Veronica Mars - She's a Marshmellow

I have a new obsession. Her name...is Veronica Mars. What a fantastic show! She is very liekable. Yet, how does she find time to play detective for her father and friends and still manage to have the highest grade point average of her graduating class? Tell me that? Huh? Yeah, that is why it is TV land and not real life. But, I saw the first few episodes last Saturday and now I am finished up to the end of season 2. Yeah, I know. What didn't I do to make it that far into Veronica Mars? I did do some studying, if that is what you are thinking. I read a little. Tried listening to some audio lectures and couldn't bare it about half way. I think the lecturer is starting to get nauseating. I did pay attention to Brandon too....although I think that is where I skimped the most. Bad mommmy!

(WARNING: Spoilers Ahead. Stop reading if you have not watched the show and are planning to. Which you should. It is a very interesting and well written show. Continue on, if have watched the show or nothing surprises you anymore. )

Anyways, my favourite character I would love to have a cup of coffee with: Keith Mars. I like him. I like him alot. Best TV dad. I wish Keith's and Veronica's relationship was more open than they thought it was. But the secret comes out evenually, which is okay. Just learn people. Full disclosure is best. Like our girls says, "The good one is the one who stays. " In this case, she would be right.

And Logan. M, you are right. I both love and loathe him. In a bad girl way. He's a wild one, but oh so with the heart of gold, when it counts. Did I see the attraction brewing? Did I see the kiss coming? Yeah, I think I did. I was starting to like Logan more and I think Veronica was too.

And what about our special guest stars? Hmmm? Mr. Kevin Smith as the conviences store clerk. Yeah, no connection there. *cough cough* Clerks. He kinda stole the scene there. No kidding! Lee tells me, he likes to improvise his roles. He likes to rant. It sure seems like he did. And what about our very own Joss Whedon? Very yuppie. And again, he tried to steal the scene. Kinda...didn't. It only worked cause the geeky audience knew who these guys were. But still, it is obvious. They are fanboys.

The big story arch mysterys are good and very well thought out. And, better than those on 24. Last year, it seemed like halfway through the season they came up with the president being the bad guy. I didn't seem like it was thought out completely. Veronica Mars connects all over the span of 2 seasons. Very clever. And talk about, NOT toning it down with the teen sex. Am I just such a yuppie cause I didn't have sex till I was 20? In fact, I don't think I dated until I was 19. Did I miss something?

Now, I must seriously put my nose to the grindstone and study. I was looking back over my old tax notes. Sadly, the only ones I could find belong to corporate tax. Holy Shit, there are a lot of fucking steps. There is a reason they split up personal and corporate tax. It's fucking hard. With both at stake at the same time....oh dear God! And I only have an advantage cause I have taken the material before. Well, I better start cracking.
