Day 491: Getting Desperate

Addie and I have a new TV obsession. We've joined the throngs of people back home, jumped on the bandwagon, plunged into the crowd of new hard-core fans....

We can't get enough of 'Desperate Housewives!'

We had been hearing about this new show back home that apparently everyone and their dog was watching, and so finally on a whim Addie decided to download the entire season onto her computer. Since Survivor, The Apprentice, Lost, and The OC had all finished up we needed a new replacement anyways. Well we were hooked after the first episode, and have been watching it like mad ever since! I'm leaving Korea soon and so our goal is to go through the entire season in the next three weeks before I leave.

It's so good!!! From the hilariously obsessive and manipulative Brie (it's true - her hair really does never, ever move!), to the dishevelled and exhausted Lynette (gotta give her credit for coming up with new ways to try and control those adorably devilish children of hers), to the sultry and diva-like Gabrielle (we love that she's screwing the hunky teenage lawn boy John right under her husband's nose), to the bad-luck ridden and irresistibly charming and goofy Susan (she's my personal favourite, you go after that Mike Delfino, Suzie!) we just can't get enough. Throw in the slutty Edie, the nosy Mrs. Huber, eye candy John and Mike, and all the various husbands and children, and you've got a cast that you can't help but love.

This show is awesome. I'm addicted. And I wanna 'Get Desperate' everyday!
