Gossip Girlfriend

Each week, my girlfriend and I plan to discuss Gossip Girl. No, really. It's going to be awesome, and posted on Tuesdays from now on.

If this doesn't prove to my girlfriend how awesome American capitalism is -- I think she's some sort of socialist -- then we'll just chalk her up as a lost cause.

I know what you're thinking: Dan, you kinda do dumb things, what if you do a dumb thing to your girlfriend and she breaks up with you?
