Welcome to Tuesday. Up at an incredibly non-Korean hour. For all the blah-blah about how hard working asians are, they don’t do much in the morning. The local department store doesn’t even open till 1030 am. This goes directly against my philosophy of getting everything done before noon and coasting all afternoon.
Ah, I love you www.alternet.org/ One of those interesting, “everything sucks”, news portals that I can’t seem to tear myself away from. Not as good as www.theexiled.com/ As much as I like to read about this stuff, I’d be remiss not to mention how much I fucking loath “poli-talk”. My co-worker is a major poli-talker. I blame Yahoo!
Damn you, culturebook! I was perfectly content not blogging…
Something funny… got it. Potentially only funny if you know me. Just finished seasons 3-6 of The L Word. My conjegus monogemus gets a kick out of this. For all intensive purposes, I’m a straight-white-American-blue eyed-big nosed-swinging dick that has no real business delving into the pseudo realities of lesbian life in LA, but there’s no Lakers references so I can hang.
What I’ve learned about lesbians from The L Word:
Preface: If you are a lesbian, this will likely offend you. Sorry sista.
#1- SLUTS! Filthy, filthy sluts, one and all!
#2- Lesbians spend an incredible amount of time making out/finger banging.
#3- Young lesbians or MILFish lesbians can get it on in the buff, however older lez girls must roll around in the hay wearing the western equivalent to a burka. (Ageism is alive and well. But fuck you baby boomers. Retire already, before we have to go all Soylent Green on your entitled asses.)
#4- Gay men won’t raise a baby after impregnating a transitioning f2m man. Where’s the honor?
#5- If you are a f2m transitioning transexual and your baby’s daddy takes off, all you need to do is shave your beard down to a Prefontaine ‘stache. Problem solved!
Now I have no problem with homo/bi/hetero/prefix-sexuals what so ever. I do think this show could have done a lot more than digress into Dallas, as far as being received by a larger audience. Seems like every episode had a mandatory 15 minutes of girl on girl to placate the studios insecurity about it being unmarketable with a larger audience. None of the characters were really admirable, but it’s showbiz I reckon.

I just read this and the other blogs that I just commented on. This was a year ago? I got a name drop. This has been good morning a year later. I’ve never seen the L show, seen the billboards for it in my neighborhood — Westside, but like most TV, it looked like a waste of time.
My new faves for TV are Freaks and Geeks (I don’t think I would’ve liked it as much 10 years ago) and Party Down.
I liked your comment about the Simpsons about how it was better before, only because it was geared towards US before and not anymore, US being a generational thing. “Supernintendo Chalmers” doesn’t make any sense to the new generations cuz nintendo is a thing of the past.
