Hello, you are a whiner

[cleolinda]

Okay, I have a completely random, wank thought-provoking question to ask, in terms of random feedback. You know, the kind of feedback that you get after something's finished, not when you're actually still in revision mode. Actually, let me back up and ask a preliminary question: those of y'all who write, am I totally crazy for thinking there's a

Oh, man, isn't Celebrity Rehab awesome? I mean, obviously not in an "awesome" way but in that "Hey, I bet this'll scare someone out of doing drugs!" kind of way. Seriously, Jeff Conaway is just completely messed up, and the morbidly hilarious part is that Daniel Baldwin is, like, rehab's dorky overachieving older sister, where everybody else is off having seizures and vomiting and getting caught with meth or whatever and then Daniel Baldwin shows up all, "EXCUSE me, this is not conducive to my sobriety!"

Er, I may have been deprived of constant original programming for too long.

Baldwin is such a smug whiner, I love it. Because he's right, and... STILL. And I would be seriously concerned that Jeff Conaway will not survive the season, except that--isn't it taped in advance? So if he'd died, we would have heard about it, or they would have canceled the show?

It's the law of diminishing returns, so no, you are not weird about thinking 'put a fork in it, it's done'.

That's why they ask how you want your steak - rare, medium, or roof slate - everyone has a different definition of done.

It's your work, you're the be-all/end-all of when it's done. :)

Thanks so much for linking to the Rebellious Jezebels store, which I run. I'm happy to say that knitmeapony, ginamak and I are looking at a nice hefty check for NARAL.

Aww, yay! And thank agentsculder, she's the one who sent me the link. : )

"This sucks" is not criticism, it's someone trying to make themselves feel big via Internet. "This sucks" is what the petulant goth-wanna-be teen mutters to himself in the back of the family truckster when being dragged to Six Flags. "This sucks" applies equally to M15M as it does to entropy as it does to being nailed to a cross. Criticism at least mandates the slightest indication that the respondent has read the material in question. Constructive criticism, even more so. "This sucks" is not worth the time it takes you to read it. That's not irrational, that's just practical conduct in the Internet age. Not all feedback is created equal.

And if they're going to make another Rambo movie (dude, he couldn't even beat Meet the Spartans, a movie I'd rather be set aflame than sit through -- if they really showed the best bits during the commercials I'd rather wait in the car), they've got to get around to She-Ra. Who do you want in the title role? LiLo? Dakota? Gellar-Prinze

Who do you want in the title role? LiLo? Dakota? Gellar-Prinze?

Oh God, none of the above. Maybe someone semi-unknown?

"If Dr. Drew and Dr. Phil shook hands, would they cancel each other out in a burst of energy?"

Now I totally want to see one of them guest on the other's show and see how awkward it gets. That would be funny.

That video scared me. The dancing zebras and deer I can live with, but then the bear and the octopus? DO NOT WANT.

Also, it hasn't been officially announced yet (I don't think it has, anyway), but Joseph Gordon-Levitt is on board for G.I. Joe G.I.J.O.E. (they changed it :|), too. I know him, and he says it's not a rumor, he's definitely doing it.

He hasn't said what role, but he did say: "It's also true that the most illustrious of story-tellers throughout the ages, from Homer to Shakespeare to Chaplin would all be mad jealous of my character's costume."

I'm going to reply to this with the source, and I'm going to keep it screened. I love the place so much, I'd appreciate it if you kept it quiet; I don't want in influx of people there trying to meet Joe.

[thansunshine]

Dammit. I is fails and can't screen.

If you want the source, I can get it to you some other way. :|

Hee, awesome. I think LJ has a PM system now?

Ah, I always forget about that.

I'm out right now, but I'll send it along when I get home.
