Jun. 4th, 2009 01:09 pm-- What the fuck is wrong with people?!
-- No, seriously, what the FUCK is wrong with people?!, SPN edition. If I behaved like that in public, my mother would find out somehow, wait until I was within range, and smack me HARD. And I'd have earned it.
-- David Carradine was found hanged today in his hotel room in Bangkok. Oh, God, that's terrible.
-- 20 Brilliant Bookcases *grabbyhands*
-- This Is The Way The Culture Wars End. An interesting piece with a lot of good realistic points about the abortion/gay marriage movements.
-- The 6 Most Terrifying Medical Malpractice Cases. GYAH.
-- 25 Notably Trippy Kids' Shows
-- How About An Animated Movie With A Female Lead Who's Not a Princess? I could certainly stand for that.
-- Sigourney Weaver Tops List of Sci-Fi's Baddest Women For the most part it's a decent list, although the io9 pretty much points out the exact weak points I spotted as well.
-- 20 Feminist TV Characters I think my biggest problem with the list is that it only includes characters who openly declared themselves feminists, which is great on some level but restricting on others. The comments bring this up in a subtle way -- don't complain about there only being Caucasians on your list of TV feminists when you've kept, say, Claire Huxtable (or, for that matter, Rudy Huxtable) or Miranda Bailey or freaking Uhura off just because they never put out a neon sign.
-- I haaaaaaaaate the Black-Eyed Peas new song. Which of course means they play it ALL the time on the radio. *sigh*
-- I'm still floating on a Make Me A Supermodel finale high. Is that bad? :D (Those three BOYS. Remember last year when the boys were behaving like absolute twits at the end? And this year we get woobie!Branden getting all choked up over his mom on the runway, and Sandhurst and Jonathan just share this LOOK and go over to give him snuggles without saying a word. AWWWWW.)
-- I need a GIF of Heidi sobbing on I'm A Celebrity and I can't figure out how to do it off Hulu or the NBC site or whatever and it bothers me. Urgh.
-- I walked all the way up the hill to my parents' house (seven or eight blocks, forty degree angle or so) and nearly gave myself a coronary in the process. Good times. *headdesk*
