Blast you vile woman!


My mother... it's all her fault. I am usually not a big TV person. I hardly watch at the apartment.

If I'm catching a show, it's something Tyler has recorded on that TIVO-like contraption he has. We watch Family Guy, Law & Order SVU (home of hunky cop guy-- see Timeline of crushes) or I admit, I always catch the latest episode of America's Next Top Model. But ever since Buffy and the spin-off Angel were pulled off the air, I haven't really had a series I've been obsessively following.

My mother has changed all that. Damn her.

The show is called Veronica Mars. Yeah. I was skeptical too. I mean, what kind of weird writer names his main character after a planet. (says the girl who watched BUFFY the vampire slayer). But this show has taken over my life. It's sad. My mom has the whole first season on DVD and I'm not lying when I say, I've blown off meals, homework and phone calls and have watched for hours. I think I might get through 22, 1-hour episodes in less than a week! SICK.

Every time I start a new episode, I think to myself: "Okay this is the last one" but then the episode ends and a HUGE turn in plot happens. For example: we find out the main character may be inadvertently dating her half-brother... then a woman commits suicide but it looks like she might not be dead? Did I mention that most men in the show are rather good looking?

Okay- the plots might sound stupid and over the top (think The O.C.) but I swear it's SWEET! Time Magazine named it one of the 6 best dramas on TV. So yeah-- this is all I can post on at the moment because it's been pretty much all I've been doing.
SAD... maybe... do I care? NO.

I blame my mother for addicting me. She is a bad influence like that. I mean, you know my mom, she's always peer pressuring me to do drugs and stuff, and I'm all, "Go away, mom. I'm watching Veronica Mars."

Just cause I can't resist- here are some of my favorite quotes from season 1"

Logan (at the 80's dance): "Come on, everyone! Let's Wang Chung tonight! What? Everybody Wang Chung tonight! Wang Chung or I'll kick your ass!"

Veronica (another quote from the 80's dance): "J. Geils was right. Love stinks. You can dress it up in sequins and shoulder pads, but one way or another, you're just gonna end up alone at the spring dance strapped in uncomfortable underwear."

Veronica (threatening a bad guy): "You know, it's all fun and games until you get my foot up your ass."

Vice Principal: "Logan, May I have a word?"
Logan:"Anthropomorphic. It's all yours, big guy."

Veronica (taking a surprise photo of men's secret society) "Hi everyone! Say -repressed homosexuality!"
