Regular readers of Dangerous, Dirty, and Unfun are keenly aware of my love for Gossip Girl. It's unavoidable, since I do my best to post weekly on the show. Here's my most recent offering.
I do the running diary, because it's easy, and it's a format that I stole primarily from Bill Simmons. Other blogs take a different approach. One of my favorite blogs, New York magazine's Daily Intelligencer, does a weekly Gossip Girl reality index, basically doling out and subtracting points based on how authentically New York a given episode is. Here's the most recent installment. I trust Daily Intel authors Jessica Pressler and Chris Rovar implicitly, since they wrote the book, or at least the article, on the Greatest Show of Our Time.
A recent addition to the weekly GG post is reader-submitted tallies, posted every Friday. Since it's been a while since I've lived in the tri-state, I've never had anything particularly insightful to contribute to the GG reality index. That all changed when the Hub of the Universe, in folded map form, made its cameo in last week's episode. So I submitted my comment, one of at least 300 on the blog when I posted on Tuesday.
Days pass.
Friday afternoon arrives.
AND MY SUBMISSION MADE THE CUT ! ! !
You'll recognize my uber-witty NY Mag handle, timmyinboston, attached to the very last item in the post. And super bonus, commenter afarerkind gives me a shout-out in the comments section!
I can hardly contain my joy!
