“It does have that icky government feel to it.” - Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hannigan), “Out of My Mind” on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

One 20-something girl takes on overwhelming political apathy and confusion with the aid of her favorite Vampire Slayer. You know her as Buffy.

When people relay information to me in terms of Buffy terms, I can much more easily comprehend them. It’s kind of like when you’re younger and learning math, and they try to trick you by having you count cookies or something you really like. (I do like cookies, for the record.)

Despite being published in December of ‘07, I still find this post on cogitamusblog.com very entertaining. It’s called “The GOP Primary Field in Buffy Villains” - and it’s combining my love of Buffy with my general apathy/confusion for politics. This is a perfect marriage that leaves me able to deal with politics in a new light. You know, one that makes sense to someone who doesn’t read about politics all the time. My philosphy in life is simple: Buffy good, Politics meh. (Fire bad, tree pretty.)

A Vague Disclaimer is Nobodies Friend: I do want to add that (on a more serious front here) I am someone who has always voted since age has allowed me to, and I do take the time to get informed so I’m not a blind voter. I encourage everyone to do the same. /end serious.

To clear things up right away, if you read this entire piece you’ll see that I’m not actually advocating people not get a higher education, unless they’re fictional. Now, I have a note of importance to make! James Lafferty (Nathan Scott on One Tree Hill) actually looks attractive with longer hair. I don’t like him with shorter hair, it makes his face look so square. Square faces = not that great. I’ll take the time to point out that I watched the season finale of One Tree Hill, mostly just because it was on and I didn’t want to move away from my fan when it was hitting my bare legs just so, cause hey - it’s suddenly hot! The finale wasn’t horrible. But I do not understand how they’re dealing with Peyton. Pathetic much?

The idea of her throwing water balloons from a roof does sound therapeutic, but there’s a point where you become a crazy ex-girlfriend and I think she’s hit it. She’s gone past the normal point of leaving a million messages, by painting ‘I love you’ a million times on a basketball court. I may not have great psyche into the male mind, but I do know that this is where some TV shows romanticize things way too much. That’s why Sex and the City is more relatable. Guys (or people, actually, in general) are more often jackasses who break-up with you on a post-it note. I’m not bitter or jaded by humanity, but I know better than to expect that kind of treatment. I see people making catchy bumper stickers about how Fairy Tales and Disney movies ruined life for them by having them expect too much. But will no one look back in twenty years and say the same of some of these shows?

Though I am not a huge fan of One Tree Hill (OTH) - I haven’t heard a bunch of fans say they’ve disliked any particular season. If I’m wrong, correct me. The thing that OTH is doing right, that so many shows have done wrong - is Continued

The networks cancel shows, that’s how we get new ones. It’s the circle of life, without any cute lions. Some of the shows that are canceled will shock us - our mouths contorting curiously as we say ‘huh?’ Others make us glad, smiling with the smug satisfaction we won’t have to accidentally stumble upon them on TV. Still there are others, ones that leave us grieving the loss (Veronica Mars and Angel - here’s lookin’ at you-z). Hopefully none of your favorites were dropped. I’ve compiled some information on shows that are now gone, or soon will be.

Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls), Jay Baruchel (Undeclared), Chris Parnell (SNL), Katey Sagal (8 Simple Rules, Married with Children) and Shiri Appleby (Roswell) are all TV actors who are in the movie I’m Reed Fish, therefore, I shall talk about it!

I almost didn’t know anything about this movie, except one day I was in trusty IMDB.com to see if I’d seen every movie that Alexis Bledel had been in. After all, I loved her on Gilmore Girls! I found this movie, which I hadn’t seen. Since watching it, all I can do is implore you to go rent/Netflix/buy it!

This is a refreshingly quirky movie full of all the best reasons to love a movie. You’ll watch it at least twice.

For music lovers, Schuyler Fisk is in the movie, and also performs her song From where I’m Standing. Listen to her on MySpace.

I totally come through and make good on all my promises. At least the ones I remember and/or actually want to. Huzzah! So, I told my Dad I was going to dedicate a post to him, and heeeeere it is! Initially, I was going to talk about how he’s all super-wonderful and how he reminds me wonder-dad, Keith Mars (Veronica Mars). If you can’t have a Gilmore Girls Mom, this is really just as great.

I have decided to tell you just a fraction-small reason of WHY my Dad is fun. (This is besides the fact that he likes to say his name is Toby Maguire, while he doesn’t like the actor.) A perpetual channel surfer (a horror to me, who never wants to miss a single second of the show I’m watching) my Dad flips around to all channel’s. So, the other day we were on some entertainment show and they were talking about Jennifer Aniston (our dear Rachel Green from Friends) and John Mayer, swimming. Which is apparently world breaking news, or something. But unless they were swimming in lava, I don’t think I care. Continued
