I think people who grew up when I did take for granted the idea of EVENT books. I spent most of my adolescence waiting with baited breath for one Harry Potter book or the other. Add to that the insane, giggly phenomena that is Twilight, and kids starting from the late 90s on were used […]

My Week in TV
 

The Bachelorette: She picked the right guy. They rode off into the sunset. I got simultaneously jealous and then ashamed of myself. It was pretty standard. Except that she let the other guy go before the last day, causing the producers to have to scramble for a new dramatic ending. I kinda liked that, it […]

The Last Comics Standing
 

With last week’s elimination of the last woman standing (Rachel- hilarious actually, should not have gone home!), and this week’s loss of strange-not-funny Jonathan has left a genuinely hilarious final 5 that’s not unlike a very strange boy band.

For the youth company’s 5th anniversary, they are taking on perhaps the most […]

Welcome Back Boys (and PJ and Stephanie)

With gem lines like “this ice makes my scotch taste like freezer” and “I hope it’s not Piven”, PJ and her boys returned this week after a hiatus that was inhumanely long. But even after such a prolonged absence from my life, My Boys showed up this week swinging for the fences with 2 episodes […]

As I continue on my epic journey of marathoning Dawson’s Creek, I’m realizing that this time around I’m much more fond of Jack McPhee than ever before. Why? I’m not really sure. But as I make my way through season 4, his best season, I realize that Kerr Smith’s charming football player is a much […]
