Woooo! Or Something to That Effect.

Tomorrow is when Spring Break begins for me and many other young adults around the country so if you live anywhere near a beach, now would be the time to make sure you’ve got good locks on your doors and lay in a week long supply of liquor and food so you don’t have to brave the human storm surge coming your way. Oh sure, MTV and Girls Gone Wild make it look like wall to wall fruity drinks and nubile young “Woo!” girls displaying their assets with minimal levels of persuasion, but they shut the cameras off before the fruity drinks make their bile filled reappearance and those “Woo!” girls start crying because they don’t really feel pretty on the inside. Not really my scene, overall. Well, I say that now, but my brother has indicated that I’ll be spending at least part of my break matching beer pong skills with college students in the Maryland area, so I guess I should keep my options open. Happy travels to any of you who may be taking trips over this next week, here’s your Thursday night TV:

8:00pm: “American Idol: Results Show” on Fox. New episode on a special night.

“Carnie Wilson: Unstapled” on GSN. First season finale. Aw, I don’t get to make anymore lame “Unstapled!” jokes. I kind of hope this gets renewed just for that reason.

“Community” on NBC

“Survivor” on CBS

8:30pm: “Parks and Recreation” on NBC

9:00pm: “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” on CBS

“Grey’s Anatomy” on ABC. I’m beginning to wonder if NO ONE in the “Grey’s” universe have heard the multiple versions of “don’t date where you work” because almost every couple on the show now is a couple where both parties work in the hospital. I get that it’s easier in terms of story and having the actors around, but seriously, have none of these people figured out that it’s kind of a bad idea to date co-workers? Or seen that it hasn’t really worked out well for ANYONE on the show? Whatever, they have like eleventy billion characters right now so I guess adding extra non-hospital love interests would just make it worse.

“Kitchen Nightmares” on Fox. New episode on a special night.

“The Office” on NBC

“Taking Control of Diabetes with Dr.Neal Barnard” on PBS. PBS really has their finger on the pulse of America, don’t they?

“The Real Orange Housewives: Reunion Special Part 2” on Bravo

9:30pm: “30 Rock” on NBC. Making its hopefully triumphant return.

10:00pm: “Ace of Cakes” on Food Network

“Archer” on FX

“Celebrity Rehab Presents: Sober House” on VH1. Second season premiere.

“Important Things with Demetri Martin” on Comedy Central

“LA Ink” on TLC

“The Marriage Ref” on NBC. Jerry Seinfeld was talking about this on “The Daily Show” last night and showed a clip featuring Ricky Gervais, Madonna, and Larry David and I still wasn’t interested. Anyone else got impressions to share?

“The Mentalist” on CBS

“Project Runway” on Lifetime

“Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew” on MTV

“The Real Housewives of New York City” on Bravo. Time slot premiere.

“Private Practice” on ABC.

10:30pm: “The Sarah Silverman Program” on Comedy Central. I tend to like Sarah Silverman in small doses, I loved her bit in The Aristocrats and I think everyone loves “I’m Fucking Matt Damon” but I haven’t been brave enough to give her a whole half hour of my time yet. Should I?

Intern Rusty is a Masters student at the University of Miami. You can learn more about her at Rusty’s Ventures. You can also follow her at twitter.com/rustyheadedgirl, but she’s bad at twitter so you probably don’t want to.

You Know You're In College When (#72):

You wake up and PAD is already online. And you're going back out in 2 hours.

Oh, no new Bones or Fringe? That's too bad. On the other hand, gives me the perfect excuse to go to Target. Mama's face needs moisturizin'. Also, Mama's ears need a new CD for the car.

SPRIIIIING BREEEEEAAAAKKK!!!!! WHOOOOOO!!!!

Um, Supernatural?

My Spring Break is not for another week all y'all can suck it. While you "Woo!" at your parties of sin and oogle the ladies at wet t shirt contests, I will be in the basement level of my school's library until 7:30 am every night, taking naps in the corner and eating boxes and boxes of Golden Grahams. Can life get any better? I submit that it cannot.

Just in case some of you might be unaware: If you are not watching Archer you are a clueless blob of uninterestingness and nobody really likes you, they are only pretending out of politeness, and you fail at life. This has been a public service announcement.

Wooooooooo!

I never did Spring Break when I was in college. Then again, I was in upstate NY where it snowed every day until May, and I was broke. So I got to stay on a blissfully quiet campus and sleep all day. Yep, I was a social MACHINE, people.

So, anyone else think this might be the best season of Project Runway in years? Most of the people are genuinely talented and Anthony makes it all worth watching.

Don't you love it when spring break hits and you realize 15 minutes on the road away from school you should have dropped your number on that chick's desk across from you at Chem Lab?

WHERE'S MY NICHOLAS SPARKS NOVEL DAMN YOU!

Oh God ... supernatural isn't back till March 24th. I'm going to drown myself in alcohol and pre-spring break parties.

Posted by: kooling123 at March 11, 2010 9:16 PM

I have a disabling lack of spring break until the end of march :o(

Jerce, I've been on High-Street.org. I think I love you. I'm sure I'm afraid of you.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at March 11, 2010 9:55 PM

It ain't for sissies, Tracer B. But I'm sure you'll be fine. As long as you like cats.

Where were you from in update New York figgs?

Spent most of high school in Watertown, NY "The Armpit Of The North." Fled when I graduated and haven't looked back.

Tardy to the party but figgy this season of Project Runway (and every season since Christian Siriano's) has been a hot mess. No one stands out, and the challenges are BLAH - last week's was semi-entertaining because the challenge was interesting, but for the most part, Project Runway has lost the magic.

Do they ever air Kitchen Nightmares on a consistent night? I normally love me some Gordon Ramsay, even when he's being a superdouche for his American shows, but I haven't seen a single episode of this season because it's always on a "special night" it seems. Yeesh.

What do you expect? It's a soap opera, and one of the key soap tropes is:

Nobody ever learns anything.

I went to college in Oneonta, NY. Middle of the fucking mountains, blizzards every other week. Pretty as anything, but got exhausting after a while.

Dunno, michaelceratops, I like this season. I agree that everything after Siriano was pretty damn sad, particularly the season with that Kenley woman, but this one's an improvement. But it will never be as good as Santino, Nick and Andrae. Not ever.

I never did the spring break thing in college, either. Simple reason: I was always completely and utterly broke. I know most college students are broke, but I always wondered how they managed to get a car that could make it that far, gas to make the car go that far (and BACK to campus, presumably), food to eat just every now and then, a place to stay while there and then money for the partying things that go on.

(I had a car, but it had a hole in the radiator so big I always carried around three old milk jugs filled with water. Three refills would make the car go about 25 miles round trip.)

I had an acquaintance who told me, laughing, that a good looking girl doesn't NEED money to party on Spring Break. Just grab your bikini (um, I didn't have one--see: lack of money), catch a ride with WHOEVER, stay with WHOEVER, and FREE DRINKS ALL WEEK WHOOOOOO!

God. I must have been 80 when I was 20 because that sounded like my idea of gang rape hell.
I remember actually shuddering at her description. Sooooo whore myself out for a trip? She was in training to be a trophy wife, used up and worn out by 35.

Anyway, I missed all my shows last night. Damn school board meeting. Damn driver's ed. Was The Office new?

I used to love coming to this site, but your advertisements have gotten out of hand. I am not coming back.
