in school where everyone was dressed like her was cute and worked.

I LOVED that Kurt and Mercedes got the spotlight this time!! There are my favorites so it made me smile. The line Kurt said to Sue "We make culture" was just true! They made the right song choice for them and it really was the best performance in the whole episode.

I liked the "Like a Virgin" part, cause with Madonna you need some sex.

I loved that we got to see more of Tina, cause we should see ALOT more of her. She's got comedic timing, give her some damn lines!

And as always Miss Sue Sylvester rocked everyones comedic panties off. Jane Lynch cannot get enough praise from me. I've loved her for years, and it seems like that once in a lifetime phenomenon where the perfect part is given to the perfect actress happened. Her timing is impeccable, and she has now been placed beside my all time favorite comedic actress, Bea Arthur. Jane Lynch should be getting a truck load of Emmys for this part.

I have to say the lack of Quinn has been a good thing, cause it was Quinn pregnant overload before. I would like to see her character blossom more this season and for her to become a person rather than a preggo teen caricature.

So all in all it was a great episode. And they truly did justice to Madonna's lifetime of work.

Neil Patrick Harris, GAY HERO!

I love NPH. LOVE HIM. Not just because he's cute, funny, and intelligent but also because he's out and proud. Not many people like that in the world *cough*Anderson Cooper*cough*. Below is a clip from The View that speaks for itself.

Also because I love you all, here is the interview with another hilarious, out celeb Leslie Jordan. Better known as Beverly Leslie from Will and Grace.

Open your Heart to Glee

Reminder! The Madonna Episode of Glee is tonight!! Will definitely be making a post after it!

Oh David....

So anyone remember David Archuleta? Had one hit song after Idol. Anyone? Thought so.

I really don't care much about this young Idol castoff myself. But there is one thing that I always wondered. Is he gay? Cause have you seen him...he's probably gay. I won't say positively, but let's just say him and Ricky Martin careers seem to have some thing in common.

But the reason I bring him up is because he was seen in a gay club last night. *GASP! Shock!* Well he tweeted that it "wasn't his kind of place" and he should of asked where he was going before hand.

This of course pissed of the gays. Which I know is kind of ridiculous, but when your beat down by your own government everyday, you tend to get on edge.

Then the tweeted (I love the fact that all this was tweeted! New ways for celebs to get into trouble.) that he didn't mean that because it was a gay club, but because he does not like the "party scene".

Now you can take this two ways, one is that he's a homophob and was trying to cover his tracks. Which I'm almost 100% sure is not the case.

OR

He was in a gay club, spotted in said gay club, freaked out cause he is in the closet, and tweeted without thinking.

Hey gays, remember when you were in high school, and in the closet, and you thought someone might get too close to finding out so you OVERCOMPENSATED. You either said you hated gay people or man whored it up with some over eager girl.

And no Mr. Archuleta I did not point any of that in your direction at all. Even though I've seen you on tape and know just like the rest of America what you are...Allegedly.

Multi tasking. Sort Of.

I've created a new site for all my Geeky posts, named I Prefer Geek. So if you like those post head over there.

This one will be just for my random musings. When I actually update. I'll try to do more often, I promise.

Florence kicks some ass with her machine

I've stumbled upon this new artist, named Florence. Hailing from the island of Britain, she has done something that I really wasn't expecting. She has created something different. Not Lady Gaga different, where you put a new sheen on something that we've heard before. My dear Florence has actually taken many different genres and fused them to best suite her voice. Which in my humble opinion is what being a true artist of music does. Much like Amy Winehouse, really though we all know that was alot of Mark Ronson's doing. But Florence writes her own music, and also collaborates with many other musicians that she says knows her and her process (hence the machine). Listen below, I like and hope you do too. This is my favorite song off the album.

Let's Start Again, with some Vampire Slaying!

It's 2010 and I feel like the time to start my blog up again is nigh. In this first blog of the new year, it will be almost a retrospect, but really not. It will blow your mind (probably not, but lets pretend). I'm going to talk about one of the most important things of my high school life, but also something that I get to enjoy every month in print comic form. That's right noble gay geek readers, its BUFFY!!!

Now for all that maybe lived under a rock in the late 1990s to early 2000s, Buffy was all the rage. It was a show that was about, yes vampire slaying, but really more so about the relationships that Buffy and her best friends (nicknamed "The Scoobies") had with one another.

During the course of it's 7 year run, Buffy died twice, Angel died once, Spike became a goody goody, and Willow blossomed into a lesbian. All this is so much more than I think I have seen any show ever do; especially on the "character becoming gay" storyline. It was the first, and it did it well. Willow coming out of the closet, for me personally, was the biggest TV moment of my teen years. More on that later in the post.

Buffy is something that I can watch over and OVER again. Joss Whedon, the show's creator for those rock people, is someone that I would follow to Neverland if he asked me to. He seems to always create worlds, not just in Buffy, that come to life and make you want to invest. He has his finger on my geek pulse, and I'm better for it. I suggest if this post makes you want to watch Buffy again or for the first time you also check out Whedon's other works: Firefly and Dollhouse.

I wanted to go over my favorite parts of Buffy with a LIST!! I don't know why I haven't done lists in past blogs, cause I love them. Countdowns are my favorite! So here we go...!

Favorite Things from the Buffyverse

10. The Bevy of Killed Off Characters

Now Buffy was known for kicking some Vampire ass, but it was also known for killing lots and lots of people. Remember Jenny Calender, Angel did her in when he went all bloodlusty. Larry is another, oh poor Larry, he was gay and got killed by the Mayor. And my last favorite was Kendra, the African American, ultra hip slayer that was a good foil to miss whitey prom queeny Buffy. She was like Buffy but with more edge. Sadly Drusilla gets the best of her, which was really weak and a total let down, btw! Getting killed by hypnotism...quite anticlimactic.

9. The Episode "Hush"

This is the best stand alone episode of Buffy, ever. It centers around demons named The Gentlemen who steal your voice then cut out your heart. Intense is the least you can say about this episode. Willow running around trying to yell for help but can't with the Gentlemen right behind her, classic. Plus the Gentlemen might be the scariest looking of all the Buffy baddies.

8. The Musical Episode "Once More with Feeling"

Joss Whedon started something copied by many other shows, the musical episode. A demon is conjured that makes everyone sing what they feel. Its funny, the music is downright addictive, and there is even a major plot point of that season at the end. Its a great episode and I think that everyone should see it, Buffy fan or not.

7. The End of Season 6 and Dark Willow

HOLY SHIT!! That sums up the end of season 6 for me. Tara being shot and killed and Willow going all veiny and evil. It is something that I can't fully explain because it this the end of the season and it's like the lid flying off a pot of boiling water. I also love it because story wise it was a point that the characters could never come back from. They had crossed lines that they couldn't uncross, and it made the next season that much better.

6. Buffy's Boyfriends

A nice part for the ladies, and men who don't like ladies that way are the parade of men that Buffy let ravish her. My personal favorite was Riley, he was the college Abercrombie hunk and had that whole military thing too. Angel was sensitive and Spike was a bad boy, but they still didn't beat Riley. Trust me when I say there might be a notebook of mine with his name written all over it.

5. The incarnation of Dawn Summers

Alot of Buffy fans would disagree with me on this one, but I think that Dawn brought a shift to Buffy's character that she needed. Buffy was always more or less concerned with Buffy, but Dawn brought her into a more mature and parental light. I also love how when they brought her onto the show Whedon did it in a way that we all had no clue what was going on. I thought it was genius how everyone knew who Dawn was except the audience and then he turned it around during the course of the season. It was incredibly engaging to be a part of.

4. Andrew Wells

Oh my dear and lovely Andrew. He tried to kill Buffy and the Scooby Gang which lead to Tara's ultimate death, but Andrew's true stride in the series was when he became a part of the gang in season 7. He is the comic relief of the season, but he does it so well that I welcomed it with full heart. Plus he's most likely gay, but has no clue which just adds to his fun character.

3. Faith's Redemption

Now I love Buffy, but if I had to pick a slayer to go on a cruise with it would most definitely be Faith. I loved how Faith was always a very complicated character. She always wanted to do the right thing but never had faith in herself (get the irony...oh Whedon). She always feel short and help the evil in Sunnydale because of all her issues. However the greatest thing Whedon ever did with Faith was turn her force powers to the light side. She finally became the slayer she was suppose to. It was something I wanted to see from first meeting the character of Faith, and I thank you for that Joss.

2. Willow

If you know me and see that Willow is number 2 you might be a little shocked. Willow Rosenberg will always be my favorite part of Buffy. Her character wins the most changed award of the series. I also love that she wears her emotions on her sleeve cause I personally identify with that. She wasn't the prom queen and wasn't the most confident, but in the end she became the most powerful of the Scooby Gang even more than Buffy herself. And as I said before, the gay thing was handled with the most class than any other TV series I have ever seen. Willow rocks my socks period.

1. The creation of Season 8

The best thing about Buffy is that it lives on in comics. Written and overseen by Joss Whedon himself. So far season 8 has been great with a slight slump in the middle. It is one of my favorites to read each month and they are really taking the characters to the next level. Its a great thing for the Buffyverse and for comics in general. And even other canceled shows have taken this cue and brought the continuing seasons in comic form. Once again Joss is on the cutting edge.

So that's it folks, starting off the new year right with talking about one of the most influential shows of the late 90s. It started a whole new trend of funny/dramatic/scary teen shows that still continues today *cough*Vampire Diaries*cough*. And even though I like the Twilight series, I know that Buffy could and would totally kick all of their asses.

BUFFY FTW!!!
