OMG.STFU.I CANNOT EVEN.

I easily punched the arm of my couch into submission. It was all I could do not to wake the entire neighborhood. ROSE + JACK = 4EVERRRR!!1!

I'm not normally that invested in award shows. I watch to see my favorite people (and in the cases of Jenna Fischer and Tina Fey, their boobies!) and facepalm at the awkward scripted banter, but I felt an unexplainable rush when Kate Winslet won her TWO Golden Globes. I just love her so much. ♥_♥

eta: Why I used "wardrobes" instead of "award shows" is beyond me.

It's official. I have thicker thighs than John Krasinski. Goddamn, boy. Eat a burger!

Also, I'm in the midst of downloading the first season of Gossip Girl. I blame every single one of you. Whether you love it or hate it, your non-stop chatter has got me all, "MUST HAVE OPINION." Don't worry, though. All the peer pressure in the world won't get me to read Twilight. I'd rather give my vag a root canal.

OMG modern lit final at 4. *pees*

I don't care if this is considered spoileresque information. SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS TOO GRAND TO BE LEFT BEHIND AN LJ-CUT.

Exclusive: '30 Rock' Goes 'Mad' for Jon Hamm

Warning: This next story may make you pee your pants.

TV's best comedy and drama are about to collide in the most spectacular of ways.

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Mad Men star Jon Hamm is in advanced talks to do a multi-episode arc on 30 Rock.

Cross your legs -- there's more!

I'm told Hamm, who presumably got bit by the 30 Rock bug last week while hosting Saturday Night Live, would be playing a potential love interest for Tina Fey. Word is he's Liz's neighbor.

Although Hamm's deal isn't done, my Rock-solid mole assures me that it's happening.

Okay, go make your business now.

OMFGSTFU.*falls over*

There's a new episode of Mad Men tonight, 10 pm on AMC. For those of you who have been looking to check it out, now's your chance!

Also, my Colbert Report Emmy submission DVD arrived yesterday. It plays like a collection of my favorite episodes. I love it.

"Boy to the World" remains one of the saddest hours in Ally McBeal history. As perfect an episode as it is, with its flawless blend of ridiculous humor and heartbreaking reality, it still hurts to watch. Wilson Cruz was amazing.

So, yeah. I'm getting my Ally McBeal on. I'm in love all over again. I miss having an on-screen female oddity to relate to. Liz Lemon is a superb facsimile, for sure, but Ally had an extra dash of absurdity that I grabbed hold of and loved. She's the original hot mess, and it sucks that she now only exists in overpriced import boxed sets. And torrents.

Also, the chemistry between Ally and John, both as co-workers and meant-to-be oddball couple, still warms me. Skipper and The Biscuit = ♥

*****

This was supposed to be a potpourri post, but I was clearly overtaken by my renewed love for this show.

Bygones.

I love this show!

I usually steer clear of anything and everything related to teenage drama because I just. don't. care about their problems. But, because this is a documentary-styled show, it's focused on real teens with real problems. And, yeah, it's kind of obvious that the director's off-camera prodding at people to start dialog to further the plot and continue the conflict, but no reality-based show is truly based on reality, and anyone who still doesn't believe that needs a reality check. (See what I did there?)

Anyway, it follows the editing staff of Cypress Bay High School's newspaper, The Circuit. The drama flows like a burst pipe, but it's totally believable. I'm so sad that there were only 8 episodes; withdrawal arrived fast. I couldn't find the last two episodes available for streaming anywhere, so I actually bought them off of iTunes, which I never do. And now I'm seeing that they were both available at mtv.com - goodbye, precious four dollars.

Then I went to find a community so I could freak out over this awesome, awesome show with some folks and there's NO COMMUNITY FOR THE SHOW! I found that to be completely unacceptable, so I made one:

Watch the show! You can stream all the episodes here (if you live in the US, anyway. I'm not sure of MTV's policy on foreign streaming). Or, if you have Cable On Demand, you can watch episodes 1-6 (thus far) there. Just go to FreeZone > Cable TV Showcase > MTV.
