For the last couple years I’ve done some version of the best of TV in that particular year or whatever, but this year I’m going to rank all categories of pop culture. I’ll name my top five favorites in the following: television, movies, music, and books.
When people who get paid to do this for a [...]

winter 2010 premieres/returns
The end of the holiday rerun doldrums is in sight! But wait – what’s that other thing looming? Oh, yeah. The Winter Olympics. Which will further frak things up.
Now, don’t go thinking I’m not patriotic. I am. It’s just I’m not much of a Winter Olympics fan anymore. I liked figure skating back when Kristi [...]

clearly the best
I’m a relative newcomer to So You Think You Can Dance, and honestly, had my friend, Marcia, not forced me to watch over the summer, I’d still be clueless as to how incredibly awesome this show is.
This is the first season I’ve watched start to finish, as I didn’t start watching last season till the [...]

in anticipation of lost’s final hurrah
I can’t remember when I stopped watching LOST last season. I think I missed the last 10 episodes? Something like that? And it wasn’t because I got fed up with the show or thought it sucked or whatever. I’m not one of those fans. I’ve always had faith in Damon Lindelof and Carlton’s Cuse vision [...]

Now that I’ve seen every episode – most of them more than once, thanks to ion and A&E syndication – I honestly don’t understand [...]

What’s been happening in my life [...]

dear tuesday: i hate you
Everything was great until So You Think You Can Dance moved to its regular two-hour Tuesday performance/Wednesday results lineup (until now, it’s just been one hour on Wed.)
Even then, I could easily skip the Dancing With the Stars results show, since nothing really happens. Except that November 3 marks the much-heralded, much-anticipated premiere of V. [...]

really, i should’ve known
There are a few things I miss about Gossip Girl.
I miss the actual story arcs of Season 1. It seems the writers have exchanged the deconstruction,personal conflict and resolution that made me actually like the show for shock value and shallowness.
I miss Blair and Serena. No, not the vapid, debauched incarnations running around now, but [...]

Totally having an impromptu marathon this weekend. I don’t think I will ever stop missing Veronica.
