Let me just say, people have always recommended '24' to me, but I was always kind of confused by the premise. Each episode is literally an hour of a day? And each season is one full day? And then... we... jump? Or something? I'm not sure I have it right, but suffice it to say, I didn't really care.
But oh, do I ever care about the commercials they've been airing. What is it that happened to Kiefer Sutherland? Why is he all solitary!Jackified? Why are things exploding? Why do I care?
Why indeed.
In other news, AOL parenting, you are wrong. Well-intentioned, but so very, very wrong. No parent who wants to name their kid "Ashley" is going to think "Astrid" is a cool alternative. AND BARNABY IS NEVER GOING TO BE NOT STUPID. NEVER! OMG.
Sure, you have a good idea with replacing Anastasia for Alexandra- even though they're both two of my favorite names, but Maisie for Madison? Kai for Kyle? Dude. And then their justification for "Delilah" is pretty good: Overlook its questionable past -- as Samson's seductress and Chuck Berry's heartbreaker -- and the name has an intrinsic beauty that cannot be ignored. Sure, most people don't go around getting Biblical insults hurled at them (or hurling them, I assume) but hee.
I needed to go to the infirmary today, but in my extreme wisdom and foresight, I forgot. It was open from 12-4, and I remembered at 3:56. Great job, Madi. I don't know if they'll be open tomorrow. So, I have to do that and turn in my very first job application. And maybe finish Firefly, which just makes me sad. I love pretty much everyone. Except River. And Jayne. And Simon. And Book. And I really need to stop saying things like that when they're obviously lies. (But I really, really do love Mal and Kaylee and Inara and ZOE AND WASH OMG.) I need icons.
I also need to read about ten more pages in one book, and at least twenty in my other one for comparative politics. Meh. Uni would be much more fun without classes.
weird names,
