happy leap day! xoxoxo
I really want to upload or link a picture to Goat Honey Pot’s MFK beep boop device. Hahaha, really I just wanted to type that nonsense sentence, and I’m wondering if even three people will know what I am talking about.

A Real Talk I Had With My Mom About TV
- My mom: Wait, so *when* is Mad Men going to be back?
- Me: March 25th.
- My mom: Seriously? How will I even remember this?
- Me: Well odds are I'll call you a few times throughout the week to tell you to set you DVR.
- My mom: So the only thing keeping me from Mad Men is basically the end of the civilization -- the death of TV, DVRs, Internet and phones?
- Me: Pretty much, though I *am* having a Mad Men-party... if you need to, you are welcome to attend.
- My mom: Oh. My God. Fuck these people. How long have I waited? How long am I supposed to wait for this show?
- Me: If it makes you feel better, the show has future legs because of some negotiation...
- My mom: I DON'T CARE. I NEED MY STORIES.
- Me: So I called to tell you how I steam-cleaned my whole house and you actually just spent minutes complaining about how you miss Mad Men? Did you know we were doing a Freaky Friday switch? Because no one told me...
- My mom: 2012.
![I am very angry with Sybil right now. I have many things to say about this, but I don’t want to spoil anything for people who haven’t seen the second season finale yet.
[SPOILERS… SORT OF]
However, I do need just say this — everything she did in the last few episodes of the second season reminds me of a conversation that I had with a good friend (male) about some of our good female friends from college in which he basically pointed out that the women (oops!) womyn at our school were super fun, super hot, super smart… and had the lowest self-esteem of any group he had ever met. I don’t disagree with this and have thought about it a lot since then. A lot.
Like my small liberal arts college, Downton Abbey tended to have a lot more eligible ladies than eligible male suitors. And like the Abbey, it was sequestered from the rest of the world. Obviously, this is half of the internal conflict of the show and is very much repeated in the second season… but this lack of options leads to odd behavior.
Not having a proper gentlemen suitor — or bevy of suitors — at the peak* of your hotness will do AMAZING THINGS to your self-esteem if you’re a straight lady, regardless of the decade in which you are living. And to be honest, I saw similar stuff happening to women in their 20s and 30s in Los Angeles for opposite, parallel reasons. (Though I have heard guys complain as much as girls about the same stuff, so maybe L.A. just sucks for dating in general.)
What happened to Sybil has definitely happened to many of my girlfriends, and is absolutely why I was screaming at my TV on Sunday night. And she knows better. Ugh, Sybil!
Me? I’d rather be single than with a controlling jerk. I guess I’m like the Dowager Countess in that respect…
*Peak in the sense that you’re still an idiot child, but your boobs are really perky and your skin has probably cleared up and you look good if you take the time to clean yourself up.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzk76lT3aq1qz78kco1_1280.jpg)

Guess who just showed up on New Girl tonight?
New Girl, let’s make a deal: you keep Dale on this show and I’ll keep you on my DVR.
Liveblogging Gossip Girl From My DVR After Missing All Of This Season And Most Of Last
- I don't think that's Serena's voice.
- What's going on with Chuck?
- This priest seems shifty.
- Dan's hairline is receding.
- Wallace Shawn is a national treasure.
- Commemorative plates. I want those. Not for a wedding, but for day-to-day stuff.
- Remember when Iggy Pop used to play Michelle Trachtenberg's dad? I do.
- Chuck Bass is great? Evil? Diabolical but also evil and great?
- Vodka and pills for morning sickness? I love Harriett The Spy, but I may love her hat even more.
- Blair knows it's tacky to wear a tiara before you actually get the title.
- WHEN DID CHUCK GET A DOG? That is a very cute dog.
- Blair's mom looks a lot like my mom in real life. No, my mom is cuter.
- AMERICAN WEDDINGS DO NOT HAVE THIS MANY HATS!!! But they should.
- The prince's accent seems fake.
- Hahaha. Brooklyn jokes.
- I don't see why Chuck and Blair can't make it work. (Though I should probably see this season to understand.)
- That girl from Eurotrip has a dress that's both neat and hideous. Remember when she hooked up with her twin brother? Worst twins ever.
- Serena's hair is kind of ridiculous. A bow of hair at the bottom of hair with more hair?
- The makeup on this episode is really good. I want to look that dewy.
- Why isn't Deroda in the wedding party? How do you spell Deroda?
- Wow, the #1 thing I don't care about is the identity of Gossip Girl.
- I voted for their first song as my 8th grade graduation dance theme song. It did not win.
- Serena has a column? What parallel universe is this show taking place?
- Orchestral versions of pop songs are great. They should go for AC/DC's Back in Black.
- Dan wrote the vows? Ahahahahaha.
- So... Blair loves Dan? Dan loves Blair? Serena loves Blair? Serena loves Dan? Chuck loves Blair?
- I need to watch this show again.
I miss this show more than I miss actual friends of mine.

Kardashian Syndrome. Fantastic.
Oh how I’ve missed you, Eddie and Pats.
This exists.
Fuck You NBC, I Just Wikipediaed Voltron… And It’s All Your Fault
I was making an allegory of my inner nerd being comprised of various factions… essentially a Voltron of knowledge… and to ensure I had the correct lion as the leader, I stumbled upon this:
“Voltron featured a team of five young pilots commanding five robot lions which could be combined to form Voltron. In this undefined future era, the Voltron Force was in charge of protecting the planet Arus (ruled by Princess Allura) from the evil King Zarkon (from planet Doom), his son Lotor, and the witch Haggar, who would create huge Robeasts to terrorize the people of Arus. Despite being the first of the two robots to appear on American television, the “GoLion” version of Voltron was regarded as “Voltron III” within the storyline because, within the original planned “three-Voltron” continuity, Arus was the furthest setting from Earth’s side of the universe (“Voltron I” being intended for the Near Universe, and “Voltron II” for the Middle Universe).”
Why? Because my TV nerd is the strongest and most commanding of all my nerds. It’s not even an inner nerd anymore. It’s out and it’s proud.*
*But really, I had to look up Voltron today? Really?
What Did I Do To My Life?
I just recognized a guy on Secret Circle because he is a regular on Make It Or Break It.
I’m 34.
Seriously, though, does anyone know when Make It Or Break It comes back?

I’ve had a crush on this guy for awhile. Thanking the dogsitter makes it official.
