My bad.

It has been almost an entire month since I’ve posted, and I blame my job because it’s easy to blame things on. I recently started a bookclub with my sister, and the first book we chose was The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo because I already read it and thought she would enjoy it. We will see. Nothing pop culture related has really been happening. New season of Survivor, etc but nothing outstanding. The Social Network comes out soon, which is a movie about Facebook written by Aaron Sorkin. If you live in a cave, Aaron Sorkin wrote The West Wing which is the greatest show ever, and also wrote A Few Good Men and Sports Night. He is amazing. The movie itself looks pretty bad because the people in it suck, like Justin Timberlake and that douche-y and annoying kid from Zombieland, but I love Aaron Sorkin and the script will be great no matter what. Also, Facebook is awesome so how can they really go wrong?

TV has been lame lately, and I’m still watching the train wreck that is the Kardashians, which proves that there is truly nothing else to watch. I’m currently reading a book called The Lonely Polygamist which is okay, but each chapter is from a different character’s point of view, and I hate that. Like, I don’t care about the nine-year-old son in a polygamist family. Not even a little. There has been a boom about polygamy lately, though. Maybe Big Love is finally popular? There’s a show premiering soon called Sister Wives and I think that will be awesome. There is something intriguing about polygamy, even though the religion is bizarre (sorry) and plural marriage seems impossible and incredibly difficult. Maybe it’s like watching the Kardashians. It will be intersting to see that new show though, because it’s a reality show, I think, instead of Big Love which is so obviously fake… in a good way.
Once I get farther in the book, I’ll be able to have a stronger opinion. Next up in my reading queue is The Hunger Games which I guess is the new tween sensation and Devil in the White City, which might suck because I generally hate historical fiction.

In other news, Mad Men really sucks this season. Maybe they should have called it quits earlier. I think a lot of shows should stop while they are still good. The funny thing is that LOST producers think they did that, but if that was true, they would’ve stopped after season three for real. Grey’s Anatomy premieres tonight, which I am excited about but also a little worried because I heard they might be doing a flash forward thing like Desperate Housewives which is a horrible idea. We will see. Ooh also the premiere of 30 Rock which I have recently come to adore. Should be a good night. I’ll let you know.
