So my review of Glee wasn’t all that great. And yet I keep watching it. I realize the show is somewhat tongue-in-cheek and it’s supposed to be slightly-over-the-top.
I finally downloaded Journey’s Greatest Hits album from iTunes. It wasn’t just because of Glee. I’d been planning to for a long time, but hadn’t gotten around to it (being the world’s greatest procrastinator). The show just gave me that added push.
And also, may I say, this show is probably going to drive me nuts. Even before I downloaded the album, I couldn’t get “Don’t Stop Now” out of my head. And when I finally did, what popped in? “You’re the One that I Want.” “Rehab” probably would have, too, except I’d never heard it before. (You know, being an old fogie and all.)
The best news? I’d been thinking about joining a Sweet Adelines’ chorus for about 2 years. I was all set to last year when I broke my foot. But I checked the schedule and now seems to be a good time. Lots of rehearsals before their next performance.
It’s interesting; if you’d asked me what I’d be if I could do anything I wanted, most of my life I’d have said an actor. (Not for the fame. I just love the craft.) But you know what gives me the greatest joy? Singing. Go figure.
Oh, awesome! I’m so excited that you’ve decided to go for it! Joy is important.
And now you’ve put it out there, you’ve told us, so you’d better follow through.

It’s great that you decided to join a chorus. If singing gives you much joy, you couldn’t have made a better decision.

Over the weekend, my musings took me to the conclusion that if I had to become an artist, writing is the art I would have chosen, but acting was the greatest joy in my life when I was at school and then at college. I guess I love seeing characters come to life on a page or on stage/screen.
