[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Hey. New board.

To me, "meh" means "didn't like." I mean, you didn't like it, right? You maybe didn't actively dislike it, which implies it annoyed you somehow or made you feel like you wasted your time, but you still would not say "I liked that movie."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm still waiting for Instant Message to finish up the trilogy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG <3

to me, "meh" is accompanied by a shrug, as in, I don't really care.

So, earlier today, I finally finished aheming The Inside, after nearly a month of ahemage, only to discover that all of the aired episodes appear to have been recorded from someone's HD tv and the translation to .avi format seems to have transformed them into blocky pixellized cubist hash. The unaired eps seem fine.

This is irking on a level that is difficult to express without resorting to Brobdingnagian levels of profanity.

Apocolypse Now. Broccoli.

This is the way I rate books... except I think I call them spinach books. Don't get me wrong I LIKE spinach, but sometimes I just don't want a book that is Good For Me. Sometimes I want a French Fry book or a Pop Tart book. But I can guarentee I never want a Liver and Onions book.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I like liver and onions too. Which books are liver & onions, Kat?

Moby Dick is Liver and Onions.

Though in all honesty, it's more a categorizing I use when I used to sit on a committee that did nominations for prizes in Childrens and Young Adult literature. My committee nominated then kids voted. And it used to irk me to no end that some of the adults consistently chose spinach books. In reality, if this is a kids' prize, and it was, it was more important to me to choose books that kids were actually reading and enjoying, not books that moved me as an adult or made me cry.

I haven't read Moby Dick. Is Treasure Island close?
