The Useless Critic 2.0

Just in case you didn't know, The Carrie Diaries —based on the Sex and the City prequel book series by Candace Bushnell—will premiere this Monday, January 14 at 8/7c on The CW! Developed by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage (the duo behind Gossip Girl and The O.C. ), the show takes place in 1984 and follows 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw (played by AnnaSophia Robb) during her senior year of high school. After her mother's death, Carrie lands an internship at a law firm in Manhattan. I'm so excited! Despite what whiny purists and skeptics might say, I think this looks quite promising.

Places Sarah Jessica Parker Was Not This Weekend - a library. I was told by a ghost of a librarian SJP only reads what Oprah tells her to. thus, that makes her what I am:  an American. this girl and I were talking about it later and she was all like OH NO SJP HURR THIS WEEKEND. SHOULD HAVE SEEN HER WHEN THE HELP  WAS HUGE THIS SUMMER. damn my futile timing!  (this library is represented by a picture of a library in Wisconsin....rest assured, we all know SJP was in none of the continental 48 states this weekend). where will she turn up this week? Baz Luhrman's closet? I will keep my eyes peeled!

hold a gun to your head? teabag you? make you smell my crotch? bake pancakes? let me know; I'm all ears. I personally am probably going to see this. the Sarah Palin joke won me over. Sarah Jessica Parker + Hugh Grant = WIN sorry I've been so absent lately. life is rough. how was Halloweenie for you? do anything exciting? be attacked by ghosts? the Roma? H1N1? are there less trick-or-treaters now than ever???? :O
