OMG, where did you go?


Hey, hi, hello, etc. to my 3 or 4 very dedicated readers, I’ve missed you guys! It’s been exactly twenty days since I last blogged – okay, now it’s been seven days since I started this draft. Terrible right? Trust me, the last thing I think about before I go to sleep every night is “uh! I should’ve blogged!” Anyway, let’s make a list.

  1. I had a birthday sometime between my last blog and this one, it was amazing, mainly because I have awesome friends, but that totally deserves its own blog (and the narcissist in me likes stretching my birthday out as long as possible).
  2. Avatar deserves all the hype it’s getting, I don’t care what anyone says.
  3. Rob Lowe is leaving Brothers & Sisters. I have to say, I’ve been really good about B&S, saying “ohh, they’ll be fine, just a rough patch blah blah blah”, but the episodes aren’t getting any better! And now one of my favourite characters is leaving and breaking up Robert + Kitty in the process. Why is it that all my favourite shows are in some sort of downward spiral? Must all good things really come to an end? Come on Brothers & Sisters, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!
  4. On that note, kudos to Ugly Betty for actually having a really awesome season. Of course, it could be its last one, which is just too painful to think about.

    WAIT WAIT WAIT. Since starting this draft, Ugly Betty HAS been cancelled. Ugh. I’m still in mourning so it’s really hard to type this right now. I just can’t believe I’ll never see my sweet sweet Daniel Meade again after this season. Or Marc. Or Amanda. Clearly I made my top 6 cancelled shows list too soon. Why why why, for once in my whole life, can’t a creative, smart show fucking stay on the air? Anyway, R.I.P. Ugly Betty, you will be missed.

  5. I’m on a Grey’s Anatomy hiatus. I’m taking a break. Maybe I’ll be back, who knows? The season started out pretty promising, but in the end, Grey’s still has that tendency to piss me off without a moment’s notice. Maybe I’m still not over George dying (and Shonda Rhimes’ need to kill off characters to make a point or whatever it is that was). Not to mention the fact that I will probably cringe at the thought of ever visiting Seattle in the future since it seems it’s always dark and raining over there.
  6. Private Practice on the other hand – I can’t believe the same people are responsible for it. Every episode is like candy. My favourite show right now.
  7. Since we’re on the topic of Shonda Rhimes – ANOTHER medical drama? Really? Did Shonda Rhimes have dreams of going to med school during her undergrad that were never fulfilled? I know I sound like a hypocrite, having watched Grey’s and Private Practice religiously up until now, but I think it’s safe to say we have enough medical dramas now. Are there no other careers in the world to focus on? Are creativity and originality dead? Oh wait, my bad, creative, original shows get cancelled. NEXT.
  8. I have the worst midterm schedule in the history of midterm schedules and two projects due for work. So if the stress doesn’t eat me alive over the next few weeks, I might just blog again. Anyway, I leave you with my Ugly Betty tribute. I might have gotten just a little carried away screenshotting, oh well, it’s not like I have studying to do or anything.
