lesbians do it with hairgel.
So, while I am waiting for large files to finish copying to my new external hard drive (- his name is Dexter, it is so exciting - as a rule, I do not name my electronic gadgets, but ours is a special love), I figured I would post some random thoughts on the L Word - episode 204.
First of all, I was not at all bothered by the show's usage of that ohsosacred QAF song, "Lover's Spit" - mainly because, well, I don't really care, and also - it is Feist's version! (I think - unless it is Emily Haines.) And I love Feist. It seems like The L Word must as well, cause this is the second use of Feist in the span of four episodes.
No, no. I was bothered by that scene for another reason entirely. Or did no one else notice that the girl Bette is oh so prettily sexin' up looks like Michael Jackson. The hair, the skin, the weird nose. Tell me I'm wrong.
Shane so pretty and hot. So so hot. But I must be the only girl in the world to want Shane to keep her clothes on. It's harder to count her ribs that way. :-SS
Blah, blah, plot developments, etc. I like the Shane/Jenny BFFness. I like Alice in general, and covet her hair. But here's what I must warble about:
Last season, I hated Jenny's guts. She was repellent - she was confusing and used people and constantly wore weird black tights. This opinion was not helped by the fact that she had very little interaction with the more interesting characters, and of the ones she did interact with - I thought Marina was a bitch, and a boring one at that, and Tim creeped me out half the time. (Errr. As you can tell, I really didn't like season one in general.)
So please explain to me why little Jenny is suddenly my favorite character.
Don't get me wrong - I'm sure she could still screw up and get on my bad side again, but just look - this season, they have fixed everything I found wrong with her character last season. No more Marina and Tim, and Shane as BFF - yay! And she is opening herself up to deal with her shit, instead of wallowing in The Angst.
And now, now - she is cute! And a little snarky. And let's face it - I am totally empathizing, because deep down inside, I too am a Melodramatic Writer Chick. Really. The only difference is that when faced with a situation like my two-month-long writer's block, I just know I'll write crap and don't even open Word, whereas Jenny would have pressed on regardless and have written sixteen short stories about sad clowns by now. I can't decide which of those options is a greater boon to humanity.
So yes. I'm not sure if she's really my favorite character, or if I even have one, but I've just noticed that almost every time I connect emotionally with a scene, or go "awww", Jenny's bound to be somewhere in the picture. It's disconcerting, considering my previous character-hate, but it's okay.
And the hair-cutting scene. How gorgeous was Shane when she looked up into Jenny's face? And when Jenny started crying, I did too. (Damnit.)
I am chewing on a teabag. This is a sign of a desperate mind.
