Rockville CA

I never ended up writing a Greekap this week.  On the bright side, I'm fairly certain that no one cares.  I'll give it a quick once over anyway.  Rebecca declared that she is a lesbian and again, nobody cared.  I kinda thought that she was doing the whole she doesn't care what gender a person is thing, but alright, lesbian it is.  Um, nothing else exciting happened. 

Today, I desperately wanted to write about "The Climb," because I love it 

and it's on the radio all the time, but something suddenly came up (The Brady Bunch Movie reference).  I decided to continue on my quest to get into online shows.  I started with The Clark and Michael Show, then moved on to Quarterlife, starring Scott Michael Foster, or as I prefer to call him, Cappie.  But he also played Doug Wilson's gay son, Josh, on Weeds. Today I went for Josh Schwartz's new work of art, Rockville CA.  

I love Josh Schwartz. He based Seth Cohen off of himself, introduced me to the wonderful world of self-aware tv, and the indulged me with Gossip Girl.  So I had to give his online show a chance.  I only watched one episode so far, but in that episode was Ashleigh's new boytoy, Fisher, from Greek.  And he wasn't playing a hot guy.  I knew he didn't have the hot guy vibe.  I like him, but he doesn't scream sex machine. 

If you want someone who screams sex machine, wait an extra two minutes for Matt Cohen to show up.  Most generic Jewish name of all time?  Yes.  That and Josh Schwartz.  But it's a name I remember, because despite the fact that 90% of the people I know have very similar names, he stars as Aidan on South of Nowhere, the most interesting take on homosexuality I have ever seen. He is like insanely hot. Too hot. It's like how I feel about Sean Faris.  He is like almost too hot to look at.  But like his name, he is more of a generic kind of hot.  I could easily see him as an Abercrombie model. Just like another Josh Schwartz star, Chris Carmack.

According to IMDb, another South of Nowhere alum is coming to Rockville. Mandy Musgrave, who

plays Ashley on the N's edgiest show is set to show up somewhere along the line.  She is so pretty.  No wonder Betsy from Greek plays her sister on South of Nowhere.

Ah pretty people.  On one episode of Party Down, Ryan Hansen's character was explaining how he acts, models, and is in an "up and coming" band.  Basically

being professionally handsome someone on the show comments.  I don't find him particularly attractive, but he was a hot, popular guy on Veronica Mars (Dick Casablancas), and is apparently set to appear on Rockville CA.  I purposely chose a picture where he looks moronic, but it's actually how he looks so my not being attracted totally makes sense.  Leave the attractiveness to Matt Cohen.  And maybe to Fisher.  He isn't bad looking, just not totally hot.

I didn't see any other names on the list, but hey, I didn't know Fisher's real name either, so it's very likely that more of my TV pals will show up along the way.  And I'm sure to report it.

Check it out if you want.  But don't if you don't want to, because that's dumb.

Four Tabs

I love that browsers have tabs these days.  It used to be so annoying to minimize a page every time I wanted to see another.  Now I can just "command T" and I got my new page up.  

Right now I have four pages up.  One is to write this blog entry, one has season 3, episode 14 of Buffy on Hulu, one is Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, also on Hulu, and one is the latest episode of Party Down.  Three different shows up at the same time. 

Why would I do that?  Why couldn't I just pick one and stick to it?  It's not like the shows don't entertain me.  I really like them all, but my attention span just isn't loving the idea of 44 minutes of the same.  I guess it's good that I opted out of watching a movie.

The problem with Netflix is that if I leave it paused for too long, the player shuts off. So I have to make sure that I flip back to Party Down more often than I flip to the others.  But I don't always want to flip to that.  I like to see where my currently distracted brain wants to go.  Does it want the wise-cracking, uber violent high schoolers?  Or would it prefer to watch the adorably evil Neil Patrick Harris sing a duet with the obstetrician from Waitress (Nathan Fillion, I know his name, but I'd rather project the imagery of NPH singing with the OB)?  Alas, I keep returning to Starz newest project, directed by Kevin Arnold.  Kevin Arnold is fictional.  Sorry.  Fred Savage.  I still prefer Ben, because Boy Meets World is more my generation than The Wonder Years.  But I think Fred was cuter, plus he was in The Princess Bride.  I don't think I have ever seen Ben in ANYTHING else.  But I still prefer him.  And right now the brain prefers Buffy, but I have to hit Party Down anyway.  Later.
