my itunes is on shuffle. the ENTIRE thing. so intense. so random. so everything. ok, its not that dramatic. but i’ll tell you what is…ME!
i’ve been watching a lot of ‘ugly betty’ lately (per matthew and paulina’s recommendation). its such a novela its not even funny. in all honesty i’ve never experienced a spanish soap opera first hand. its always been explained to me through hispanic neighbors/school mates/friends.
but it only takes so many episodes of u.b. until my mind starts to novela all on its own. have you ever read a period book and begin to think just as the author wrote? do you ever hang out with someone for so much that your laugh starts to morph into their laugh? i hope these things don’t just happen to me…
prepare to embark on my ‘full house’ theory.
the 90s were all about watching kimmy gibbler storm off after her ideas were laughed at by the tanner household. only we knew that in 30 minutes or less, everything would be ok. everything worked out: dad’s neuortic cleaning habits, djs growing pains (which was also a good show) and michelle’s comedic timing.
now i’m sure you’re thinking, what’s the problem? we laughed, we cried, we mimicked “have mercy.” the problem is that it was only 30 minutes. we could’ve baked muffins in the time we would go across the entire spectrum of emotions. now look at homies in my generation (what do they refer to it as?) and you can see the same desire. situation, problem, solution in 200 words or less.
got a probelm with you bf or your bff? can’t wait till morning to solve it? have to call them at 2am because it burdens your soul. knowing they have to work in the morning but they hurt your feelings and it has to be repaired immediately. you’re so emo. and so a part of my generation.
damn those olsen twin and all the stress their little golden ringlets brought us!!
my thoughts are so on shuffle today.

Have mercy!
My, my, I remember that. Kudos to your ‘Full House’ theory. I’m a believer. Things must be resolved in thirty minutes or less (and in 200 words or less). Although, I do like me shows that have cliffhangers as well—although I’ll usually wait until the season is over then watch the entire thing at once so that it goes from problem to solution then problem again to solution, etc.
Yeah, our generation should learn to wait. Wait for information. Wait for conflict resolution. Wait for another person or persons so as not to inconvenience them. But not in a lazy way.
You’re mind may be on shuffle, but it’s on a particularly groovy song at the moment…
Why am I listening to Cyndi Lauper’s Girls Just Want to Have Fun?

Speak of Full House, you’re going to love Rebecca Romijn. Don’t look into it. Just let it happen.

what did stephanie do? nothing, right? that bitch was a waste of storyline.

Stephanie had her own spin-off book line, though. I think the writers felt guilty for not giving her enough during the show. Jodi Sweetin got screwed, though. All her best storylines took place off the show.
