I think my feelings on TV holiday specials are well-stated. (My mood theme on LJ? EXHIBIT A.) I love them. I love the themes Christmas episodes tend to have, and how they tend to be relationship-based rather than plot-based and how generally they're warm and happy-inducing.

There have been a lot of cultural-appropriation wanks over the past few years. In fact, there have been a bunch in the last few weeks, and one egregious one in the last few DAYS. I've generally picked up on the fail pretty quickly, and while I'm not a big voice in the discussions- I'll signal boost, but generally I try to listen- I've been ( Read more... )

Could allergies be exacerbating my jaw clenching? Or are they probably just giving me a bad headache as a starting point, making the headache from jaw issues that much worse?

In either case, I hate everything. POLLEN >:(

I slept for like twelve hours, and it was wonderful, and then I woke up and people on LJ are still wanking and PEOPLE. God. This is not the atmosphere I meant to debut my new BMC icon in ( Read more... )

I wish all commentary was as awesome as the commentary on reality shows.

Survivor: Vanuatu commentary. You guys. First episode? Commentary was Ami, Chad, Eliza, and Julie.

Yes. Yes. The hot lesbian, the guy with the artificial foot, the girl everyone thought was the bitch, and Mrs. Probst.

I know. I know.
