So I was gonna write an entry about work (and that one is still coming), but the rape scene in Weeds is trailing around my mind and I felt I had to let it out by writing about it. But I have no words. Weeds, whose head writer is a woman, wrote a rape scene in which the victim smiled and laughed. Something is swimming in my mind about the ( Read more... )

I finally caught the second ep of the new season of Weeds a few days back.

TF is up with that pseudo-rape scene??? This show is plummeting fast.

I'm living an ep of Fresh Prince...

"Remember I had came here and I had watch you poof the flambe?
I had liked that.
So then I came and I poofed, too... But I poofed big... And I poofed the kitchen down."

Well, not quite, but I burned a quesadilla Cylvenia brought in for me. It was good though! A lil crispy, but good.

So SuperNanny has become my "reality tv" fix of choice (which is an upgrade from my previous Flavor of Love obsession). I know nothing in this world wants to acknowledge the experiences of Black folks, particularly young, poor, Black women, but I would really like to see at least one episode that catered to a family where the head of household was ( Read more... )

I think I should regularly re-watch movies/tv shows/etc. My perspective may very well change. For no particular reason, I watched Oz again. And I was so insulted by it. Just the style of the show is insulting. It moves in this way that assumes the viewer won't pay attention unless stuff is spelled out for him/her. Or maybe that the viewer CAN'T pay ( Read more... )

The Wire - Starts back this Sunday (but is available now On Demand. suck a fart, Timmy). Woo hoo! Last season though. Boo hoo. For those interested, there are these really cute shorts about Prop Joe and Omar as kids (there's also one about Bunk and McNulty becomming partners, but it's wack as hell). If you have On Demand, you can check and see if ( Read more... )

Good News: I'm slowly getting over my "Buy You a Drank" obsession (although I contemplated buying the ringtone for like 2 minutes today).

Bad News: That damn Making The Band song seems like it's taking its place.

Team Brian A.!!

I'm trynna make a running tab of all the sitcom cliché plots.

~The "Reverse Sexism" ep. A boy tries out for something female oriented. Usually a pageant. He usually wins.
Ejemplos: Screech wins Miss BaySide, Dwayne tries out for Miss Hillman, though he didn't win.

~The Old Flame ep. An old bf/gf comes back and raises concern with the current gf/ ( Read more... )

How is it that someone can capture your feelings and just hijack them? I'm not sure if I'm lonely or just craving (nor am I really sure what the difference is). I'm sure it'll leave...eventually ( Read more... )

Ok, yes, Puffy makes me laugh on occasion. Forcing people to walk to Bk from midtown for cheesecake is amusing. Him getting a mohawk kinda tickled me. All of the Dylan incidents had me doubled over, but regardless, as Huey said, "Whatever, I still don't like that, ni**a." And Making The Band 3 is only proving to reinforce the dislike. Putting aside ( Read more... )
