Goals

If there's one thing I regret about my teens, it's the complete absence of a wild-and-crazy-out-of-control-biker-gang-shows-up-there's-a-car-in-the-pool-type of party. I'm talking about a cross between the party scenes in Sixteen Candles and Weird Science, people, but for reals. But now that I'm living at home maybe I can convince my parents to head out of town and realize this dream.

I'm not really sure what part of all of this is the most concerning: that I've spent some time today reflecting on my adolescent regrets, or that I am living with my parents.

Wherein I Act Like It's 1993 Up in Here

Did you see 90210 last night? I did! Within the first three minutes the words "Donna Martin Graduates!" were uttered and I almost snorted Sauvignon Blanc out my nose. If someone mentions throwing another person down the stairs like Donna I may suffer a stroke from the sheer awesome cheesiness.

We also know the identity of Kelly's baby daddy. I totally called it! Not sure if I should actually be proud of that, but let me have my small victories, OK?

It's so funny how my ritual of sitting down to watch this show has remained eerily similar to when I was 14, but with some small tweaks. When I was a kid, I'd hunker down with some cookies or ice cream. Now? Wine. And maybe some cookies or ice cream. Don't look at me like that.

PS No, every Wednesday will not be a 90210-related post. Don't give up on us, Baby.

9021-Oh My God It's Back

While I was a fairly devoted Beverly Hills 90210 viewer the first time around, I didn't have much interest in the new version. Pretty rich kids with problems? I'll pass. But an East Coast source gave me the heads up that this was some juicy stuff so I figured I'd check it out.

Guess who is completely hooked? Oral sex! Cheating! Drugs! Unplanned pregnancies! Does it get any better? No, it does not. Go ahead and mock my infatuation with this show. I probably deserve it. And no one's more shocked than I am that I am interested enough to tune in next week. I think this will replace my Gilmore Girls Tuesday night guilty pleasure.

This show has inspired me to start dressing cuter (judging by Coffee Guy's reaction today's effort was a good one), do something with my hair and update the make-up routine. It's important to have goals.
