after getting close to finishing season one of one tree hill, i'm finding that The OC > One Tree Hill. yup, as the episodes go by the enthusiasm fades and my liking for chad michael murray just keeeeeeps diminishing. somehow he just doesn't look so cute anymore. the episodes where he went into a 'coma', well that really was a bit much. plus it misses out on the glitz factor. peyton is always wearing the SAME jeans, the SAME leather jacket, the SAME chucks, and some vintage t-shirt. call me superficial, but i really love watching the clothes on The OC. the bags, shoes, clothes. can't help it. marissa's carrying a brazil dior sling bag in episode 17. and her countless chanel bags, especially the one with the purple hearts on the chain strap.

still, if you're a hardcore cmm fan, i suppose one tree hill might do it for you. and i guess if you can live with something like Gilmore Girls, then by all means try out the bizarre love triangles of a small town which at first revolves around basketball. and when it did revolve around basketball, it was riveting, but now that cmm's shoulder is injured and james lafferty's character is free from his controlling father, the basketball factor has dropped. i stuck to it because the first few episodes quoted cummings, shakespeare and steinbeck. PLUS, 'hands down' was feature in the very first episode.

mmm if i spent more time studying and less time critiquing american teen soaps maybe i wouldn't be on the verge of failing my common tests. ha. ha. there's some good-natured self-deprecating humour for you.
