Estrogen

I'm again getting my daily doses of estrogen, watching the fifth season of "Desperate Housewives".

God, I love that show. It is, in my humble opinion, one of the few shows that hasn't lost it's touch over the years. Sure, some far-fetched stuff has happened, but still, it has always had that sense of reality to it. Kudos to the writers and the women of Wisteria Lane!

Oh, and did you know Gale Harold stars in the fifth season? I'm super excited!

Here's another summary of movies I've recently seen, which is very typical of me. First, I've seen the anticipated movie "The Women", starring Meg Ryan, Annette Benning, Jada Pinkett Smith (if that's how you spell her name), Debra Messing and Eva Mendes. What a disappointment! It's like "Sex and the City: The Movie" gone terribly wrong (as I'm sure its sequel will), and it's just plain boring and annoying.

And there's the new James Bond movie, "Quantum of Solace." I generally like James Bond movies, especially the breath-taking "Casino Royale." If you haven't seen it, rent it, you'll love it. I was so glad after watching "Casino", thinking, "finally, they got it right", just to be let down by "Quantum." Apart from the splendid special effects, the story is ridiculous and dull, and the Bond girls are completely forgettable.

Anyways, I'm so NOT looking forward to next week and all the tests that await me at college, but c'est la vie. At least I have some "Housewives" to help me make it through.
