HI LJ!!!!! I know I haven't been around much, and I apologize without explanation because this is a public post and because the explanation is really boring (basically: I have been busy). But my nice, leisurely spring break is almost over and this felt like the time to dump a mountain of thoughts on bad television writing to you. So.

Comments

that's funny, because yesterday i woke up to finding out someone had relayed private information from my journal to their friend for a good laugh! how weirdly coincidental!

[elapses]

wow, were you just sitting around in the wings waiting for a public fight? i don't even know what you're talking about.

[veils]

oh, nothing, definitely not anything you said to a person about some private writing in a private entry which they then posted about in a public entry. who would care about that??? it's not like it's a betrayal of trust or anything!

[elapses]

okay tbh i didn't realize that post she made was public until just now, but it was just a dumb poem, sam. you don't even know what i said to her. you could have asked me about it instead of flipping out. are you seriously going to throw away five years of friendship so you can act passive-aggressive and wounded?

EXCELLENT APRIL FOOL'S JOKE, this is one of the first ones I've seen in a long time that is believable but not flat-out mean, so well done, truly.

Also, seriously, 30 Rock, I almost cannot do it anymore and I've been sitting over here wondering if other people agree or if I'm totally alone, because Kristin Schaal irritates me in general but I feel like most other people enjoy her? But for god's sake, it's painful how unfunny Hazel is and how much it doesn't work with the rest of the show - I can appreciate what they're trying to do, change things up with Kenneth (mostly because Kenneth had gotten sort of annoying to me too, it was just so much of the same all the time with him in a way that got old whereas it didn't with the other characters) but Hazel is not the solution.

THANK YOU!! It was fun, even though it was nothing compared to Chrome adblock's cat's, o m g THING OF BEAUTY.

Yeah, I'm seriously thinking about quitting which is SO SAD because I love like, 90% of the show -- but she's that awful. It didn't even occur to me that people might actually find her enjoyable until Matthew Perpetua tweeted something about how amazing she was, I FELT LIKE I WAS IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE. WE CAN'T BE THE ONLY TWO, MOLLY, WE JUST CAN'T!!!

Haha nice. I felt awkward when there were only 4 comments, but I realized it must be fake when I came back and saw you two had gone back and forth for like 20 more comments. Honestly, though, I was inclined to believe it at first because it actually happened to me a few years ago with someone I really cared about.

BUT ANYWAY, YES, SMASH IS SUCH A TERRIBLE SHOW. WTF HAPPENED?

[elapses]

People do do shitty things on the internet!! Sorry it had to really happen to you. But yeah, I feel like the whole thing got progressively more ridiculous as we went on.

I DON'T KNOW! It's not even the kind of terrible where I sit there wishing I could edit it -- keep this, slice that, fix it all up -- it's just plain shitty. There's like one redeemable scene per episode. IT'S GLEE: ACT 2

[elapses]
