I finished/handed in my thesis a couple of weeks ago and since then I have been decompressing. This has involved sleeping in late, taking the time to cook elaborate meals, reading books with no other purpose than enjoyment, re-establishing contact with friends and family, and watching a lot of TV that I missed out on.

Here are my thoughts on various shows.

( 10 Things I Hate About You )

( Chuck )

( Community )

( Dance Academy )

( Doctor Who )

( The Good Wife )

( How I Met Your Mother )

( Modern Family )

( The Office )

( Parks and Recreation )

( The Vampire Diaries )


So El-Jay, what's up?

10 Things I Hate About You continues to approach TV show conventions and subvert them because it is awesome like that.

( More spoilery thoughts )

Everyone on my flist who has so far seen Iron Man 2 has been so great about not giving even the slightest hint of spoilers in their posts - no 'I'm so happy' nor 'I'm so disappointed' - and I'm going to do the same.

Behind the cut, though, I'm spoiling to hell and back. So don't click if you haven't seen it yet. Instead, go watch Tim Gunn give his considered opinions on comic book super hero fashion through the ages (here and here). That man is a delight. I totally want there to be a 'design a super hero costume' on Project Runway.

10 Things I Hate About You is magical! How does it exist in this world? I think they've truly redeemed Cameron. Who would have even thought it possible?

Also: hooray for a show where the teenagers act like teenagers. The boys are such doofuses in the way that boys actually are (in this latest episode I am thinking particularly of Patrick, the giver of inappropriate nicknames).

Why aren't more people watching this show? It brings only joy.
