Gossip Girl

Blogging is kind of a big deal these days. For instance, one of my new favorite shows, Gossip Girl, is premised on an anonymous blogger chronicling and interacting with the a group of kids on the Upper East Side. This is interesting in light of the fact that the show is based on a series of books by Cecily Von Ziegesar that came out beginning back in 2002.

The show is great for a number of reasons. Besides being filled with really good looking people, it has amazing clothes. [I am a fan of most everything Blair wears]. The anonymous blogger aspect of the show is also interesting. It kind of reminds me of when I really wanted to know what Mr. Big's first name was on Sex and the City. Sometimes during the show I actually catch myself thinking, "Well since so-and-so was at the party when the blog post was published, she can't be Gossip Girl ." I thought I had it all figured out until I signed up to start this blog yesterday and I realized that my assumptions were based on bad facts. Evidently, you don't need to be at your computer to post to your blog. You can do this from your cell phone... who knew? Not me. Now that I know, I have to rethink my whole "identity of Gossip Girl" theory. Sadly, there won't be anymore episodes of Gossip Girl in the near future because of the writer's strike. In the mean-time I will blog and perhaps in a few weeks I will even be brave enough to try posting from my cell phone.... but don't hold your breath.
