It's been a while, so here's a little running diary of tonight's episode of Gossip Girl.
8:01—Another charity ball, this one of the "Senior Snowflake" variety. Awesome.
* Finally, Serena ditches her friends to see someone besides Aaron. Of course, it’s to rub her gifts to Aaron in Dan’s face. Ugh. Old books, Serena? You're going to give your new boyfriend a gift that your old boyfriend clearly wants? What's wrong with you?
* Aaron doesn’t do paintings or sculptures. He does installations. What a wanker.
8:04—Jenny says she's organizing her dad's record collection because she has to keep herself busy. I wonder if there’s a place where kids spend the majority of their days in some sort of organized, structured activity. I’m drawing a blank.
* V to Penelope: "Bye, sad Blair wannabe." Somebody had to say it!
* Rufus is (platonically) helping Lily put together the charity ball. Didn’t we see this in The Wedding Singer? Haven’t I already made a Wedding Singer reference in a GG blog before?
8:07—Of course Aaron’s ex-girlfriend Lexy is a complete harpy. They were made for each other. They should probably get back together.
8:13—Eating dinner. I hope nothing amazing happens.
* Ugh. C'mon Dan, I’m hungry. You can’t flirt with Lexy the harpy!
* It’s a shame Jenny is so hung up on Nate. Maybe she can meet a nice boy at school.
8:20—Jenny is getting mixed up with Blair’s flunkies again. That always works out.
8:26—Tuxedoed Aaron looks like he wandered off the set of Interview with a Vampire.
8:30—Bart Bass’s assistant is named Mrs. Landingham? Like Jeb Bartlet’s assistant in The West Wing? Coincidence?
8:31—Remember the episode where Mrs. Landingham died, and they flashed back to President Bartlet’s early days, and it turned out that she was a complete fox back in the day? That was a good one.
8:33—Have you seen the Fiber One yogurt commercial with Mrs. Landingham in it? I love her!
8:34—Precious. Chuck and B found look-alikes to be each other’s dates for the Snowflake Ball. I bet there was like, a casting contest or something.
8:37—I’ve seen this written elsewhere, so I’ve avoided bringing up here in Dangerous, Dirty, and Unfun, but it cannot be avoided: are they purposely making Serena’s breasts look enormous? Each week is more ridiculous than the last.
8:39—Huh? Jenny’s half-baked revenge plot is about to backfire? What a twist.
8:41—Are V’s latent telekinetic abilities going to manifest right now? That's what this dress thing is about, right?
8:42—They’re making a movie out of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”? I loved that story! Although I would have been even more pleased if someone made “The Diamond as Big as the Ritz.”
8:54—I think Nate and V are good together. Do you?
8:55—So is Jenny now gonna be the friendless renegade prowling around the UES? How many characters can Jenny possibly be in two and a half seasons? Why am I asking so many questions?
8:59—I don’t use the term deus ex machina often (ok, yeah, I do), but isn’t Bart getting into an off-screen car accident a little TOO convenient? C'mon, GG writers, you’re better than that!
