Nov. 19 Comparisons: There's lots of similar story lines in 90210 and Gossip Girl.
Dad gets into legal trouble and runs away: Nate's dad on GG embezzled money and ran away. Now he's in prison. On 90210, Navid's dad had underage girls in his porn films, and that's child pornography. He ran away. Nate then became poor for awhile, and I'm guessing so will Navid. I will give points for 90210's storyline about and underage girl in a porn film. I never saw that storyline on teen drama. There was good acting when Navid confronts his dad.
Young mom runs away, single dad storyline: On GG, Georgina is not a good mom or person in general. She has a kid with good guy Dan. G runs away and D is forced to be a single dad for some episodes. G comes back and says she had counseling with her parents and she will raise her kid. D is not really the father, so he's absolved from responsibility. On 90210, Jen is not a good mom or person in general. There is good acting when Jen starts crying when her baby gets hurt. J runs away, and leaves good guy Ryan to be a single dad.
Jock is gay: I saw this on Smallville, Glee, Hellcats, and Degrassi.
TV shows with dancing routines: At first Glee had all the singing and dancing since it came out last year. Now Hellcats came and it's more with cheer leading routines. There has recently been an episode where they danced to Michael Jackson's "You Rock my World" which is one of my favorite songs of his.
Couple divorces at party: I saw Milhouse's parents divorce when the Simpsons throw a dinner party on The Simpsons. I just saw on Desperate Housewives where Brian Austin Green's character Keith's parents get divorced at Bree's Thanksgiving dinner.
Cartoon moms get into fighting: On The Simpsons, Marge gets into MMA parody "Ultimate Punching Kicking Choking Association. Lois on Family Guy gets into boxing.
Scientology cult diss: On The Mentalist, they did two episodes where the CBI team investigates a organization that is similar to Scientology. I recently saw it on Lie to Me.
Serial killer with mother issues: I was watching Criminal Minds which is about FBI catching serial killers. Robert Knepper (T Bag from Prison Break, Samuel from Heroes) plays a serial killer with mother issues. He was talking to his mom the entire time, and it turns out she was dead. It was very Psycho.
Hoarding is a storyline: I saw this on South Park and Degrassi.
Character falls into a hole at a ranch, and someone rescues them: I saw this on Heartland where Mallory and Badger fall into a hole. That reminds me of an episode of Save by the Bell from the early 90s where that happened too.
Guest- stars: It's November sweeps and that's when they have all the big guest- stars come on like the singer Fefe Dobson on Hellcats and Joe Jonas on 90210.
Nov. 21 Job: This busser job pays $8.80/hr, but the tips are really good. On a week day I got a $10 tip because there are two servers and I split my tip with another busser. On Sat., I got a total of $24.25 tip from three servers. On Sunday, I got $35 tip from four servers. I split with the other busser.
This pays more than the Soup place. I got a starting wage $9/hr and raised to $10/hr. I get tips every 6 months. I was a food counter attendant. It was easier to make sandwiches and serve soups.
This busser job is like Robin Thicke's "Sex Therapy" song lyric: "Stressed out, uptight, overworked, wound up." At the Soup place, it was busy, but I wasn't running around. I stood a lot. This busser job, I'm constantly running around by cleaning tables, setting tables, putting dirty dishes away in the back.
Gym: I realized that I have been working hard mentally on my job search by going on the internet and applying. By working at the busser job, my legs are tired. I am not physically fit. I haven't had a physical job since I worked at a restaurant in a couple of months. The last job I had was an office job where I sat all day.
American Music Awards: I was on the internet looking for a job, and this was on in the background. There were constant musical performances to watch from Usher, Justin Beiber, and Kesha, etc. They were all very entertaining. I think they saved the best for last because for the first time ever, New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys all teamed up together and performed a medley of their songs.
They all dressed great in black and white. They sounded and looked good. It was a very fun and energetic performance. I liked how the cameras cut to grown women in the audience and singing and dancing to the songs. lol. Then it kind of reminded me of Glee the first season. Mr. Schuester and three other teachers formed a boy band together. Glee reminded me of when NKOTB reunited together because they're a group of grown men singing and dancing together.
My sister saw it and said: "This is so rich."
Inspiration: I was watching Heartland and it showed flashbacks of Ty's past and it reminded me of my The Fighter script. I can really see Ty (Graham Wardle) in my script. There was season 2 premiere of Human Target. It was good. There are two women added into the cast when last season there were only three guys.
Nov. 22 Office job: I look over my old notes and see that there was this East Indian couple that came into the office when I used to have that office job. They ordered furniture and they needed it that weekend. They ordered it months ago and never received it. They had to have this prayer before being able to move into their home.
There was this woman who worked with me there, and she ranted to me about this bad sales guy. How he says whatever the customer wants to hear, and sells it to them. When the customer isn't happy with the product, the customer service is stuck dealing with it.
Woman: We had a big fight before I went on my maternity leave.
Me: But that was months ago.
Woman: Actually that was years ago and we never got along after that.
I thought since she ranted to me, she is like putting me into the office culture. However, not really because later on I was dismissed.
