A LOT. For example, I rarely ever eat donuts but this weekend, we passed by Krispy Kreme and I think I inhaled about 6. YIKES.<\/p>\n<p>And I think I totally overdosed on TV too. I caught up with most shows (except <i>Studio 60<\/i> and <i>Gilmore Girls<\/i>) and I blew through a cumulative total of 10+ episodes to get almost-but-not-quite caught up with <i>Smallville<\/i> and <i>Friday Night Lights<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I&#8217;m not sure why I still watch <i>Smallville<\/i> sometimes, lol. Lex and Lana (the characters and their relationship) are ruined to me and I&#8217;m finding myself really loving Chloe. WHAT IS GOING ON?!<\/p>\n<p>But <i>Friday Night Lights<\/i> is a completely different show and gawd, I absolutely love it. I cry for Jason, I get angry at Smash, I am sad for Matt, I am horrified yet understanding about the Street\/Taylor lawsuit, and I go &#8220;Awww&#8221; for Matt\/Julie and Coach\/Tami. This show? It sure makes me feel. I especially love all the men. They&#8217;re the ones that make this show work for me. The ladies are great too (except Tyra &#8212; after 13 episodes, I haven&#8217;t warmed up to her at all) but they don&#8217;t really hold a candle to Coach, Matt, Jason, Tim, Smash, and Landry. *hugs them all*<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m watching the latest episode of <i>Grey&#8217;s Anatomy<\/i> and all of a sudden, I see an old friend of mine from high school!!! He was playing a paramedic at the beginning of the episode and he actually had a few lines talking to Derek. Is that weird OR WHAT?! Back in high school, he was always the one who tried out for school plays\/musicals so I&#8217;m not surprised to find that he&#8217;s still working at it. I&#8217;m so happy for him. We weren&#8217;t super close or anything but we had a lot of mutual friends so we kinda ran around the same circles and went to school events together as part of a big group. (Robyn, if you&#8217;re reading this, it was Tim!) The other big surprise of the episode was the very end. You know what I&#8217;m talking about. Mmmm. \ud83d\ude00 Also, Izzie needs to learn when to keep her mouth shut. Chastising George about his marriage was SO not appropriate at that time. I used to love her so much. But now, I can&#8217;t stand her. I think I might even like George more than her. Which is saying a lot.<\/p>\n<p>The series finale of <i>The OC<\/i> is just days away. The penultimate episode was great but I couldn&#8217;t watch it without feeling sad. I did love the following moments:<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Ryan: I suddenly have the urge to listen to Death Cab and&#8230;.read comic books.<br \/>\nSeth: Really?<br \/>\nRyan: No.<br \/>\n&#8212; the callbacks to prior storylines and characters&#8230; Lindsay\/Sadie, making a list of everyone Ryan&#8217;s punched in Newport<br \/>\n&#8212; Taylor diving into the kitchen before shooting her mom. BWAH.<br \/>\n&#8212; Ryan: I don&#8217;t know if I mentioned&#8230;<br \/>\nSeth: You did.<br \/>\n&#8212; Ryan and Seth becoming blood brothers<br \/>\n&#8212; Seth: If we could&#8217;ve turned this into a body swap comedy, we could&#8217;ve squeezed another year or two out of this.<\/p>\n<p>I have high hopes for the finale. *sobs*<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;m giving up <i>America&#8217;s Next Top Model<\/i>. I have too many shows to keep up with and something has to go. Especially since I&#8217;d like to give <i>The Black Donnellys<\/i> a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just LOVE 3-day weekends.
