It Gets Better

So Much For That

Apparently the people at work are more concerned with doing work than becoming glee club superstars. So we didn't get in even one rehearsal, never mind a submission video for Canada Sings.

Boo. :(

I guess I will just have to resume my campaign to be Rachel's Aunt through alternate means.

BTW, some jerk-hole said I was too ugly to be on Glee. I know I shouldn't let it hurt my feelings, but it did, and it does.

If you disagree, please leave a positive comment on my YouTube video. If for nothing, it'll at least make me feel better.

Canada Sings!

My soon-to-be-sister-in-law sent me this link: http://www.insighttv.com/canada_sings/

I almost had a heart attack when I read it. Within moments, I put together an email and sent it out to my co-workers. I've already got three who are in, a dance captain and a music coordinator.

I will get on a glee type TV show yet!!!!

Family Ties

It was announced that Carol Burnett will be guest starring as Sue Sylvester's (played to perfection by Jane Lynch) mother.

I'm hoping as they bring more family members onto the canvas, my bid to be Rachel's aunt will pan out.

Can you hear me Mr. Murphy?

I just hope that TPTB will still consider non-famous people for guest roles. Along with Carol Burnett, they've got Susan Boyle lined up for a guest spot in the Christmas episode, and Javier Bardem is being tapped to play a substitute Spanish teacher.

It makes me sad the show has gotten so big that they are forgetting their roots. Part of its charm was because they had a bunch of unknowns creating a new, quirky universe.

Maybe I'll have to get famous first and that will be my golden ticket inside.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Principal's Office

A few months ago, I saw a tweet from Iqbal Theba, the actor who plays Principal Figgins on Glee, saying he would send an autographed photo to anyone who was a principal at a school. "From one principal to another!"

At the time, I was working as the head of student services at a private film college. I tweeted back to him asking if that would qualify. He said yes! So I sent him a letter through the mail on the school's letter head asking if he would send me an autograph.

Lo and behold, it has arrived!!!!

He's so totally cool! I loved that he signed it right across his forehead. How very gleeky of him!

Even though I'm not working at the school anymore, I think I may hang this up in my new cubicle on Monday. I'm sure my new boss will think I'm a weirdo. Better to get that out in the open now. :)

Down But Not Out

It looks like TPTB over at Glee have quietly nixed the whole kit and caboodle.

Read the entire article here. The most important part of the article, and the part that has me still excited is:

"While the reality show is dead, Murphy and his producing team still plan on choosing several winners from the online casting competition and giving them a spot on Glee (at least for one episode)."

THAT is EXACTLY what I asked for in the introduction to my song/scene submission. To refresh your memory, click here. It was Take #1 that I used.

And I quote, "I really love Glee, and I would give anything to have an opportunity to be a part of the cast. Even if it was just for one episode."

Perhaps someone saw my video and thought I had a great idea? WOULDN'T THAT BE FREAKING AWESOME?

Oh yes my friends, I'm still in this....

Call Me!

The buzz on the net is that callbacks are happening next week.

I am praying with every cell in my body that their people are going to call my people.

I know it's a long shot. I know it's pretty much one in a million. But if it's going to happen for someone, why not me?

As Debbie Harry once sang.... CALL ME!!!

(Please and thank you.)
