Red lights are awesome~!!! [18 Dec 2009|02:34am] deityofdeath Such an odd statement but tonight I'd have to say a Laser pointer bought for my cats. The cat I took in and named "Baker" chased the little red light in a circle until he fell over like a little drunk and thus I am now calling him "Nascar". LOL~!! My family is now questioning my sanity. I got another paw print. Nascar AKA Baker has found a home so I stamped his paw and had it tattooed on my ankle. I'm going to run out of ankle before I run out of rescued kitties. Well let me get off of here. Bed time, here's hoping the snow is bad so I can call out from work. post comment

[11 Dec 2009|05:32pm] aslanscountry Dude I'm just going to come out and say it, Glee is pretty much the worst TV show I've ever seen in my life. Not even because it's offensive. And no, it's not "satire." If it was satire, it would actually be funny. But completely putting aside the fact that it's offensive, it's just this incredibly stupid show cobbled together from about eight different genres and not in a good way. They try to have the characters say things that are shocking so it can be like Arrested Development, but the only character who's actually good enough to be on Arrested Development is Sue. It's hard to watch the other characters with the right frame of mind because about a minute after they say something over-the-top offensive, they become really goopy and inspirational to a vomit-worthy degree. Before you give me an example of a show where the characters say amusingly offensive things, but can also be genuinely likable in other scenes, I'm not saying it can't be done, it's just not being done here. The cognitive dissonance of everyone pretending that Lea Michele is a better singer than Amber Riley is breaking my brain. And so is the cognitive dissonance of the show trying to have "diversity" and then showing complete disrespect and laziness when dealing with the POC and PWD characters. Seriously dude this isn't about me being offended, it's just annoying! I think if you asked Ryan Murphy what he was trying to say about people with Down Syndrome, for example, a huge glob of unintelligible words would come out of his mouth, like: "jdrhtev .... duteoppdtt ... dsjfheierurufc!" Actually, you know what, I just realized the show Glee is trying to be--Freaks and Geeks, right? Aspects of it are really dark, satirical, and/or ridiculous, but it's also sweet and sincere in the big picture. The problem is that Judd Apatow obviously put in actual effort when he was writing the show. Glee has good parts but I just get the impression the people writing it really don't care, and have a hard time paying attention to most of the characters or plotlines. I find it horrifying that anyone loves this show. Seriously. Can someone explain it to me? 5 comments|post comment

[11 Dec 2009|12:40pm] aslanscountry if you are writing a card to someone who is Jewish and you are Christian, can you say "Happy Hannukah" or do you just sound like a jerk who's pretending to be Jewish? I think happy holidays sounds boring. 5 comments|post comment

first sentence (sometimes two) for every month! [09 Dec 2009|08:23pm] aslanscountry January so I didn't want to post this until my half was definitely serviceable, but Ami and I (with my dad's help) bought our website the other day and have been working on it since then. February Clayton gave me Out of the Silent Planet for Christmas and I accidentally skipped church because I was reading it. IRONY! March Ami: i mean i'd do an internship but i want money and unemployment is so high that i think they might give the job i want to someone who needs to work in order to live but i mean i need money too April 1. The Mountain Goats SCORE. May stuff is crazy, plus my tailbone really hurts. June I got my JOB REJECTION LETTER. It was really nice though. July my lit requirements at Oberlin are already overstuffed, plus I think you're only supposed to take classes in one concentration at Edinburgh, where I'm about to study abroad. August I love Craiglist personals so much. is that embarrassing? (it's necessary that you go read this whole post, it's pretty wonderful: http://aslanscountry.livejournal.com/328868.html) September I just accidentally cut my bangs more than I meant to (mostly because I didn't have my regular scissors and had to use kitchen scissors and kept screwing up). October I just wondered--are there any girls in the "I Am Autism" video? Because I only remember one, and that seems weird. It's supposed to be like 10-25%, right? November plans for tomorrow: get up at 7 and basically watch tv and noodle around of course, but finish sources for paper, print out at the library and be at the divinity school by 10 to return books to the library. December Every time I get into a car I think of all the pieces being made in different cities, and then put on boats and shipped across the ocean to another place where they’re tied together and then shipped to another place, and then more shit’s put on it, and then more shit, and then it’s shipped somewhere else, and then it’s just like, “Wow,” and then 12 years later it’s thrown in a dump, and you’re like, “Really? Or I could just walk a little bit?” Reading this was making me depressed because all my thoughts were stupid but then I got to VINCENT KARTHEISER! Yay! He makes everything better. post comment
