(no subject)
So I kind of fudged one of the papers I was supposed to bring to orientation and now I'm gonna have to reschedule for Tuesday's orientation. God, I suck.
So since I don't have to wake up tomorrow morning, I watched the Mad Men season premiere and True Blood.
I have mixed feelings about Mad Men. I didn't like the beginning when Don is thinking about how he was born and then that whole scene with his mother giving birth. How the hell is he supposed to know how he was born? Because when I was born, I didn't exactly get a great view of the hospital room, what with my eyes being covered with goo and all. Also, that birth canal didn't have much of a moon roof. Maybe it was supposed to represent what he thought had happened, but it still felt a little stupid. Too "Oh look, his mother was a whore. That's why he has issues."
No, he's just an asshole, okay? And that's fine, I like asshole!Don. He's entertaining. Like the fact that he can reveal secrets from his past to a random airline stewardess whilst simultaneously securing sex is very impressive. I mean, if you give most men a line like "It's my birthday." to use to score sex, I can bet you that a really big chunk of them would follow it with "Now get on your knees and blow my candles out." I can fucking assure you. But Don's classy, okay? He doesn't need to resort to cheap come ons. He's Dick Whitman posing as Don Fucking Draper posing as some guy who's name I already forgot. Oh shit, they should just call him the new P.Diddy and get it over with. This motherfucker is smooth.
I also love how easily lying comes to him. I mean, shit, he could be in Scotland (you know, just chillin') and some random crazy person could just come up to him, pointing and screaming, "OMG, it's the Lockness monster!!!" And you know that if it benefited him in some way, Don would just go "...My friends call me Nessie." And two hours later he would have the whole fucking world thinking that all along the Lockness monster had really been disguising itself as Don fucking Draper. YOU KNOW HE WOULD.
My reaction to True Blood was OMG ERIC CRIED IN SWEDISH!!!!!! The end. I'm a fangirl, okay? No, I do not care that he tricked Sookie into drinking his blood. I still like him more than Bill. Also, that dream bed scene? HOOOOT. Hoyt and Jessica are still adorable, but they're so very obviously young and stupid. I hope neither of them dies. I'd like to see their relationship as they mature a little beyond the "Our love is pure and will last forever!!!!" stage.
Oh! And vampire Jesus died. Like I said, ERIC CRIED IN SWEDISH!!!! And I don't do slash a lot, but I can bet you that Godric totally tapped that. Was that in the books? I think it was. Or maybe I'm just mixing the books up with some fanfiction or something.
Hmmm, I need to get a vampire Jesus icon asap.
