Oh American Gladiators, How I Love Thee… Or Do I?

Here’s the thing.  When the new American Gladiators aired a few months ago for its first season, I was seriously so freaking excited.  Anyone who watched it with me saw it, and anyone who knows me probably heard about it.  I was really into it, in part because of nostalgia, obviously; my sister and I […]

Things that Irked me today

1. I think my roommate ate the last of my Strawberry Jelly.  Which means instead of a toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich like I was PLANNING to have - which was to be my reward for finishing my paper early this morning - I had to have a toasted peanut butter and blackberry preserves […]

Guilty Pleasures

I just freaking love The Golden Girls and Designing Women. Seriously good TV.
What are your guilty-pleasure TV shows?

Tear

I used to make a point of not watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition, because it seemed like just another reality show that was overly corny, yada yada.  But last year, the show came to the town where i live now, and so I watched an episode, and then I watched another.  I stopped after that, […]

Very Suggestible

Yesterday, an incredibly long string of department meetings put me into a defiant funk of “screw you, schoolness.” So, I indulged myself to ordering Chinese food and a trip to the video store. No new releases were appealing, so I went to the TV Series eisle. Thankfully, an ample supply of Gilmore […]

Me Date

Today, I had a date with myself.  After a lovely dinner at home, I took myself to a movie at The Lyric in Blacksburg.  I saw Monster House, and I had quite a nice time with me, if I do say so myself. Which I do.
Some of my friends have taken to going to movies […]

New Sorkin Series

My friend Carrie W., also known as Carrie-from-school since I have too many Carries in my life (there’s a joke to be made about the Stephen King book/film by that name, but I can’t quite grasp it), ordered the pilot episode of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip from Netflix, and she says the show […]

Missing Mood

Still doing ok out here, but today I am in a missing mood.  Stupid In Her Shoes. I miss Audra, which you understand if you’ve seen the movie.  But then I think, huh, actually kinda miss everyone.
But it’s not missing in a super sad way. It’s just missing in a “sigh” way. Half sad, half […]

Funny Moment Not By Me.

My dear sweet friend and former awesome roommate, Tyler, had this to say in his AIM profile.  It struck me as hilarious, so I am reposting here:
When asked “What did you think of Superman Returns?”
Me: (Points to the ground) Oh… look! I found a metaphor over here on the floor… (walks over to […]
