Lazy Sunday – Hanging Out With Daria
Lazy Sunday – a weekly column where I discuss my favorite lazy day indulgences – movies, television shows, books and music.
Oh Daria. Why did it take me so long to get to know you?
Yes, until recently I had never seen an episode of the fantastic series Daria. I didn’t have cable in the late 90’s/early 00’s and had no chance to catch the show in its original run. It was always there on my periphery but I never took the plunge until recently when I was able to borrow the entire series DVD from a friend.
Wow! Can we say relatable? Seriously, I was Daria in high school. I was a good student, very quiet, read all the time, didn’t participate in any extra-curricular activities, had only one best friend, and had a jaded an honest outlook on life. Hell, I even had the same hair (though the glasses came later). The only real difference between us is that I wasn’t quite so sour and I did have my fair share of fun.
