The Hills: “I’m Done With You”

I loved when Kristin and Lo were talking about Heidi’s party and then each would interject comments about Audrina’s laundry. Classic Hills. And Kristin and Brody walking on the beach; Kristin’s wearing a bikini, Brody’s saying, “It may just work out.” Could it get any more romantic?

The Hills: “Old Habits Die Hard”

Let’s start with talking about Audrina’s secretarial buzzing system. What is this, Mad Men? Why is that necessary? As if Audrina actually sits at her dining room table and does real work, waiting for someone to buzz downstairs.
Kristin went back to Laguna to visit home and apparently even her stepmom is afraid of her. It [...]

The Hills: “Strike One”

The events of this week revolved around yet another party. Except this time it wasn’t Frankie’s! Props to Jade for planning Brody a surprise party, which is perhaps the only good thing that alchie’s ever done for the man.

The Hills in Haiku

The Hills in Haiku: “Girls Night Out”

MTV’s The Hills isn’t really my scene. I have never voluntarily watched a second of the show, and have made a conscious effort not to know the names of anyone on it. But when presented with the opportunity to retell its weekly happenings through the ancient Japanese art of haiku, I bit the bullet and [...]
