B&S/fandomy rambling
Oh my god. Oh my god. I have NEVER been more angry about the B&S gallery not working. I don't know if it's ever not worked. But there is a thumbnail from TV guide and I was like "Heyy is that Patricia or Calista? Definitely Patricia's nose, okay. Wait, that's not Emily Vancamp next to her. *looks down at the tiny word "Olin" in the thumbnail* OH MY GOD."
This was totally not on the record, but I quit fandom on Monday because it betrayed me and turned my favorite character and my favorite thing about television right now into a whore with no reasoning or anything and it's okay if people generally have some form of hatred for her, but when she's just unreasonable and everyone despises her at some deathlike level, that makes it really difficult for me to justify her and it's just too much stress. I'm pissed at the B&S people for giving me a reason to sympathize with her and then just making her like, an evil whore just because it makes for awesome ZOMG plots. Which it seriously does. I mean, her and Nora sharing an office at Ojai? That was like, priceless, and I almost don't blame them for exploiting that for the obvious originality it provides them with. That was awesome. And it totally demeaned Holly in terms of justification for anything she's done. And then they sort of brought back sympathizing circumstances with Rebecca, and on Monday we learned that they're taking it away again and elevating her evil whore level, so I was just so sick of what this is putting me through. I mean, I had to stop watching TV for 2 or 3 weeks because of this show and character. It was just way too much. So on Monday I was like whatever, I quit, and the stress kind of contributed to me being really sick yesterday, which was not fun. But seriously, how can I resist a TV Guide article about the Olins? Especially since I already own three magazines with articles about them from the thirtysomething era, and even those don't include Cliff and Roxy. This is Ken, Patricia, and their spawn. It excites me. I need to take a moment. (On that note - 24 people on my flist, watch Ally McBeal for Peter MacNicol. It is SO WORTH IT. He plays the bagpipes. He takes moments. He wastes 30 seconds of episodes pouring and drinking a glass of water. He gets thrown around by people dancing in their seats during gospel songs. Everything he does is insanely priceless and I've only seen two episodes. But I'm convinced I need to see all of them now. It's brilliant. I'm on the verge of not hating David E. Kelley for being married to Michelle Pfeiffer. I have to admit...he might actually deserve it.)
So...yeah, I don't even know what's going on in my brain, but I have like hardcore homework since I wasn't at school today.
but I don't care now. OMG what am I gonna do? I'm trying to not make this up and down hell of fandom my life so much. I want to be like...a casual viewer and not do my episode posts or get into it and just be like "this is awesome, k, bye." Because I love it when fandom makes me absurdly happy because of a ship or a moment or promo pictures or anything, but it's so dismal when it doesn't do that. ie: 24 recently, or the last episode of B&S and then Prison Break the week after that, and I don't even watch BSG anymore, it's so screwed up, and TWW is gone - as is my only sitcom, which ended on a horrible note anyway. I need to have a sitcom to calm me down from all the other crazy shit, but I've only loved 2-3 of those and there definitely isn't anything on right now that I care that much about. Which is really tragic, because Friends totally got me into primetime TV. It's why I watched American Idol at one point which is why my parents watched 24 which is why I eventually watched 24. And it was also why I watched ER which didn't result in much, but it still led to other things. And it's not even that there's crazy shit right now. It's just...bad. 90% of what I usually love doesn't interest me, and my one reliable fandom right now is totally taking all validation away from the thing I love most about it. I swear to god, House is like the only thing I can watch right now. And that's only because my most hardcore obsessiveness with it is House/Stacy and everything so it's sort of on the DL right now. Hmm. Tempted to watch a few Stacy eps right now. But no. So much work. Gahh. I guess I don't have to do french...precalc during lunch...no english or chem...but I have to do history tonight because my notecards were due two days ago and he's on the other side of my study hall so I have to give them to him during A block. As opposed to...doing them during A block.
Okay, I'm working on it. Shut up. An entire movie went by and I only finished 7. I suck.
Although, let me just say this. In & Out is awesome. Ray Finkle's mom (I've seen Ace Ventura about a million times since birth, so I apologize for that) goes "I hope that Sally Field wins!" and someone is like "...but she wasn't nominated" and then she says "even so!" lmao, I love her. And I watched The First Wives Club the other night and...today, and...oh my god. Musical number. Life. Owned. I've watched it like a million times and I've been humming the song constantly. Well, that and the Sanford and Son theme song (tragically).
