OK, so I watched the first episode (parts 1 and 2) of the new 90210. I have to say, it's pretty alright. I never watched the original; I was kind of on the edge of that generation. I also watched two episodes of Gossip Girl--the wedding one, and the season 2 premiere. I know I should go back and get allllll the dirt from season one, but let's be honest: 99.99% of the reason I watch that show is for the clothes. Everyone looks like a page out of Harper's Bazaar. I so wish I could dress like that! Although, let's face it, that would look really weird in Lafayette. And all of the boys are like...pretty. And so are their clothes!
Watching those two shows has made me feel like my life is very un-glamorous. That's ok; I mean, I know the drama is pretty fictional. You can put their problems in any Midwestern high school and they suddenly seem pretty normal. The clothes, on the other hand, are kind of non-fictional...I'm pretty sure people on the Upper East Side and in Beverly Hills actually spend ridiculous amounts of money on clothes I would have to save an entire year's salary for.
That's Leighton Meester as Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf. And I love whoever chooses the clothes for her character. Those outfits are seriously the #1 thing that will keep me watching that show. My little sister could totally pull off Blair Waldorf's style. I don't know that I could...but it's fun to look at, like reading fashion magazines.
On a more content-based note of excitement, I'm sooo ready for some new episodes of The Office. Will Jim finally get the chance to propose to Pam? What will happen when she moves to New York? Who will get Ryan's job? (I say Jim should, since he was up for it before it was offered to Ryan...that way Jim and Pam can be together in NY. I would also guess Karen, but Rashida Jones moved on to another show, and as long as that's working out for her, I doubt we'll see much of Karen.) What will happen with the new H.R. lady and Michael? Will he stay involved in Jan's pregnancy? Will Dwight and Angela be outed for secretly hooking up, or will Phyllis keep her trap shut? (She is sort of the office gossip.) Will Angela go through with her engagement to Andy or will she go back to Dwight? How long have they been hooking up in secret? Can you believe I'm talking about a comedy??!!
OK, my few minutes are up and it's time to get back to work!
