And, damn, is that ever true about cult classic \u003cem>Party Down\u003c/em>, which aired on the Starz network (huh?) for a meager two seasons until it was unceremoniously cancelled. But let's focus on the positive. This past weekend, thanks to the wonderful people at \u003ca href=\"http://sfsketchfest.com/x/\">SF Sketchfest\u003c/a>, the cast of \u003cem>Party Down\u003c/em> (Adam Scott, Lizzy Caplan, Ken Marino, Ryan Hansen, and Martin Starr) reunited for a panel and, when they walked out in their pink bowtied catering uniforms from the show, it was like nothing bad ever happened in the entire world. Here are 10 things I learned at the \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>reunion:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. No movies plans just yet.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's just get straight to what die hard fans have been wondering for years. There are no plans for a feature length movie yet because there is no god. But before you resort to self harm, there is a glimmer of hope! Adam Scott thinks it would be great to release more episodes via Netflix à la \u003cem>Arrested Development\u003c/em>. Time to start that letter writing campaign! Contact your congresswoman!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Only 16,000 people watched the series finale.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is wrong with you people??? Adam Scott is grateful anyway: \"Thanks for watching three years too late.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Paul Rudd and Steve Carell almost wore pink bowties.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When HBO was initially considering the show, \u003cem>Party Down\u003c/em> was going to star Paul Rudd and possibly Steve Carell. The network eventually passed because they have terrible taste. Years later, the roles went to Adam Scott and Ken Marino. After that particular fun fact was revealed, Lizzy Caplan sighed: \"Imagine how much doper this panel could've been!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. I have a huge crush on Lizzy Caplan and so should you.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the funniest moments of the panel were when Lizzy Caplan would say something under her breath or when she would drink lots of beer or engage in super cute camaraderie with Martin Starr or make music by blowing into her beer bottle. She once was \u003ca href=\"http://25.media.tumblr.com/9f11a323470e546abafce32637becd8d/tumblr_mf9g6ssGEU1rl9c3yo1_500.gif\">Lindsay Lohan's goth bestie in \u003cem>Mean Girls\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and now I'm wondering why she isn't mine. Stock up on Lizzy Caplan hilarity in the \"fashion film\" below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"http://player.vimeo.com/video/58933055?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&badge=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Ken Marino was framed in StripperGate.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first eight episodes, Jane Lynch added her deranged flair to the show, until she hit the jackpot with \u003cem>Glee\u003c/em>. Before she could sail off to the land where songs you love go to die, the cast wanted to do something nice for her last day of filming. Ken Marino thought it might be funny to get her a female stripper (\"because she's a lesssssbian,\" explained Lizzy Caplan). Marino quickly rescinded the offer, but it was too late. Despite refusing to pitch in and other attempts to stop it, a stripper was procured After an estimated 2.5 seconds, the gag was no longer funny and Ryan Hansen had to step in and literally waltz Jane out of there. The cast said it was all Marino's doing and, years later, Jane Lynch wrote a chapter in her memoir about it and blamed him for the whole thing. He is very saddened by this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. It's really rude to inquire about finger injuries.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cast members came out on stage rocking shiny finger splints. Maybe they were getting back into character by cutting vegetables for party platters backstage and things got out of hand? Paul Scheer, the MC of the night, repeatedly tried to get some answers, which caused the cast to scream in his face (\"WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH \u003cem>PARTY DOWN\u003c/em>?? WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE SHOW!!\"). During the audience Q+A, some man with a death wish brought the touchy subject back up. Moments later, Ken Marino and Adam Scott were yelling in his face in the balcony. Only problem was they targeted the wrong dude.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7. Jennifer Coolidge has a bad memory.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Jennifer \"\u003ca href=\"http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvn9alPfCG1qfc9x7o1_500.gif\">Bend and Snap\"\u003c/a> Coolidge was only featured in two episodes, Lizzy Caplan thought they really connected during lunch breaks. A few weeks after filming, a friend of Caplan met Coolidge and mentioned Lizzy's name, to which J.Coo replied: \"Who's that?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8. Adam Scott was almost the next Pacino.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before he found his place as the funny man next door on \u003cem>Party Down\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Parks & Recreation\u003c/em>, Adam Scott believed he would be a great serious actor. So much so that he almost adopted a tweaked version of his mother's maiden name to emulate the earnest Italiano spirit of De Niro and Pacino. \"Quordero. That's with a Q.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9. If you break your arm, people will think you're an insufferable diva.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Megan Mullaly, best known for her drunk antics on \u003cem>Will and Grace\u003c/em> and being the scariest librarian ever to live on \u003cem>Parks & Recreation\u003c/em>, joined the cast as a regular for season 2. She was super late for her first day on the job and Ryan Hansen complained about her diva antics to Lizzy Caplan. Turns out she was in a car accident and had broken her arm. Oops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>10. The series finale that never was.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An idea some of the cast kicked around for a series finale goes like this: Ken Marino's character announces he has terminal cancer. Cut to the jolly \u003cem>Party Down\u003c/em> opening credits music. Next scene, the gang is coming back from his funeral and getting ready to work the event. Let's all pretend that's how things ended. Quick, someone go change the Wikipedia page!\u003c/p>\n\n",

Paul Rudd and Steve Carell almost wore pink bowties.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When HBO was initially considering the show, \u003cem>Party Down\u003c/em> was going to star Paul Rudd and possibly Steve Carell. The network eventually passed because they have terrible taste. Years later, the roles went to Adam Scott and Ken Marino. After that particular fun fact was revealed, Lizzy Caplan sighed: \"Imagine how much doper this panel could've been!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. I have a huge crush on Lizzy Caplan and so should you.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the funniest moments of the panel were when Lizzy Caplan would say something under her breath or when she would drink lots of beer or engage in super cute camaraderie with Martin Starr or make music by blowing into her beer bottle. She once was \u003ca href=\"http://25.media.tumblr.com/9f11a323470e546abafce32637becd8d/tumblr_mf9g6ssGEU1rl9c3yo1_500.gif\">Lindsay Lohan's goth bestie in \u003cem>Mean Girls\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and now I'm wondering why she isn't mine. Stock up on Lizzy Caplan hilarity in the \"fashion film\" below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"http://player.vimeo.com/video/58933055?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&badge=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Ken Marino was framed in StripperGate.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first eight episodes, Jane Lynch added her deranged flair to the show, until she hit the jackpot with \u003cem>Glee\u003c/em>. Before she could sail off to the land where songs you love go to die, the cast wanted to do something nice for her last day of filming. Ken Marino thought it might be funny to get her a female stripper (\"because she's a lesssssbian,\" explained Lizzy Caplan). Marino quickly rescinded the offer, but it was too late. Despite refusing to pitch in and other attempts to stop it, a stripper was procured After an estimated 2.5 seconds, the gag was no longer funny and Ryan Hansen had to step in and literally waltz Jane out of there. The cast said it was all Marino's doing and, years later, Jane Lynch wrote a chapter in her memoir about it and blamed him for the whole thing. He is very saddened by this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. It's really rude to inquire about finger injuries.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cast members came out on stage rocking shiny finger splints. Maybe they were getting back into character by cutting vegetables for party platters backstage and things got out of hand? Paul Scheer, the MC of the night, repeatedly tried to get some answers, which caused the cast to scream in his face (\"WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH \u003cem>PARTY DOWN\u003c/em>?? WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE SHOW!!\"). During the audience Q+A, some man with a death wish brought the touchy subject back up. Moments later, Ken Marino and Adam Scott were yelling in his face in the balcony. Only problem was they targeted the wrong dude.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7. Jennifer Coolidge has a bad memory.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Jennifer \"\u003ca href=\"http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvn9alPfCG1qfc9x7o1_500.gif\">Bend and Snap\"\u003c/a> Coolidge was only featured in two episodes, Lizzy Caplan thought they really connected during lunch breaks. A few weeks after filming, a friend of Caplan met Coolidge and mentioned Lizzy's name, to which J.Coo replied: \"Who's that?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8. Adam Scott was almost the next Pacino.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before he found his place as the funny man next door on \u003cem>Party Down\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Parks & Recreation\u003c/em>, Adam Scott believed he would be a great serious actor. So much so that he almost adopted a tweaked version of his mother's maiden name to emulate the earnest Italiano spirit of De Niro and Pacino. \"Quordero. That's with a Q.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9. If you break your arm, people will think you're an insufferable diva.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Megan Mullaly, best known for her drunk antics on \u003cem>Will and Grace\u003c/em> and being the scariest librarian ever to live on \u003cem>Parks & Recreation\u003c/em>, joined the cast as a regular for season 2. She was super late for her first day on the job and Ryan Hansen complained about her diva antics to Lizzy Caplan. Turns out she was in a car accident and had broken her arm. Oops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>10. The series finale that never was.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An idea some of the cast kicked around for a series finale goes like this: Ken Marino's character announces he has terminal cancer. Cut to the jolly \u003cem>Party Down\u003c/em> opening credits music. Next scene, the gang is coming back from his funeral and getting ready to work the event. Let's all pretend that's how things ended. Quick, someone go change the Wikipedia page!\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Don't worry, it won't take very long. From an early age, my mother decided to shape her only son into a “man” through gifts of over-sized Redskins winter apparel. I could live with that because it was infinitely better than \u003ca href=\"http://instagram.com/p/QAkRfkKL66/\">the bow ties forced upon me in earlier years\u003c/a>. Something that was harder to accept was being enlisted in an actual sport. This isn't recorded in any record books, but it's true: I was the most apathetic defense soccer player in the history of the game. As halfheartedly as Daria plays volleyball, I did my best to be as unhelpful as possible. But that didn't stop a hurtling ball from finding the side of my head. Stars! Just like in the cartoons! If I was a fictional being in a Hollywood movie, this would have been the part of the story where I became impassioned and fueled by the pain and made some memorable winning play or something. What actually happened is I cried a lot and the coach took me to the sidelines and then did that thing jocks do in movies where they rally an unwilling person into doing something they don't actually want to do. \"YOU GOT THIS! YOU'RE FINE! YOU READY TO GO BACK IN THERE???\" I'm not exactly sure what I said, considering the head injury, but it was something in the neighborhood of: Hell no. That was the last day of my illustrious sporting career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbg2yrSz2C1reihnqo1_400.gif\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, sports don't come up that often. Well, until recently, that is, with the SF Giants being the best team in the whole wide world and winning two World Series in three years. On both of those occasions, I took the “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” approach and sacrificed myself to \u003ca href=\"http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/90/087cb41702aff307d024cf8f163986a6/l.jpg\">the sporty gods\u003c/a>. And you know what, it wasn’t terrible. And now our very own 49ers are heading to the Super Bowl to face off with my hometown team the Baltimore Ravens (I win either way!). So what’s a non-sports fan to do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are a few tips on how to successfully pretend you care about sports for one day (and maybe even have some fun while you’re at it):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">1. \u003cstrong>Do your homework.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-110076\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/01/tenor-2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"280\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one likes a dunce. So do some light studying on the rules of the game and who the major players are. You’ll actually find out interesting conversation topics like the fact that the coaches of the rival teams this year are brothers (Shakespearean drama!) or the irony of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/30/audio-san-francisco-49ers-cornerback-chris-culliver-makes-anti-gay-comments/\">a 49er player saying rude things about gay people\u003c/a> while\u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/24/brendon-ayanbadejo-baltimore-ravens-linebacker-super-bowl-gay-marriage-bullying-_n_2542541.html\"> a Ravens player plans to use the Super Bowl to promote gay marriage and anti-bullying\u003c/a>. Another good way to up your interest level if you’re a girl or gay boy is to go through both teams’ rosters and pick your next boyfriend.

So don’t be a chatterbox during pivotal plays. Just because you don’t care doesn’t mean that others don’t. This is called manners.

So get in the mood by putting together an ensemble that is appropriate for the occasion. You don’t have to go so far as to wear a jersey or hat, but at least get the colors right. This way, no one spills a beer on you when you unintentionally show up in the rival team’s color palette.

Plan B is to convince yourself that the game of helmeted giants hurling themselves at each other is actually just a pre and after party for the real event: a BEYONCE concert!

Don't worry, it won't take very long. From an early age, my mother decided to shape her only son into a “man” through gifts of over-sized Redskins winter apparel. I could live with that because it was infinitely better than \u003ca href=\"http://instagram.com/p/QAkRfkKL66/\">the bow ties forced upon me in earlier years\u003c/a>. Something that was harder to accept was being enlisted in an actual sport. This isn't recorded in any record books, but it's true: I was the most apathetic defense soccer player in the history of the game. As halfheartedly as Daria plays volleyball, I did my best to be as unhelpful as possible. But that didn't stop a hurtling ball from finding the side of my head. Stars! Just like in the cartoons! If I was a fictional being in a Hollywood movie, this would have been the part of the story where I became impassioned and fueled by the pain and made some memorable winning play or something. What actually happened is I cried a lot and the coach took me to the sidelines and then did that thing jocks do in movies where they rally an unwilling person into doing something they don't actually want to do. \"YOU GOT THIS! YOU'RE FINE! YOU READY TO GO BACK IN THERE???\" I'm not exactly sure what I said, considering the head injury, but it was something in the neighborhood of: Hell no. That was the last day of my illustrious sporting career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbg2yrSz2C1reihnqo1_400.gif\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, sports don't come up that often. Well, until recently, that is, with the SF Giants being the best team in the whole wide world and winning two World Series in three years. On both of those occasions, I took the “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” approach and sacrificed myself to \u003ca href=\"http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/90/087cb41702aff307d024cf8f163986a6/l.jpg\">the sporty gods\u003c/a>. And you know what, it wasn’t terrible. And now our very own 49ers are heading to the Super Bowl to face off with my hometown team the Baltimore Ravens (I win either way!). So what’s a non-sports fan to do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are a few tips on how to successfully pretend you care about sports for one day (and maybe even have some fun while you’re at it):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The world no longer moves to the beat of just one drum and the era of a lengthy ditty played over shots of a photogenic cast is all but over. It's no wonder, fewer and fewer people watch TV live and instead prefer to watch on a DVR or a computer where opening credits are easy enough to fast forward through. That being said, there are a few current TV themes that are definitely worth your notice. While they may not all have been written expressly for their shows, they are all performed by artists that have an impressive and enjoyable catalogue worth exploring. So if someone catches you with any of these nine songs on your playlists, don't be embarrassed. They're impossibly catchy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Shameless\u003c/em> \"The Luck You Got\" by The High Strung\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nEverything about this delightfully depraved Showtime series is not safe for work. Oh yes, including the opening credits. But the theme song by the Detroit-based indie group The High Strung is good old fashioned fun.

That means you've also avoided walking into a Starbucks since early 2008. Deschanel is, of course, the lady half of the duo She & Him and her music has been heard on film soundtracks and in Cotton commercials alike. Some might find her whimsiquirkalicious brand of music too saccharine, but you can't deny that, unlike most actresses, Deschanel has the pipes to give her passion project some credibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGTOp0rJ1-Q\u003c/p>\n\n",

There was a lot of tradition around these events, even though all four years I attended games my team, the Corvallis High School Spartans, only won one time. There was the giggling with friends, the holding hands with boys under blankets, the (torturously humiliating) marching band or pep band (depending on the year and the band director's pill addiction situation) that I was nominally part of. There was a lot of gossiping, bullying, flirting, emotionally preparing for the dance that would later happen in the gym and talking about the soccer teams (teams that won state championships, thankyouverymuch). None of the school's best athletes went near the football team and our cheerleaders were the main targets of the aforementioned bullying, so it was only a few of the saddest parents and poor, beaten down Coach Beck that paid attention to the actual games. In this way, I managed to leave high school without ever learning the rules of this brutal, boring and kind of arbitrarily (as far as I can tell and yeah, I'm fine, don't explain it to me) scored game. Add to this the fact that I grew up without a TV and here I am, a 30-year-old who has been avoiding the Super Bowl her whole life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that I live in the Mission in an apartment building full of people that seem, if this is even possible, to love the 49ers MORE than they love the Giants, it appears that this year I am facing an even bigger challenge to my Super-Bowl-avoidance-scheme than in years past when I lived in places like Oregon or I was doing things like creative writing grad school. But, like a line backer or a quarterback or, I don't know, a tight end? I never give up. Here are five ways to avoid this year's Super Bowl madness in San Francisco or wherever you are actually, if you live in America:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1.

Get on a sailboat and solo it to the middle of the Pacific. \u003c/strong>During Super Bowl time, you can't trust anyone to not try to make you care about kickers and yard lines and downs.

They will be talking about it at the climbing gym, using it as some weird metaphor in yoga classes and listening to it on hand-held radios at ski mountains. The only way you can still be engaging with other people on this day is telepathically, through silent meditation. For safety, pick one that lasts a few days on either side and happens in the middle of the woods. This is the Super Bowl.

Set your alarm for 6am and get up and start \"tailgating\" in your bedroom. With any luck, you will forget where you are by 8 and when the game actually rolls around, you will be passed out, peacefully, in your bed. (Editor's note: this option causes liver damage, destruction of relationships and social media-based humiliation and should never actually be used, even to avoid the Super Bowl.

In the weeks since the series finale I’ve been obsessively seeking meaning, \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/culture/2012/12/farewell-gossip-girl.html\">reading summaries in \u003cem>The New Yorker\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, and aimlessly searching \u003ca href=\"http://imchuckbass.tumblr.com/\">Chuck Bass Tumblrs\u003c/a>. I’m feeling wistful pangs of withdrawal, and trying to decide what my love for all this glittery mess says about who I am, and the nature of my guilty pleasures. Much like the characters on \u003cem>Gossip Girl,\u003c/em> pleasure doesn’t make me feel the guilty part. Instead I luxuriate in it, finding intellectual and aesthetic justifications, drowning happily in the ridiculousness of the melodrama. If it isn’t guilt, though, what do these pleasures make me feel, and should they make me feel guilty? \u003cem>Gossip Girl\u003c/em> has inspired me to look for the answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A heady six seasons of masquerade balls and hipster cotillions, the show follows a group of insanely rich, good-looking upper-East side high school students, who are (briefly) college students before embarking on grown-up pastimes like socialite, \u003ca href=\"http://www.believermag.com/issues/201206/?read=article_crosley\" target=\"_blank\">famous novelist\u003c/a>, fashion designer, and hotel mogul.

Is this dizziness just what pleasure feels like when unadulterated by guilt? Pleasure invokes the senses, and the satisfaction of sensual desires being met or, more interestingly, not met, which fascinates me. After all, when desires aren't met, there’s the promise or suggestion they will be and so we have to wait. That kind of waiting is my favorite thing to do and yet this type of consumption feels a tad irresponsible too. Every once in awhile I’d pause and notice something sneaky at work on \u003cem>Gossip Girl\u003c/em>, a shiny, inculpable cruelty, or narrative laziness. In those moments I must admit I worried, but forged anxiously ahead. After all, maybe it was trying to teach me guilt is part of the fun, an emphasis, not a contradiction, to the pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is a show with clever touches such as a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prada_Marfa\" target=\"_blank\">Prada Marfa\u003c/a> sign hanging in the swanky penthouse, and a dad who used to be in a 90’s grunge band, before marrying Lisa Loeb.

Guilty pleasures are the diversionary details, no more or less true about us than anything else. They’re definitely true though, and that’s worth acknowledging as we fall under their spells. What we choose as our indulgence and why is our ink blot, fans and anthropologists both. After all, I like fashion, Sonic Youth, cute bad boys, speakeasies, gossip, and Marfa, and feel the opposite of guilt about those interests. I was a teenager in the 90’s and have a soft spot for grunge bands too. Any show that contains these elements is going to get my attention, though inevitably I wonder if it’s merely the references that amuse me, and there I rest perpetually between immersed and uneasy. One of my most smarty-pants friends (with a PhD no less!) has seen every episode twice, an eccentric predilection I instinctively admire, perhaps because it seems so unexpected for him.

That lack of apology makes me relieved, entertained, full of the best kind of irreverence and amnesia. Glamour trumps difficulty. Real life rules do not apply, nor do real life concerns need revelation or solution. Instead, bagging our sulky, brooding bad boy is everything we hoped it would be. We cultivate fraudulent identities, survive airplane crashes, and publish short stories in \u003cem>The New Yorker\u003c/em> when we are 19. It’s not about catharsis or recognition. Ultimately it makes me wonder if the content, and analysis therein, is beside the point. The point is the ritual of the pleasure: the wine I pour, the blanket I pull over myself, the quiet of my apartment when I’m alone (you have to be alone to watch \u003cem>Gossip Girl\u003c/em>). It all feels so good it’s outrageous. There, outside of itself, is the guilty pleasure’s true power, in the spaces it creates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of that space, I watched \u003cem>Gossip Girl\u003c/em> over many delicious years.

As long as they didn’t though, something perfect was happening, something that encapsulates the thrill of the guilty pleasure. The frustration, the suspense, the sighing, the eye-rolls; they dragged themselves out in lavish, hilarious, unsustainable splendor. In the upcoming weeks I’ll be without it all, which is probably a good thing. Like a steamy love affair I threw myself into headlong, but never quite took seriously, \u003cem>Gossip Girl\u003c/em> and I were so good while we lasted.\u003c/p>\n\n",
