Sadness

So you have probably noticed that I haven't written anything in way too long. Not to say I have nothing to talk about. For instance, right now I want to talk about Puck singing "Sweet Caroline" on Glee and about this cute actor boy who is at least at LEAST five years younger than me. But I can't really dwell on any of these things for too long, because my schedule is so ridiculously busy.

So busy in fact, that I haven't even gotten a chance to watch most of the shows I love, let alone write about them. I haven't watched this week's Greek yet, despite it being on hulu and on my DVR. I haven't watched 90210 in two weeks and Gossip Girl in three weeks. I finally watched this week's How I Met Your Mother yesterday (awesome episode, by the way). And I am just so sad that I can't keep up with all my beloveds.

Fine fine fine, so I guess I really do have some time. I have started some new shows, like The Good Wife and Cougar Town. And I bought first season of Ally McBeal which I have been watching a lot. I think my main problem is that I haven't been around when these shows are on, so it takes me a while to decide to watch them. But beware of falling too far behind or I'll never catch up. And that's just not me. I am a TV watcher.

Oh also, I want to talk a little bit about the cute boy. Not Puck though. Even though his voice keeps replaying in my head and I keep picturing his smile and his biceps. The boy I'm talking about is Graham Phillips. My sister interviewed him last year and I really didn't care at all. But then I saw him as the lead in 13 the Musical (gives you a clue to how old he looks) and I loved him forever. And then I recognized him as the son on The Good Wife and I got so excited that I decided to write about it here.

Now I really want to write again soon. So just pray I figure out the time for it.

It's Summertime

See that picture? That's Seth and Summer. They are perfect together. He is a loser, but totally in love with her, who is pretty but sort of horrible (in the most awesome and lovable way). They are the perfect couple.


Who thinks that she will work quite as well
with my man, Ted Mosby?

Thoughts?

Repeat. And Repeat.

A few years ago, on Friends, Joey went home with a girl who he swore he had been out with before. He had complete deja vu in her apartment and even remembered how he hurt himself on a weird plant she had. He was horrified that the girl didn't seem to remember him. Turns out, he had never been out with her. Just with her roommate. Whoops, Joe.

Flashforward a little, to an episode of Sex and the City, in which Samantha had sex with a guy she just met (I know, shocking), and realized midway through, that she had done the same thing before. He thought she was just messing around, by pretending not to know him. She freaked out, because she realized that she had been with so many guys, that she was starting to lap around again.

Flashforward to this past Monday, on How I Met Your Mother, when Ted seemed to be going through a very similar ordeal as Joey and Samantha. Which is particularly strange, because Joey and Samantha were the whores of the show. This should have happened with Barney. Anyway, I was bored by the premise of the episode immediately, because whatever, it has all been done before. But HIMYM has this tendency to take an old premise and give it all of these totally original factors to make it amazing.

Instead of just expecting us to take their words that they had been out with these people before, How I Met Your Mother shows Ted and date (Lindsay Sloane, Big Red from Bring it On) on their first date in 2002, and on their second first date in 2009, simultaneously. And it was funny. The best part was that instead of freaking out for whatever reason, Ted and date decided to relive that original date and figure out what they did wrong. It was really cute, and I think I'm going to have to give my beloved HIMYM the prize for best version of this plotline. Mazel Tov!
