I have important things to do now. Clearly that means that I should post here about Gossip Girl. Clearly. Seriously, I think that the TV programming gods must like me because they managed to stagger Heroes and Gossip Girl for me so I wouldn't have to complain about both at the same time. Granted, these TV gods obviously must not exist or Heroes would have been canceled by now. But I digress.

Anyway, tonight's episode was better than usual.

Rufus continues to irritate me in his spiral into terrible parenthood. Seriously, this show is about a bunch of spoiled Upper East Siders who receive little to no supervision by their self absorbed parents. How is it that Rufus outshines Lily as a bad parent? It frustrates me to no end because I loved him first season.

Second, they seem to think that we're going to buy this whole Serena "Daddy Issues" van der Woodsen is over trying to contact her father thing. Not happening. I'll be surprised if they can actually pull a feat like that off.

Third, what happened to Eric? Now, it's been a few months since the show ended for winter break, but didn't Jenny and Eric JUST make up after their feuding ways? Why is it that he disappears for long periods of time? I wonder if during the show's hiatus he just got fed up with his family and disowned them all. Really wouldn't be surprised.

Speaking of which, I love watching Jenny's impending high speed train wreck. I love it. That and the Dan-Nate bromance are what I watch for.

Because while this was once a show about students, there is very little evidence that any of these kids go to school anymore. The closest thing we have was the bizarre college party that Vanessa and Dan went to.

I should get back to work. I just wanted to get in some Gossip Girl ranting.
