You know how they say everyone goes through a 1/4 life crisis right before they're about to graduate university? I'm going through one. I've come to the realization that I love talking and writing about tv. But not tabloid stuff. I could not hate tabloids more. I do love tv production and much to my surprise I'm not in love with programming right now. But I attribute that to the fact that I was going mostly paperwork at this job. My contract ends next week and it's not being renewed because Alliance is on a one semester per intern policy. It's stupid as hell. So now I'm confused. I interned at the tabloid show - hated it, the movie publicity firm - liked it but it was toxic, plus I liked it mostly because I loved my boss who promptly forgot who I was the moment I wasn't her intern anymore and I'm not really feeling tv programming but maybe that's because it was at the food network.

Lately I've been reconsiderng my schooling. I wonder if RTA was the right place for me, if I would have been better suited in journalism or even political science. But considering I hate formal essays and hundreds of pages of reading I doubt PS would have been for me either.

I know one thing, I want to get out of Canada or Ontario at the very least. I've been sheltered here, I need to get out and see the world. Maybe write about what I see.

I'm just confused. Is anyone else feeling this way?

So history is done. Exams are done. I have 5 shooting days of practicum and 3 days left of work over the next month.

On a side note explain to me why the fuck Dan Savage of Savage love is on CNN talking about Mary Chaney's baby. It's funny seeing Anderson Cooper try not to bitch slap the woman who's saying gays shouldn't have the right to have kids.

Ok must sleep, have to be up at 5:30am to go to the burbs so my mother can catch her flight to Newfoundland tomorrow morning.

You know the feeling you get after a few hours of studying? That 'that's it, fuck this shit' feeling. Yeah I'm feeling it. Like right now.

I have another 3 hrs of hardcore studying to go but I may move it to a Starbucks.

So if I never see TWoP again it'll be too soon...

In English class, bored.

Off to read TWoP:)

I wrote 10 pages on Gilmore Girls today. I'm not done yet but I'm close. I need a shower to stay awake and then I'll finish. Waking up early to do the works cited list and I still have 4 hours tomorrow at school to tweak it. All this work and I'll be lucky if I get a C. Yay!

If it wasn't for Luke and Chris fighting on Tuesday I would hate this damn show even more than I did before I started this paper.

Studio 60 rocked it tonight. First episode that made me feel that way.

I'm totally shipping Danny/Jordan now. He could not have been more adorable and the look on her face when he told her he was in love with her: priceless.

'My name is Lee Adama and I love Kara Thrace.'

I knew it was there but I certainly didn't expect them to admit it.

So awesome.

Almost as awesome as Roslin smoking weed.

Battlestar is too good to be true. Especially when they go all heavy on a shipper episode.

Hey folks, so I'm doing a research paper on the Gilmore Girls forums at TWoP and could really use your help. I've put a survey below the LJ cut. If you could answer it by sometime tonight that would be fantastic. Feel free to leave questions blank if you don't have comments or don't want to answer them. If you have any online friends who would be willing to fill it out let me know.

( Questions Here )

Some of these are actual buy-able items, most are this fans pipe-dreams.

1. A years subscription to tvtracker
2. ED on DVD. Screw music clearances just give me my Stuckyville!
3. Janel Maloney to guest star on Studio 60. Must snark with Danny. I don’t care if he’s with Jordan by then.
4. Veronica Mars to stop sucking.
5. Christopher off of Gilmore Girls. STAT.
6. Bree Van DeCamp to go crazy, get a lobotomy and take of her wig…..
7. Grey’s Anatomy to start actually punishing their Doctors when they do things that should have their licenses revoked. I can only suspend my disbelief so much.
8. 90210 Season 5 DVD’s. TvTropolis only has the rights to syndicate 1-4 here and has therefore deprived me of Valerie. No one deprives me of Valerie.
9. X-files Seasons 4-9. Yes, even 8 and 9. I don’t care that it sucked. I NEED them.
10. Luke and Lorelai back together. It’s just not fair.

Additional wishes: Stanley to get more screentime on The Office; Betty to finally dump Walter’s ass for Henry(he makes her palms sweat!); Pam to admit she wants Jim even if it’s too late; FOX Canceling The OC; Death of the Aerie Girls; CW realizes what a giant mistake it is, drops the green and reverts back to The WB.

Look at the new icon. If you know where it's from then you know that me using it as my icon is a sign of cautious optimism. That's right, you heard me. I'm finally freaking optimistic. Episode 12 can't come quick enough. It's gonna happen people, probably in 22 but it's gonna happen.

Optimism FTW!

Can someone please explain to me why I volunteered to go into work for a few hours this morning on what would have been a day off to sleep in?l

More importantly why the hell did I decide to stay up until 3:30? obv_hot_mess I blame your squeeing ass.

Also: Piz on Veronica Mars freaks me out. Hopefully he'll turn out to be the killer/what the fuck they try to stuff down my throat in the 3rd mystery arc. He just gives me the creeps.

Also note to Veronica Mars: PLEASE STOP SUCKING. I STILL LOVE YOU BUT I AM THIS CLOSE TO DUMPING YOU LIKE I DID THE CREEK IN SEASON 2.

End note. Must go to work now.

Man I miss sleep.

So obv_hot_mess plus One Tree Hill equals the best fucking convo ever. WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE AWESOMENESS.

Next week we take on Goth Brooke, Eugene Lucas and DEAD FUCKING KEITH. That's right, DEAD KEITH. I seriously can't wait.

She's blogging the awesomeness of OTH so I'm left with this brilliant Mandy quote:

'also, i am watching snoop dogg get arrested on the TV./..'
'why do they gotta arrest the dogg like that ???'

I just...really...words cannot describe the awesomeness.

Took him long enough. Never thought I'd be happy to see him dump her ass.

Also: MAC IS FUCKING BACK!

The Dean's wife is so the next mystery.

So I've read that SoapNet airs Melrose Place in syndication in the US. That makes me think that someone must be recording and putting these episodes online but I can't find them anywhere.

If anyone knows of any Melrose groups here on LJ can you give me a heads up? There's so way I'm gonna be able to stop watching. Kimberly just showed up. And she totally wants Michael.
I knew I never watched this show for a reason. It's crack.

Allison and Jake just made out! Before this I wanted Allison with Billy but she's totally hot with Jake too. I'm totally conflicted.

Sandy has totally given up on her accent. I fucking love it.

I could care less about Rhonda and Matt bores me.

Seriously I'm gonna cry when these Season 1 DVDs run out.

I'm scared to see Locklear show up. Same for Cross. When Kimberly takes off the wig I know I'm gonna die. I won't be able to freaking stop.

How come I didn't find this piece of trash before?

I have a test tomorrow at 6pm and I haven't studied yet.

I'm up at 7am and I'm about to start another episode. Marathoning is so fucking dangerous.

So as you all know I have a tv blog over at wordpress but I think the time has come to actually invest in a domain name and some webhosting space. The problem however is coming up with a name for this new site since tvdork.com isn't free. My head is about to explode and the best I've come up with so far are: MediaObsessed.com and PopCultureWatch.com I'm not sold on either and think they're too serious or sociological. PLEASE HELP. Also if anyone's interested in being part of a small blog start up in any way let me know. You can visit http://tvdork.wordpress.com to see my writing style.

Please god help me come up with a site name though.

popculturespong I'm looking at you.

Kelly Taylor needs to get the fuck off of Melrose Place. I get that it was a spin off and they needed her to establish the show but it's episode 3 and she's still there. I hate Kelly Taylor. More. than. any. other. person. on. tv. I wish the bitch would have overdosed during her cocaine phase with Colin. Ok, back to Melrose.

Can Logan please dump Veronica's ass. She didn't say 'I love you', she said yes. Non-denial denial.

His woobie face at the end when he saw her ignore his call was heartbreaking. He loves her way too much. Poor guy's had horrible luck with women.

Are you a member of Television Without Pity? Do you post on the Gilmore Girls fan board? Do you read the site but don't post? If so, would you be willing to talk to me about your involvement/interaction with others on the site?

My major paper for English this year is an Ethnography of the Gilmore Girls discussion boards at Television Without Pity and I need to interview folks.

Drop me a comment if you're up to answering a few questions one day via email/AIM/LJ even.

Do you 'know' anyone online who might be willing to answer a few questions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've made this post public so more than my usual friend only group can view it.

So please, HELP! Thank guys.

I need terms that crazy internet fans use. Essentially crazy fan language. All I can think of right now is fangirl and shipper.

I actually get to use these terms in an english presentation!
