TV PARTY

1. As much as I love Gossip Girl, yo, could the harajuku-backgroundness of the sole black girl* and the sole asian girl on the show have gotten any clearer with this last episode? It was bad enough before, but for their first speaking lines on the entire series, they talk in unison at a sushi party where they were like dressed up as Stefani-ani background fan-kickers, complete with fanny packs, possibly. I hope one day they go postal and wench-slap Blair Waldorf and take Nate on a sexy date to the old Coney Island or something.
2. I KNOW you been watching Friday Night Lights. The dude who plays Santiago, Benny Ciaramello, is on some Mayan apocalypse mystic shit on his myspace – his profile song is Philip Glass, and his top friend is the Kabbalah, and he references 2012 like thirty times. I don’t really know what else to say except – yall should read his myspace blog. When his character inevitably goes ballistic on Buddy Garrity, Lila Garrity or Tim Riggins later in the season, all I will be able to think about is how he is “the great wizard, and all the known universe shall know thy name.”
Don’t sleep on the Mayan apocalypse. My abuela was a Mayan healer, a curandera, and she could right fix up a headache just by flashing you the stink eye.
