we only got 4 minutes to save the world

I have much to report on Gossip Girl this evening. 
First off: 
Tonight was the season one finale and it was pretty awesome! And mind-bending. Georgina was sent away, although I heard she's coming back for season two? We'll see. Little Jenny Humphrey gets an internship with Eleanor Waldorf - isn't that Blair's mom? And aren't Blair and Jenny like... archenemies? Or something....

Chuck is up to no good, as usual, although he has stolen the Queen B's heart and left her alone on a plane to Tuscany with a hunky associate that works with her father. Unknowingly, of course, on both of their behalves. Blair doesn't know that Chuck ditched the plane to have a tryst with a girl named Amelia. 

Also, it looks like Dan and Serena are done for now. Also, Vanessa and Nate are done, but does this mean that it will just switch over, like it should have been from the first place? It seems like kismet, right? Dan and Vanessa, the trendy indie kids who live in the Upper West Side and Brooklyn, respectively, get together after being BFF for 13 years? And Nate and Serena who lost their virginity to each other almost a year or two ago. What will happen in the next season of Gossip Girl? The finale left many questions lingering in my mind. 

It really takes some getting used to. Going from the book series to the TV show. It's like ... two different worlds. Kind of like parallel universes. Things go differently than in the other. At the end of the book series, they graduated, and at the end of the season, they just have a summer break. What, were they juniors this year? They were seniors the whole time in the book series. 

As for the other news: 
The newest It Girl novel, Tempted, will be coming out next month. I'm excited. Also, when I was on the Alloy Entertainment web page, I read that the It Girl novels are under development for film from Universal and a one hour series with the CW. Gossip Girl and the It Girl both on the CW.... is this actually going to happen? I mean, really. 

There are many book series that are undergoing development with other stations like ABC family and all that. It seems kind of sad that most of these won't get picked up for a second season. Maybe.  

I've been wanting to watch the other seasons of The O.C. and some Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the library doesn't carry any Buffy and nothing past season one of The O.C. which I own. The search on the web was futile. I should go up there and tell them they need to get new seasons of The O.C. and that they need some Buffy. Or maybe I'll just keep my mouth shut. 

So, today X and I started actually sanding the front door of her parents house. It's a lot easier with the sander, but it's still a pain in the ass. After holding the sander for a while, it kind of tickles your hands. Also, X's front door is RED, so afterwards we were covered in red dust. X's mom asked her if she got too much sun today. Haha. The shower afterwards was very nice as well. 

Today, T also got her braces, but she said they hurt her a lot and went to sleep early tonight. So I'm sitting at home, blogging. X is coming over soon and we might watch a movie. My parents rented 27 Dresses, Juno and Cloverfield. I've already seen Juno which I loved. And I saw Cloverfield the other night, but I'd totally watch it again because it's ridiculously crazy. Can't say I've seen 27 Dresses because I haven't. I do enjoy Katherine Heigl though, and I do enjoy some romantic comedies. I really liked 13 Going on 30, even though I don't really like Jennifer Garner. It was cute, plus I like Mark Ruffalo.
