I just finished Bird by Bird by the lovely Anne Lamott and I find myself wrapped in her wisdom and beautiful and hilarious words. I feel the way you should feel when you finish a good book. Warm, peaceful, and a little sad.
In other news, I have a new, secret addiction. Gossip Girl. I first watched it over a week ago when I was having a "I just want to be alone" sort of Friday night. So, I got some Chinese food and some white wine, and popped in disc one.
To say, I was hooked would be incorrect. I was annoyed by Serena's constant whimpering and whining. And she seemed to be the focus. Yet, I couldn't get it out of my head. So, a couple of days later I got disc 2.
BOOM.
Then, I was hooked. But, I still find Serena annoying as hell. And the characters which became my favorites, well, I think they're the misunderstood ones. Blair? Love her in all her bitchy Queen B goodness. Chuck Bass? I mean, the guy's catch phrase is "I'm Chuck Bass." Which is totally narcissistic and genius. I like season 2 Nate. Dan is all right when he's not oogling over Serena. And everyone else is mostly boring. Eh.
Seriously, though. Does anyone else watch this trashy tv goodness?

You're SO right on. I actually read all the books (which were much better than the show, of course). Jenny Humphrey in the books is NOTHING like she is on the show. In a good way. A much better way.
I watched season one on disc also. I don't Tivo season 2, I'll just wait for them to come out too.
Serena IS annoying and whiny. I'm so glad you agree!! I'm not a big Blake Lively fan as it is. Blair is fucking brilliant. She just is. And you know what? Chuck Bass was the gay loser in the books. Weird.
I absolutely love watching TV series on DVD. Why do girls love to watch trash? I can get stuck on almost any reality show (unless it's VH1, and that just makes me sick).
Have fun at your matinee, my love. The movie is cute.
