When you’re sick, mildly depressed, have gnawing anxiety, haven’t showered in two days and sort of just want to curl up and die in your dirty pink sweatpants, it’s awfully nice when the mail man shows up with the solution: a netflix envelope containing Beverly Hills 90210: Season 1: Disc 1.

Oh god no. I don’t think I can let you come over now.
Actually who am I to judge. I spent an entire weekend watching every episode of the original Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High last year only to then get sucked into Degrassi the Next Generation. Albeit I think it was far more cutting edge and provocative in a realistic way than 90210 ever was, but it’s still popcorn television at it’s finest.
Enjoy and get better. I may be suffering from the same things that ail you. Must be going through our valley. Ugh.

Ooohhh, another must-add to my Netflix queue!! And as for my guilty-pleasure, sick-in-bed-and-don’t-give-a-fuck movie, I’m all about Mean Girls. Hell yeah.
