Okay, I'll admit, this blog doesn't have much to do with Star Wars or muffins. It's mostly to do with a college student with some time to kill putting her ramblings and observations on the internet. Plus my roommates need a break from hearing me complain about sexist commercials and reality tv shows. A little bit of both, really.

John Locke LIVESI'm all caught up on Lost, so I'm really excited for the season premiere tomorrow. I can't decide whether I prefer Lost or Heroes. The second season of Heroes was pretty weak. The third season of Lost sucked at first, but I thought it got really good at the end. Time will tell on the fourth season, but based on this trailer.. ... it's gonna rule. After Lost is finished, they should make a multi-volume video game out of the show. I would totally play it. I've basically planned it all out in my head and trust me, it is awesome. 20:58 0 comments
It works so good!There's a commercial on right now for Nutrisystem in which a woman proclaims proudly, "It works so good!" And I know that I can be way more nit-picky than most, but come on, no one working on that commercial thought that sounded a little off? I was watching the commercial with my roommate and I said that it seems to me that the message is meant to be, "Who cares if I'm dumb, at least I'm not fat anymore!" Peter seemed to think I was overreacting slightly. He's probably right, but that doesn't make me not hate stupid grammar mistakes. Also, apparently this website is on stumbleupon now. So if you stumble upon it, enjoy. And support my sponsors. 10:36 0 comments
Reality TV, post 2I was sort of grossed out when I heard that there is actually a channel called Fox Reality now. I was especially grossed out when I saw this clip from one of their new original shows, "Battle of the Bods." In the show, groups of women and men pose in behind two-way mirrors while judges of the opposite sex rate their hotness and ranks them from 1-5. Seriously? Is this where we're at now? The objectified stand to win some money, but still. This goes beyond the realm of mindless entertainment and goes to the side of offensive. And disgusting. And a caustic reinforcement of our society's unrealistic and unnatural idea of beauty. I think I'm going to need to swear off reality TV altogether. Except for the Amazing Race, cause that show is awesome, and hippies always win. 16:09 2 comments
"Celeb" "Reality"So, I find myself watching VH1's Rock of Love with Bret Michaels. I must say, swimming through this sea of vapidity leaves me with a few questions:1) How do so many women own such a vast reserve of extremely slutty clothing? 2) When they say they are "models", they do mean porn, right? 3) What are the actual goals of these people, on the show, and in their vapid vapid lives? 4) Why do so many men think that gross fakeness is hot? 11:23 0 comments
i'll take "tarts" for $400On Jeopardy, one of the contestants got the daily double, and she didn't get it. When Alex read the correct question, he said, "Oh, it was fritter, and I'm sure you've had one and you liked it!" or something to that effect. His little comments can be so condescending There is also a category called "tarts" today, with questions like, "Who is Lolita," "Who is Salomé," etc. But I love it when he speaks French and mentions that he or someone else is Canadian. My mom does that all the time, too. I wish Alex Trebek was my grandfather sometimes. That would be pretty awesome. If he were, though, would I be ineligible for Jeopardy? Because then it wouldn't be worth it. 16:46 0 comments
