Lost at Sea, Lost on Land, What's the Difference? - 
by J-Unit
This past Thursday marked the return of The OC from a month-long hiatus, but it seems even longer than that. I would have to say that I am pretty excited to have the Newport kids grace our screen once again. At times, you might even call my enthusiasm embarrassing and yes, pathetic. But hey, I'm a blogger, so what was I waiting for? Fame and riches? We all can't be Nick Denton. Anyway, I was at this Halloween party and met these two girls, and I knew right away we were on the same wavelength because they hated Laguna. They were kind enough to feign interest when I told them that I blogged, and we discussed The OC. I went outside for some, uh, fresh air, and by the time I realized that I should have been flirting, they were gone. Maybe it was the Nixon mask, maybe it was that Golden Lobster I had for dinner, but the point (and there is a point, really!) is that I know there are at least three people in the country who have been anticipating the return of The OC, and so without too much more rambling, let's get on with the recap.
Things are starting to get at least a little bit more routine in the Cohen household. Caleb is dead, and while it may be a little disrespectful to say so, his presence, or lack thereof, really means a lot less random shit to worry about for the Cohens. And since he left Julie no money, she is no longer in any position to be a really big bother. We just have to settle back into the old routines and everything will be back just like it used to be.
OK, so things will never be like they used to be, because, well for starters, Kirsten is cooking. Normally, putting her in control of any sort of kitchen utensil would be like putting the government in charge of, well, anything. Your best wish is that when they are all done with what they have to do, there will be enough to salvage later on. Things won't change overnight, but that doesn't mean that Kirsten can't give it the old college try, and from the early returns, it looks like she is doing OK. She has made a full breakfast for the boys that includes Eggs Benedict and Jell-O with fruit.
This is all very beautiful, but we all know that breakfast is sacrosanct in the Cohen household, and anything besides coffee and a bagel is quite the strange occurrence. When Sandy walks in looking for his bagel and a schmear, he welcomes the smell, which he calls fancy, but he had stopped himself before he said what was really on his mind, but notices that Ryan and Seth are kind of looking at their breakfasts like they weren't sure if they were supposed to eat it or sit on it or paint a picture. I also have to say, for somebody so PC, Sandy Cohen lets his family waste on awful lot of food, don't you think? They are always ordering food, and I never see them eat leftovers. Any meal they don't have at home, they have at the diner. My only guess is that their maid Rosa, who we never see but we know is around or used to be, takes the food home to her kids or something.
