I just finished watching all the episodes of Quarterlife, which is now cancelled on NBC, after one episode, and I have to say that it is indeed another stupid decision made by a network that currently has very few good shows to go on. Everyone is comparing the cancellation to when they made they had the brilliant idea to boot My So-Called Life, and they couldn't be more correct. (Think about it, nbc. My So-Called Life was cancelled a decade ago, and people are STILL talking about it. Genius, you guys, really.) This show is something I can actually relate to, with a protrayal of my generation that actually rings true. Something that hasn't been on TV before. I'm actually upset I watched the episodes on nbc.com instead of th show's official website, because frankly, nbc doesn't deserve my hits or their advertiser's money. I'll sum it up this way: they replaced Quarterlife's time slot with Deal or No Deal. Seriously? Why not air something that stimulates the brain and emotions, something that has meaning other than a couple people screaming and trying to win money. I don't give a flying fuck if these people win a million, but I do care that a show was finally made that reflects my own feelings and experiences. Television is America's favorite passtime and it's so sad to me that we are given "reality" based shows that are the farthest thing from it. Quarterlife may be written and acted, but it's the closest thing to reality television has seen in a long time.



OK, now that I'm done with that rant, I have to say- I'm going shopping today. At a mall. To most, this isn't a big deal. But to me, it's a wonderful, wonderful thing. The thing is, I used to have a shopping addiction. I know it sounds silly, but it's true. I wasn't as bad as the people I saw on Intervention, but it was bad enough to put me into some pretty bad credit card debt. I had enough clothing to outfit an entire small country. It was rediculous. I sold a lot of stuff that didn't fit right or stuff I just didn't have time to wear (seriously, I had things with tags still on them because I just didn't have time to wear everything) and sold it on Ebay and actually made pretty good money. I also vowed to not go shopping for 3 months. Online shopping included. Well, it's been 3, maybe even 4, months, so I decided I need to reward. I won't spend over $100. Really. I promise.



I really feel like I'm just vomiting this up out of my fingertips and not putting any effort into giving any of this a creative spin, so I'm going to stop typing now. Next time I'll try to tap into the left side of my brain.
