Wow. Just...Wow. *****SPOILER ALERT******
Just watched Fringe. I have to tell you, I did not see that coming. Although, as soon as they whipped out the ultrasound and proclaimed "I see movement" I knew what was happening. I don't think Peter will be able to choose "our" universe if his unborn child is in the other universe. Especially since we know for sure he still has feelings for Fauxlivia. I knew he did. I was always hesitant to forgive him. What will this mean? Holy shit people, this show is amazing!
Ok, I have a very terrible secret to admit. This isn't easy for me. Hello, my name is Morgan T. and I am addicted to....Jersey Shore. I know, I know!! How could a discerning, intelligent woman like me possibly be so in love with the weekly exploits of the most stupid humans on television today? I'll tell you how. Watching these morons is entirely too entertaining for words. I feel like an Anthropologist studying a completely foreign culture. The fighting, the drinking, the drama. Ok... maybe not completely foreign. However, in all of my crazy younger days, not once did I ever punch my boyfriend in the face! I'm pretty sure my grasp of the English language was infinitely better as well. I have to say that I felt pretty bad for Sammi this past episode. Ronnie completely destroyed all of her belongings in a steroid fueled rage. Then when she was leaving, he cried "What did I do?" Sheesh. However, in all of my sympathy for them as they cried and screamed at each other, I was laughing my ass off. Such is the genius of Jersey Shore.
Another recent television addiction for me is Man v. Food. Something about this man stuffing his face with greasy meat while sweating profusely is such a turn on for me. He is all that is man. So disgusting and yet so happy. Oh Jesus, I just re-read that sentence and it makes me sound like a crazy person. Oh well, I'm keeping it in there. Another terrible confession. It's all coming out here people!
Two episodes of Glee this week! I have to say I preferred Tuesday night's episode. I really liked the Kurt/Blaine storyline, as well as the Rachel storyline. Finn/Quinn, not so much. They really annoy me. I loved how Santana gave Finn mono to stir the pot though. That was fantastically devious. I didn't really like the part when Tina started crying during her solo, it seemed strange and I felt confused and weirded out by the whole sequence. I never really liked the song "Fireworks" by Katy Perry, but I sure liked when Rachel did it. In fact, it was the only song from the two episodes I downloaded.
Well, I'm off to watch this week's episode of An Idiot Abroad and The Ricky Gervais Show, not necessarily in that order. The latter makes me laugh so hard I have to pause and sometimes rewind my DVR so I don't miss anything due to hysterical laughter. My roommates don't like it that much, which goes to show how subjective comedy is. If you combine the comedy of Ricky Gervais and Allie Brosh, that is my true comedic identity. It speaks to me the way the Bible speaks to religious people.
Well before I confess additional soul revealing and embarrassing details about myself, I think I'll wrap this up!
Later gaters

Let's talk
Can we talk? Great.
I watched Fringe twice last week due to a ridiculous power struggle. I don't think I won. Oh well, I ended up getting to watch it twice. It was a good episode, but I felt that very little actually happened in it. I'm wondering if Peter is going to have any strange side effects due to his accidental ingestion. Hopefully some new super cool brain power. I'm kind of in the mood right now to not want Olivia and him to get back together. Maybe I'm just not into the whole "happily ever after" bullshit. Either way, he fucked up, plain and simple. No amount of apologizing is going to change the facts. Perhaps I'm just not a very forgiving person. Having said that however, I do not want anything bad to happen to him, that is for sure. And can we please address his strange hair poof? It was like a cartoon character. He's still super sexy though. I also love that the show is filmed in Vancouver. The rainy, grey shots really remind me of X-Files.
The show I've been very into in the past couple weeks is Californication. The new season just started. I'm very happy that Hank and Karen are broken up. I love it when Hank is all tortured. Remember that hilarious scene in season one when he pukes on the painting after being caught having sex at Karen's dinner party? Classic. The show has the perfect tone right now. Kind of dark, but in a "fuck it" kind of way. Loving it!
I received a comment on my last post about not mentioning Glee as one of my favorite shows. Well, that is indeed one of my favorites. There hasn't been a new episode in approximately 2.36 years though and I'm forgetting it exists. I definitely preferred the first season. This season feels like they are trying too hard. Plus, I like Rachel and Finn duets, and now everyone sings all the time. The one thing I'm love love loving about this season is the addition of Darren Criss. I love the chemistry between Kurt and him. I think that Chris Colfer is such a good looking kid. It's great. It begins again Feb 6 after the Superbowl, so that is mildly exciting.
A new show that I have recently gotten into (it just premiered last week, so there has only been one episode) is An Idiot Abroad. It is a travel show that is produced by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant (genius'). If you have ever seen The Ricky Gervais Show and enjoyed it, you will like this show. If you find this kind of humour a bit mean-spirited, then you would probably not enjoy this show. Basically, Karl Pilkington travels to the Seven Wonders of the World and complains and says vaguely racist things. He is incredibly simple. I think I like it because I know someone exactly like him very well and I kind of hate the guy.
Well kids, my time of believing myself to be a bad person has passed. I'm just who I am and if you don't like it, you can go fuck yourself! Hooray!
Until next time!

Quick update
So I'm not finished making posts on this blog, FYI. I think once the winter break is over on my favorite TV shows I will start making regular posts discussing the most recent episodes. I watch a lot of TV, so that could mean multiple posts a week or none at all. Depends on my ever changing mood...

Dec 24, 2010 - My favorite television shows (parental warning, language)
Well, I've decided to start a random blog for no reason. Just a place for me to vent about shit to whoever wants to follow. I've recently became rather addicted to the blog "hyperbole and a half". It is genius and should be read by everyone.
I've recently started reflecting on my life and who I am. I could go on and on about how I don't believe I'm a very good person, but that would be boring. Instead I think I'll talk about the television shows I enjoy and why.
The whole concept of Olivia being replaced by another version of herself I've found to be riveting. I cannot believe that Peter did not recognize that the woman he was having a relationship with was not "our" Olivia. It raises the question, when you love someone, what exactly are you in love with? Their physical characteristics or their personality/their soul. I was under the impression that if you loved someone you could recognize that person, even in the dark. And yes, Olivia looked exactly the same (being technically the same person), but Peter should have known. Especially considering he had been to the other dimension and is fully aware of every one's alternate existence. Jesus Christ Peter! You are a douche and I'm so glad that Olivia told you to fuck off! God! I do hope that they can eventually work things out. Or do I? Not sure.
2. The X-Files
This, in my opinion, is one of the most romantic stories ever told! The relationship of Mulder and Scully is what made this show great. Sure, the final seasons were terrible, but they were still better than most of the crap that is on TV today. One thing that kind of pissed me off in the final seasons was Scully giving William up for adoption. That was a completely fucked up thing for Chris Carter to write. After years of her mourning the fact that she could not have children and finally having a child (with Mulder!) she would never have given up so easily. Sure, his life was in danger, blah blah blah, but come on!!!! Why didn't he just go into hiding with Mulder? Fuck, in the movie that came out in 2008, their life seemed safe enough. If she hadn't been so hasty with just getting rid of him, everything would have turned out fine. God damn you Chris Carter!! There had better be another movie before the suggested alien invasion scheduled for Dec 21, 2012. I would love to see Scully and Mulder finish the story. A friend recently suggested that there was talk about remaking the X-Files with different actors. I immediately proclaimed that if this was ever to happen I would quit my job, move out of my house and live in a box in an alley, as I would no longer want to be part of any society that would allow that to happen.
3. Lost
What a magical trip we took with this dynamic group of characters! SPOILER ALERT! I don't care what anyone said about the unanswered questions. The finale was amazing. I SOBBED. I dont' mean I got a bit teary eyed, I mean I was literally gasping for breathe and worried I would wake up my roommates. And can I just state the high number of incredibly sexy male characters/actors? Sayid = mysterious, exotic, beautiful. Desmond = Scottish brilliance of unbuttoned shirts and flowing hair! I could go on and on about the male characters, but I don't want to creep anyone out. Kate was also a great character. I love to see independent, strong female characters. Don't even get me started on the plethora of pathetic misogynistic characters played by Katherine Heigl and the like! I watched Lost entirely on DVD. I was late for the party, but I'm grateful for it! I was able to cram it into a few weeks of being completely immersed in this world. I could not imagine waiting weeks to months between episodes. I have now watched the entire thing twice and have very firm opinions about what was going on. I have had arguments with people about what was the afterlife and was actual life. I 100% believe that the island was real and that the sideways world was the afterlife. I have had arguments with people who believe that the island was the afterlife and that they all died in the plane crash. Whatever, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree because I am firm in my beliefs! (If I was only so firm in my own personal religious beliefs!)
Well, those are my top three TV shows at this moment. Other shows I love and may talk about in the future are:
Weeds
Californication
True Blood
Arrested Development
House
Battlestar Galactica
That is it for my first ever blog post! This may become a regular thing, or I may just get bored and never post anything again. It is always hard to tell with me, I'm notorious for my fear of any kind of commitment.
