THE MEGA POST!

Wow. I have not been here in awhile. I blame that on my non-stop partying in New York. I mean, my hardcore study schedule. I mean... never mind. There's no excuse. I apologize to my faithful TV blog readers for not updating. You shall be rewarded tonight with a mega update!

First things first: How happy am I that The OC is back baby?!!!!! Yeah for clever Seth Cohen wordplay, pretend eating by Mischa Barton, fake California coastlines and wifebeaters! Tonight's premiere episode was good. Aside from the creepy Charlotte Ross (who played Kirsten's "friend" in rehab), the way they wrapped out the Trey storyline was well played out. The scene with Ryan saying bye to his brother and then crying on Sandy's shoulder was really well done. More importantly, it helped me decide that I want Benjamin McKenzie's new hairdo... it's like the traditional, good-boy look but still cool y'know? I've also decided that Julie Cooper looks a lot like Lois Lane from Smallville! I couldn't concentrate on tonight's episode cause I kept trying to picture the two of them together!


Okay so maybe those aren't the best pics. But I got tired of looking up "Julie Cooper pictures" after I saw this:
Yikes! ~SHIVER!~

Anyway, I also tried watching "Reunion" tonight after The OC, but it was just... too... boring! I mean, the actors acted like they didn't wanna be there and the script was so choppy! I turned it off after ten minutes.

Unfortunately, I missed the Olsen's Live @ Much. But thankfully, Micah was an awesome friend and taped it for me... Oh right, he didn't. Whatever, not still holding a grudge about it even though it's been a week and a half...

What else have I been watching? Well in a list:
- The US Open (That's right, Tim watches sports)
- Prison Break (starring "Mariah Carey video guy")
- So You Think You Can Dance? (Is is sad that I wish I could have cool hair and dance like Ryan?)
- Family Guy (it's back on TV!!)
- Mean Girls and American Wedding on DVD
- Laguna Beach: The Real OC and if this picture is true I don't even know what to say except HUH?!! The show's been making us root for LC and Stephen and now she's with Jason?! Am I totally missing something? Am I misreading the photo? Am I a little too obssessed with this show?

And finally, after my friend Emily sent me a Canadian Idol CD for my birthday,
- Canadian Idol
I've been eagerly downloading all the episodes I've missed since I arrived in New York and Ben Mulroney is still as annoying as ever. Can he please just stop talking already?! (Oh Micah, Hedley was quite good on last night's show I have to admit. Apparently Jacob is married. Not like I read that on the Kalan Porter message board or anything...). Anyway, in case anyone cares, I'm rooting for Melissa because Rex's Newfoundland accent is just driving me up the wall! I have to pause and rewind portions of the show just to make out what he's saying! Damn newfie!

Sadly, I have not been watching "What Not to Wear," even though one of my primary reasons for choosing to attend school in New York was the possibility of stalking Stacy and Clinton (half-kidding). I AM thinking of nominating my reporting and writing prof for a fashion intervention though...

Speaking of professors, I still can't believe I had a transsexual prof last year! Oops sorry, wrong picture.

Speaking of bad pictures... J. OH MY GOD!

This photo made it into all the papers here in New York: It's Brad Pitt carrying around Angelina Jolie's new adopted baby, "Some Ethiopian girl name." Sorry, I forgot her name so I'll just be calling her "Some Ethiopian girl name" for the time being. Whatever, as if she understands English.

Anyway, I think the whole Brad and Jen and Angelina thing is SO over now. But I still like this pic: I'm still Team Aniston btw.

Finally... I can't end a post about the past few weeks without posting the most searched-for picture this month: Sure she looks hot, but I'm so positive she was trying to pull a J.Lo and wear a skimpy dress for publicity and attention. Besides, that whole one-piece-with-holes-bikini look has already been done Eva! And I think Paris looked way hotter! I think I'm sweating a little.

On that note, I'm out. And I promise to update again soon.
