Will: Before I begin my dialogue with Maureen tonight, I want to mention how nonplussed I am by this new season of the OC. The real drama’s gone, Caleb Nichol’s dead, and now Marissa Cooper, everybody’s favorite part-time lesbian and gun-wielding sex vixen, has taken some serious wimp pills. The lily-livered Marissa of this season has taken the place of the wussy-faced Ryan of last year.
Bad Will: So
Maureen decided not to watch the show or be in the United
States again this week, so it’s back to your lovable Wills.
Good Will: We
are lovable, aren’t we?
Back in 1999, many people thought the Internet could solve every problem known to man. Six years later the advent of online gym proves that they were right. Believe it or not, a school district in Minneapolis began offering an online gym class last spring and now has a long waiting list of students eager to sign up. (See this New York Times article if you want proof that this not a joke.) So you think you’re ready for online gym? Don’t be so sure.
Will: So last night’s OC was pretty weak, I must confess. I was hoping for the grand return of lesbianism, more boobies, and senseless acts of ultra violence, and all I got was a couple of loser rich kids getting expelled from their private high school.
Sure, it feels like your summer vacation just started, but it’s actually time to go back to school—just like those commercials have been threatening since mid-July. That means homework and lab partners and SATs, but luckily fall also signals the release of a bunch of great new music. Calculus tests and detention are no match for new albums from the likes of Franz Ferdinand and Bob Dylan. Download the following tracks, plug into your headphones, and it’ll be winter break before you know it!
