My friends and I were recently discussing the merits of Cougar Town and my position was that the biggest problem is Courtney Cox. The neighbours - great. Busy Philipps - gotta love her. Paper buddy - take your shirt off. But Courtney Cox's character Jules is loud, pushy, annoying, and mostly not funny. Is this what Botox does to Monica Geller?
Take tonight's episode. She's going out with this hot younger guy and she doesn't like the way he kisses. Great premise - I've had my own bad experiences with the "Toronto Tongue", as we rowdy girls used to call it. But she's openly criticizing him, going so far as to demonstrate with an apple what he should be doing. The whole thing was so unappealing that I find it hard to believe that he would even want to kiss her after that. I could have wanted to kiss a guy for 10 years and if he did that all the desire would scoot right out of me. This guy has known her for like 10 days, all of which she made him wait to have sex with her. I think he would be so horrified by that Public Display of Insanity that he would run for the hills. I mean, seriously -- She's dragging him around like a puppy, making him sit in on an intervention for her ex-husband, and then forcing him to kiss her while her best friend rates his technique. Is there anything less sexy than that?
For the purposes of my higher education, I may continue to watch this show. But since my classmates and I have taken to writing unexpected deaths of main characters into our beat sheets, I have a feeling that Coco will be falling down an elevator shaft very soon.
P.S. What am I doing awake at this hour?

about me
- superblackgirl
- i was coined "blackgirl" by virtue of being the lone black girl in class, at work, at the party, etc. so i decided instead of feeling uncomfortable, i would just go with it. that's the superblackgirl philosophy: embrace it. own it. make it your superpower.
