I really hope they were still filming The Hills when this happened so that we can see everyone's reaction. Or maybe there was a camera crew with them so we can even see it being reenacted filmed live for ourselves!

Seriously?!... SERIOUSLY?!?!

My night just got really bad. Three of my favorite shows just got canceled and we're obviously still feeling the effects of last year's writers strike. Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money were some of the best premieres of last fall and they took a serious drop in ratings this year when people forgot about their not-so-full previous seasons along with the little promotion they got this season.

I'm kind of at a loss for words. Eli Stone was a highlight to my Tuesday nights and I so looked forward to every Wednesday when I got to see PD and DSM on the same night. What will I do without Lee Pace and Peter Krause?!

This also raises another serious question: How did Private Practice (which is sandwiched by PD and DSM) escape a death sentence? Are their ratings really that much better? Yes, I watch it and yes it's pretty good, but it still has it's major flaws. I'd choose to watch any one of these canceled-too-soon shows over Private Practice any day. And to top it all of it's moving to Thursday nights after Grey's Anatomy. 

The plus side of this? Scrubs returns January 6.. for it's final season. And this also gives me some serious free time.

I think I'll go finish my Vampire books now. Woe is me..

The Twilight Obsession

A few months back Emily asked me who Edward Cullen was. We had both noticed all the flair dedicated to him on Facebook. I was completely confused and worried I had missed a big moment in pop-culture history. I'm usually pretty up-to-date on things like this even if I'm not really "into it". But Edward Cullen and his maniacal following had completely evaded me.. until now.

This isn't the best time of the year for me to get entirely consumed in something other than finals for school, but it's happened and there's no turning back now. About a month and a half ago, my friend Caity at school was reading Twilight. I asked her what it was about and she said it was about Vampires. Really?! She isn't the type of person I'd ever imagine reading about Vampires, but I listened to what the basic plot was and how good she said it was. Every day she had the book in front of her face and she said she even read in her car at stop lights.

I had to find out for myself how good it really was.

I started reading the first book on friday, november 7. I finished it the following monday morning and bought the second book that evening. I had that book finished on wednesday and started book three that same day. I just finished book 3 last night.. or early this morning really.. and am debating whether I should buy book four myself, wait to borrow it from Caity, or spend a few hours in a book store every day. (It's not out on paperback yet and I want it in paperback so it'll match the other books in the series.. I'm weird.) Dilemma! I really don't think I can wait much longer to find out how it all ends. Book three ended in a crazy cliff-hanger!

Anyway, I highly recommend these books to anyone. It all starts out seeming like a romance novel for teenagers, but it gets much much better.
