showing some skins...

So this show is taking over my life and my DVR. If you haven't watched it, I suggest you do that right now. Thanks to Sam for introducing me to it (even though I was totally not into it when I heard about it! That is why I am usually wrong!) I'll grab some vids and show you what I'm talking about and thus, spread the addiction. 

So here's the scoop-- BBC America (originally on e4 in the UK) Sundays at 10pm. So far, they've aired the first 4 episodes of series 1-- Tony, Cassie, Jal, and Chris. I love Chris. (and series 2 is redic!) Tomorrow is Sid. I like this show because it's funny and smart and the characters are like real people. I can see my friends, from past and present, in the story lines and in the characters. Oh the music is super rad too. MGMT, Decemberists, The Gossip, Brighteyes and so many other great artists! 

My friend Sam, who lives in Bristol where the show is set was telling me that they filmed by his apt once which is pretty cool and in the future (that we haven't seen in the US yet, Cassie is in one of our fav nyc spots Alias in LES! 

Also, I like the slang there but in the spirit of Mean Girls, "Stop trying to make 'fetch' happen, it's not going to happen" I think we should try to incorporate some of it into our lives. However, it wont sound the same because my NY accent is not as charming as those cheeky Brits! 

I want to have a water gun fight a la above pict, I guess I'll have to wait til next summer and see if the cops cancel the giant watergun fight in union square again. 

Oh VMAs tomorrow too (thanks DVR) Britney? I am stoked to see if she pulls it off, I am still a fan. Oh Britney...
