Last May, the douchebags over at the CW cancelled this:
VERONICA MARS: ONLY THE BESTEST SHOW EVER MADE.
(And yay, no Piz in the picture)
And then they gave us (us? Who?) this:
GOSSIP GIRL: TOTAL PHAIL.
OKAY SO I’M LYING!!! LOVER AND I ARE TOTALLY HOOKED ON GOSSIP GIRL. IT’S SO BAD THAT LAST FRIDAY NIGHT, WE GOT OURSELVES “A ROOM” AND ALL WE DID WAS WATCH EPISODE 3 BEFORE PASSING OUT.
NOT SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN. GOOGLE: MOST LIKELY DRUNK.
For the n00b, Gossip Girl revolves around the lives of Manhattan’s Upper East Side young elites and it is made of Pure Fucking Win. And it’s just as witty as Veronica Mars! It sucks, though, because the series strayed from the books. I’m no purist, I see the need to tone it down for the parents and understand that the producers wanting to not make the show predictable but I would really love to see this brought to life:
Dan Humphrey’s write-up from Answers.com:
[...]
At his summer job at the Strand, he met a fellow worker Greg. They set up a writing salon together. Dan drinks an excessive amount of absinthe before their first meeting, which evolves into a giant orgy, and winds up kissing Greg. Dan now believes he is gay or at least bi. Later, his mom flys down from Europe and congratulates him on being gay. Later she throws a party. When Greg breaks up with him because he loves Chuck (who he met at the party) Dan knows that he loves Vanessa.
Speaking of alcohol (wait, what?), I’ve decided to stop drinking. I lack a long-term plan, so the goal is to “simply” survive this coming weekend and then I’ll take it from there. I have no idea how I’m going to do it and I can already see myself failing miserably (seeing that I am an alcoholic and so are my friends) but it’s worth a shot. It helps that lover has been threatening to bitch me out one of these days because of my constant drunkenness and the fact that I morph into this Total Asstoid who makes “weird decisions” whenever I am under the influence. I don’t particularly like being a Total Asstoid and the idea of lover bitching me out is skurrry, so I figure:
Or something like that. I’ve always sucked at math, but you get the idea.
So starting this weekend, I say bye-bye to the evils that are Tanduay rum, vodka, and the occasional bottles of beer (when I’m drunk enough, I stop caring that I’ll wake up with a frat man’s gut), and say hello to…over-the-counter drugs. Yep, that seems like a potential alternative. Anyone know any anti-histamines that would gurantee to knock me out for a good ten hours? Better yet, anyone willing to hook me up with Vis?
On a non-destructive note, I need twenty more stickers to fill up my Starbucks sticker card. I figure that the money I’d normally spend on alcohol could go to overpriced gourmet coffee.
Hi, my name's Helga Weber and welcome to my personal site. I'm 24. My first socio-political scandal will happen at the age of 35 and will include men, sushi, an African country, and lots of money. My lover is the greatest. 
Yes! Go go GOSSIP GIRL! Last February, they killed a show called The OC which was my life. Last September, they revived it with a east coast version of it called Gossip Girl. This show is just the most addicting ever. And I usually I get wet seeing Ed Westwick. I don’t know, just something in him.
Good for you on lowering the alcohol consumption though :P and don’t you notice they drink a lot alcohol in the series? Talk about underage drinking haha.
Hoopla,
how’s life when reading this?
If Alcool, I only drink White Wine. Allways control. Smoke the Air. If fresh it’s rather costly, politicians try to convince us all.
cocoa (Chochlade at least 85%) is the best anti histamine on planet earth. Stop. Take is a mix between joy and medicine. It’s bitter. I like it better than the sweet, plenty of sugar types. Don’t drink milks. That’s for Calfs.
make love as long as you can. Keep clean. Write a book. and have a good time.
haha. right? early new year’s resolution?

i stopped watching gossip girl after the 3rd episode. i just thought it sucked because it strayed away from the books, as you said. lol.
LOL! See, I’m the total opposite. I LOVE GG, I never could get into Veronica Mars. OMG TAKE IT BACK, PENN BADGLEY/HOTTIE HUMPHREY IS NOT GAY! /wrists …

Yup! Kristen Bell was the initial reason I wanted to see GG. I’m so behind on Heroes!
WAH! GOSSIP GIRL :P
I just finished the last of Heroes…ngek..that’s my reaction. GOSSIP GIRL IS TEH SHIZ FOR 07!
haha, this is the first time i’m commenting though i’ve stalked your blog for some time now. i love kristen bell, and the only reason i watch gossip girl is to hear her voice. so i prefer heroes coz she’s in it too :)
go starbucks planner
Hi!
Yes, go Starbucks planner worth over 2k pesos -_- Oh, consumerism!
I USED TO READ THE BOOK!
Ooh, Veronica Mars! I watched the first season almost religiously, but stopped for some reason :/ I think that the second season is what is on television here now. Could be the third, though… Anyway… I wish you could luck with quitting drinking :)
Yeah, was so disappointed she was in Gossip Girl, but then was ONLY some voice over.
She’s kick-ass in Heroes indeed, but other people have told you already.
If Helga thinks it’s good, then it must be. But I miss my Veronica Mars!!! :(
i havent seen an episode. And your cutting down on alcohol?? damn I should have been at LOLen’s that could have been your last liquor intake
I have nothing intelligent to add to this entry, except that Kristen Bell is hot.
Everybody is talking about this gossip girl thing then I should really give it a chance.
Congrats on getting away from alcohol, I’m not sure why everyone else it my close family loves it so much.
That gives Kristin Bell more time to guest star on Heroes.
My friend on Facebook shared this link with me and I’m not dissapointed that I came here.
Yeah. I know it will. and possible!
