guilty pleasures

My latest guilty pleasure? "Laguna Beach - the real O.C." on MTV.
It's filling the void left behind when season 2 of The O.C. ended last month. Question I have is, why is it the real O.C. when it isn't much different from the drama serial version? Granted, the parents aren't so cool looking, but other than that, the houses are still as huge, the kids are still as bratty, and everybody looks far too cool and too old to be in high school! What's up with that?

Anyhow, yes, my evenings now revolve around the tv line-up that has picked up recently. But nothing quite relaxes me like the mind-numbing "what on earth??" tv that is Laguna Beach.. where high school kids drive huge SUVs and get acrylics every episode. Yes, my guilty pleasure. Ranked right up there with TRL. It's a good thing that Real World/Road Rules Challenge is over, otherwise we'd really be in trouble.

I can just see the father-in-law going into denial as he reads this thinking "she's really part of this family??" Heh heh. =)
