I've recently become somewhat of a tv junkie, and I'm a bit embarrassed to say but one of my must-see shows is none other than gossip girl (i guess it's one step up from degrassi).
Yeah, I used to watch little bits and pieces here during the earlier seasons, but it never kept my attention for more than two consecutive episodes...all the characters really annoyed me (why is nate so pretty? why does chuck talk like that? why is vanessa even there?)
But the show sparked my interest when they had that "sleep no more" episode. And I actually really enjoyed watching the chemistry between Blair Waldorf and Dan Humphrey (the initially unlikely, but most suitable pairing of the lifespan of the entire show).
Queen B & Lonely Boy? But they make so much sense with their witty banter and elitist film tastes~
my favorites are #10, #3,
aaand I've officially reverted back to 6th grade.

the revenge of the nerd
As I've been watching unhealthy amounts of How I Met Your Mother episodes, I can't help but relate to the show's protagonist Ted Mosby as he tries to find love in the large, often isolating, city of Manhattan. Yeah, the characters are not as iconic as Friends nor is it nearly as funny as Arrested Development, but there is a certain element of sweetness and warmth in the show as it highlights the importance of bromance/friendships and the concept of fate.
Also, it gave a second life to the careers of the beloved Willow and Doogie Howser. I think finding a perfect role for an actor is almost like finding a perfect mate. I love it when actors are perfectly cast in their respective roles- like they were born for their parts. Though it may often be limiting to most actors, which is usually the case for people who were strictly known for their roles in famous sitcoms, it is very comforting for the viewer to see that perfect match. And how nice it is for actors like Alyson Hannigan and Neil Patrick Harris to find that, a second time around.
Speaking of Alyson Hannigan, that girl has really got it good (not only in her roles, but in her personal life as well). From Buffy's sidekick to the horny band nerd in the American Pie series, she always played the ultimately dweebus. I didn't know this, but she's actually married to Alexis Denisof (Sandy Rivers, Robin's cheesy co-anchor in HIMYM) who also played a "watcher" in Buffy, which is where he and Hannigan first met.
And they have a baby too! Aren't they the cutest family ever?
Her life seems quite enviable. This adorable getup reminds me of the Office and Modern Family Halloween episodes. When I have a family, I'm so going to get my husband and kids to get all decked out for Halloween in an overbearing manner like Pam and Claire did.

New Joisey
Before moving here, the most exposure I had to N.J. was the movie Garden State and that it was the origin of a couple of indie bands.Whenever I'm hanging out with Manhattanites, they seem to scoff at me when I tell them I live in Jersey. I didn't know where all this hate across the Hudson river originated from, but I guess New Yorkers have some type of superiority complex.
I guess its a possessive/pride thing, but I'll defend what's mine even if I don't know why. (Kind of like how I would mindlessly defend Hacienda Heights to Diamond Bar folks... and how I would claim Bruin pride in front of any Trojan<- though there is some rhyme and reason behind that one.) Anyhoo, ever since I moved here, I feel like I've been watching all these shows located in my current resident state. I watched the Jersey Shore marathon...
And I'm sadly addicted to the Real Housewives of New Jersey... I'm actually watching it right this minute as I'm typing this blog entry...
I'm also simultaneously watching the Rome episode of No Reservations. (Anthony Bourdain is actually a native Jerseyite though he is reluctant to admit it... and his Jersey episode is what got me hooked on the show.)
So after watching all these shows (and killing brain cells), I've come to a the conclusion that Italians are awesome. They are so fiery and in-yo-face... unlike timid, passive-aggressive Asian-ness. I love it!

Suicides.
After having a drought of television-watching back in LA, I have watched more of the boob tube in the past few weeks here in Jersey than I have in the past year. And I have been mostly watching Korean television programming, since my cousin has five channels of it. Feels like Korea all over again. Then again, Palisades Park in general feels like Korea... like the quieter, suburban outskirts of Seoul.
Anyway, this past week or so, they have been showing a lot of coverage on Park Yong Ha (Korean actor who recently committed suicide) and his funeral ceremony. Needless to say, it's been quite a downer. Also, seeing mobs of Japanese middle-aged women wailing miserably about this younger star has been a bit disturbing. Would they cry this much for their own family? I guess the passing of PYH would be like their equivalent of our John Lennon or Kurt Cobain. There has been a rising tide in the suicide culture in South Korea... it kinda scares me. I remember when I first heard Daul Kim committed suicide last year. I was interning at the library, and I think a friend texted me. I dropped my pen.

couch potatoe
So aside from spending Memorial Day at the 찜질방 with my dad, I ended up vegging out in front of the telly with my friend. It's been a while since I've watched television to be honest... it's been so long that I don't even have any idea what movies are out right now.
So here's the gist of the trashy programs I've missed out on:
-Tori Spelling's reality show... we just marveled at how her husband can wake up to her face every morning (i know... we're cruel, but she's rich and famous so it's okay)
-the infamous Jersey Shore... wanted to know what the hoopla was about this show, but the overly tanned, shiny muscled bods made me feel kind of nauseous
-One Tree Hill- never watched this show, but can't believe it's still running?
-Gossip Girl... I had no clue what was going on, but apparently everyone's in college now... Blair's an outcast and Georgina (hate her!) is part of the "in crowd" now, because that's what happens in college right? The cool kids become trite & lame, and the losers become quirky & cool. I don't know if it's Korean programs with stick-thin celebrities that are getting to me, but everyone looked kind of fat (?)
-Bachelorette #8? or 12? or 57?... not worth commenting.
But there was one show that was worth watching for more than 10 minutes...
Future Food!
Basically, it's a show about these two chefs, Homaro Cantu & Ben Roche, who own "Moto"- an avant-garde restaurant in Chicago that experiments with molecular gastronomy. These guys are chefs with a mad scientist twist who experiment with food in order to make dishes that are more environment-friendly and waste-efficient. It is so coooool. If I was a chef, I would love to work in their kitchen... their kitchen is more like a science lab, and every show, they have these little challenges like trying to imitate seafood with absurd substitutes (watermelon for tuna?!) and making yummy burgers with the ingredients from cow feed. If I'm ever in Chicago, I want to try this place out! Unfortunately, it is rated $$$$ on yelp...

we heart the 90's
So there's been all this talk about a 90's party comin' up.
It's kind of sad how we can actually refer back to the 90's now as if it was some golden age way back in the distant past?
I know everyone watched Saved by the Bell... but did anyone watch this show???
The best part is that one of the main characters is a girl named Julie who played for the guys' basketball team. She was my hero~
i really feel like watching this movie right now and eating gross gas station junk food.
who shall i dress up as?
a). 1/3 of TLC
b). 1/5 of the Spice Girls
c). Gwen Stefani
d). Cher from Clueless
e). Typical Asian girl with Bebe shirt, black shiny dress pants, and platform sandals
The possibilities are endless!

junkie
I can get really obsessive/invested in shows (if you hadn't noticed)... though it's not the cool shows (i.e. 24, House, Dexter, etc.) but the ones others would be embarrassed of watching.
However Glee, I would say, is quite trendy nowadays and more mainstream than I thought it would've been when I first started watching it. I honestly didn't think so many people would enjoy tv shows where the characters would break out into song & dance.
And with the magnificent creation of twitter, I can follow the actors of Glee and see that they're all hanging out with each other & such (hmm... this doesn't make me sound like a loser/stalker, does it?) But it seems as though they are a really tight-knit group... not gonna lie~ makes me kinda jealous.
I actually had a dream last week that I was cast as "the Asian girl" in Glee because the girl who normally plays her (Jenna Ushkowitz... I wonder if she's adopted?) had swine flu. Also in my dream, Artie (or the actor that plays him) had a huge crush on me. I was really confused about how I felt about him, and I even woke up feeling somewhat conflicted.
I feel like Glee filled the role that Degrassi: The Next Generation played in my heart all those years. I seriously watched every single episode up until season 7 (or was it 8?) when everyone started going off to college. I have learned (from multiple cases) that when a high school series sends their kids off to college, the show is headed towards doomsville.
I felt like I grew up with those kids... I have experienced their first periods, their first encounter with drugs (when Ashley took ecstasy... that was hilarious), their first relationships, their first jobs, their first fight, their first cars, their first time having sex, their first pregnancy, their first abortion, their coming-out-of-the-closet moment, their first bi-curious moment, their first shooting, their first death (noo~~ JT), their first affair with a teacher, their first encounter with an online predator, and so on.
Yeah it's been 100% intense. It's a Canadian show, and I have yet to see an American show quite like it. It has all the melodrama and controversy of 90210 yet the cheese and naivete of Saved by the Bell. And I have to say that the actors on this show had the best transitioning through puberty... they were such awkward, weird looking little kids, but they all grew up to be really hot teenagers!
I recently came across an episode on TeenNick (they changed the name of the channel) of season 9, and most of the characters were unrecognizable. Plus, they all looked like babies. Blech. Though that Sav Bhandari is pretty cute.
So it was also quite a shocker when I saw lil Jimmy Brooks on some rap video on t.v. All the kids are growing up and expanding their horizons. Darcy's now on 90210... Mia Jones is on Vampire Diaries. They've all graduated and grown up quite nicely.

1. the doom of writing papers (esp. long research papers that are 20+ pages)
2. post-thanksgiving gloom

4. Hacienda Heights

felicity
There's something about the holidays (especially Thanksgiving) that makes me really REALLY want to watch Felicity. I think it has to do something with the warm, fuzzy hues or the main characters' soft, hushed voices, but these past few days, all I just wanted to do was bundle up and watch it for hours on end.
So I went to my friends' house (who happens to have all FOUR season DVD's), and we vegged. We only got through four episodes before we ended up falling asleep... (I'm telling you it's their calm, soothing voices)
Keri Russell, though not overtly attractive or charming, is my favorite leading lady. Something about her seems so "real" to me. She is down-to-earth, emotional, thoughtful, impulsive, socially awkward, and a tad bit nerdy. But deep down, she has a heart of gold.
As Sean said (when giving Ben advice in thinking twice before dating her), "Felicity is not the girl you date... she's the girl you marry."
And I LOVE the speech she gives to Ben when she breaks up with him in Season 2:
“The truth is I can't be with you like this. I mean, I know I said that I could, but I can't. I just can't compromise myself like that. I mean I'm an emotional person. I feel things and I need to be able to get upset and talk about how I'm feeling. I mean that's just...that's who I am and I can't change it. I don't want to. And the thing is you know that, you knew it and you still pursued me because you want something with me, you just aren't strong enough to have it which...in a way makes you a coward. And the saddest part is that...one day you're gonna wake up and you're gonna realize what you missed and it's gonna be too late."
And off she goes to get her darling lil' haircut...

p.b. & j.
So I have been really out of the loop with my one of my all-time favorite (along with everyone else in the world's) show "the office." Season 2 was my favorite season (so much tension!), Season 3 was pretty good, and then I just stopped watching altogether after Season 4. But then last week, I heard that I missed the Beesly-Halpert union, and I was really genuinely sad... like I missed something dearly monumental in my life.
So I googled "pam & jim wedding" and came upon this site:
http://www.halpertbeesly.com/
Is it real? As in did NBC create it or some random, hardcore "Jam" shipper?
haha some of the guestbook comments:
Congratulations. What color dress are you going to wear down the aisle?
-Angela Martin
Pam, you are like a daughter to me, and Jim is like a son. I'm so proud that my son and daughter are to be wed! Tis a thing of beauty! Glory be!!!
-Michael Scott
Anyway, I should really hate this show more than anything... Because of relationships like theirs, I will never, ever be content (romantically).

mousy brown hair
eek~~ can't wait to watch it this weekend!
As much as they annoy the heck out of me, I can't help but to feel a kinship towards these nerdy, wholesome, slightly naive girl-next-door types
Joey from Dawson's Creek
(I couldn't stand that sideways smile of hers!)
Rory from Gilmore Girls
an old schoolmate told me she reminded her of me... oh well at least she's not as annoying as her mom.
Maryanne from the Baby-sitters Club
Jo March from Little Women
Jo's kind of a stretch... I always wanted to be her, but I'm probably more of a mix of Beth & Meg. Besides the whole writing and bookworm thing, I'm not nearly as cool and adventurous as her.

glee
new show alert!
from the creator of "Popular" & "Nip/Tuck" comes
I realized I love movies/tv shows about high school but they have to be done with just the right amount of snarkiness (e.g. "The Heathers," "Mean Girls"). "Glee" definitely has outrageous/hilarious, caricature-like characters like "Popular" did (remember Mary Cherry?) as well as the same glossy, picture-perfect finish.
emma pillsbury- the slightly neurotic, germaphobic counselor. i hated her as Charlie in "Ugly Betty,"but here she plays one of those pathetic, starry-eyed female characters that you can't help but to want to root for... (e.g. Amy Adams... in like all of her movies) or maybe its because I could relate to her whole-hearted but hopeless adoration for the male lead. i just want to give her a hug.

butterfly in the sky...
I heard the saddest news today on NPR while I was driving to work... "Reading Rainbow" will be canceled after a 26-year run (the show was two years my senior!)It was the third longest running children's program on P.B.S. (after Sesame Street & Mr. Rogers). I remember, as a kid, watching this show everyday after coming home from school. The book recommendations by the kids at the end were the greatest... with that little sound after each book review. Da-dah-dun!
Aside from cuts from funding, it was reported that they also cancelled the show because it only taught kids why to read, not how to read and how it is more important to have programs with phonics and spelling. But I believe that it is just as important. I would've never given up precious "Duck Tales" and "Chip & Dale" time for a lesson on reading mechanics.
*sigh* I will miss you Levar Burton in all your cheesy glory.

dirty pop
After more than 6+ months of not watching any television (I lied... I did catch the season finale of gossip girl... totally unplanned), I just happened to stumble upon the MTV movie awards the other night.
Isn't it sad... I didn't even know the name of the guy who was hosting the whole thing. In fact, I only realized who he was halfway through the program because I remembered he was one of the dancers in that SNL skit (Beyonce's mv) with Justin Timberlake, Horatio Sans(?), and Paul Rudd, and I must've watched that clip maybe like 10 times. And what was surprising to me is that I actually found the opening act/skits of the awards pretty hilarious. I even found myself laughing out loud several times. Except there was this one part where Justin T. told the host that his penis looked like Fergie, which I found kind of mean. (Even I felt bad for her, and I really really don't like Fergie). Then, I realized living back at home, how deprived I was of American pop culture for the past few months. I guess a lot of it has to do with my recent, unhealthy fixation with k-pop. I couldn't help but feel a bit of an imbalance in my life... I realized I would go to sleep many uneasy nights without my daily dose of Conan & Colbert. When people would refer to a commercial or a new movie trailer, I would have no clue what they were talking about. I even almost forgot the beauty of Robert Pattinson.
Also, Korean humor and American humor are so different, but I appreciate the merits of both. There's something much more "child-like and goofy" about Korean humor... Koreans also use a lot more physical comedy, and even if something is really cheesy or lame, it can still be hilarious if the right person says it. Whereas American humor seems a bit more brash, more scathing at times. A lot more sarcasm is used. I don't even know what the Korean word for "sarcastic" is. But that's just my limited opinion from watching mainstream television, so don't take my word on it.
btw: I don't know when's the last time I've seen him, but Eminem hasn't aged a bit...

boys
There are basically three categories of guys for me (or I guess I should say most girls… though I am reluctant to be the spokesperson for all the women out there):
1. the maybe babies
These are the wide (or maybe not so wide) spectrum of guys that you would possibly date if they liked you and tried to pursue you, but sadly you wouldn’t really go out of your way if they didn’t show initial interest. So you’d either have to be somewhat convinced, wooed, or tree-chopped (in the most extreme situation) to liking this person.
"However, Jeremy does have one outstanding quality. He likes her. And this quality in a person makes them infinitely interesting to the person being liked."- Shopgirl
Most… or I guess pretty much all the guys I’ve dated can be categorized as a “Jeremy.”
2. the “heeeell no” guys
Guys you would definitely not date under any circumstances. Doesn’t matter if they have a million dollars. Doesn’t matter if you two are the last living people on this earth. These people can try to chop as much as they want, but that tree ain’t fallin’ over. Okay maybe that’s a little harsh. But these are the guys that if you knew they liked you, you would not be flattered, but a bit repelled (well, unless you’re one of those attention-deprived girls that will welcome any sort of affection from anyone). These guys are “deal breakers” in themselves (I’m such a b*tch). There are far too many of these.
3. Felicity’s Ben
So as you may already know, I love the show “Felicity.” And though Ben wouldn’t be the ideal guy of my dreams, I’m referring more to Felicity’s adoration for him rather than the dude himself. These are the guys that you would like regardless of their feelings for you. You would be willing to be shameless (e.g. moving across the country to attend the same college) for. For me, these “Ben’s” are far and few between. So when I find one, it’s like discovering a hidden treasure. Okay that was really cheesy, but I’m not really sure what else to compare it to. I’ve told a friend of mine I wonder what it would feel like to really confess your feelings to a person (in Korean this would be “go-behk”)… I’ve never really done that before without having 100% security of their feelings first (yes, I’m a big pansy). How frightening yet refreshing it would be though…
this scene made my heart hurt.
1. the maybe babies
These are the wide (or maybe not so wide) spectrum of guys that you would possibly date if they liked you and tried to pursue you, but sadly you wouldn’t really go out of your way if they didn’t show initial interest. So you’d either have to be somewhat convinced, wooed, or tree-chopped (in the most extreme situation) to liking this person.
"However, Jeremy does have one outstanding quality. He likes her. And this quality in a person makes them infinitely interesting to the person being liked."- Shopgirl
Most… or I guess pretty much all the guys I’ve dated can be categorized as a “Jeremy.”
2. the “heeeell no” guys
Guys you would definitely not date under any circumstances. Doesn’t matter if they have a million dollars. Doesn’t matter if you two are the last living people on this earth. These people can try to chop as much as they want, but that tree ain’t fallin’ over. Okay maybe that’s a little harsh. But these are the guys that if you knew they liked you, you would not be flattered, but a bit repelled (well, unless you’re one of those attention-deprived girls that will welcome any sort of affection from anyone). These guys are “deal breakers” in themselves (I’m such a b*tch). There are far too many of these.
3. Felicity’s Ben
So as you may already know, I love the show “Felicity.” And though Ben wouldn’t be the ideal guy of my dreams, I’m referring more to Felicity’s adoration for him rather than the dude himself. These are the guys that you would like regardless of their feelings for you. You would be willing to be shameless (e.g. moving across the country to attend the same college) for. For me, these “Ben’s” are far and few between. So when I find one, it’s like discovering a hidden treasure. Okay that was really cheesy, but I’m not really sure what else to compare it to. I’ve told a friend of mine I wonder what it would feel like to really confess your feelings to a person (in Korean this would be “go-behk”)… I’ve never really done that before without having 100% security of their feelings first (yes, I’m a big pansy).
