need new fandoms and mini-rant on the obsession with perfection

[escritoireazul]

I feel I'm missing out on a lot of fandom stuff because I don't watch Veronica Mars or Battlestar Galactica or some other shows I've now forgotten the names of, specifically almost everything in Sci-Fi Friday. So if anyone wants to explain them to me, or pimp them, or help me get caught up, or at least interested, I'd really appreciate it. For some reason, I'm having the hardest time getting started, especially in BSG and the other one I can't think of right now.

Also, I need new shows to watch this fall. I think I'm going to try Bones, not because I'm a big David B. fan, but because thestalkycop has taken to call me Bones, and her Bones II, and I enjoy it a lot. We write silly letters to each other, and act all upper class gentlemen. We are odd, yes, I know.

I was going to gush about the Florida trip, but then J. sent me the link and started a mini-rant.

On something non-fandom and truly horrible, this is fucking disgusting (at least most of it), this push for plastic surgery on your vagina. Oh my god so much bullshit. Yeah, ok, I can see maybe some health reasons for doing it, and they do mention one or two, but the majority of the article is about appearances and making women want to be a perfect ten, and how men compare their girlfriends/wives to porn stars and the women fell short and now want to be better and let me just say now the first person who compares me to a porn star and I fall short is right out the fucking window. This whole obsession with scultping your body to look exactly like the mainstream idea of perfection is ridiculous and makes me sick.

I already had a sinus headache. Now I'm just pissed, on top of it. I'm going to watch Jurassic Park III and try to forget about the stupidity of the world.

ETA And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when I take one pain pill. Not the recommended dose of two every four hours, but one for the whole day. Over the counter meds, too, not anything strong. I apparently need new shoes to watch this fall. (Though, actually, I do need new shoes, trainers and plain solid black walking shoes.) Thanks das_hydra for pointing it out!

I just wanted to ask... you need new "shoes" or new "shows" to watch for the fall...

Ha! Thanks! (Though technically, I need both. I watch my shoes when they are new, because they are so shiny and pretty. I've almost worn out my trainers and will probably get new ones before I go to Florida. Have you seen those Curves shoes? Someone at the gym has them and I roll my eyes with the cheese of that. However, I do wonder if they are good shoes.)

I actually haven't seen Curves shoes, but I can imagine the cheese!

Isn't it sort of dangerous to muddle about down there? I mean, not only is peeing post-op going to hurt like hell, but what if it gets all infected. Eurgh.
