Okay so I totally get into TV show grooves. Here's my order of grooves from past to present (and yes this is like since the age of 3ish to now)
Sesame Street, Barney, Arthur, Zoom, Recess, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, The Help (it was one of those 1 season wonders that no one actually remembers but when I was little I loved it. These will now be denoted with a *), Hope and Faith*, 8 Simple Rules*, Reba, What I Like About You*, Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, House, The Office, Arrested Development, Big Bang Theory, Jersey Shore, Modern Family.
Some of these grooves are totally dropped, read: they jumped the shark and I now think they are stupid, read that read: One Tree Hill. But others are still totally in my groove because I'll never grow out of them (Arthur, Sabrina, What I Like About You).
The newest addition to these shows is the bolded one, MODERN FAMILY !!!!! tee hee, it's glorious and I actually LOL during it (which is rare because the things I find funny are oftentimes not what normal people find funny, read: neckbraces). Premise: A mockumentary following the lives of a family made of the following sub-families. The begrudging 60-year-old father and his new hottie-with-a-body Hispanic wife and her casanova fattie 11-year-old son. The gay son and his extra flamboyant partner and their adoptive Vietnamese daughter. The epitome-of-suburbia daughter/mom and her family of her whack husband and three kids, one of whom is a pretty priss, the other who is the smart middle child and the other who is a dumb 10-year-old who likes to jump on a trampoline with boxes on his head sans pants.
It's like the Neapolitan ice cream of television today, as it is pretty much universally liked and delicious. Watch if you can, it's on ABC, on abc.com and also on. . .

Illegality is not an issue to me. Unless it's something like MURDER! Or rape, or ya know, the like. But other than crimes against humanity, illegality is a part of my life: I will download all the crap that I want to download/illegally watch all the movies/tv shows that I want to watch. Really, all I'm doing is enforcing the Robin Hood/Marxist (depending if you be achin without universal health care for the former or attending a Tea Party Convention for the latter) theory of life--all those tv producers like Chuck Lorre are rich enough! Why should I buy a box set of one season of a show when I am a nearly-broke high school senior who scrimps quarters to spend on Boneless Thursdays at B-dubs? Especially when I can illegally watch it AT NO COST?!
Morally it's completely wrong, but logically it's completely right. But no worries dear readers, this is not a whole new girl that you're seeing, besides this breach of morality, I'm basically a goody-goody, regretful sigh. . .
But anyways www.casttv.com/shows is my enabler when hulu.com doesn't fall through (which is really fuckin often. fuck hulu). Ergo, I am sharing my secret with you. Heed my advice! (and watch Modern Family on it. . .)
3. Fish Oil
To those with moderate acne and a dislike for products endorsed by Jessica Simpson. . .have you been looking for the golden elixir? Pop some fish oil pills, your skin and your mirror reflection will yodel for joy. Also wash your effin face. You can find fish oil pills (along with everything else in the known world including stuffed grape leaves, paper shredders, trampolines and coach purses) at your local Costco.
4. Detoxing from FB (FB being young hooligan slang for Facebook)
It's been a good two weeks due to my deactivation of my Facebook account. I imagine this is how a workaholic feels after two weeks of vacation. . .you know, sad and manic at times but relaxed and refreshed at other times. Mainly, I wasn't using Facebook to prove my social life anymore (as I did before, more pics = more friends !!) because I blocked my pictures, and I had deleted 100 friends the week before account deletion because I was like, I don't even talk to these people in real life and this is probably not healthy that I know what their favorite movie is and also what their brother looks like. So it's launched my world into a sort of ya know, whirlpool of non-conformist activity due to the fact that instead of my world revolving around other people, it now revolves around me. Which could totally be taken a bad way, but no big, as of now it's still a healthy balance.
However, I realize the FB is a very important tool for social networking (which I finally kind of understand!) as in advertisement for events and fundraisers and stuff, and therefore, due to the fact that I have the most brillz plan ever that'll be enacted and revealed in its entirety 3/8 during lunch. It'll be legen-wait for it-dary. But anyways this realization will let me reactivate my FB in March and then we'll just see how things go from there.
5. The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
Okay, so normally, I tend to tilt more on the side of, you know, non-conformity, individualism, etc. And thus, before watching it, I was like oh, VS Fashion Show = total objectification of women, etc. etc. etc. And then I totally watched it in its entirety this weekend on Youtube and I was like. . .in awe. While I can see the objectification of women, esp when they pan onto Jay Z sitting front row gawking at the models. . .my eyes were opened to a whole other side of the VS industry. You guys! Those models have got power, confidence and sass (minus the first s as well). And they work it. Like all girls should strive to have that confidence to march down that runway and blow kisses at the world and come out to thunderous applause. Like these VS models aren't typical haute couture models who act as living emotionless dolls who are essentially only hangers for clothing. These VS models are charismatic and it's not the clothes most people are clapping for, it's the freaking charm that they exude from their poreless skin! And ladies, you know that it is so much easier for guys to be charismatic than girls (sexist I know, but via experience, also the truth). But learn from these ladies, charisma is attainable, confidence is attainable, sassiness is attainable!
Also in this 2010 fashion show, they marched their first ASIAN GIRL down the VS runway. Yays! Check Liu Wen out! (forgive her weird outfit, one of the themes this year was Futuristic--which is actually a projected fashion theme of the year. . .so Avatar-inspired)
