...wherein local TV connoisseurs intimate what keeps them on their couches.
- Lost "I'm addicted to it. There's gorgeous men, time travel, murder—it's crazy. I watch it under the influence of drugs. I do get frustrated with it occasionally, like, 'Just explain it to me, already!' I'm kind of sick of the constant build up and all of the new characters, but there's only one season left. Hopefully they wrap it up. Sayid is the most gorgeous of all the men. Naveen Andrews is beautiful. Mohinder from 'Heroes' is also pretty, There are some cute boys on 'Heroes,' but I hate that show. And I definitely hate Hayden Panettiere. She's an awful actress and she's not attractive. I feel like I might stumble across her under a bridge—she's a troll."
- It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia "It's basically the best show ever. It's irreverent as all get out. They say things on that show that I don't think are legal on television. There are babies in dumpsters and mentally handicapped rappers. Sweet Dee is a babe, Mac always has cut-off sleeves—I'm down with that. If Mac doesn't need sleeves, I don't need sleeves."
- A Haunting "It has the worst reenactments ever. EVER. The cheesy special effects—oh my God. People on the show are like, 'My trailer was haunted!' Then they hire actors to recreate the hauntings that are way more attractive than the real people. The people interviewed are going 'There was blood comin' down the wall and stuff. It was scary as f*ck. I prayed to the lord and got me a witchdoctor to wave a feather around.' I have a schedule set to that show. I wake up just to watch it. That's how I work off my hangover."
Bound Up
Currently reading: "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer "It's incredibly embarrassing to admit, but I saw the movie and now I'm totally into the book. So far, it's better than the movie. It's about a really f*cking sexy vampire and his not so cute girlfriend, who is mortal. No matter what they say, every girl has a thing for vampires. It's a very sexy idea. Edward Cullen, the main vampire, is f*cking hot as f*ck. I don't care about all the Mormon bullshit it's supposed to be about, I only care that Edward is hot. I'm literally reading it for the lamest reason ever. It's well written—if you're a teenage girl. It's not that cool of a book. I should be more embarrassed than I am, but I'm not. I have a feeling my fantasies about vampires will progress to something way more extreme when I'm done reading it."
One book everyone should read: "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess "It's all about ultraviolence. There's a young man living an extreme life in a gang, going around doing whatever the f*ck he wants in a futuristic, dystopian England. He gets caught and is sent to a rehabilitiation clinic where they experiment on him and reprogram him. He's forced to live like a 'civilized person,' without sex or drugs or any of that stuff. Even though he's a murderer and a sinner, you find that the people trying to change him are far worse. I like how the book explores notions of free will and control."
