Pretty Little Liars Might be the Best Show on Television

Two can keep a secret, if one of them is dead.

That’s a bold statement, I know, but the show just came back for the winter season and I totally forgot how much I loved it while it was on hiatus. Don’t get me wrong, the writing is terrible and there are more blank stares between castmates than on an episode of The Hills, but this show will suck you in.

First, the entire plotline began when Allie, one of a group of five girlfriends, was killed (maybe, that’s actually still up in the air). The four remaining friends then began receiving text messages from a cryptic anonymous being that refers to themself as simply “A.” And “A” knows all of the girls’ secrets. You’re intrigued already, I can tell.

Is This Bruce Jenner?

So the New York office decided I didn’t have enough books in my cubicle and sent over a buttload of old titles for me to sort through (thanks, btw). Some of them are really cool, like a Roget’s Thesaurus from 1922. Others, however, are less cool.

For some reason my company has been hoarding pamphlets, written in Spanish, showcasing classic books. Each pamphlet has a caricature of an author on the cover. The one pictured to the right, I’m assuming, is supposed to be Harper Lee, and the pamphlet is about To Kill a Mockingbird (I’m guessing this from the pictures inside, as I cannot read Spanish. I blame Mrs. Shapiro).

But tell me, does it or does it not resemble a certain loveable former Olympian who may or may not have had too much plastic surgery? Obviously I’ve taken this around to every single person in my office for their opinion, and they all concur that yes, I am a crazy person with way too much time on her hands.

Today Show Tries for Sentimental Segment, Gets Awesomely Great Dancing Instead

One of the main things I remember from my Christmases of yore is people writing in to K104.7 asking to be part of the radio station’s holiday giveaway. People would write letters explaining how hard their year has been, about how they couldn’t afford presents for their kids, etc. The DJ would read all the letters with Christmas carols playing in the background. And I would always, always cry.

I’m thinking that’s exactly the reaction the Today Show was going for yesterday when they interviewed the Roberts family, who had just lost their husband/dad in Afghanistan. Meredith, that tricky vixen, was going to surprise the family with a buttload of gifts on the front lawn. Instead, she was upstaged by Keegan Roberts, who was clearly just feelin’ the (imaginary) beat.

Merry Christmas to all!
