Adventures in Blogging #18
In which I hope LJ doesn't drop away before I get a chance to finish this post. According to LJ, I have 40 minutes, so I should be good. I'm suspecting that the outage might be longer than four hours, so it was either post now or do today's entry over on IJ. :P
And since it's early and I haven't got much to really say, let's talk about TV. Two shows today: Gossip Girl (shut up), and Grey's Anatomy. Yes, I watch too much television.
Spoilers ahoy.
Gossip Girl (shut up)
I haven't talked much about this one here, but yeah, I watch every week. It's a guilty pleasure of mine, and lately, I don't even feel that guilty about it. It's the most fun you can have on TV on Monday nights, ya'll. The last couple episodes have been a bit weak, but still highly entertaining. Blair owns my soul, and Chuck always brings the lulz.
I'm a little annoyed (and amused) by Aaron. He's pretty, but what a douche! The thing is, it's entirely typical. Who among us didn't know at least one asshole like him back in the day, to some degree or other? The manwhoring, the not really acting like he's into Serena at all, and somehow making it her fault that he's a manwhore.
I mean, come on: "Well, I'm seeing lots of people. I don't know how it works in high school, but I like to date more than one person at a time."
Or this classic: "I could explain who Tamara is and why she was at my apartment last night, but the fact is, you feel something or you don't. If you're looking for an excuse to keep us apart, that's fine."
See? DOUCHE. And of course Serena falls for it. She did fall for Dan, after all. Let's just hope that she listens to Blair and dumps him before she contracts something.
And that's all I have to say about that. (Also, if you are not reading New York Magazine's weekly recaps, you are missing an integral part of the viewing experience.
Grey's Anatomy
I've been behind on Grey's, but I finally caught up last night, and OMG. It's awesome again. They had me worried for a while, there.
Firstly, JEFFERY DEAN MORGAN IS BACK!!!11!!! For at least five episodes even though he's DEAD. And yes, I think it might be because Izzie herself will turn out to be dying, but I can't contain my squee. God, I love that man.
I continue to only tolerate Meredith because her friendship with Christina is so epic. I love how Christina gets all jealous of old BFF Sadie, too.
Speaking of Christina ... OWEN. OMG. You know, Isaiah Washington might have been an asshole, but I really felt like the show suffered without Burke and Burke/Christina. Now, I feel like it's back. Owen is wonderful, my god. And I swear, he's Charlie Weasley in the flesh, man. Not just because he's Jason McKidd with the red hair and Charlie-like build, but personality-wise, man. All tough and gruff and surprisingly caretakey, and so much sweeter than he seems at first. And I love the angle of the trauma he's still dealing with from being in Iraq. Subtle and well-played so far.
I was going to talk about Dexter and True Blood as well, my totally non-guilty pleasures because they are two of the best things on TV at the moment, but with ten minutes to spare before LJ goes away for the day, I'll save those for tomorrow.

I'm not sure that she actually will die, but between that and the rumours, I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes life-threateningly ill. It's just speculation at this point.
