Like a Malawian baby or a poodle

Every Monday at 8 PM, I can be found grinning ear to ear with glee gawking at Gossip Girl.
(If I am eating my weight in Diego's chicken nachos, I will be squealing too).

However, even though episode 1 filled the void, I was skeptical.

But episode 2? DELICIOUS. I laughed so hard at Chuck's quote I actually, upon request, verbally repeated it back to my roommate who was in and out.

(“For people like us, a college degree is just an accessory, like a Malawian baby or a poodle.” - It got it's own +1 here)

Episode 3:...MEH. Sotheby's auctions and money is getting boring. Back to the drama, please!!

Episode 4: Lizzie McGuire Goes to College. Over it. The best part was again, Chuck Bass's quote along the lines of "NYU men don't wear shoes, they wear sandals."

CANNOT wait for Episode 5, when Georgina is back to liven things up. Pardon my French, but vicarious bitching never felt so RIGHT.

Also, sometimes I pretend like I'm a cool pseudo-hipster (you know the ones that subsist solely on coffee, cigarettes, and crack) but really, I do love love love the music they play and compulsively download it as soon as I find out what it is.

Phoenix? LOVE. Try this and this.

That is all.

from this week's recap (i remembered!!)

"No, Serena would not have gone to the Met Ball during high school, and she would not have come to Tory Burch "highly recommended" by Anna Wintour, who hates booby skanks who do classless things like end up in celebrity weeklies for drunken, topless partying. Minus 2."

PS I SAW THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE AND IT WAS AMAZING.

Alexandra said...

OOOOH YES, I agree the Anna Wintour 'recommendation' WAS retaaaarrrded. Minus 25.

RUFUS IMITATING LILY. + 10.

Chuck bothered me the most in the previous seasons because I felt he didn't add anything to the show besides fueling Blair's insecurities, but now that he is more legit he is probably one, if not my favorite character because he has THE BEST lines this season.

Penn Badgley is so attractive, it hurts...

Chace Crawford needs to stop getting his hair highlighted.

I refuse to admit that I watch Gossip Girl online a few days after it airs.

Oh wait...

I'm shamefaced.
