jen why

i've been addicted to internet t-vizzle as of late. i finally got to absorb the entire amazing 6 seasons of six feet under, dabbled in entourage, and have found a brand new addiction: wonderfalls.

the show has been kaput since 2004, and i heard a bit of buzz about it when i was living in nyc, but haven't gotten around to actually watching it till about a week ago. brief show synopsis: recent brown u grad works touristy retail whilst undergoing a quarter-life crisis until stuffed animals, plastic toys, and wind up trinkets start giving her quirky cryptic instructions that result in good karma and resolved conflicts.

"karma chameleon", the 3rd of the 13 episodes, is my favorite so far. they discuss the motivations behind "jen why" (gen y), over-educated 20-somethings that are just floating about, unsure what to do or where to go with life, slacking and putting forth as little effort as possible. being in a bit of the same boat, i found it comforting to find out that i'm not alone. that people are aware of my generation's "dilemma"...aware enough to make a show about it. i'm just going to blithely ignore the fact that wonderfalls only lasted one season. i'm still relevant! i think. anyway. i'll just keep flailing about until the "true calling" comes and finds me. heeeeeeeere tc tc tc...
