Wow, "Gossip Girl." Way to take things to the next level in "teen" programming, though everyone knows it’s 20something girls and their boyfriends watching the show–most of us in A&E are fans, and by most of us I mean myself, Becky, John, and Ian. But anyway. Starting out the show with Chuck/Blair  fantasy sex, alluding to masturbation, tops coming off. . .how on earth can "One Tree Hill" compete with that? Oh, wait, it can’t. Nobody watches One Tree Hill.

I just have a problem with the sexualization of Little J, aka Taylor Momsen, who is definitely 15 years old. She looks 22. And I HATE the way they’ve started to style her like a Brooklyn 90s-throwback Cobrasnake hooker.  Plus the Nate/Jenny mini-makeout sesh? I don’t know, Gossip Girl, kiiiinda desperate. These latest episodes have been way too Jen-centered, but I guess that’s better than Serena/Dan, which was the most boring pairing since, like Marissa and Ryan on the show I never actually watched, "The OC." (The only good part about that was Peter Gallagher’s eyebrows.) The new Serena love interest looks mildly interesting, and I do mean mildly.

My computer is fixin’ to die. I’m just waiting for its impending departure from my kitchen table.
