isn't it fascinating that, now that i'm done with my semester, there's nothing new on television? i'm stuck with more old episodes of 90210, where donna steals this other girl's designs and then takes an overdose, and the new guy's brother "rufed" valerie and then let the new guy take the blame for it.

it's been sort of emotional for me.

i desperately wanted some donna martin graduates merchandise for christmas, but i don't think that's going to happen. i may have to break down and buy some myself.

instead of television, matt and i have been taking full advantage of 3-at-a-time netflix. we've got an excellent turnover rate right now.

we watched the first disc of the cancelled television show wonderfalls, and i was disappointed. actually, matt was the one who was really disappointed, because the show came so highly recommended to him. i don't usually go for the whole inanimate objects suddenly starting to talk and then ordering people around. it's a little too joan of arcadia for me. except that actual people spoke to joan, and she often wore really great sweaters.

we got the second disc, but sent it back without even opening it. that's how discouraged we felt.

the real gem was mad hot ballroom, which we watched last night. those kids were awesome. my favorite quote, from this really annoying white girl:

i read in this book, it's called why it's great to be a girl, that scientists actually say that women are the more advanced civilization.

that's not exact, but you get the gist of it.

i don't think anything new is coming today, so i may actually have to, like, read or something tonight.


i'm off now to start my newest professional endeavor- (hopefully) designing a website for the duke's sallie bingham center for women's history and culture. there's talk of my actually getting to correspond with sarah dyer, whose zine collection is the focus of this project.

oooooohhhhhh.

aaaaaahhhhhh.
