obligatory obama post.

today someone asked me why i hate obama. my response? i don’t. i actually like the guy, and while i do prefer more conservative fiscal policies, right now that’s all just, well, it’s this:


mmhmm. water under the bridge. water under the brooklyn bridge that you have to cross to get to dan and jenny humphrey’s house.

by the way, do you think that rufus and dan and jenny are going to move into the van der woodsen penthouse? that would be so awkward…

but i digress.

as i watched the inaugural speech today, i couldn’t deny that barack obama offers a definite message of hope. my hope? that obama’s hope will shake up enough faith among the individuals in america to inspire a little change in all of us, to step up and make those improvements in our lives necessary to make our country and world a better place.

i know i’ve felt introspective lately. anyone else feeling inspired yet?

have you heard?

the cw has a new show in the works. the premise? a spin-off of gossip girl that goes deep into the past of lily van der woodsen’s life. this is fabulous for many reasons, but i’ll give ya two:

1. josh schwartz project – need i say more?

2. the show will be based in the 80’s - and who doesn't love acid wash and aqua net?

rumor has it that this season finale of gossip girl will serve as a back-door trailer to the new series.

josh shwartz said: "we are inspired by the opportunity to tell overlapping stories and introduce characters that will appear in the past and the present—and hopefully enrich both shows. we love exploring fashion, pop culture, music and a heightened world that's just a little more fun than the one we actually live in. l.a. in the '80s totally fits the bill."

like totally.
