midnight musings
Folgers has a commercial on Hulu (and probably real TV, but I am not allowed to watch that anymore - TJ commands all my prime time attention) which is really annoying and sexist. There's a blond chick, who is clearly more than 20, getting breakfast, and her Dad shows up and is all "You were out late" and she's all "I'm not a kid", and he's all "Yeah but still", and she's all "Well, it's fine because... **ring flash** ..I'm engaged!"
so I guess he doesn't need to worry, because once married, she'll be home early every night. And then the Dad is all "Yeah, Brad (?) is a good guy - I told him I liked him last week when we talked..." OOOH HUGZZZ!!
Now I know they want me to be all warm and gooey - Daddy loves me! And Brad Loves me! And he was old-fashioned, and asked Daddy's permission!" (and I'm not gonna lie - Mr. Angel chatted up Daddy Angel before our engagement and I thought that was awesome) BUT!!! The whole thing is so so so - she's NAUGHTY to be out at night on her own, but OH it's all ok, because it was really a Patriarchy Sanctioned Transfer of Power (she thought she was out on her own recognizance, but she was wrong!)
Just. eww.
In other news, last night I dreamed that I met monanotlisa in a museum in Germany by accident, while I was waiting for Kate Hewlett to show up so we could work on a short film. It was really an accident! I just happened to recognize Mona from her pictures! And I said hello! And then there was Kate, and we (Mona and I) awkwardly pretended that SGA Fandom was not how we got together.
Also, I rewatched that old SG-1 video set to "We didn't start the fire" (bad copy here) and it made me sort of sad. The Stargate shows were really delightful Sci Fi. At their best, they lived up to all the imaginative world building and hope for the future that defines the genre for me. And now BattleGate Universe 90210 just blows to the point where I couldn't force myself to watch more than a couple of episodes, and there isn't really any other TV that I care about (I mean yes yes - I watched White Collar, and nothing has ever been gayer, and that's lovely of course, but it's not the same.)
I miss great old school fic. I miss the explosion of SGA that lured me to LJ, but also, I realize that I had years of good spec-fic fanfic...from the x-files, to potter, to buffy, to SGA...
What's next peeps? I tried Merlin, but there's really only one story for the fic to tell - the revelation - and that's not enough to hold my attention. And like I said, I liked White Collar, but I don't need to read any fic about them...
Eh - It's not like I have time for the computer anyway, but frankly, I miss my escape. And I miss my porn.
