Yeah, this is me whinging again.

Have you signed up for the Apocalyptothon yet?

Is it really bad if I'm so frustrated with my writing right now that I'm really tempted to just curl up in a ball for the rest of the day with my Cheetos and Pepsi? Except I can't, because we're having Easter dinner tonight rather than tomorrow.

Fuck it, I'm stuffing myself full of junk food and watching Project Runway Canada.

Oh, links while I'm here:

Marvel Divas: Because Nothing Says Superhero Like "Hot Sudsy Fun". I'm sorry, maybe I'm weird, but I loathe Sex and the City-type romantic antics and kind of just want to see my female superheroes being smart and kicking ass. There's a reason I'm watching The Mummy right now, and it's not for Brendan Fraser. (Ok, not totally for Brendan Fraser.)

Another Fast and the Furious movie is in the works. Heh. I still find it amusing it made the apocalyptothon list.

Red river hog piglets!

7 Steps To Getting (And Losing) The Worst Job in Showbiz

The Obamas are getting their puppy on Tuesday!

Oh, and in case you missed it, Sarah Michelle Gellar's pregnant. I don't think I realized she was only a few months older than me until just now. Boy, that's ... a bit depressing, actually.

Spencer and Heidi: Still skeevy attention whores.

Octomom's pushing for a reality show. Gag me.

I thought I had heard that was the reason why Octomom was trying to go Octo in the first place... Which is even worse.

Still Fast But Damn This Humidity

*checks the Gellar link*

Um, Yahoo has an "OMG!" page? *dies a little*

But...puppy! *alives again*

And this might make you feel better: Pepsi's about to release sugar-sweetened versions of Pepsi and Mountain Dew. Pepsi Throwback! (My friend popfiend got some early.)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

OMG, waaaant that Pepsi. I can totally justify continuing to drink it if it doesn't have high fructose corn syrup in it. *grabbyhands*

SMG was probably pressuring Freddie back when news of Alyson Hannigan's pregnancy first aired.

"No, Freddie, she's always more popular. We need to get a move on, our baby *has* to be prettier!"

Sure, Sarah - just make sure it eats a few sandwiches in its life...unlike you.

*le sigh* That Marvel Divas post makes me miss the old scans_daily like hell.

I find word "hoglets" very funny. (OMG so cute!)

[animamea.livejournal.com]

Oh, great. Now I desperately want Cheetos.

Except that I'm in sweats and I need to wash my hair.

;_;

Oh, so she and Freddie are still together. Hey, that's fab. And he's getting a new sitcom. Um. Right. Because the last one went so well.

Well, I'm sure it was our society's celebration of/fascination with Quiverfull mega-families that made her think it might be awesome to have a million kids in the first place. I mean, the Duggars or whatever they're called have a TV show, why not her?

Oh yeah, she's poor and unmarried.

The whole mess, our whole society really, is just sick, sick. No wonder it produces sick people.

EDIT: Also, hooooooooglets!

I went to see if Marvel Divas was at least being written by a woman, and of course the creative team is entirely male, which is not automatically bad but hobbles their ability to address the criticism a project like this would inevtiably attract.

That's the thing that really bugs me. If you want to do a comic about women that doesn't annoy women, maybe HIRE A WOMAN. (Was Kathryn Immonen busy or something?) Also, don't let J. Scott Campbell have anything to do with it.

[fyrdrakken]

The problem there being that "attracting female readers" is still <<<< "keeping male fanboys reading," so rather than risk men getting turned off by females who aren't spank fodder in at least every other panel and who have lives that involve things not of interest to the typical superhero comics audience, they're going to figure that having female leads will be enough to satisfy the fangirl audience and just keep writing what they're used to.

GASP! BUFFY IS HAVING A BABY? This makes me SO happy. I don't even know whyyyy!
