Sometimes, (okay, most times) the only thing that keeps me sane on Mondays is the anticipation of my Monday night tv shows. Unfortunately, they have been on hiatus for FAR too long. The placebo effect of the reruns has been just enough to get me through these past few weeks, but the new episodes tonight couldn't have come at a more needed time.
I know I'm admitting something pretty embarassing, but Gossip Girl is one of my shows. I came in on the third or fourth episode, but it's definitely a 'can't-miss' now. I love the drama and the sex and scandals. Oh, but I conveniently forget that they are supposed to be 15-18 and in high school.
Anyway...in case you care: We left off with Blair, on the brink of being expelled, losing Yale and her father's trust, using a picture (that Serena took!) of Dan and the new teacher-what's-her-name in order to get the teacher fired. Now, the rumor that they were 'together' was totally not true....until Dan went to her apartment afterwards and she said that 'since she wasn't his teacher anymore.......' so yeah. I have a hard time devoting myself to this show when Serena & Dan break up. Also, I love Chuck and Blair together. And since none of that is really developing at the moment, I am simply watching tonight out of loyalty and curiosity. :)
Now as for One Tree Hill, I'm gonna tell you whether you care or not. :)
I am one-hundred percent, wholly devoted to this show. I have spent too much of my life (six years) and cried way too many tears to give up on it now. Not that there is any reason to give up on it! They have sucessfully closed the gap in the 4-year jump, and I'm glad that they are in my age-bracket again. Things are getting good, too. Peyton and Lucas are (finally) together for real, they are getting married, and having a baby! However, tonight's episode promises some patented OTH drama. The preview (in case you haven't seen it, you can go here) hints at some tough choices ahead and a whole lotta tears.
I think when we last left the other characters, Haley had made a hard choice about publishing Sam's controversial essay, which may have a dire effect on her teaching position. They also had the first read-through of the screenplay with all the actors finally casted. (Btw, I'm still holding out for a OTH movie. It was, after all, Mark Schwahn's original concept for the story!) So I'm sure there will be a lot of stories going on aside from the Lucas-Peyton baby drama. Trust me, it's gonna be good!!
Needless to say, you know where I'll be at 7:00! I'm so happy my friends are finally back.
haha :)
(p.s. just to prove how much of a nerd I am, I titled this post after a song title...which is how OTH names all their episodes! fun little (nerdy) fact for ya.)
