For those of you who have the fortune to not know of this abomination, I am not going to allow myself to be the only person who knows of the horrors "gracing" our televisions at 8 on Wednesday nights. The first episode was featured around a new student to a conservative high school who joined the Glee Club. Because of course, this is a conservative high school, the glee club can only do songs that are on the approved list. Since in this day and age, nobody can understand that fantastic performances can come from perfectly modest people without raunchy dances (See the Finnish acapella group Loituma and their performance of Ievan Polka. It may be Finnish Polka but darn it, they can sing!), New Girl decides to go against the rules of the school and convinces the Glee Club to do a horrible song and dance number that would NEVER be allowed to be performed in any school under the Sun, no matter how liberal. The crowd goes nuts with happy- I'm burying my face in a throw cushion and crying from the sheer awfulness of it. Of course, the sh!t hits the fan and the coach of the cheerleaders realises that should the Glee Club be allowed free reign of whatever they do, they will *GASP* become more popular than the cheerleaders. HAHAHAHA!!!! LIKE A GLEE CLUB COULD EVER BE MORE POPU
OH WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!!!
Amidst all of the sorry excuse for a plot is a second plot, equally horrible to the first. This one is centered around the teacher in charge of the glee club as he struggles with his wife and stuff. You know what, this series is just so lame, I'm going to just wrap the rest up in a nutshell. I'm seriously bored with this review.
*ahem*
The script was awkward, the plot boring, the acting was horrendous and it was so freaking obvious that all the music is lip synched. This series is just BAD. Kirsten Chenowith is doing herself no favours by appearing in this show.

Well, no trip to Shenzen would be complete without a mani/pedi, am I right? So, we're sitting in the shop and this really horrible anime comes on. By horrible, I mean the animation was lazy (as in they couldn't be arsed to animate two different sides of a conversation at once! C'mon people!) and it was just plain horrible. The series is Lovely Idol.
According to what I could make of it, there are these two singing groups and a group of girls unbelievably jealous of them so they start training to be like them. Mixed in the middle of this appears to be the only male on the series and the animators can't be bothered to show him moving when he's having a conversation with someone and he's not the one speaking. This dude appears to be the manager of sorts and he finds this girl who plays guitar and sings good. Sounds like your average shojo anime, yes? Well, it is to be honest. After doing some research, I discovered that the episode I watched was in fact, the pilot. Ok, here's the clip the series started with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTQ
Ugh, it's 1:35 in the morning. I just wanted to get that off my chest.
Based on the one episode, I can safely say that Lovely Idol is a horrible anime. The only reason worth watching it would be for the fanservice girls and even then, compared to other shojo anime I've seen, even the fanservice is mediocre. Watch Gravitation or Sola instead for your band/shojo fix. Don't waste your time with this crap.

Back in December, I found out I'd be moving back to the US of A because of my dad's work. We're leaving in a couple of weeks and even though I've pretty much accepted it, it's getting kind of hard to say goodbye to everyone. On Wednesday, I said goodbye to my best friend Whaleabc. She's going on a month long trip to Namibia as part of our school's World Challenge activity and comes back just DAYS after I leave. We've been BFFs since like, year 9 and I just felt so sad knowing I'm not going to see her until I come back. Even yesterday I said goodbye to my friend *struggles to come up with pseudonym* Checkmate. We were in Wizard of Oz together and became really close. I couldn't hug her too often or too hard. It was really sad.
In other news, I've picked up one of my old hobbies: roleplaying. If anyone out there is interested in a one on one, my website is www.freewebs.com/red-nailpolish .... the name there is a pseudonym too. Nyah! ;P
I like fake names. I don't know how many I've used. My favourite is Lynn Morganson. I'm still looking for an excuse to use Breeze Delaney. I remember once, when I was like 14, the one I used was Katze Lynn Koumori. Looking back, I should've known better.

Well, from sneaking frequent looks at the tv in my office, I can rightly say that I hate soap operas more than ever now. All My Children, One Life To Live and General Hospital all have similar opening sequences. General Hospital has the best opening theme song though. Jim Belushi still isn't funny. The last episode I listened to (I couldn't stand watching it) had fart jokes that were supposed to be "hilarious", incidents with those heart starting machine thingies at hospitals and (best of all) a buffalo headbutting JiB. I cheered at that moment.
On Wednesday, the most amazing thing happened at the radio station! I was just archiving (as per usual) and Stan, one of the DJs doing the morning show came up to me and asked if I could come with him for a few moments. So I followed him around the office while he got a couple of the other interns and lead us into the recording studio. All he wanted us to do was say the the words "It's coming!" any way we wanted and he recorded each of us individually. It was so cool!!!
I was watching Comedy Central this morning because I have today off at the radio station. That is one awesome channel. Why don't we get it where I live? I also watched an episode of "Wife Swap". This particular episode had a mother who most likely has OCD and over-protectiveness issues swap lives with a mother living in a cluttered house with her magician family. I wouldn't mind being on that show when I'm older....
Happy 4th of July to all who celebrate it!! Ty Mew, over and out!

The title says it all. Jim Belushi is not funny. "Why do I bring this up?" you ask. Well, my new desk at my office is in a room which airs a television channel that the station I work at produces. The tv is on all the time so while I was archiving, I snuck (that's a word on my planet!) frequent looks at the shows. Unfortunately, "According to Jim" was on. That is an awful show if I've ever seen one. I don't know why it's so awful, it's just really, really bad.
Synopsis of the episode I had the misfortune to watch: Jim's wife is sick and his daughter is having a birthday party. So of course, JiB (the title of JB is reserved for Jack Black, one of the greatest comedians ever) hosts the prissy pink party which involves little girls wearing the same outfits as their dolls and having a tea party. Considering this is Jim Belushi, the little girls somehow find water guns or something and wreck havoc on the party after the birthday girl has a firing squad turn on her doll. It was a really bad episode. But they didn't stop at that! No! They have to show another episode along with this madness!! This one involved JiB and his friend Andy getting a fight over who won the 75 free milkshakes at a baseball game because JiB had something or other to do and he gave the winning seat to Andy. Long story short: After a court case run by JiB's kids, both Andy and JiB trying to bribe the "judges", a milkshake drinking contest and a random, unneccesary appearance by Cole and Dylan Sprouse, JiB's kids get the milkshakes. It was MADNESS!!! And I don't mean the chihuahua from Invader Zim.
My grandmother and I were waiting for people to test the fire alarm at our store's new location. The appointment was at 1:30, we left at 4:15 after a no show, they arrive at 4:30. I've got a bad sunburn on my shoulders now =(. And I think I sweat off some weight =). You think people would have more respect for something as important as this!! My grandmother's gone to meet up with them at the new store so here I am.
I heard from my mom that Pita Ming is doing much better. Still pretty bad, but he'll last the rest of the week. YAY!!!!

My mother is making me learn how to type while I'm here. My grandmother used to be a typing teacher so my mom decided that I should learn how to type. Hours and hours of typing "lass lass lass", "urn urn urn", "and; and; and;" and "a nun sang a nun sang" can be a real pain in the lass. Whatever. Maybe if I practise some more, I can be an email support person at Neopets! =D
I got word from my house that my cat Pita isn't doing too good. He's really old and frail and I love him to pieces. I talked to my mom on the phone yesterday and she says he's pooping all over the floor, hiding in dark places and not eating as much any more. She thinks he won't last the week. I think so too. Pita's eighteen which is very old for a cat and he's been overweight all my life. As he got older, he got cataracts, arthritis and tendonitis. My friend Ren who works at the vet says that Pita Ming's a medical miracle. Before I went to sleep last night, I thought about Pita Ming and how I wish I could've hugged him one last time before I left. Just as I was drifting off, I could've sworn an angel was giving me a hug.

I've been saying it for years now. McDonalds is trying to control all the world with it's fattening food and general commercialism. However, now I have truly realised exactly how disasterous it truly is. The reason McDonalds is evil is because.....
.....
BECAUSE OF ALL THE PAPERWORK IT GIVES THE COMPANIES IT ADVERTISES WITH!!!!
Especially the paperwork the summer intern has to sort out. =( That's me. Ty Mew - the paperwork girl. I should be some kinda superhero for dealing with all that stuff. No seriously!!! The McDonalds folder at the radio station is like 2-3 inches thick!!!! That's only the folder for the one channel out of like, six. (The radio station I work at has 6 different stations.) McDonalds is the bane of my existence!!!!! You think they could make it easier on me. -_-" When asked to check the station they wanted to air the commercial on, instead of just filling out multiple forms which would've only taken like 10 extra minutes at the most, McDonalds decided to check multiple boxes. I had no idea under which station to file the forms!!! =(
I don't like McDonalds' paperwork is pretty much the message to take away from this sermon. (Yay Family Guy quotes!!!)

I'm living with my grandmother on this island in the Pacific for the summer and I'm working in her CD store. I'm also working at my aunt's radio station. That's what I get for having exams that end before school does. Oy. Send me off to an island that only a few people have heard of. When I told my ICT teacher what I was gonna do over the summer, she was absolutely shocked that there are actually people who live here, not just people in the military or expats. Jeez, thanks Mrs. P. I'm like, related to half the island. -_-"
