Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it.

Glee!

Glee (gle) n: great merriment (syn: hilarity), malicious satisfaction (syn: gloat).

This is Fox.com’s definition of the word.  And I gotta say, their new show Glee promises both definitions.

Did y’all watch the special premiere?  It aired right after the penultimate episode of American Idol (meh – don’t care who wins).

Glee was wonderful.  The music was great (Journey, Aretha, Les Mis), and the singers all have powerful voices.  A few of them have previous experience, but for many, this is their first major gig.

I am too excited about this show to properly blog about it right now – so just go watch it already!!!

I can’t wait until the next episode airs.   I also can’t wait to see Kristin Chenoweth on the show.  I think she’d be a perfect fit for the show as a substitute teacher or district administrator.  Someone who has to drop in every once in a while, but finds herself drawn to the glee club and through her interest in them, reawakens a passion from her past (of course she’d have to sing – it’s Kristin!).

Those are just my thoughts for now.

In other random news: Dollhouse, Chuck, Fringe, and  Southland were all picked up for additional seasons (so were many other shows, obviously, but those were the ones in jeopardy).

Also, I have a new home!  My roommates Jocelyn and Gretchen and I signed a lease on a new place on Monday and we’re moving in!  I’m still in Valley Village (so still close to work), but the new place has a pool.  So come party, y’all!
