Mark won’t let me have more power tools, which is why I don’t have an Enterprise coffee table.  Harumph.

2CELLOS (Sulic & Hauser) - Smooth Criminal (by 2CellosVEVO)

I love these guys. Glad Glee gave them some exposure (you know, other than the millions of YouTube hits).

Cellos are cool.

Strange how he gave himself the perfect eulogy.

Cancer awareness is great, and all, but if you don’t have anyone you can afford to go to for testing and treatment, NONE OF THAT CRAP MATTERS.

We’re kind of reeling,” said Patrick Hurd, who is CEO of Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Virginia — recipient of a 2010 grant from Komen — and whose wife, Betsi, is a veteran of several Komen fundraising races and is currently battling breast cancer.
“It sounds almost trite, going through this with Betsi, but cancer doesn’t care if you’re pro-choice, anti-choice, progressive, conservative,” Hurd said. “Victims of cancer could care less about people’s politics.

Keep your Boehner out of my Uterus!: Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation ends partnership with Planned Parenthood due to pressure from Anti-Choice groups  

He’s right, cancer doesn’t care what your politics are. Know who the single largest provider of preventative services, including pap smears and mammograms is? Planned Parenthood. So, by ending their affiliation with PP, the Komen foundation is saying that people who DON’T care that cancer affects millions of un- or under-insured women (and men) every year, matter more than the people who get and have cancer. Stay classy, folks, stay classy.

I wonder how Susan Komen would feel about this.

I get maudlin after midnight

It’s when I remember that I hate my life, my job is meaningless, and I can’t have children. I’m in a particularly bad depression cycle right now, so I’m expecting two hours of anxiety attacks before I get to sleep tonight.

I can’t decide if I hope other people are miserable like me, or happy so at least someone is.

To protest a bill that would require women to undergo an ultrasound before having an abortion, Virginia State Sen. Janet Howell (D-Fairfax) on Monday attached an amendment that would require men to have a rectal exam and a cardiac stress test before obtaining a prescription for erectile dysfunction medication.

…OH, HI, BRITISH ROMANTICISM PROFESSOR THAT I UNFORTUNATELY NEVER SEE ANYMORE.
My friend Amber and I totally didn’t spy on him the other day either.

Sadly, my British romantics professor that could read Chaucer beautifully in Middle English was a middle-aged married woman. Still considered illicit affair. It was that awesome.

So, I was thinking about BBC Sherlock fandom’s hate-on for Sally Donovan, and just earlier today I was talking with Maria about Tara Thorton’s shitty treatment in True Blood.

And then I made myself a list.

You’re not fooling anyone, fandom. I know what’s up.

I can’t speak for fandom as a while, but I’ll try to explain my like/dislike for some of those characters.  First of all, I don’t like Sally Donovan because she’s a narrow minded bitch on Sherlock.  But I’m pretty sure that her character is supposed to be unlikeable, so I don’t feel bad disliking her.  And I don’t like Guin in Merlin because I never liked the Guineviere/Lancelot/Arthur triangle, and I just can’t separate many long years of dislike from the retelling (even knowing that her character is different than the usual).

On the other hand, I LOVE Tara on True Blood. In the books, she’s only barely a character, and it was great that the writers gave her something more to do than sell Sookie clothes (even though most of her plot lines revolve around her character getting screwed over). I like that she’s strong, and cranky, and real. And I love Freema in everything she does.  She is one of my favorite companions.

I don’t know who doesn’t like Mercedes. I will say, though, that her character doesn’t get enough plot love, but in an ensemble cast that big, that’s true for nearly ALL the best characters on Glee.

And sadly, I don’t know who any of the rest of those girls are (although 8 and 9 look familiar). But my point is, sometimes fans don’t like characters for valid reasons, not race-related ones.
