i'll tell the story or not.
mmmmmmm, first smoothie of the year, and it is GLORIOUS. holy shit, our blender is A-FREAKING-MAZING.
and now: time for grilled cheese and tomato soup. or possibly spaghetti-os (i couldn't find hoops, so i bought gears instead. close enough, right?) and doctor who!
i don't even think i want to talk about "planet of the ood". man, the ood were effing terrifying in "impossible planet/satan pit". this was just dumb. and catherine tate, come the fuck on. i know you're a better actor than this. "fires of pompeii" proved it! really! the only recap that made me think this episode wasn't utter tripe was something about hannah arendt's theory about the banality of evil (the central point of making history by stephen fry, probably the best book he's written, not counting his autobiography, and not just because i am obsessed with nazis). in that context, it was actually a mildly interesting episode and i think i might want to watch it again. otherwise, it was full of sup-par melodrama, heavy handed "slavery is bad"-isms (and for the love of christ, if i hear one more person talk about how it is a metaphor for "the african slave trade" i swear i am going to start cracking skulls. because there have NEVER been ANY other slaves EVER, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD except AFRICANS in the american south in the NINETEENTH CENTURY. EVAR), and apologist non-white slave-traders and c.e.o.s so we can really handily dismiss claims of racism while just ignoring the classist more-than-implications because why would we ever think about classism? this is about slavery and slavery is clearly about racism! yeah!
but, i mean, i said i didn't want to talk about it.
i still haven't decided what i think of the new breeders record, but i really like the song "we're gonna rise". it kind of reminds me of "off you" which was probably my faaaaaavorite breeders song EVAR for a while and i listened to it on repeat until my ears bled! (they didn't really do that.)
