Go on, now have Niecy Nash show up to call them on making Kenan wear a fucking dress all the time.

Gov. David Paterson appears on SNL's Weekend Update to call Fred Armisen and the show itself on all of the ableist blind jokes they make about him.

On one hand, he's one hell of a sport for doing it, it was funny, it was true, and it shows that SNL recognizes the complaints being made.

On the other hand, it's not like he himself wrote all of jokes, the show did, and I'll believe they're reeling back on the ableist humor when I see it. (Which I wont, because as Paterson jokes in the clip, "There are a lot of characters, it's funny for 10 minutes and then you just want it to be over.") And seriously, if they think that's going to bring back viewers, they might want to try apologizing for the racist, xenophobic, homophobic, and misogynistic things going on both on and off the air as well. And then they might try fixing the damn problems. Oh, and then they might try BEING FUCKING FUNNY AGAIN.

Status of the writer

For the record, I know that everybody's been asking lately who wants to be on their NaNo filters, and I just wanted to put out the blanket statement that yes, I want to be on all of your NaNo filters. I'll be doing NaNo myself and it helps to know other people are putting themselves through the same sort of hell.

Those of you who've been around for a while know I don't have a NaNo filter. You're here, you're reading, you get to suffer along with me. Or laugh at me as I suffer, in any event. ;)

I cannot WAIT for NaNo, by the way. I had something like seven or eight vacation days from work and no reason to use them, so I took the first two days of November off and I'm pretty much off for the last week and a half of the month as well, interrupted only by the Monday and Tuesday before Thanksgiving and possibly Black Friday (we still don't know if we're getting that off yet).

As for my NaNo idea itself, I'm still worldbuilding. I still haven't figured out if I'm going AU or post-apocalyptic future or how this is going to work, but there are a LOT of rules to go over and I've got a month to work on it.

Aaaaaand then there's Yuletide.

I think I know what I'm asking for:

( Cutting for those who'd like to avoid my probable prompts. )

*

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand then there's fic. Which I am writing. Er, right now.

We'll see if I actually get it finished today.

*

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand then there's my original stuff.

Aside from NaNo I've got a couple of short stories I want to work on and some other novel ideas I've put aside for a rainy day. Writing the fanfic that I've got open right now is part of that, because I seriously need to stretch my writing muscles.

Here's hoping I can get something done this weekend, though. I could use the pick-me-up, quite frankly. (My mom's taking me clothes-shopping for my birthday, which is nice and I appreciate it and I could certainly use new jeans, but at the same time I'm disappointed I won't be getting an eReader. I can't really afford to buy one for myself, especially with Christmas coming up, and I'd rather have a new netbook for Christmas because I need one with school coming up since the one I currently have hasn't been working right for a while. And I certainly don't expect my parents to splurge on more than one expensive piece of electronic equipment at a time, nor will they. Sooooo, no eReader for the girl with three paperbacks in her purse at any given time then. Ugh, me and my First World problems. *sigh*)

Well, if there's one thing I haven't missed about no new episodes of TAR ...

... it's 60 Minutes going overtime. And seriously, how is Undercover Boss still on the air? Can't you figure it out when some new guy shows up to shovel fish guts with a camera crew and a ton of personal questions about how you're not getting paid enough?

( Whatever. On with my reality TV travel show! )
