I have a new favorite TV show: Hannah Montana. It is the best thing on the Disney Channel since The Lizzie McGuire show.

P.S. oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Pierre, you seriously just killed me. Please email me now and say you didn't mean it.

I actually do like it. I don't knock you for watching "I Love New York," so don't knock my television taste.

(Later that night, Pierre texted me to ask me to the 11pm showing of the Hannah Montana movie. Usually, I jump at the chance to laugh at Pierre, but I was a little reluctant to say yes. Then I looked online and discovered that it was playing in 3-D. "Holy crap," I said to myself, "this is going to be the movie experience of a lifetime: funny glasses, the worst pop music in history being lipsynched, and Billy Ray Cyrus's daughter in a blond wig. Pierre, Jewy, and I jumped in a cab and hurried to the theater. What we saw was indescribable.)
