Gossip Girl is trying to convince us that Lily is all Rufus ever wanted of a girl

The Gossip Girl running diary is back. I got a weird vibe from this ep. Don't know why.

8:01 Awful awful awful. It’s snowing in the opening scene tonight. Nooooooooo!

Chuck is wearing a plaid button down. Ironic? Post modern? Post post modern? And of course he makes a gross “lick her wounds” double entendre. Chuck, you cad!

8:04 Oh hey, it’s the art purchaser that Rufus went on a date with. I totally forgot about her. I wonder how they’re going to fit that other woman in. Remember, he got her confused with the art purchaser lady?

Lily: "Let’s make lists." Has this ever worked out? It sort of reminds me of that Lifetime movie, “7 Things to Do Before I’m 30.” Lists are like radioactive dynamite!

8:07 Nice one, V. Getting Nate ensconced back with his shady-ass family is almost as bad as making lists.

8:10 Commercial for Adventureland just came on. Remind me to write an entirely different post about this.

8:13 Of course Nate assumed his family hated him without actually like, asking. Then again, maybe they do. And of course the Archibalds play touch football. “Football and distinguished public service. That’s what Archibalds do!”

8:15 Is Serena old enough to know who Trent Reznor is? She’s my brother’s age, and I’m certain he has no effing clue.

8:19 Sorry if the times are messed up. I paused the show to try to read lily’s list. Nothing to write home about, I suppose. Do you think the John Henry on her list is the owner of the Red Socks, or the steel-driving man?

I don’t like it when storylines drift too far toward bad Serena’s past. I’ve got an ideal I’m trying to maintain here, GG writers!

8:26 Are we really to believe that the frontman for Lincoln Hawk only has one index card of gal pals? He’s dated at least two women in the course of this show already! And he was married for a good portion of that time!

8:28 Chuck: "I’m not gonna play where’s Waldorf all night." Delicious!

8:30 Wow. B is crying to the dean of Sarah Lawrence? Wow.

8:31 And there we go. Blair admits to defacing herself. Now I feel bad for all the girls at Aarah Lawrence who are watching. Then again, who am I kidding. If B slandered Boston College on Gossip Girl, I’d be out of my seat cheering.

8:32 17 Again? Didn’t they make this movie already and call it 13 Going On 30?

8:35 B: "Garcon with the bubble butt"! Please don’t stop this meltdown, Serena.

Also, what is it with people rifling through people’s bags on this show? I’ve never rifled through one bag in my whole life!

8:38 Can’t V cut Nate a little slack? His dad is in prison! He helped put him there!

8:46 Thanks, writers, for not forgetting that Nate and B dated for like, ever. This show was starting to have less continuity than the Simpsons.

8:49 I like Serena with this flat hair. On a related note, I just got my new rolling stone in the mail (we get it for free, for some reason.) All I can say is, ooh la la crème!

8:52 Cmon, V. You knew what you were getting into. Don’t act like Nate being a feckless drip is any kind of surprise.

8:56 What makes Jenny think that Nate and V belong together? They probably belong apart.

Ok, I legitimately laughed out loud when Lily read the wrong side of the napkin. That was cheap, writers.

8:59 Nate and B getting back together should be the exact type of thing that would infuriate me. And yet I feel oddly serene. What gives?
