Everyone Loves An Irish Girl

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone!

When I woke up this morning, I was disappointed to realize that I hadn't packed my "Everybody Loves An Irish Girl" T-shirt, which I bought at Target when I realized it was practically the same one Lauren Graham wore in Episode 1 Season 4 ("Ballroom and Biscotti"). Rory and Lorelai had just come back their backpacking trip across Europe, and their last stop had been stalking Bono (from U2) in Ireland. It's one of my favorite episodes.

My outfit just ended up being a plain old green blouse and some green knee high socks. What are you wear/doing to celebrate St. Patrick's day? I'm going to send you a virtual pinch if you're not wearing green!

Review of Parenthood: Man vs Possum

Can I say yesssss! Finally a show with an introduction again! I actually enjoyed seeing pictures of everyone when they were younger.

Sarah (Lauren Graham) was so on key in the beginning when she sent her kids to a new school. I felt embarrassed. Her interview was kind of awkward as well, but in a good way. And what kind of search engine is "Find Now Go?" They wouldn't have given her a schedule and then randomly pulled her out to tell her that. I felt bad for her :( Not surprised she didn't get the job.

Poor parent's who are just learning that Max has aspberger's. That must be really tough, especially when it seemed really scary when they visited with that family and all they did was talk about the billions of specialists they had to see. But, I love how this kid knows Bob Dylan never had a number one song.

Ugh. I can't imagine being in Dax's characters position. He has no idea what he's doing. But he sucks for lying to that girl. He should tell her he has a kid.

I don't understand what the deal was with the possum. It's not like it was interrupting their sleep or destroying their home. He said the possum was mocking him? Guess it was just an excuse so he could find the pot. I want to learn more about their father especially if he's being smoking pot lately. I liked that the daughter confessed to the pot, although it's kind of cliche that so-called "good kid" ended up with the pot.

And can they even just randomly tell a kid that they're being held back like that? I feel bad that Sarah and everyone always accuses her of being the bad kid.

I liked the end. I always enjoy when all the parents get together. And it's just funny that they started smoking pot.

Sorry if this is kinda jumbled because I wrote it as I watched it. Did anybody else watching it and what did you think? Or what did you spend you Tuesday nights doing otherwise?

"Parenthood" Tonight

Parenthood premieres tonight on NBC at 10 EST. I'm looking forward to this because of Lauren Graham, not so much because of the commercials made it look so good. It looks kinda eh to me.
I'll probably post what I think of the show either tomorrow or Thursday. I'm sick and have a midterm to study for, so most of my attention will be going towards that.
But for now, what do you think of the show?

Ahh, the Golden Globes.

I love Award shows. But sometimes I hate how much work I have to put into them. 2 hours of preshow (my favorite, I love watching the fashion) and at least 3 hours for a mere 25 Awards.

I thought Ricky Gervais was an okay host. There's really not a whole lot to hosting these days, there's not a whole lot to do with all the awards going on. It did, however, make me want to see the UK version of the Office.



It really surprised me that there is only 12 episodes.

Also, I've really wanted to see Mad Men. I've been interested in it ever since my Journalism teacher mentioned it in class and I may just have to since it won.

Award-wise, I was really disappointed Jane Lynch didn't win (I was sad Lea Michele didn't, but Lynch not winning came as a shock), but happy Glee won for best Comedy/Musical series.

Also, I was sad NPH didn't win, but that's life.

On another note, I'm really excited for Lauren Graham's new television show, Parenthood. Although it's not something I'd normally watch, I love Lauren Graham (and anything Gilmore girls). Also, Lauren Graham looked awesome on the red carpet: (via Lauren-online.net)

She's looking really good at 42 and I loved her dress.

So what TV show did you want to win at the Globes?
