New York Time says...

My sister has been house hunting for a home, out in the boonies.  Really, more like the ghetto, but I'll call it the boonies.  


I have been telling her and explaining profusely that it's a bad idea, stay NORTH of Seattle.  She likes the SOUTH.  Having been in the real estate business for two years, I realize I can be a little desensitized and may be a little more snobby when it comes to areas - but I have my reasons.


Anyway, I read a part of an article that says, 

"According to the New York Times, living in the suburbs costs a family 18 percent more than living in the city."

And here I am thinking, that's pretty good stat, just wanted to share with her a valid source's stat, she says...

"Well according to new york times u have a higher chance dying from heart attacks living in the city."

Dang, she's good. 

Season Finale of a Guilty Pleasure

As the dreaded Seattle weather from the fall, winter and spring come to an end so do the seasons of the television shows we all attach ourselves to throughout these past nine months.  You know as well as I do that there are winners and losers out there and worst of all the ones that make your guilty pleasure list - the ones that you have to watch when your significant other is out of town, and you can't bear to "like" the fanpage on Facebook because it's just that guilty of a pleasure.

I don't know who actually follows this page, but after watching the one show I can claim as my absolute shameful habit I am willing to admit... I may be the only person after missing the first seasons, to jump into the show during its second season to watch every episode since, at the age of 27 to love Gossip Girl. This is where you jaw drops, and probably lose a little respect for me, but what isn't there to love about scandal, lots of monies, high street fashion, the New York backdrop, and the ridiculousness of family business.  

This is where you wonder what it took for me to come out of the Chanel and Gucci filled closet... well I just watched Season Five's season finale.  The last 5 minutes is what brought me to where I am now - sharing with you what is heartwarming to me.

If you're still reading this, you 1) find Gossip Girl to be your guilty pleasure as well, 2) find this more interesting than being productive, or 3) enjoy my writing style, no matter what the reason I will tell you what the last five minutes did for me.  My favorite couple on Gossip Girl, Chuck + Blair, have gone through trials and tribulations and boy do I mean trials and tribulations, are finally coming to the millionth time where they can finally be together, and of course the tables have turned where Blair will come in to save Chuck after all the times he has saved her.

As the last five minutes air, coinciding this ending scene starts to fade in is the hottest graduation season song, We Are Young by Fun (52.6M views on YouTube)  So what if I get sappy when it comes to graduation time, it's all these songs of grandeur (you know exactly what I mean) start airing and it always gets me... and so what if Blair says to Chuck "You have been saving me all year long, it's my turn to save you... you said I've been betting against you, now I'm betting on you. I'm all in," as she slides her shiny million dollar casino chips onto the Blackjack table the melody of We Are Young is playing the chorus... the chorus!  The best part of any song.

I know I'm not convincing you at all that this is a show worthy of your time, and trust me, it isn't, but it is... at the same time.  As I wait 6 long months to find out what happens next I hear this over and over... "It's a dumb show about drama that comes out of no where...." says Kiwon with judging eyes.

Well, that's probably more than you needed to know, and will probably hit "unsubscribe" from our blog, and if Kiwon knew this is what I was going to post as my comeback piece, he'd probably have a heart attack.  Well, hopefully you don't, because you are reading a blog titled "Bad Micky Ficky" you knew you weren't getting political news here.

Now that I've shared my television guilty pleasure, what is yours?  

Don't leave me hanging here... ...jerks.

p.s. Gossip Girl is the American version of any Korean Drama
