Now that the election is over, I’ve renewed my commitment to scripted television. (To Rachel and Keith: I still love you, I just…it was really intense for a while, and I need a break. It’s hard to say this, but I want the freedom to see other people. On other networks.) I’ll keep this post short because I should actually go to bed soon, but I just wanted to give a quick list of what shows I’m watching during their time slots or recording on my DVR:
- How I Met Your Mother
- The Big Bang Theory
- The Office
- 30 Rock
- Privileged
- The Daily Show
- The Colbert Report
- Saturday Night Live
That’s about it! I still haven’t really gotten into some of the other shows that Lindsay watches regularly, like Samantha Who?, Chuck, 90210 or Ugly Betty. I’m planning to watch the new season of Top Chef, and I think I have space for maybe one more show. So if you could recommend one show to add to my lineup, what would it be?
This is the first season I’ve religiously watched HIMYM and Big Bang, and I LOVE both of them. Every time I watch Privileged I find it illogical, but I can’t stop watching.

Melissa made an important pop culture life change. I think she needs to share her news.

It has happened. I’ve heard people warn of such problems, but I’ve never had them happen until now. Scheduling conflicts! I need a second DVR! I thought the normal ebb and flow of televison would prevent any conflicts - one show ends right before another premieres - but I was wrong. So very wrong. Read more…

Oh. my. goodness. JIM AND PAM! The truck stop. The rain. Love was in the gasoline scented air. It was perfect. (More to come.)

Amanda gave us an award! I love awards!
If there’s one thing I love more than winning awards, it’s chain letters. And this honor seems to be a combination of both!
The rules for passing along the award, as well as my choices for our short list, are after the jump. Read more…

Despite the fact that I’ve wasted the entire beautiful weekend loafing around my apartment, I really do love New York. But if there’s one thing I REALLY, REALLY miss about DC, it’s… Read more…

Related to my previous post, 90210 is back! SOON! Who is excited?? I’m slightly scared that it may be like Saved By The Bell: The New Class (but a skankier version). You know what I’m talking about. You think you want it. You’re curious. You want just a few more episodes of a favorite show, but then you see it. Read more…

I just got Sunday’s New York Times. Stori Telling by Tori Spelling (try saying that five times fast) is #2 on the bestsellers list. It has been on the list for 12 weeks. She is smack in the middle of political books, The Obama Nation and The Way of the World.
Thoughts?

If you’re female and you don’t know a MPDG, you might be one.
MPDG Poster Girl:
This Jezebel article refers to a VERY interesting piece about the “Amazing Girl” (AG), which Jezebel considers to be a MPDG by another name. I personally think the MPDG is a subcategory of the AG. This commenter has succinctly explained my issue with the AGs and the soulsters who love them.
Read both pieces and let me know what you think. Do you know any Amazing Girls? Do you find them a) fascinating, b) harmless and lovable, or c) downright annoying?
