So I've told some of you about my problem...the one where I'm addicted to
Beverly Hills 90210. And no, I'm not talking about the new one on the CW, I'm talking about the one that started in the early 90's about Brandon and Brenda Walsh who move from quiet Minnesota to worldly Beverly Hills and spend the remainder of their high school career at West Beverly High with kids whose families have a ton of money but also a ton of problems. You know the one I'm talking about? This whole problem of mine started about a month ago when, for some unknown reason, I was on CBS.com and discovered that full episodes of seasons 1-4 of the original
Beverly Hills 90210 are available to watch, for free, online. I decided that since I quite enjoyed this show when I was in 6th grade and I would watch it on occasion during its last couple of seasons (I know, probably not an appropriate show for a 12 year-old) and even when I would watch reruns about a year and a half ago on SOAP Net everyday after work, I would probably enjoy it now. Only now I would have the opportunity to watch from the very beginning and learn the histories of all the different characters. Hardly a day goes by where I don't watch at least one episode. Now, I will be the first to admit that this show is completely cheesy 97% of the time. Just about every episode (in season 1 at least) ends with Brandon and Brenda basically summing up the entire episode with a conversation usually held in Brenda's room. Brandon usually walks in, asks Brenda how she's doing (she's a little over-dramatic and always
seems to be having a bad day) and offers her words of comfort. Brenda in turn admits that she was wrong and always counteracts what she said with some sort of "but", placing the blame in someone else's lap. It's quite ridiculous and at times frustrating but I love it all the same. I'm currently about halfway through season two and already starting to think about what I'm going to do after I finish season four (the show ran for 10 seasons but only seasons 1-4 are on the website). I'm either going to have to hope CBS posts the remaining seasons before then, buy the remaining seasons and watch them, check them out from the library, or hope that I am over this sad, sad addiction I've fallen victim to in the last couple of weeks when it comes time to move on to season 5.

I know you love the old one and that Donna is your favorite character in the world Lisa have you even watched the new 90210? Do it. And I'm waiting for your blog about Selena, preferably written in Spanish.
Maybe you should write a blog about your obsession with my obsession with Selena because your obsession with my obsession is greater than my obsession seeing as mine is non-existent.
I did this exercise, and liked some of the results. Specifically where I put my favorite animal down: Prairie Dog. There are some really fun pictures.
Otherwise, there were just a bunch of slutty, degrading pictures of women in the results. Not impressed.
