Diary of a Fangirl: Larry Hagman

Growing up, one of my favorite television programs to watch was Nick at Nite, and in the line up was I Dream of Jeannie.  I had such a crush on Major Nelson.  Before that, I watched eps of Dallas with my mom.  I may not have gotten everything in the context of the show (obviously), being […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Twilight

So, I watched “Twilight” for the first time Friday night. I didn’t hate it as much as I thought I would, but I still didn’t enjoy it.  I watched it critically, and I [think] I deciphered what makes it so popular, and what makes it so bothersome. Let’s start with the bothersome. I dig vampires […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Hostess Twinkies and Zingers

So, it’s pretty official–the Hostess company is going out of business. I went to several stores and gas stations today (five, to be exact.  Five was my limit), and at the last one, I found no Twinkies, but a package of Hostess Zingers–like a Twinkie, but with a yellow, vanilla frosting on top.  After a […]

Diary of a Fangirl: The Walking Dead

Just started season two of The Walking Dead, and I have to say that while I do like it, it also makes me laugh inappropriately, and some of the characters really do irk me. My favorites thus far are Daryl (shocking, I know) and Shane (though I vaguely know of his fate.  Wah).  Anyway, the […]

Diary of a Fangirl: We Will Always Love Whitney Houston

I actually heard about this tribute on CBS on a fluke–I saw a commercial for it on Elementary, the only show I watch on the station.  Good thing I did, otherwise I would have missed this. Just dotted down some thoughts as I watched. Halle Berry is up first.  She’s fairly emotional right now.  Didn’t […]

Diary of a Fangirl: People’s Choice Awards

So, I’m filling out the form for The People’s Choice Awards, and here are my answers: Favorite Movie: The Dark Knight Rises, hands down.  It was brilliant, beautiful, and 98% perfect [we should have heard the Joker’s laughter coming from a darkened cell as a tribute to Ledger’s major contribution to the series].  It may […]
