Okay, I have chocolate (thanks to B) and fresh iced tea and menthol cloves because I randomly found them at the gas station Friday, for the first time in almost a year. (I don't smoke regularly, but menthol cloves are my weakness. And now everyone who's reading the marching band au is smirking at me knowingly.) On the way home from a late day at work, I was flipping stations and caught "Born This Way" on the radio. (Still not a fan of the faily lyrics.)

Let's do this.

Sporadic, exhausted commentary, but I think I liked more than I didn't. (What I didn't like, though, caused great rage. GREAT RAGE.)

Okay, here we go. I know a lot of people are really feeling happy about this episode and do not want to be brought down. You should probably not read this, then. There's some positive, but quite a bit of negative, too.

ExpandSpoilers )

I am actually ridiculously glad for a hiatus. UGH.

One thing about Pretty Little Liars, though! That this made me think about, because I watched PLL last night.

(1) Exhaustion!brain so much that right before I woke up for work, I dreamed I hooked up with Sam at a party. Yeah, of all the Glee hook-up dreams I could have, Sam is my first? Really, brain? REALLY?

Pretty good kisser, though. And actually, after watching the episode, I'd hit that.

I'm seeing a lot of Glee responses that boil down to totally support Kurt and his dad. I would like people to read this, because it says what I feel way better than I could have said it: In Which I Rant About Power, Individuality, and a Teen TV Show.

For some reason, today I decided I needed to watch the baseball scene from Twilight a couple times. I don't know why! This is like a sickness.

I have thoughts. Again. Many the same thoughts I had the first time I saw it, but I am going to share them again.

Basically, I am left with this. Writing queer, kinky, sexually explicit stories in this fandom shouldn't feel as good as it does, considering how much I hate the source material.

Also? Carlisle's Kinky Vampire House o' Love is probably my favorite thing I've come up with this month. Maybe this year. <3

Except for some of the songs (and I do mean only some of them), I'm straining to find anything likeable about this show. The ableism is really, really bad (from grabbing the wheelchair to not including the wheelchair in the dances in any real way to all the ableist language). None of the characters of color, especially the girls, get much time at all. Just about everyone is an asshole. Evil cheerleaders.

I know people love this show. They love it. I'm trying to find the good stuff, I am, but the stuff that angers me overshadows everything else, I guess.

And Mercedes. Oh, Mercedes.

I finally figured out a way to finish watching the last season of Supernatural, which was to multitask like crazy during the Castiel scenes. I want to get to this season. Maybe my anger at season three has finally faded enough to enjoy it again. (That's really a huge part of why I don't like season four, I think, because season three made me so mad with the misogyny and the racism. Plus I find Castiel boring. So maybe I can get to season five. Maybe.)

I'm going to figure out dinner now, though I've moved on to "Preggers".

Oh, wait, one more thing.

ETA: No, wait, I'm back.

ETA: Finally, something I actually really loved.

I haven't talked about Supernatural much lately, mostly because I'm basically not watching this season. It's sitting on my dvr, but I'm so frustrated by season three that I just can't watch it yet. I've not rewatched seasons one or two, either, and in fact I loaned season one to [livejournal.com profile] nikitangel months ago and haven't bothered to get it back.

But I still have thoughts and issues with it, and my buttons are being pushed by the fact that GLAAD nominated "Ghostfacers" for Outstanding Individual Episode (in a series without a regular LGBT character). GLAAD, you know, Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, nominated "GHOSTFACERS" for its portrayal of a gay character. (Hat tip to [livejournal.com profile] coffeeandink for the link.)

I have some issues with GLAAD anyway (for one thing, while I realize the awkwardness of GLBTQAAD or other variations, G&L doesn't actually include all that many potential members of the alliance. (I'm also not fond of "defamation" aligned with these awards, but that's a different conversation.)

I mean, the award tagline is this: 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. Fair. Accurate. Inclusive. And Impossibly Glam.

I'd like to know why they nominated "Ghostfacers" because the episode I saw was really none of those things. And GF is one of my favorite episodes of season three (which is saying something).

If you haven't seen the episode, summary below.

Expandspoilers )

I call FAIL.

(I'd like to know why they nominated this episode, but I'd also like to know why Bones was ignored, based on the standard I can infer from this nomination.)
