Filler Friday - Oh, hell, now what?

Good morning, hostiles. On Wednesday night, I made and ruined one of the recipes scheduled to appear today, much as it says on the comic.

Filler Friday

My hair went through the same straight to frizzy to curly mutation, except I wound up with corkscrews! It happened over the course of puberty, so I'm thinking this is the first outbreak of mutant abilities.

I love the fact that Fox watches Squidbillies. He would.

"I Like You Better When You're Naked" is on my list of songs I'll never grow to dislike. And I must agree, I could never get through Wuthering Heights either. I think I was suppose to read it for school and describe it to the rest of my class, but instead it turned into the first time I ever used sparknotes.com. It's not just that it couldn't keep my focus, but after reading the summary notes, I still couldn't see the appeal. But, heck, it turns out that way for me with a lot of classics.

I went \o/ when I saw "My Girlfriend's Dead" on the song list. I freaking love the Vandals.

Also, ditto on being irked by the existence of Lady Gaga. :/

Wow, so much of Collin's list coincides with stuff that's on mine. Especially Lady Gaga (which is one of the stupidest names for a pop star I've ever heard. I mean, come on, at least give her a stage name that doesn't sound like the queen of Teletubbies.)

Also little yappy dogs and big slobbery dogs (though not as much as the yappers). And Napoleon Dynamite.

And I mostly enjoyed Wuthering Heights but I generally don't go for romantic stuff like that, even if it is a classic. I like Jane Austen better though.

Saw a comment somewhere on Wuthering Heights that, as far as I remember it, seemed rather spot on -- that the problem isn't as much with the book itself as with how people insist that it is a romantic novel rather than a psychological horror story about two emotional sadomasochists who, when they haven't each other around to lash out at, instead turn around and start destroying the people around them. I enjoyed it alright, but the people who honestly think that Heathcliff is a good example of a romantic hero... hmm.

(Hell yeah to Jane Austen being better, though.)

[ginxbloodgood]

Yeah people that think Heathcliff is the perfect man scare me about as much as rabid Twilight fans.

I agree completely! For the love of God I've never understood why people (my 11th grade English teacher among them) insist the story is romantic. It's a horror story complete with a pyschotic, dysfunctional cast.
