i went dog-sitting this weekend and internet use was sporadic at best (by which i mean "from one spot on the bedroom floor where i had to hold my computer on my knees whilst sitting perfectly still") and basically not worth it, so instead i watched my quarterly-required amount of television (this woman had a television. how novel!) and got ( Read more... )

television consumerism, i can't live without rageahol!, hey i'm literate!, what kind of fuckery is this?

will do! i'll bring a sign. it will say "jen sends you her love! and she's NOT WEARING PANTS!" misleading, yes, but talk about an attention-grabber.
i am also going to wear that hoodie i made about a bajillion years ago. with the penguin. i'm sure you know what the penguin is saying :)

hahahaha nice tag!

and yeah, i get that way with tv sometimes. currently i'm on a degrassi kick. i visited my dad like a month ago and they had a degrassi marathon an i put it on for the lolz and got super invested and now i'm on season 4 of my quest to learn every fucked up thing that ever happened to these characters.

and seriously, its a lot of fucked up things.

it's the best! ilu, amy winehouse!

ugh, television. i always feel really debased and embarrassed when i start to care about television. but i feel slightly less bad about my abdc viewing binge, because at least these people are going on camera and being hella talented instead of being useless douchenozzles. degrassi is hypnotic, from what i can tell, though. i refuse to watch it, because i just know i'll start caring about those crazy kids, and i don't need that! it's already claimed my best friend, so i know i'd never be able to resist the lure of pregnant drug-addict teenagers or whatever.

ughhhhhh, i can't even deal with how much rage i am feeling. every single time, i'm like "nah brah, i can handle this. i know shit's fucked" and EVERY SINGLE TIME it's like "OH GOD, THIS IS THE WORST THING EVER! NO, THIS IS! NO, WAIT, THIS IS!!!" and then i want to curl into a ball and weep. and crack some skullz.

yeah at first when i was watching it my boyfriend could stand it and thought it was a decent show. then once every single character had a serious problem (preggoz, drugz, terminal illness, school shootings, nuts, abusive parents, etc) he started to hate it, and naturally i became more enthralled bc just like everyone in america, i eat that shit up. so it's probably best that i don't watch this show house. hahaha. it's funny, i didn't have tv all throughout high school and just recently got cable like 2 years ago, and i never watched it, but now i'm like obsessed with all the bullshit that comes on. id just get rid of it but my boyfriend survives on watching his soccer games and stuff. soooo

not wrong at all, because i had the same reaction when you said you were going on a weakerthans-based adventure to another state. oh man, it's too bad that fell through :( next time, next time...

meanwhile, i have been incubating a secret crush on stephen carroll. secret because a) he is not john k, and no one wants to hear about that, and b) he kind of looks like my ninth-grade history teacher and that is creepy on a lot of levels!

my friend took some pictures because her phone does things like take pictures, while mine doesn't even do things like ring. if she sends them to me, i will send them to you. at one point, guitars were being played atop heads. good times! my only complaint: The Kids Today don't dance at shows anymore. at all. ever. not just if it's bright eyes. i mean ever. we need to go to a show together and show these whippersnappers how it's done!

i haven't seen any of this season's america's best dance crew, but i love the show so much. i'm still mad about the last two seasons though. fanny pak should've won and beat freakz should've won. i kind of think it's a conspiracy. ladies can dance, too, assholes!!!

i don't want to spoil the season for you in case you want to have a giant youtube-based marathon or something, but i can tell you that you'll be very pleased with this one! i was crushed about vogue evolution (i already said it in the actual post, so w/e) but this season was worth watching just for we are heroes, artistry in motion, and afroboriké (they aren't an all-female crew, but they do fuck around with gender roles, especially at the beginning). and massive monkees. yeah, they're another b-boy crew, but i almost wanted them to win anyway because they were so fucking amazing.
