Thanksgiving was pretty awesome, wasn’t it? Lots of food, lots of family and lots of time to do nothing but watch reality TV show marathons and eat homemade desserts. Then you come back to school and it takes only a moment to realize that the comforts of Thanksgiving break are long gone.

Finals are coming.

So now instead of laying low and relishing in the sweetness of chocolate-y desserts, you are spending every waking moment in the library surrounded by books, highlighters, a laptop and hundreds of other stressed out students. You are starving, but the damn library won’t let you bring in snacks and you are far too busy to leave. You have to pee, but there is just no time for it! That paper isn’t going to write itself!

Stop. Breathe. Perhaps a little Study Porn will make you feel better. Here are some of the things getting us through this stressful time. Mmmmm, Coach Bags…. Read More »

The theme of last night’s Gossip Girl episode was post-dating awkwardness, as displayed by Serena and Dan, Lily and Rufus, and Vanessa and Nate. The ep also had at least two major shockers, some really random limited-time alliances (Chuck giving Dan a guy-code peptalk, what?), and Ed Westwick in a purple suit that looked like it was left over from Pee Wee Herman on Ice. I guess GG’s wardrobe department can’t win them all.

Three episodes into the season, and we’re just now getting into Back-to-School season. Hence, the lavish drama-inducing party is replaced by upscale bars that serve teenagers, and the Colorful-Martini-on-White-Dress shtick from the Vitamin Water party is replaced by some sort of acid formula that burns the victims’ hair right off her scalp. Ouch.

Am I getting ahead of myself? Here’s what you need to know: Serena and Dan are each having qualms about seeing each other back at school, while Blair and her drones are preparing for their yearly initiation of potential newbies (which Jenny failed at last year). This creates the perfect set-up for new character Amanda’s entrance. Just as Blair explains to Serena that whomever dates first wins, bam! Dan bumps into Amanda, which can only have a tragic outcome.

Well, it’s post-Entourage Monday, and I definitely saw this one coming. No pun intended.

Vince’s storyline focuses on his already rocky relationship with his new agent, Amanda. What a beast. But it’s not that they don’t like each other. It’s that they reeeealllly do like each other. So much so that Amanda gives Vince quite the proposition.

After Vince tells Amanda she is “cute” in front of E, (which pisses him off and probably makes him jealous) she asks Vince if he thinks she is “hot” and if he wants to secretly sleep with her, get it out of the way so the sexual tension can be relieved, and then get on with their professional relationship.

And – here’s the shocker -Vince agrees! Can you believe it? He agrees to have pure, unadulterated Sexy Time! And the show ends as Vince slyly slips away from the boys to meet up with his lucky lady. Read More »
