Weeds: Version 4.0

So I've written before about Weeds, which is currently tied with Arrested Development for the honor of "Best Television Show Ever," as far as I am concerned. The fourth season just started airing, and I am once again sucked into Nancy Botwin's dramatic dealings. Anyways, this season finds the cast relocating from Agrestic (the best of the best-ic) to Ren Mar, a small town on the US/ Mexico border. Along with the location change, the show is dealing with new issues. So far, I've only seen three episodes but the Botwins are dealing with immigration laws and euthanasia- AND Nancy's started trafficking. It's going to be an exciting season!

Pop Culture: Wedding Shows!

So, I think this Target: Women series is hilariously funny. BUT this edition illustrates one of the reasons I (more often than not) feel disillusioned by marriage: weddings. Aren't they getting a little ridiculous? In Wood County, Ohio (of which my recent home, Bowling Green, is the hub) the average wedding costs twenty-seven thousand dollars. Not to get too personal, but that is more than I currently owe in student loans. Is this extravagance really necessary to demonstrate the quality of our love? With the economy and the country in the state they are in, I personally could not justify spending so much money on party, especially a party that is so often seeped in religious and misogynistic traditions- but that's a whole other post.

Here's another hilarious Target: Women video!
