Move Over Barney Fife
…There’s a new deputy in town. This weekend my cousin is getting married and I was honored when she and her fiance asked me to perform the ceremony. So recently, I was “deputized” by the state of California. This Saturday, by the power vested in me, I will pronounce them man and wife. I had to take the following oath to become a deputy:
As an officer of the state of California, I couldn’t be seen driving an 8 year old car, so this weekend I bought a new 2010 Honda Accord EX-L. My old Honda was never the same after that girl hit me two years ago and it’s been getting progressively worse. I don’t care much about cars or how they look, but I think this suits me pretty well. I’m having fun with the navigation system too. I like being able to say “Find sushi” and have the car show me all of the Japanese restaurants in the area. Now let’s just hope my new deputy status can get me out of some speeding tickets! 
Here’s what it’s like to drive down Fountain Ave. at sunset
Later that evening Leslie and I went to The Grove to watch the first episode of the new season of Glee. The cast showed up and it was kind of a zoo. The episode was really good though. I thought the show’s writing was hit or miss last season. They never quite lived up to the pilot in my opinion. But this season does look promising!
The cast led by the incomparable Jane Lynch. She had the best line in the premiere episode we saw:
Sue Sylvester: “You’re the stupidest teenagers I’ve ever met and that’s saying a lot; as I once coached a young cheerleader named Sarah Palin.”
Corey Monteith – “Finn”
MY favorite character, Mike Chang as played by Harry Shum Jr. of LXD and Apple commercial fame!
Click for the best of the rest…
Spoiler Alert! Here are a few rough, unedited scenes from the premiere of the new episode of Glee airing Tuesday. Songs include: Give You Hell, Hello Hello & Don’t Stop Believin’ over the loud speakers at the end. More info on the episode can be found by clicking here.I also ran into Raquel Welch earlier in the week. She looks pretty damn good for 69 years old! As someone said, she’s the “original Silicon Valley”. LOL. She was promoting her new book, Beyond The Cleavage.

OMG my brother just got the same exact car, with the same exact colors as you! even the interior ! hahaaha
Great photos and thank you soooooo much for the Glee sneak peek!
*sigh* I can’t wait to be there!
Congrats on the new car purchase! I love my Honda Accord. Mine’s an 07, though, so it doesn’t have the trendy new body style like yours.
And Jane Lynch is amazing!
@wizirbyman - Great minds think alike! :)
@Dezinerdreams - You’ve very welcome…thank you!
@Sam - It’s a little bigger and boxier than my 2002. Harder to park for sure. I guess I’ll get used to it though.
So very cool. Urgh, I need to visit The Grove the next time I’m in LA! And wow, Raquel is looking not too shabby for 69!
@Roadlesstaken - Let me know Alex…I’ll show you around.
That is freaking awesome! LA always seem funner in your posts. haha, gotta visit the Grove next time I am up there. How was SD? did you actually come down here or was it just April fools?
@Shades_of_Athena - Haha…thanks. Yes, I was actually in San Diego for work…quick trip, and fine. The New York trip was an April Fool’s joke: http://careygly.xanga.com/724547403/its-time-for-me-to-retreat-and-reload/
I heard a rumor that, as an ordained minister, you can park wherever you want. Take advantage of your new office perks while you can! :-p
@youthinasia613 - LOL…that would be nice…but I’m not a minister…I’m just a deputy for a day :)
That’s a great car. The Japanese cars are fun, aren’t they? I was late in following Glee, and now I’m a fan. Totally love Jane Lynch. I saw her in Psych as a coast guard chief and she is just like Glee’s Sue. Loud and proud.
@Cultur3sh0x - Thanks…yeah, I saw her and her girlfriend out to dinner once. They looked very in love.
