Hungry for Apples

Song du jour-21 Guns (Green Day ft. Cast of American Idiot)

It finally struck me today that it truly is Fall, and already the middle of October. It's an obvious sort of observation but a surprising one nontheless.  

Not sure how you feel Fall arrive if you live in say, Florida, but in the Northeast, you definatly notice the day when you can no longer get away with wearing a skirt without leggings and a jacket becomes a must-have in the mornings. Apparently, its snuck up on me this year and when I discovered that certain crispness in the air that characterizes Fall, it made me want to go apple picking. For real. I honestly don't think I've been apple picking since a second grade field trip, which clearly means I'm due for one soon. Already excited thinking about it, and as it is october 13th already, I'm going to have to get cracking on a Halloween costume idea. Thinking Lady Gaga, that should be fun :)

Gleefully

Song du jour- Anyway You Want It/Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'(Glee Cast)
I'm a total Gleek, I'll confess and if you are a Glee skeptic, watch an episode, any episode, and you will be hooked. It is the one and only show I follow regularly (although I do Tivo the Mentalist) and well worth the weekly wait. The variety of music and the simply amazing voices that perform it would probably be enough for me to be an addict even without the intricate plotline. Theres everything from a love triangle and an inter-teacher war to real life issues such as being gay, social pressure and faith in something bigger then yourself.

Oh yeah, and then theres Jane Lynch who plays the role of cheerleader coach Sue Sylvester. The show is worth  watching simply for her hilarious straight face delivery of lines like "

''I will no longer be carrying around photo ID. Know why? People should know who I am.''

''I'm all about empowerment. I empower my Cheerios to live in a state of constant fear by creating an environment of irrational, random terror.''

So at 7:59 tonight  I'll be curled up on the couch with pretzels and a mug of hot chocolate, ready to watch the most addicting show ever. If your evening plans aren't the same, I invite you to join the Gleeks of America in watching it.
