hi.
my name is matt nathanson,
and i am addicted to “iCarly.”
ugh. this is so embarrassing.

for those of you over the age of 15, i will let wikipedia explain:

“iCarly is an american television series aimed at teens
and preteens… and is currently aired on Nickelodeon.”

yep.
preteens.
the storylines on “iCarly” make ‘The Sisterhood of the
Traveling Pants’ look like ‘The Godfather.’ like ‘Othello.’
but I LOVE IT. LOVE!! IT!!.

maybe it’s the post tour/december promo burn out.
i got home a few days before christmas
and i still can’t really accomplish anything.
choosing what food to eat feels monumental.
maybe my brain is just functioning slower.
and it is only possible to digest shows geared towards
kids who are reading charlotte’s web.

or maybe i’m devolving.
and it’s only a few short months before i’m drooling in
a crib watching baby einstein videos and making
toothless faces at a mobile…

or maybe i had a stunted adolescence.
and through the magic of Nickelodeon i am finally able
to live out my repressed fantasy of being a teenage girl
who lives without parents (are they dead? on a long trip?),
who has her own internet show, and who’s trouble is over
in 26 minutes.

my money is on a combo of the stunted adolescence thing
and the fact that it’s kind of a rad show.

go ‘tweens!
