Number Post thingy..............
1. I bought a new Sony Vaio that was much, much, much too expensive and that I'm not even sure I like because I think Vista is a horrible operating system and I'm having issues with it already. It does have a nice 16 inch HD screen which I admit I am fond of but if I talk more about it I'll get really upset so that's all I'm saying about that.
2. Work is going well. I feel like I'm disappointing them a little bit but I'm doing the best I can and I learn how to do more every day and I can't beat myself up about stuff I can't change - which is something I'm pretty good at and doing right now.
3. I've been wanting to write about Gossip Girl since last night because I've been thinking lots of stuff but haven't had a chance to really talk it out with anyone so I'm going to write my comments under the cut for SPOILERS sakes.
My friends that I watch GG with have been kinda meh about the show since Ep 2 which I hated because I really have liked the show for the last three episodes but they LOVED last night. It's something about Blair and her socially destructive ways that we really love. We haven't laughed out loud at an episode as much as we did last night in a while. The show totally lucked out finding Leighton. She's so good at being mean and horrible, but then she'll start tearing up like in the scene with Vanessa, and my heart like clenches in my chest! I think I actually grabbed my heart and I know I said out loud "noooo she's crying!" with my pouty face on. My attachment to Chuck and Blair is rather unhealthy.
GOODBYE ROYAL DUSCHBAGS! I don't know how to spell that but I'll pretend that's right. I for one did not see the Marcus/Catherine thing coming. Were people spoiled for that because I certainly wasn't. I'm pretty sure my mouth dropped open. Why does everyone cheat on Blair? Poor Blair. I love Blair.
Chuck is one creepy son of a bitch and I love him like crazy. He is so hurt from Blair yet again dismissing him (after making out with him for goodness sake!) that I don't really blame him for planning her (second) social destruction. The fact that he uses Serena, sucessfully I might add because Serena is a selfish, stupid tool, was clever and totally served multiple purposes for him. First, his world pretty much revolves around Blair and spending all his time thinking about how to destroy her is better than him spending all his time thinking about how he misses her, he loves her, he wants her, he doesn't want other women, etc, etc. and Serena stepped right into his trap doing his dirty work for him. Second, he just wanted to see if he could do it. Mostly everything in life is a game to him and trying to turn nuSerena into oldSerena, especially now that they are "brother and sister" was too much of an opportunity for him to waste. The scene with him waking her up with the flower was so creepy and so Chuck that it was beyond awesome. Blake must love working with Ed cuz she always throws little smiles at him. Chuck actually does amuse Serena but they make perfect step-siblings which is so funny because I never thought that during season 1. Chuck and Blair really are like two of a kind she can deny it all she wants. I'm just sad she has to be dethrowned again, by Chuck again, this time without Serena, because then my poor Blair is all alone! At least stupid Marcus is gone that's a relief. Can you say, worst actor ever? The fun part of Chuck's schemes are that he doesn't actually think them through and they come back to bite him, so it will be fun to see how his scheming really turns out. Again, another thing CB have in common, though Blair is much better than him, when she's not working with amateurs like Vanessa. Who I love by the way. Sigh.
I hate Serena. She's amusing with Chuck and I really did like her relationship with Blair but they are fucking that up and I really can't get why. Blair has been a really good friend to her and Serena is just throwing that away for what? To have a few girls fawn on her every word. They do that anyway, at least I thought so. Whatever, if there is team Serena and team Blair, I am team Blair all the way.
I'm not getting started on NV because I hate what they did with them and I think it was a total waste of a storyline because I think they really had potential if they wouldn't have forced the storyline so fast so that they could end it even faster. Lily is back from her honeymoon and she's at Rufus's door like five minutes later? Sigh. She was so stupid to listen to Serena and dump him and marry Bart. Regrets much, Lil? Other than that I don't care about anything else.
I like that we have some CB set up but I have no idea what is going to happen from now on, I only know vague spoilers and not many include CB, so I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I can deal with C vs. B for the time being because as Serena said Blair always throwing Marcus in Chuck's face was their "twisted version of foreplay" and I think pretty much everything they do is some kind of twisted version of foreplay lol and I'm all for that but I really want to see them reconnect at some point too after they drive each other completely crazy and just deal with the fact that they love each other! That's part of how CB play out in my head. We need more scenes like in 203 though to balance out the love part of their love/hate relationship because we sure are feeling the hate right now.
How much more can I talk about this? Probably all night but it's midnight, I'm going to sleep, and best of all, shutting up!
