the ones that wear bow ties are the drama geeks, i.e. not the date rapists. date rapists wear "dave matthews band" t-shirts.

― donna rouge, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 03:11 (fifteen years ago) link
weird.
― ian, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 03:12 (fifteen years ago) link
i mean, how do you do that costume?? it's just like any zombie chick & zombie dude.
would it be... gay... if i asked laurel for those gossip girl books??
― ian, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 03:13 (fifteen years ago) link
he owns a maroon velvet blazer
― donna rouge, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 03:22 (fifteen years ago) link
so, zombies but fancy-dressed basically
― donna rouge, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 03:23 (fifteen years ago) link
ian, ive read the books. theres a lot more photographed sex in the park and a whole lot more getting high. like the nate character is completely defined by getting high. its pretty good.
― My name is Katharine. I like to dance. (sunny successor), Tuesday, 4 November 2008 03:26 (fifteen years ago) link
paging Laurel and her publishing job...
― ian, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 03:33 (fifteen years ago) link
i really liked the books but they are different from the show kinda meaner and more distanced from the characters. they're funnier than the show is usually too.
haha i haven't actually seen today's episode yet because i just got home from work. lol ktla.

i would also just like to comment that jenny's dresses are cute and everything, but i'm not sure why they're taking the city by storm. . .
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 03:54 (fifteen years ago) link
oh yeah and in the books chuck is gay and owns a pet snow monkey
― My name is Katharine. I like to dance. (sunny successor), Tuesday, 4 November 2008 04:51 (fifteen years ago) link
and jenny is 5'2 with double Ds
― My name is Katharine. I like to dance. (sunny successor), Tuesday, 4 November 2008 04:52 (fifteen years ago) link
honestly it's like someone is constantly walking around with a big shine injector to blair's lips
someone is. they get their shit reapplied/readjusted before, during, and after every take, and hair/make-up/wardrobe have their own monitors so they can be like, "omg! hair out of place! cut! cut!"
― lauren, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 15:05 (fifteen years ago) link
i am kind of pissed that i just got a hair cut and then saw jenny's new one, because i kind of really like it (obv not blonde but you know, frustrating).
― ;n_n; (tehresa), Saturday, 8 November 2008 22:06 (fifteen years ago) link
it is cute
― Surmounter, Saturday, 8 November 2008 22:16 (fifteen years ago) link
right xp
wait so who IS kristen bell, what else has she done? last week's episode was like weirdly good. and i have to say i think serena looks better each episode. the boobage!
― Surmounter, Monday, 10 November 2008 15:40 (fifteen years ago) link
excited for tonight.
― Surmounter, Monday, 10 November 2008 15:41 (fifteen years ago) link
kristen bell was veronica mars - another cw show (I think??)
im excited too but has anyone else noticed plots dying or going nowhere? like when dan broke up with serena and she turned back to bad serena all she did was make blairs life hell for a couple of episodes and then revert back to good serena. also, how did the whole nate jenny thing suddenly happen?

Ian, you noob, you could just email me??? Take it to the electronic telegraph, buddy, and I will take care of you.
― Fred Dalton Township (Laurel), Monday, 10 November 2008 16:02 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah the nate/jenny thing is so lol. i mean, there were hints of it last season, but it's like 'he moves in, has shirt off, and BAM!' actually, i guess that's not so far off... anyway... l, i'd love to read these silly books at some point, too! we should have a gg book club LOL.
― ;n_n; (tehresa), Monday, 10 November 2008 16:09 (fifteen years ago) link
haha.
yeah i actually see the plot thing as kind of a little more real than some other shows that have to drop all the hints and make the build-up really obvious. i mean my life is kind of random like that, i dunno.
― Surmounter, Monday, 10 November 2008 16:33 (fifteen years ago) link
you're right about the good serena bad serena thing, it was weird how that disappeared. the nate/jenny thing is less strange, life is random, but it's not that interesting either, nate's just a whore. i also really dislike the arc about blair's desperation to get into yale, because i love blair and she's been nothing but desperate for the last few episodes.
― Maria, Monday, 10 November 2008 16:43 (fifteen years ago) link
this show has a one and a half episode attention span for story arcs.
― akm, Monday, 10 November 2008 16:46 (fifteen years ago) link
kind of true. i'm still very confused about a lot of things
― Surmounter, Monday, 10 November 2008 16:51 (fifteen years ago) link
it leaves you free to focus on the clothes and lip gloss. speaking of the former, i kind of wish they'd stop with the serena cheesecake (no bra, plunging necklines, microminis).
― lauren, Monday, 10 November 2008 16:56 (fifteen years ago) link
omg that's like my favorite new development
― Surmounter, Monday, 10 November 2008 16:57 (fifteen years ago) link
no, she's getting too tarty, not in a good way.
― ;n_n; (tehresa), Monday, 10 November 2008 17:09 (fifteen years ago) link
boring/obvious tarty, imo.
― lauren, Monday, 10 November 2008 17:17 (fifteen years ago) link
i always thought i would miss gilmore girls when it went off the air, but i feel like in some weird way by watching 30 rock + gossip girl i get my weekly requirement of screwball yale envy repartee and i don't miss it at all. (though last season of GG kinda helped in the not-gonna-miss-this department.)

now there's a dress.
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 00:34 (fifteen years ago) link
altho sometimes i feel they could work on her makeup, sometimes her skin looks too dull. especially compared to blair.
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 00:36 (fifteen years ago) link
LOL @ that ending.
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 02:00 (fifteen years ago) link
would smash that dress.
― ian, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 02:03 (fifteen years ago) link
so would the guy in the back, obv.

gossip girl is kind of a bad show, but it's more watchable than heroes is at this point e_e
― ian, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 02:06 (fifteen years ago) link
gossip girl is not a good show, but it's so knowingly and entertainingly shallow!
― Maria, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 02:12 (fifteen years ago) link
its not bad on purpose the way the books are but it still has it moments. i mean i want to punch the dad in the face most shows for some reason but i like most of the other characters and chuck bass and i wear the same cardigans apparently so w/e.
― z z. st. z z. uv (Lamp), Tuesday, 11 November 2008 02:13 (fifteen years ago) link
i hate just about all of the characters :( i think i might like mr. inconceivable, and hope he becomes a regular character but kind of doubt that happening.
― ian, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 02:16 (fifteen years ago) link
wait who's mr. inconceivable?
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 02:17 (fifteen years ago) link
he is in the books! in the ILS thread i expressed incredulity that someone so incapable of dressing herself is an OMGWTF fashion designer. i would like to once again state my disbelief and, furthermore, qn why jenny humphrey walks a stork all the time
xpost i assume he meant cyrus rose
― z z. st. z z. uv (Lamp), Tuesday, 11 November 2008 02:18 (fifteen years ago) link
yes i mean cyrus rose i guess. the guy from the princess bride!
― ian, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 02:19 (fifteen years ago) link
i don't know how i feel about this Aaron character. i mean yes he's ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE. but he seems kind of daft.
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 02:27 (fifteen years ago) link
ok sorry i love Aaron. my girlfriends don't for some reason but i would totally wrap him up and give him to myself for xmas.
serena's thanksgiving outfit!!!!
― Surmounter, Thursday, 20 November 2008 19:43 (fifteen years ago) link
serenas thanksgiving outfit was pretty great from what i remember which is mainly the color.
aaron? UGH!! i even like dan more than aaron and thats saying something.
