... just got a little better after watching Gossip Girl and Damages.

Oh GG, how I love thee. I've always been kind of 'meh' on Leighton Meester, but after watching this weeks GG I love her! She's so fabulously douchey and wonderful as Blair. Seriously, Blair greeting Jenny in her see-through white robe and micro nightgown, and then inviting Jenny upstairs to 'help her change', her ass in Jenny's face the whole time they were going up the stairs only to then prance around Jenny in her frilly underwear, before lounging seductively on her bed while seducing Jenny over to the dark-side was such good fun. Not to mention the fact that she left Serena staring after her longingly as she ascended the stairs in her see-through robe a scene earlier. Honestly, Serena looked broken hearted, and really if Blair decided that she wasn't going to snuggle with me on the couch and watch Breakfast at Tiffany's while we ate croissants like we always used to, I'd be pretty broken hearted too. Note to Blake: Gay it up, Leighton's stealing your shocking pink thunder!

All in all, episode two of GG was far more entertaining than the pilot and I'm looking forward to next week. Kelly Rutherford doing her best impression of Julie Cooper was also awesome. I do love my fabulously bitchy women.

Damages also started out in the most deliciously gay way as well. I always kind of shipped Ellen/Patty, they totally remind me of a TV version of Miranda/Andy (only I think Patty Hewes might actually be MORE devious than Miranda Priestly, which is quite an accomplishment), so the episode opening with Ellen and Patty sitting closely together on Patty's small couch as Ellen looks over at her tenderly was the bestest.

Patty: He called off the engagement?
Ellen: (gazing over at Patty) Maybe we went to far. (slight pause and more gazing) Do you regret what we did?

Don't be silly Ellen, she could never regret making sweet love to you! The only thing she could regret is that it took you both so long to realize how you felt about each other.

In all seriousness though, this show continues to rock. Glenn Close is brilliant, and I'm liking that Rose Byrne is getting a bit more to do with Ellen now. I have to say that I really want to know what's going to happen though. Stop teasing me Damages, no more foreplay!

And on a final note, I'm now completely hooked on The Devil Wears Prada Miranda/Andy fic. I've been gorging myself on it and I cannot get enough. I've even watched the movie again twice now since reading thelastgoodname's When in Doubt, Wear Red. The obsession is so sweet, but I'm going into withdrawal now. I need moar!

Edited: Because I forgot to mention that I also really liked the Dirty Sexy Money pilot. "I hate you!", lol. That was a fun first episode. "I had aaaaa scotch!" oh, Karen. I already love Jeremy, Karen, Juliet and think that the storyline with Billy Baldwin and his transgender lover, Carmletia, is sweet (*loves Candis Cayne*)

bah
I prefer Emily/Andy
granted, I've only read one fic for them, but it was damn good and there wasn't a million year age gap in there

what channel is GG on anyway?
and dammit, I missed bionic woman last night, though heard it sucked anyway so.. yeah
hope GG ain't on wednesdays though, cuz that's my criminal minds night... *Babbling*

Don't be silly Ellen, she could never regret making sweet love to you!

Oh my god, I was SO totally thinking that. @_@ Except then Patty drove off crying, so then I'm like, maybe she completely regretted it? Naaaah.

Ellen slowly becoming more and more like Patty is just. So. Hot. I can't believe there are only 4 more eps left (or is it 3?)

So clearly, the solution is to write some Miranda/Andy yourself. I've done my part for this quarter.

Also: the Patty-Ellen interactions are awesome. Glenn Close is pretty much the best thing on TV right now, and I knew Rose Byrne would make a great lesbian when I saw her in 28 Days Later.

oh snookums...i can't cosign on the lesser GG of all the GGs...even if kelly rutherford and tea delgado of television's "one life to live" are stunning and radiant...it was akin to watching a really bad MADTV sketch about the oc...and i really don't like blake lively...she nearly ruined the sisterhood of the traveling pants, for me...and it's kinda sad to call a very bad mimicking of a bad actress *cough* mischa carton *cough*, acting...and i know kristen bell doesn't have a show of her own anymore, but shit, she need a check that bad??...having said that, i do enjoy damages, and i'd like to go on record and say that patty makes miranda look like pollyanna dusted in confectionary sugar...glenn close is fuckin' scary man...

Damages has got me all tied up in knots, it's CRAZY!!!!!! The plot is so incredibly twisted, and now after this episode the relationship between Patty and Ellen has grown even more intriguing!!! I mean, seriously? What could have possibly happened that they'd both regret? Hello? I can't wait till next week ... ♥

Ok, let's go in order =P

just for the images (I love you already for that pics) I just can say Serena+Blair= HOT ,But I'm always on blondes/brunettes ships so...btw check this clip:

at 00:29 that stare it's priceless, also note the hand on the elbow *sigh*. And I still haven't watch GG, can you believe it? lol I already have the 2 first episodes though,waiting for me on my hard disk so I'll tell later if the show rocks or sucks (for me anyway)

I adsolutely LOVED Meryl Streep on DWP, loved her. She was like the soul of the movie or something. Neither I have anything against the age gap, but I like the Emily/Andrea pair more. I mean, I worship (sp?) Meryl Streep like an actress but that's it. Ms. Blunt on the other hand *dreamy look*. It's really bad the lack of fiction with them around. It's always happens that with my favs ships, like Claire/Nikki from Heroes i.e. *whispering* you should totally write a Clikki fic sometime ;)

Almost forgot, neither I liked the new sister on BW, she was even annoying on some parts. But the boyfriend got me more annoyed for some reason. Anyway the show isn't that good but I'll stay around just to see where they'd take it. Also the Sarah/Jamie thing seems promising *grins*

Just found your journal through your divine Miranda/Andy fics, and I had to say that I'm glad someone else sees the epic gayness on Damages. The slash really does write itself on that show. =D
