Two things that piss me off right now:
1. Filmcafe.se is turning to profit. It used to be the single free site for theatre and film people to find each other. When it was created Stagepool was charging 30 euro per month. And now we have to pay for filmacfe as well. Pisses me off. Bastards.
2. So, Lost. Jack was supposed to die in the pilot episode, and Kate was supposed to be the lead character. Until ABC forced the writers to change the script. ABC as in the people who cut Adam Lambert off from the morning show for having the nerve to flaunt the fact he was gay. Now, I'm sorry, but what I'm thinking is that ABC just didn't want a female character to be lead. ABC = new FOX? Or did they always use to be bastards? Bastards.
And why does no one we know have a dog? How can it be there are NO dogs amongst my family and friends? No dogsies at all that I can borrow for walks or wrestle with every now and then? Not a SINGLE dog?
Like a lab. That would be a nice dogsie to borrow.

There is this from my pretend husband. *snork* You see why I love him so.
I was unaware that while I was being a defiant bisexual feminist with tree-hugging tenancies and buckets of agnosticism, I was part of some evil cabal, bent on controlling the Earth. See, nobody sends me memos. I keep hearing about all these agendas I’m supposed to subscribe to and nobody tells me. I have to hear about it on Faux Hysteria network the media. “Science stupid! Science lies!” *conk*conk*conk*
Limos? Dear Cop15, U R doing it wrong.
Dear Fox News, seriously? You’re going with that? Really? |

DEXTER HOLYMOTHEROFGOD.
Is all I have to say.
Loved the whole episode, I actually screamed out loud two times from being overexcited.
On Jennifer's Body and its movie poster. Like, are they allowed to do that? It bears more than a slight resemblance to a TV show that was there first. WTF?

It's been far too lonely here this weekend, and I have to admit, there was a moment where I was tempted to say yes to my mums offer of coming home today (or well, yesterday now, since it's gone 1am) but I'd just hate it. It's so quiet, which is kinda spookey, but also wonderful.
The only downside is I hate having windows open when I'm alone, it's stupid, because I'm 3 floors up and the window only opens like a couple of inches so no one could get in, but I still hate it. You'd think that wouldn't matter seeing as it's the middle of December except I'm sat in a tshirt and pj shorts and boiling.
So far I've spent my holiday watching TV (including a lot of Christmas countdowns, sadly) and reading and not a lot else. No revision yet, though I know I'm gonna have to get on it pretty quickly if I stand any hope of passing the exams. Plus they haven't sorted out the fucking exam arangements so basically I'm fucked.
Still, the guy from Preselli came over to fetch our kitchen table from nextdoors flat (so helpful of them to borrow it and then leave without returning it!) and he promised to come check in on me if he doesn't see me collecting the post for more than two days which is a nice relief.
For now I'm gonna finish watching Life On Mars and then get some sleep and then go shopping so I can do all the washing up everyone so helpfully left for me and maybe get some butter so I can make a crumble to cheer myself up.
Wow this post is a mess. |

A very Happy (Belated) Hanukkah to my Jewish friends.
Yes, I know this evening will officially be the second day, but...I got distracted. By shiny Christmas paper. But anyway...
Happy Hanukkah!

"Certainly his actions hurt me, and they caused consequences for me, but they don't in any way take away my own self-esteem. They reflect poorly on him." Jenny Sanford to Barbara Walters
I’ve admired how this woman has handled the huge mess her STUPID HUSBAND MADE. I don’t know if you are familiar with the political wife trying to muddle through, with cameras and film full blast, as her husband admits to something phenominally stupid thing her husband did. It’s a TV show now, it’s become so prevalent. This woman will stand there, very much deer in the headlights, while her daffy spouse apologies. Again. Some more.
Because too often, these political wives have made their husbands their career. Because they live firmly in the patriarchy (politics) and they had to work with what they had. Many of these women had careers as lawyers and bosses *waves to Ms. Sanford* They left those careers behind to build the image and family that would best serve their husband. For many of these women, their identity is very much tied up in how their husband’s career fares. When husbands do stupid shit, the wives are left to pick up the pieces.
One of them is now the Secretary of State and holds her husband’s balls in a iron-tight grip.
And he’s a good boy now.
But not all political wives end up so well. Some of them feel they have no choice but to stay in the marriage until her newly fabulous husband makes it clear that “it’s not working out”. And the thing is, when a woman can achieve the things she does (like become a lawyer or a doctor or police officer or whatever), she clearly has the brains to land on her feet. Some of these women seem unaware of that. Which is why it’s so nice to hear Ms. Sanford speak out for herself. She’s not tied up in her husband’s career. She an executive who can easily build a career for herself, what with her political connections. Of course, there are people who feel she should, no matter what.
Uh-huh.
Shall I shed my one perfect emo tear of pain for poor Mark Sanford? He’s a goon. He did something really stupid. And Ms. Sanford took one look, packed her bags, and hustled the kids outta there. Let him clean up his own mess. She’s even backing his GOP opponent for the next election. Heh.
See, Mark, you had a wonderful, intelligent, gracious wife–until you fucked up. Now, you have nothing. Not your Argentine “soul mate” (and you so deserves to be slapped with a halibut for that). Not your wife. Not your kids. And soon, not your career. The brains of the outfit has moved out and is not coming back.
Dude, you’re so screwed.
BWAH! |
