The Boys are Back in Town!

My Boys season premiere tonight!


My Boys is one of those shows that I sometimes get the feeling I'm the only person watching. But it really is one of the most adorable show out there. It's the perfect antidote to Sex and The City, when it's starting to depress you...because unlike Carrie and her girls, there's something true about PJ and her boys. Consult the episode "Douchebag in the City" where PJ's old friend from New York visits...this is the same episode that provided me and my old roommate Amanda with our favorite insult "Douchey McDouchpacker."

Also I looove me some Brendan. He is beyond fine. And PJ needs to wake up and see that Bobby is so wrong for her. It's only season 3, there is time. (I guess I could end up filing them with Lorelai and Christopher and Nate and Serena. Couples that I want but will never see. Also in this group, Ellie and Jimmy from Degrassi, Brandon and Kelly, Jenny and Erik from GG, Pete and Chloe from Smallville, the list goes on.) Anway, the season premiere was good, not great. Bobby and PJ kissed at the end. The guys had a moustache contest (as Andy said, "Even if you win you lose!) and Brendan still looked awesome. I had trouble looking at Jack without giggling. (He no longer has his Twilight moustache.) Damn you CSD! (Character Separation Disorder). I'm excited though, because this season, we get one episode a week for the entire spring and part of the summer, rather than two episodes a week for a month and then a year before new ones. It's going to be good.

P.S. Holly and Steve Wozniak got kicked off DWTS...sadly, it was deserved, but I <3 Holly, and I'll miss her.

Classin up the joint...

Is it just me or have the Jenny Craig spokesladies gotten more and more classy and more as time passes.

Think about it...their first celebrity endorsement was Kirstie Alley, who is not at all classy. I mean, fabulous? At times, but classy, no way, no how.

Then we get Valerie Bertenelli. Still not so much with the class, but definitely with the fabulous. And she actually kept the weight off, unlike Kirstie.

Then we got Queen Latifah, who boosts both the classy and the fabulous. Because she is both classy and fabulous. Not to mention it wasn't aesthetic with her...it was about having more energy and being more healthy. She's still the curvy girls best role model. Why? Because she's actually just that, CURVY, she's got big boobs and hips and a butt and she's tall. Oh right, and she's beautiful and fabulous and talented. (Other women who fit this: Jennifer Hudson, America Ferrera, and I plan to be the curvy girl icon for whit girls. So there.)

And now we have Phylicia Rashaad. Classy? HELL YEAH! This woman is class. It's like, you hear classy? You think like Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Phylicia Rashaad. And have you seen her most recent add, she looks fantastic.

An escape

On Kings this week they went to Victrola...

It's pretty funny, since Carter Baizon plays Jack (Jonathan) and he does his very best Chuck Bass impression throughout the show.

Did I fall asleep?

I owe Dollhouse a huge apology for my doubt! After turning a corner last week, this week it took off and a speeding pace...but it was the scenes for next week, where Echo remembers that she is in fact Caroline, and she, Sierra and Victor wake up and decide to escape the dollhouse. The episode is going to be titled "Awakening."

I'm impressed that it took only seven episodes for it to turn...it took Fringe a lot longer. (Fringe back in two weeks, hallelujah! It's been far too long since Josh...sigh Josh!) I was frustrated at first but doing five weeks of buildup only made the past two episodes all the more rewarding.

So I apologize Joss and Eliza...I never should have doubted you.

Now seriously, how long until Sarah Michelle makes her guest appearance...she could be like another uprising doll, or something.

Hangin' Out

We all have some variation of them, that place where we hang out with our friends, the place where we don't necessarily need to order, because they just know...they're hang outs! And everyone on TV has one! Or most people do, so here are my top 10 TV hang outs (I was bored today.)

1. Cheers, Cheers: Of course it's number one, where everybody knows your name. Cheers is the epitome of the fictional hang out. It has a colorful crowd, a great backstory (an alcoholic owner) and of course, Norm and Cliff. Bonus Points: Not just a part of the show but the entire basis of the show. Add in an amusing staff, and you've got a great place to hang out.

2. Central Perk, Friends: As someone who spent a lot of time in coffee places, this is the dream one. The closest I have is the place up the street from my apartment. But there's no Gunther there, just that guy who makes my grilled cheeses with swiss even though its not on the menu. Bonus Points: A lead started their life over there and another often performs. And let's face it, that orange couch looks damn comfy.

3. Monk's Coffee Shop, Seinfeld: The coffee shop is a fairly wonderful phenomenon. It seems to have a standard diner menu, and yet Jerry and the gang rarely orders anything but soup or salad. Have you ever had diner soup? It's usually pretty gross. But Elaine's big salad is so funny, it makes it rank. Bonus Points: Unfortunately none, there's just nothing all that special about Monk's, at least not bonus points worthy.

4. Arnold's Drive In, Happy Days: Arnold's gets credit just for its multiple owners and phases. There's season one, where it's like an actual drive in, like without a real inside, then it becomes more of a diner in the next few seasons, owned by Arnold, played by Mr. Myagi. Then it's owned by Al, but still called Arnold's, then The Fonz buys a part of it. It's nice to own the building where your office is. Bonus Points: Burned down and then was rebuilt. As a callback to some of my friends, I continue to love Chachi, despite the carelessness that caused the destruction. Joanie finally agreed to go on a date with him! You'd forget to turn of the grill too!

5. The Peach Pit and The Peach Pit After Dark, Beverly Hills, 90210 and 90210: Nat's Peach Pit and David and Steve's adjacent night club (which passed hands to Valerie, to Noah, to Dylan, to, well it's still there, but I'm not sure who owns it, Nat maybe?) combine the greatness of your classic high school diner with the happiness of a mid nineties rave. The Pit was initially a plot convience, after all, The Walshes are middle class don't-ya-know, and Brandon needed gas money. So all his friends started hanging out there. The end. Bonus Points: Their menu center piece is called a Mega-Burger and Dixon now works there because Nat "hired a kid from West Beverly once. He was a good kid. You remind me of him." Aww, see, I'm not the only one who is reminded of Brandon when I see Dixon!

6. The Dot, Degrassi: The Next Generation: The Dot was the place of so much Degrassi greatness. Like Spinner's job. That time Paige tried to be a waitress. That birthday party Ellie threw for Craig when Ashley dumped him and she was into him and Jimmy was into her (Poor Jimmy, those girls just can't resist the Craig!) Bonus Points: Spinner is now the manager, and dolls out wisdom like, well, Nat at the Peach Pit.

7. The Pie Shop, Ed: OK, so maybe I just put this one on the list because The Pie Shop is actually Beantown, the corner coffee shop in my hometown. But in reality, I loved Ed, it was a brilliant show that died far too soon. Not to mention Actiondale (our ironic nickname for our little town) came alive the two days a week they shot on Allendale Ave. They still have the "Who Wants some pie?" sign up in the window. Bonus Points: They make an excellent frozen hot chocolate (I haven't been there since 8th Grade, what do you want from me?)

8. Chubby's, Boy Meets World: Chubby's, like oh so many of these places was a burger joint. It was here that Cory and Topanga broke up, and made up so many times, that Shawn went on that date with that bitchy girl who wanted to break him and Corey up. And remember the time that Shawn dressed up as a girl to write a story for the school paper and Corey dresed up as a waitress because he felt left out? Also at Chubby's. Bonus Points: When they changed hang outs to the coffee place on campus, Chubby's became a pirate themed restuarant. PIRATES!

9. Crowley's Bar, My Boys: All hale the dive bar! Crowley's is clearly the hang out of the Chicago sports writing elite. OK, maybe not, but PJ and Bobby both cover the Cubs for major papers, so it's up there. Yes, PJ and the guys sometimes go other places (remember when they went to that club with Trouty? Or PJ's apartment? Sometimes Stephanie makes PJ go someplace nice.) but they always end up back at Crowley's usually playing board games. Which leads to...Bonus Points: Crowley's has a board games collection. Including Mouse Trap! Mouse Trap + Beer = Place I want to be!

10. The Hub, That 70s Show: There were two hang outs in Point Place, The Hub and Eric's basement. I went with the hub. Mostly because it is here that my favorite scene in the entire show takes place. When Jackie has the dream sequence that she's slutty Sandy in Grease and Hyde is Danny and they do the "You're The One That I Want" dance. Bonus Points: There are no waiters, you have to go up to the window and get your food yourself.

So that's my top ten, did I miss any? (I know I did, but any that you guys particularly want to add.)

Sometimes even superheroes need to shop

So I was watching Smallville tonight...

It's season 8, which puts Clark and pals at about 22?

Does it bug anyone else that he's been wearing the same clothes since he was fifteen?

I mean, I get it, he's superman, he has to be in red, white and blue, all the time, but does he have to wear the same blue tee shirt and red windbreaker?

OK, so sometimes he shakes it up and does the red tee shirt and blue windbreaker...but still, dude's gotta get bored!

Wednesday is the New Monday!

Ok, not really, nothing is the new Monday (the best TV night of the week, or at least the most crowded) but last night...Whoo!

Let's start with ANTM...OK, what is Tyra thinking sending home sweet little Natalie and keeping stick up her ass uber bitch Sandra around? They both took like identical photos (The Ellis Island shoot was awesome!) and Sandra is horrible! Although I can't wait to see what happens next week now that Tahlia knows how the other girls feel about her.

Then Lost...OK, so that's going to ef up the timeline right? That Sayid shot Ben as a kid. And I really expected Sawyer to torture Sayid for revenge. Really I did. And I love that Juliet is totally secure in her and Sawyer's relationship (OK, so she needed a little reassurance) but I think Kate's going to make trouble. Does anyone else think it's hilarious that Jack the Brain Surgeon is working as a janitor with Dharma?

And Scrubs:

Watched it this morning, Turk's new intern is THE FAMOUS JETT JACKSON! OK, so I know Lee Thompson Young has had a pretty good carreer since playing the teen star on the Disney show...he's definitely become a "that guy" style actor (My favorite thing he's done is playing Cyborg on Smallville, probably because it's a very Jett role. Also Friday Night Lights, the movie, not the show.) But as soon as I saw him I went, "OMG! It's The Famous Jett Jackson!" What can I say? I hit puberty at the turn of the century, that's who he is. But really, his character here Derek, should be good. I'm sad that Scrubs is ending, I'm gonna miss it. But I think they're going out very well. Thank God ABC gave them these last 18 episodes or whatever it is, because last season would have been weak.

Hey what do you guys think of doing a post Disney Channel carreer track for the April big post? Might be kind of cool...

Bye Bye!

Denise Richards got kicked of DWTS...honestly? There's this huge outrage about it, because it came down to her and Holly Madison. They both sucked. But I really think Holly has more potential than Denise because she is willing to let go and have fun with it. Denise seemed at least to be far too intense for this kind of comptition at her level of suckatude. It wasn't all her fault either, that black tutu thingy was horrendous and did nothing for her body, where as Holly was wearing a fringy red bikini that showed off her rockin bod.

I am mad that Steve Wozniak isn't gone though. He got a ten...even Tucker Carlson got a twelve that time.

But Karina's giddy reaction was enough to make up for it. She audibly squealed.

And the idomitable Houghs are still around so I'm good. Can't wait to see the Argentine Tango and The Lindy Hop next week...should be good.

I dream of being with you forever

So, the Twilight DVD came out on Saturday. It brought with it my 3rd viewing of the movie itself (Saw it twice in the theater) this time with my dad and my sister. My dad read the books this summer and really liked them. He thought the movie was OK, but he really can't wait for New Moon, because, let's face it, the werewolves are the ones who make this saga what it is. Mary broke her total Twilight boycott, although she did take to shouting "Cedric!" every time Robert Pattenson was on screen. I assume this is payback for the last time she watched Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix and in the scene where Cho is all sad over Cedric I said, "Don't be sad just because your boyfriend became a vampire and moved to Washington!" Mary detests all things Twilight purely on the principal that as a fan of both Harry Potter and Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles people always tell her she will love it. We're a very contrary brood, if people tell us we'll like something, we immediately become averred to it. I was the same way with Twilight at first, only I was told that I would like it because Bella and Edward were like Angel and Buffy (HA! They are so not!) Then when I was commuting into New York and reading more than ever I decided that I would see what all the fuss was about, and fell in love with Jacob. Anyway, this viewing proved that the movie did hold up on multiple viewings...But that's just a happy bonus. I bought the DVD for the bonus features.

Deleted scenes...there's really not a lot there, at least nothing worth really seeing. Some interesting stuff where James and Victoria make out a lot...and I find myself perversely attracted to Cam Gigandget, despite his sketch factor. Maybe it's because he killed Marissa...That might just be it.

The making of documentary was great. The interview with Stephanie Meyer was extremely illuminating, her writing process is a lot like my own, so that was really cool to see. I've never been inspired by a dream, but for me, I get pictures in my head and develop them.

The footage from comicon made me want to strangle some of those girls..."OMG I LOVE EDWARD! SQUEEE!!" I'm just too old for the fangirl thing. I did it, I was so there when I was in high school, but now I'm just like, "BAH, was I that annoying a mere four years ago?" (I was, by the way. A prime example is the time that my friend Ali and I made our siblings come see Aida with us when Adam Pascal was back in it. The sheer force of our squeals when he first takes off his shirt before "The Past is Now Another Land" could have deafened anyone.)

But the real treat is the commentary with Katherine Hardwicke, Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson. This guy used to annoy the crap out of me, but now I just want to give him hugs. He doesn't think that he made an effective Edward...or he's at least self depricating. My favorite quote is, "Look at this guy, no one in high school would have liked him. With his stupid little pea coat! My God!" "Well, Rob, no one talks to him." "Yeah, no wonder!" I was peeing myself. He also complained constantly about his plucked eyebrows and how skinny he was, and how he's not at all scary. (I agree with all of these things, but he still pulled off Edward.) And they totally gave Billy Burke (Charlie) his props. I adore his performance in the movie and I can't wait until Breaking Dawn when he'll really get to shine. Oh right, and he's on My Boys, so you know, there's that...even though he plays a character there who I want to go away.

Overall, the DVD is worth it. Summit was very smart and priced it low, I paid $17.99 for mine at Best Buy, and it's the same on Amazon, the Blu-Ray was $24.99. I think it's a good move to keep it within the price range of the target audience. Well done marketting department.

Well, it's got to hold me over until True Blood season 2 starts in the summer...although Buffy season 3 just got put up on Hulu, so that'll do it too.

I just can't wait for New Moon. All Jacob, all the time!

Mini-Heroes

It was all about the kiddies...but not Claire this week on Heroes.

First: Adventures in Babysitting starring Ando and Hiro. They were watching Matt Parkman Jr who has one of the coolest powers ever. He's an activator. He brings things to life. It's really cool. Matt's bitchy wife was back too, and then Daphne died, so we'll see how that goes. Matt's bitchy wife is better than Nathan's bitchy wife after all.

And Rebel's identity was revealed and it's Micah! OF COURSE ITS MICAH! I'm so excited that he's back because Micah was my favorite character in season one, had the best storyline in season 2 and all but disappeared in the first half of season 3. So I love that he's back in the game.

Look at the little dude! He's the man. And he controls machines with his mind, and not like he thinks about them, but he talks to them, as if they were people. It's AWESOME.

I Heart NY

So tonight I got a super bonus excitement. Basically, I got 2 episodes of Gossip Girl.

The real thing was good. We got Lilly/Rufus action, but if you want my reactions check out my new twitter. (Yes, Katie, I folded!) It'll be good.

But then the second episode...came in my new favorite show EVER Castle.

Can I just say Nathan Fillion really is swoon worthy! And the girl's great too, I didn't realize that she was Hana from season one of Heroes (the really cool girl who could access the internet with her brain.) Anyway, this episode was about Uptown private school kids and their excess. Some little Chuck Bass wannabe, orchestrated another kid's murder. Castle figured it out. And then I wished he would make love to me.

Did I say that out loud?

Oh right, and my boy (James Vanderbeek) was totally on his game tonight on OTH...He even gave a Dawson speech as his swan song. And his final parting, telling Lucas and Julian that he shot a sunset...the only frame of Ravens that made it. It was nice, his speech was sort of like "Things Dawson learned." He stressed a lot about not brooding over the speed bumps. "Sometimes the beauty is in the attempt." Wise words Monsieur Leery...wise words.

All I ever wanted

So, I'm back at school now...which is good. But this post is about a couple of things.

1. Gloating about my awesome vacation
2. Showing you guys Kelsey (she's gorgeous, really!)
3. Showcasing what a really talented photographer my little sister is.

Gloating:

Seriously, Florida was exactly what I needed, the sun and everything was so much fun!

That's Palm Beach, where we spent a really fantastic day.
That's me, my mom and Mary in Palm Beach, we were shopping, not swimming, I'm wearing that hat because the day before I had gotten a wicked sunburn

More palm beach shopping. Also see how good Mary is at angles and line? I know!

Kelsey:

Kelsey is almost ten, so she's no puppy. She's also the most well behaved dog ever. She only barks when some foreign invader (usually a lizard or bird) enters her kingdom (their yard) or when she really needs to go outside. She never jumps on the furniture or people. She loves cheese...so of course we fed her lots of it because we adore her.
That's how she spent a large chunk of the week. She was sad and missed her mommy. Also, she's kind of old and tired.

She loves to swim, you can't get in the pool without her, she will jump on you.
Kelsey and Mary have always had a very special relationship. At their other vacation house in Rhode Island Mary used to throw a tennis ball into the water for Kelsey to swim for for hours. My mom's favorite picture of Mary is one of her holding brand new puppy Kelsey on her lap, it was put on many a birthday cake over the years.

And now for some of Mary's pure skill with her baby (her Nikon that she got as a high school graduation present.)



I'm extremely proud of how good she is, and we really did have a great time! Hope everyone has a good week!

Lady Peaceful, Lady Happy...

So its been a few days, and I feel like I've processed it a bit, but obviously a few days ago Natasha Richardson died.

As usual, I'm sad whenever a talented contributor to the entertainment industry passes, but this seems different somehow. Again, not to get too into my personal life, but my family (large and extended that it is) is currently waiting for an organ donation, so the idea of a person who was brain dead being taken off life support concerns us greatly (obviously, my Uncle John did not get Natasha Richardson's liver) so it was a strange thing to hear about.

But it also touched me because of Ms. Richardson's career. She was a very talented woman and her theater credits mean the most to me. She was in the late 90s revival of Cabaret. Her version of "Maybe This Time" made me fall in love with the song. Obviously Liza's version remains the standard, but Ms. Richardson's version has such real feeling and pain in it. I've listened to it again a few times in the past few days. I forgot how much I love it.

Tiki tiki tiki tiki room...

me + mom + sister + tiki bar = lots and lots of fun...trust me!

Seriously, if you've met my mother, you know exactly what I'm talking about! We had a great night tonight at Guanabana's here in Jupiter. If you ever head down this way you should definitely check the place out. Terrific rum punch and margaritas (they add a splash of orange juice, totally doing that the next time I make margaritas!) and I had an amazing shrimp taco (about three margaritas ago lol!) but check the place out, we had a whole lot of fun. Now, we're watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall...also awesome...unless you're not into seeing Jason Segel's "pee pee" then its not so good. But its a funny movie none the less!

You know we love you...

First of all, Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

I'll write about my night tomorrow, probably. But today, you knew it was coming...

GOSSIP GIRL!

Thank God it was back and wonderful last night...they resolved both the stupid Chuch secret society storyline and the stupid Dan has sex with the teacher story line. It's over and thank GOD! Both of those story lines were awful.

Instead we focused on the Constance/St. Jude's senior production of Age of Innocence. I know, the GG kids doing Edith Warton, it's just too too appropriate. This was basically an excuse to put Nelli Yuki in a fat suit and Blair in a corset, I'm convinced.

It punctuated the story well. And Vanessa was around (when isn't she? GRR) filming a documentary about the play and making Nate uncomfortable.

Chuck was going to help his mysterious secret society girl out, until Carter Baison did it first. Then it turned out she was just using both of them for their money. She told Chuck "You have a good heart" give it to someone who cares...We all know who that is.

But see, Blair's chance at Yale was destroyed by five year old teacher lady who was sleeping with Dan!! And she sent out a blast on Gossip Girl about Marcus, and the whole doing it with his step mom thing, which Blair blames Serena for. And then there was one about how Serena only got into Yale for publicity, which Serena blamed Blair for. They found out it was teacher and forgave each other. Well, Serena forgave Blair drank a huge ass martini and moped about how this was Karma...ah Blair, always with the drama.

Chuck went over to Blair's apartment to tell her he loved her, much to our glee (and Darota's!) but Blair wasn't home she was drinking giant martini in a bar somewhere. And who showed up at said bar and starts hitting on Blair....Carter Baison! Poor Chuck, the love of his life is hooking up with his nemisis...next week looks damn juicy though. Nate's uber rich grandpa rolls into town, Chuck and Carter throw down, and uh Serena is super duper pretty.

I'm just so glad it's back! I missed my GG

Surprise!

I don't get into my real life a whole lot on this thing...mostly because my real life is really not particularly interesting. Except when I start a week like this one.

See, last Sunday my mom called me, "Reenie, are you interested in going to Florida next week?" (She was in Florida, I'll explain in more detail in a bit.) I squealed in excitement! Did I want to go to Florida? Hell yes! Anything to get away from the North East in March...its a tough place to be. I didn't know if it was definitely happening until Thursday.

See, my dad's older brother is a retired member of the board of directors of a rather large corporation...the one based out of New York in that big building with the skating rink in front...you know, they probably made your refrigerator and many of my favorite shows are on their network. Yeah, that one. Needless to say he has a lot of money, and as such owns a house in Jupiter Florida. He also charters a private plane down there whenever he's going, my parents came down with him last weekend. This week, he's going to the bahamas with my Aunt, for her birthday. They have a beautiful yellow lab, and someone needed to watch the dog while they were away. Did I want to dogsit, along with my mom and sister? HELLS YES!

So this morning we flew down, this afternoon we sat by the pool, (I fried and read "Bright Lights, Big Ass," HEY! I read literature all the time for school, I'm on vacation and I will read Jen Lancaster's rants all I want!) and we're freshly back from a glorious dinner at a steak house (Lobster Bisque, 10 Oz Filet Mignonne nice and pink how I love it, mashed potatoes, flourless chocolate espresso cake, a vodka martini and a glass of red wine) relaxing in their huge living room watching the Big East Championship game (Uncle Denis is disappointed, because he went to UCONN, but we're watching anyway.) It is a joyous and wonderful week ahead of me...I'll be sure to update with good stories from the lap of luxury.

Bad Boy Throw Down

I've decided that once a month I'll do one of those massive posts...you know, like "The Battle of The Queen Bees." For March? It's bad boy time...

We just can't resist them, can we? Maybe its the leather jackets, the motorcycles, the cigarettes, the "I don't give a shit" attitude. Maybe we want to fix them or we want just a little to be bad too and we think they'll lead us there. Either way, good girls, like myself, just can't resist a bad boy. They roll into town, or barge into our lives and change everything. So here are some of my favorites, categorized, Good Bad Boys, Supernatural Bad Boys, Bad Boys Who wouldn't consider Good, Smart Bad Boys:

The Good Bad Boys: They don't want to be bad, really, they just can't help it! These are the guys who want to change, who really aren't bad at all. They just do bad things sometimes because a bad boy can't ever leave it behind.

Ryan Atwood The OC:Ryan, from the mean streets of Chino, CA (where he was apparently the only white kid besides his badder big brother Trey) Ryan finds his way to Newport Beach because Sandy Cohen is appointed his attorney when he steals a car. Sandy then adopts Ryan and brings him home. And then four years of glory began...Ryan is the very picture of the "I'm trying to change" model of bad boys. From day one he attempts to be different, and doesn't always succeed. He hits people...a lot. He messes up. He almost gets his ex girlfriends pregnant. Luckily with help from the Cohens, especially is "brother," Seth he does become a better man...with no help from Marissa Cooper (HISS)

Patrick Verona 10 Things I Hate About You:Long before Heath was doing the gay cowboy thing, or winning posthumous Oscars for portraying sociopathic clowns, he was making every preteen and teenage girl born from 1985 to 1990 swoon. Patrick captured our hearts with his barely there smile, his wild hair, the way he saw into Kat's soul and fell in love with her. He wasn't bad, he was just misunderstood, and broke. And he doesn't even have to buy me a guitar if he screws up!

Angel Buffy The Vampire Slayer/Angel:
Angel could also technically be filed under "supernatural" being a vampire and all. But to me, Angel's just far too good to be a real bad bad boy. Cursed as a vampire with a soul (yes preteenies, believe it, there were good vampires before Edward Cullen! Not only that, Angel would kick Edward's broody little ass if he had the chance) Angel is overwrought with guilt over the crimes of his past. He went truly bad a couple of times over the ten or so years we saw Joss chronicle his stories, anytime he reached erm....true complete happiness. But whether it was helping Buffy track down baddies in Sunnydale or tracking them down on his own in LA Angel is right up on the so good, he can't help but be bad list.

Roger Davies Rent:
The perfect mix of grunge era angst and operatic tragic hero, Roger changed his bad boy ways when his "girlfriend April left a note saying 'we've got AIDS' before slitting her wrists in the bathroom." He just wants to write "one great song" before he has to give it all up and you know die. He not only succeeds in writing his "One Song Glory" but he saves coke fiend also HIV positive stripper (and his one true love) Mimi from herself, yells at filmmaker best friend Mark until he makes his movie. Roger's angst and his rock god status puts him in the bad boy hall of fame.

Supernatural Bad Boys: Something about the "other" leads boys over to the dark side. It probably doesn't help that these guys are often the physical embodiment of evil...and you know, other stuff.

Spike Buffy The Vampire Slayer:
Seriously, as far as loving the vampires goes, Buffy beat Bella Swann to it twice. Spike started out as a mortal enemy of hers, and then became obsessed with her. And then he got a soul (I know right?) and they lived happily every after. Sort of, because nobody in Whedonverse actually lives happily ever after. But they come as close as anyone.

Jacob Black, Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn:
Speaking of Bella...as far as traditional bad boys go, it wasn't a vampire for her. Edward Cullen's an angel compared to her bestie the wolfboy. Maybe that's why I'm Team Jacob. Jacob breaks the rules, Jacob rides a motorcycle, Jacob isn't an obsessive control freak who thinks that Bella can't defend herself. (I harbor some resentment towards Edward. Can you tell?) Like many of the other bad boys his heart is almost always in the right place (with Bella) and then with his Renessme. (Plot conveneince.) Jacob just acts before he thinks. And Bella should have picked him. Yeah, that's right...I said it. About time that someone online said it.

Cole Turner/Belthazoar Charmed: Oh, Cole, so sexy, so menacing, so not even bad, just pure evil and that was something that good witch/bad girl Phoebe could just not resist, over and over again. Cole eventually became the ultimate bad boy, the Source, Charmed's answer to Satan. Then Phoebe and her sisters vanquished him, not before he impregnated her with his demon spawn though, which of course made Phoebe evil. They aborted the baby...Now I'm pro life, but the devil child, I'm OK with terminating that baby. Cole came back yet again reborn from the sludge of the underworld. Again, not so much with the good. The Charmed ones knocked him out again and he became a plastic surgeon.

Bill Compton True Blood/The Southern Vampire Novels: Another vamp with a heart who could kick Cullen's pasty butt. (Maybe I should make a post about that!) "Vampire Bill" as many of the characters in True Blood call him (I'm still working through the novels, damn you school!) doesn't look for trouble, but it finds him alright. As a result it also find his flame, psychic Sookie. Bill pushes her away quite a few times to "keep her safe" (Classic good vampire behavior) but we don't know what's going to go down in season 2. We do hope that Bill romps around that graveyard in his undershirt again.

Bad Boys Who Wouldn't Consider Good: These guys aren't redeemed, have no interest in redemption and are just plain bad. And that just makes us want them more.

Chuck Bass Gossip Girl:Oh Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, what are we going to do with you? You scheme, you drink, you sexually harass and we just can't get enough of it! I rewatched the pilot recently and I still don't understand why Jenny was so against him groping her! He slick and smooth. He's come close to redemption a couple of times...all because of Blair, but she's about as bad as he is, so they get stuck, not to mention some little problems hit them, pregnancy scares, his father dies, blah blah blah. Now he's trying to bring down some secret society. Whatever, as long as they end up together, I don't think any of us care.

James "Sawyer" Ford Lost: Sawyer's a bad guy, but it's not his fault! He watched his father kill his mother and then himself. He's tried to be good, but once you get in on the con, there's no getting out. Sawyer has one rule on the Island and one rule alone:Survive. Even the love of a good woman (Kate, and to an extent Juliet) couldn't quell him. Although he did selflessly jump off the chopper for Kate (Now that she's back PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let them get back together!) but let's not forget back in season one when Sawyer ramsacked the plane, and wouldn't give that guy his asthma meds. Oh and when he screwed Ana Lucia in the woods in season 2. Remember that stuff? Yeah, I though you did. Son of a bitch.

Rhett Butler Gone With The Wind:Rhett looks like a gentleman, but don't let that fool you. He's a scoundrel of the highest degree. That's why Scarlett loves him so much. He smokes, he drinks, he gambles, he sleeps with hookers (and Madame, Belle Watling) he drags his wife by her hair to their bed and then basically pushes her down the stairs causing her to miscarry. But let's not lie, we'd all pick him over the whiny mopey honarable Ashley Wilkes. Frankly, my dears, we give a damn! Oh yeah we do.

Smart Bad Boys: These guys are smart, so smart that no one understands them. So their only recourse is to do bad things. Sometimes all they need is the right girl to open them up...or to get caught.

Jess Mariano Gilmore Girls: We had just hit puberty and there he was. He stepped off a bus and with a few surly grunts and sarcastic comments a whole generation of girls sighed and realized they wanted this boy. He was well read, he talked back to adults, even cool ones like Lorelai Gilmore and Luke Danes, he was sensitive and genuinely cool. Oh right and he was beautiful! We didn't stand a chance. And neither did Rory Gilmore. She fell for hi and for a brief golden moment all was right with the world. Then he ran away, broke her heart, came back, she had an affair with Dean (stupid goody goody, whiny, floppy haired Dean) she met Logan, Jess came back, yelled at her about Logan, she went to Philly to see him, they almost hook up, then Milo and Alexis broke up and this epic love story ended with a big fat question mark. Except all true Gilmore fans knwo that when President Obama was campaigning in Philly they got back together and lived happily ever after.

Dylan McKay Beverly Hills, 90210: Dylan's not so much bad, so much as he's unmotivated. And bad, so bad. He's every bad boy cliche in the book. He smokes, he used to drink (and sometimes still does) his parents don't love him, he drives a motorcycle, he wears a leather jacket, he cheats on his girlfriend with her best friend (You thought I forgot didn't you? Haha, I did not!) But something about Dylan just makes us all (especially Brenda) give him chance after chance after chance.

Will Hunting Good Will Hunting:Its not your fault Will! Will's from the wrong side of the tracks, and man-o is he smart. He can do upper level super math because he read Steven Hawking's book. He's read like every book. But his foster dad beat him. And he's embarassed of his friends, and he just can't open up and let Skylar in! So he lies, and he jokes around, and beats people up, and gets drunk with the Affleck brothers...I mean those two guys he grew up with.

Danny Ocean Ocean's 11, 12, 13 etc.:
Oh George, with your roguish good looks and wonderful smile. Never has your charisma shone through quite like it did in the Ocean's movies. It's all about the plan. And the plan, robbing multiple casinos, lifting priceless works of art, cheating a casino, is how he showcases his smarts, which lead to his bad boy antics. He also got caught, a lot. Went to prison a few times, but he got out, and went right back into the game. It's who he is.

Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones and The Raiders of The Lost Ark, The Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade and Kingdom of The Crystal Skull: Indy's a brilliant archeologist. He also kicks the butts of Nazis and gets laid...a lot. Indy walked away not once, but two times from Marion Ravenwood, the love of his life and the mother of his child, Lewis Stevens, I mean, Mutt Williams. He was just too Indy not too. The whip doesn't hurt the bad boy image either.

So there you have it...Anyone else you want to add?

You Can't Take The Sky From Me

It was a good night for Browncoats last night.

1. Summer Glau guest starring as herself on The Big Bang Theory...where Raj hit on her. If I were Summer Glau I would hook up with Raj. If I were me I would hook up with Raj. He's adorable! Then Howard ruined it. Summer Glau is awesome.

2. The premiere of Castle! WOW! My roommates and I literally squealed through all of it. My God is Nathan Fillion attractive. After all you know these are not the hammer...Oh right, the show. Actually it was really good. Kind of by the numbers, it reminded me a lot of Bones...in a good way, and that's kind of funny because Bones stars another Whedonite (Really, if I have to say who, then you don't deserve to be on the internet...just Google it!) Anyway, Rick Castle is a lot more complicated than you'd expect, much like Mal Reynolds and I'm really interested in seeing where they take the show. Unlike on many of these sexual tension fueled shows, both of the characters acknowledge that the tension is there. I'm interested in seeing how the show turns out. Plus you know, nothing else is on after DWTS...WHAT UP!

Wow...dancing

Well friends, it's my favorite night of the year...or two nights of the year I guess...Dancing With The Stars premiere night.

Alright...let's start with the odd couples:

L'il Kim and Derek Hough: This is just bizarre. The Houghs are wayyy too wholesome for any of the Bad Boy crew. It was heinously awkward to watch their interviews back to back, but their cha cha was decent. I think Derek is going to have to deal with not making it to the top four this season.

Steve Wozniak and Karina Smirnoff: Poor Karina...I think she's had like two legit partners in the tenure of the show. Maybe Maks made them give her this year's old man. She still did a good job though. Even if she is a skank.

Denise Richards and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: You'd think they work well together, after all she said, "They say Maks is the bad boy, and I do kind of have a thing for bad boys." Oh really? Do you Denise? Wait, you were married to CHARLIE SHEEN right? That's probably the only reason you're even on the radar enough for this bunch of has beens. But she just sucks. I say second or third week, they go. Whatever, it'll give Karina and Maks more time to plan their wedding.

Belinda Carlisle and Jonathan Roberts: Normally Jonathan can partner with anyone, but his and Belinda's waltz was just awkward and hard to watch.

The neutrals:

Holly Madison and Dmitry Chaplin: Holly was a last minute add after Jewel had to drop out. She only had a week, verse everyone else's four. And she did fairly well, given the circumstances. And she is beautiful and very loveable. And we all want to see her outshine Kendra.

Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska: My brother and I once joked that they should change the name of Newark Airport to "Lawrence Taylor's Career Memorial Airport." The Giant fan in my was cheering like crazy. Finally one of ours. I'm also really scared of LT though, and I have been since I was little. He's a scary scary dude. Anyway, they weren't horrible by any means, and they had a lot of expectation following them, after all, I think the people at DWTS must think that the NFL is like the best ballroom dancing school on the planet.

Ty Murray and Chelsea Hightower: They were just fine, if unspectacular. Personally, I don't care about this guy except he's married to Jewel and as a result the woman is happy and no longer writes her poetry. So thanks for that man.

Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke: They were really good, but I don't know that they'll last unless he really steps up his game in the getting to know you portion. Because as hot as he was as Samantha's naked neighbor, that's not enough to get you through this competition bud!

Melissa Rycroft and Tony Davaloni: I love Tony...and she seems really sweet. But again, this was a last minute addition to the cast, so she didn't have a lot of time to learn. I voted for them because they danced to "Moon River." Although I feel like if someone is dancing to "Moon River" they should be wearing a black dress of some kind. She wasn't.

David Alan Grier and Kym Johnson: I really thought that these two would be suited to each other. Just energy wise, but they were lackluster. Carrie Ann was very funny though, "David, if I had known you could dance like that I would have spent a lot more time with you during In Living Color!" Ah, the 90s...Hey, I wonder if Carrie Ann hisses at the TV every time she sees J. Lo...you know like I do when I see Katrina Bowden.

Made for each other and Headed for the Top:

Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough: They're together in real life and I'm just a smidge in love with her. Their waltz was endlessly lovely. And oh right, she's Julianne and she can do no wrong. But really, I think they have potential, because honestly, Julianne is getting to be about as famous as anyone brought in as a star...She's nominated for a CMA after all. So her fan base, plus his, plus people who love adorableness (Anyone who watches this show!) will vote for them.

Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas: Mark + Olympian + Little Blonde Girl + Funny Mark faces = guarantee in the finals. Plus, who doesn't love Shawn Johnson? She's so cute and little and you just want to put her in your pocket when she smiles.

Steve-O and Lacey Schwimmer: Lacey really grew on me last season, and I think she and Steve-O are a perfect pair. I had no doubt that he would be good because he's a really physical guy, not to mention willing to do anything. And Lacey's carefree reinvent the wheel approach suits him. And Johnny Knoxville and Wee Man looked so proud of him.

So my finals prediction: Steve-O and Lacey, Shawn and Mark, Julianne and Chuck or Kym and David if they step up their game!
My win prediction...I don't know, I just have this feeling...

Setting the Tone

Before last week it had been years since I watched a new episode of ER...mostly because once Carter left I felt like, "What's the point?" but kept watching for one more season, but then along came Grey's and I didn't need two medical dramas! And then I decided that I should probably get caught up so that I wouldn't be confused when the series finale hits in five weeks (SOB) I am going to miss the show quite a bit.

So, now that I am caught up just in time for next week which is the BIG one...everyone's coming back...Juliana Marguellis, Eriq LaSalle...and uh someone else who's face they didn't show us (hmm...I wonder who it could be?)

Overall it has been a good season for the returns. The episode where we saw Mark, Carrie and Ramano was great, because although it was a flashback (Had to be else, Mark and Ramano would have to be ghosts) it didn't feel contrived.

I'm still hoping for Chen. I love Chen, and Ming-Na is one of the most talented actresses out there, but it doens't look like it's going to happen. Which is kind of a bummer.

But a least we get George...we think.

20 Albums

My sister tagged me with this note on Facebook and I really like it as a jumping off point for a blog post, so I thought, why not? I rarely talk about music on the blog, because for me music is just this omnipresent thing that I don't put a whole lot of thought into. (Also my music taste is fairly appalling and embarrassing, and I'm pretty sure Mary would disown me if I let the world in on this) But nonetheless I will do this, and elaborate a little bit on why I picked the albums I did.

Think of 20 albums that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life or the way you looked at it. They sucked you in and took you over for days, weeks, months, years. These are the albums that you can use to identify time, places, people, emotions. These are the albums that no matter what they were thought of musically shaped your world. When you finish, tag 20 others, including me. Make sure you copy and paste this part so they know the drill. Get the idea now? Good.

20. The Who- Who's Next: I should preface this by saying I love pretty much all of The Who's stuff, growing up it was always Tommy, but it was Who's Next that made me fall in love with them. Maybe it's a cliche but I feel completely unstoppable when I hear Baba O'Reilly. You can't put a price on that.

19. The Spice Girls - Spice World: I'm a girl. I was eight when The Spice Girls first came on the scene, and ten when Spice World hit. I choreographed countless basement level music videos with my friends to this music. Not to mention Spice World is one of those undeniably great pop albums. Listen to "Stop" again sometime and tell me it isn't on the level with 60s Bandstand style pop.

18. Rent: The Original Broadway Cast Album: Two CDs of pounding rock music, profanity and bohemian agnst. High School wouldn't have been High School without Jonathan Larson's rock opera. Really, if you want to be impressed musically and with sheer power, "What You Own" and "Take Me or Leave Me" are the ones to listen to. And even the movie soundtrack which I also have, and have listened to, couldn't recreate that power even with the same vocalists. Probably because almost ten years later Adam Pascal and Idina Menzel were better trained singers and lost a lot of the raw power that's contained in those original recordings. Adam really is a revelation on this album, his voice is edged with punky pain and perfect agnst and is so distinct that it never could be recreated.

17. Tim McGraw- A Place in The Sun: I fell in love with country music when I was a sophomore in high school. For a rich girl from New Jersey it's hard to admit something like that. And since then I've found much higher quality stuff than A Place in The Sun, but this was the album that did it. It contains one of my favorite songs ever, "My Next Thirty Years."

16. Coheed and Cambria - Second Stage Turbine Blade: Imagine being fourteen, just starting off high school in a brand new enviroment, entrusting yourself to people you barely know and then stumbling upon music that is unlike anything you've ever heard before and you'll get some idea of what Second Stage meant to me. It made us all fall in love with Coheed, an infatuation that continues to this day. Also, "Devil in Jersey City" may be the best song ever to dance around to when you're severely pissed off.

15. Billy Joel- Turnstiles: "James," "I've Loves These Days," "All You Wanna Do is Dance," not to mention "Miami 2017," "New York State of Mind," "Say Goodbye To Hollywood" and my all time favorite song "Summer, Highland Falls." There isn't a bad song on this album and I'd already fallen deeply into Billy Joel when I finally listened through it the first time, and this cemented him as my favorite artist ever. I was barely 14, but it was also just after 9-11, and listening to Joel's love letter to New York healed a part of me that was still so scared of the city that I'd always seen on the horizon.

14. The Postal Service - Give Up: It was the summer of 2004. I was in the middle of a production of Anything Goes. "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" made me feel safe. That's the only way I can explain it.

13. Sarah McLaughlin - Mirrorball: "Angel" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written and it's only available on this live album. But you also can't disregard the sheer beauty of Sarah's voice and simple piano harmonies. It's really a shame that Lillith Fair had to die before I was old enough to go.

12. Bruce Springsteen - The Rising: It was hard to pick a Springsteen album, but I went with The Rising for a similar reason I talk about Turnstiles. Listening to The Rising was a healing process for me, as it was for most people. Being the age that I was, in the place that I was in 2001 is strange. We were just entering adolescence which is this traumatic time anyway, and once in a journaling assigment in high school I descibed it by saying our generation's innoncence was hijacked in addition to the planes. Having music that really helped me sort out those emotions kept me from both forgetting and dwelling on the events of September 11.

11. Norah Jones - Come Away With Me: Norah has one of the most distinct voices in music and her first album, plays that perfectly. Her piano is heavy, but it fits the music and her singing is almost ethereal. The entire album feels like a stolen moments, and every song deals with the impermance of those kinds of moments. It's really beautiful.

10. Juno - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: Juno is one of my favorite movies, and the soundtrack is no small part of that. It made me fall in love with Belle and Sebastian and Kimya Dawson (The girl half of The Moldy Peaches). "Tire Swing" is the top listened to track on my I-Tunes, and not for no reason. It's a really great song that keeps you going. It's also great music to work out to, incidently.

9. Songs You Know By Heart - Jimmy Buffet: Another staple of my childhood that I grew to appreciate more as I got older. There's such a simple joy to Jimmy Buffet, and there's real emotion is so many of his lyrics which a lot of people don't catch because they get thrown off by "Cheeseburger in Paradise," which is in fact an amazing song. Not to mention Buffet brilliant put a steel drum behind country chords creating a completely unique sound but still keeping with his genre, there are very few people who've managed to do anything like that.

8. Backstreet Boys - Millenium: My older brother and I have discussed many times if there's a 90s or 00s pop equivalent to Thriller. A phenomenal pop album that even people who claim to hate pop still appreciate as a remarkable and cohesive piece of musical art. The closest thing to a consensus we can come to is Millenium, which did spawn the completely overplayed "I want it That Way," but also the beautifully touching "Don't Wanna Lose You Now," the totally rocking "Larger Than Life," the 90s pop power ballad, "The One" and cemented AJ McLean as one of the most distinct and unpredictable pop vocalists ever. Listen to him on "Larger than Life" again sometime, the guy wails.

7. Eric Clapton - Unplugged: Until I got to about 13 I thought "Layla" was a ballad because my father listened to Unplugged all the time. I still often find myself humming "Before You Accuse Me" when I'm not thinking about anything. But mostly Unplugged gave me a deep appreciation for live recorded music.

6. Green Day - Dookie : One track - "Welcome To Paradise." I was like 7 and I still knew that there was something really special about that song and that band. Too bad "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" ruined everything.

5. Ben Folds - Whatever and ever, Amen: I could lie someplace all day and just listen to this album on loop. "Zak and Sara" and "Jesusland" make me feel infinite, which is stupid cliche from Perks of Being a Wallflower but cliches are cliches for a reason, somewhere deep down they express a truth.

4. The Corrs - Forgiven Not Forgotten: I dig The Corrs a lot more than most people in the States because we discovered them the summer before "Breathless" and In Blue hit. They were playing in Dublin when we went to Ireland on a family vacation and every one was talking about them. A few weeks later my mom saw them perform "So Young" and "Runaway" on SNL and was hooked. She went right out and bought Forgiven Not Forgotten, the bands second album (A huge hit overseas, barely known here) and we listened to it constantly. The In Blue happened and I had to force my friends to listen to Forgiven so that they could see they were much better than what had made it to the airwaves in America.

3. U2 - The Joshua Tree: Maybe its the Youth Group geek in me, but I find something new in Joshua Tree every time I listen to it. There are very few albums out there that actually make you feel like you're closer to God and this is surely one of them. My friend Chrissy and I were talking about it this weekend and she put it perfectly, "Bono knows something that the rest of us don't." That's the best way to describe it.

2. Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway: Kelly's first album is not so great, and My December is actually better, but Breakaway is Kelly's way of announcing her coming, her way of saying, "I'm not a flash in the pan. I'm the real thing. I'm here to stay." It was also the first really powerful female pop album we'd gotten in a while. (Christina's Back to Basics didn't come until a few months after) and I still shiver when I listen to "Behind Hazel Eyes."

1. Carole King - Tapestry: I've talked about my love of girl pop and female song writers, none of which would be possible without Carole King. I was thirteen and determined to find my own voice and "Beautiful" seemed to be rooting me on. "You've Got a Friend" still brings me to tears, "So Far Away" makes me drive slow, and "Where You Lead" seals a pledge of loyalty to friends and family. This is one of those perfectly flawless albums.

So there you have it, those are my 20 albums. Does anyone else have some that they'd like to share?

I've gotta cut loose...

So last night's post generated one of the most fun conversations I've had with my friend Katherine in a while...with anyone in a while. It was on AIM, so you can see the transcript! (I think I was very witty in this convo!) I changed the sns to our first names to protect us.

Katherine: and as for footloose...well im holding out and hoping for the best cuz its kenny ortega <3>

Me: I know I <3. its just that i feel like Footloose The Musical is a failed experiment. it was a valiant effort that failed soo miserably

Katherine: hahah well yeah but people will see it

Me: well you have Zefron power and 80s nostalgia

Katherine: exactly

Me: and I'm trying to figure out where and if Kevin Bacon can make a cameo because he absolutely should

Katherine: oh he must...im afraid of who they'll cast as the girls though...

Me: just not Vanessa and I'll be OK

Katherine: that's what im afraid of and miley would be worse...

Me: AHH! Demi Lavato might work though

Katherine: she's cute i guess...

Me: but as always I'm throwing Julianne Hough in as my pick for Rusty...not Ariel, she's got that cute but sexy thing that's necessary and also I'm in love with her

Katherine: hahaha yeahh i know

Me: but really, like Ariel is a tough role to cast because she's a pretty unlikable character but you still have to root for her

Katherine: yeah i agree

Me: and she has to belt like a mofo

Katherine: haha yes omg the threads on imdb about casting are ridiculous

Me: huh, I never thought of Anneliese

Katherine: hmm

Me: haha I love this poor person who thinks that Shia would do it

Katherine: there's too much here about jojo...its making me nervous lol...hahaha i knowww

Me: its like dude, Shia is a full blown movie star now he's not going to be in the footloose remake

Katherine: hahah yeahh sadness

Me: The Jojo talk scares me too not allowed

Katherine:

Me: its just like not allowed at all

Katherine): someone just suggested ellen page....i think these people are confused i mean i love her and all

Me: I love her too but not for footloose she couldn't sing it

Katherine: exactly! these people are confuseddd

Me): I think a lot of people don't understand that its the musical because in a straight remake, ellen page would be a great ariel

Katherine: exactly

Me): DUDE an even scarier thought just occured to me even scarrier than if they pushed vanessa in

Katherine): ...?

Me: what if they decide to ride the 90210 wave and give it to Shenae Grimes?

Katherine: oh nooooo

Me: She already has far too much recognition as it is

Katherine: indeed i just read lindsay lohan lol huh evan rachel wood...interesting

Me): huh, she could work I love her

Katherine: me too

Me: I think she's too indie to do it though

Katherine): never thought about it..probs

Me: just looked at my buddy icon...hayden wouldn't suck she plays an unlikable character on heroes and you still root for her kinda

Katherine: can she sing?

Me): yeah, she had a disney channel video a few years ago

Katherine: hmm

Me: she's got a decent pop voice

Katherine: could be possible

Me: and now that she and milo broke up she can break up Zac and Vanessa..they're a better match altogether

KatherineM): hahah i dont want her with zac i dont think...but i dont want him with vanessa so she can still break them up

Me: whatever, the real point of this is that Zac shouldn't be with Vanessa, he's too pretty for her and Milo is single again

Katherine: hahah yes

Anyway, that is both my own and Katherine's opinions on the subject...see there are others out there like me. Scary thought huh?
