I'm just glad those ads for the pilot of The New Girl will finally be off my TV screen. I used to like Zooey based on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but this promotional campaign has burned through all my goodwill. And disinterest. And mild dislike. I think I'm in spit-when-I-hear-her-name-mentioned territory now.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And I refuse to believe that she isn't getting laid on a regular basis. Despite her "awkwardness" and glasses, plenty of men would sleep with her.
Eh, I overidentify with the main character WAY too much to comment on this.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
This weekend the Post had summaries - with commentary and ratings - of the new shows. The critic was saying "WTF happened to the women?" - he claimed to be one of the few heterosexual men who don't find Zooey Deschanel adorable. For her show he commented that the average age of the cast is 30, even though they seem to be living as 20-somethings and that she herself is 31 and is being presented as a "girl".

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Really great essay on gaslighting women. [link]
Per usual, don't read the comments section.
If I ever start blogging again in earnest, my blog will be called, "Don't Read the Comments Section."

And it won't have a comments section. Or contact info.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So many new shows with "girl(s)" or "men/man" in the title this year. @@

Plenty of pretty chicks aren't getting laid on a regular basis.
Wrod. Look how cute I am. Nothing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not even awkward!

I can now definitively say that the only way to get laid on a regular basis (as a single person) is to explicitly look for it on a regular basis. I'm sure this is true regardless of what one looks like.
Just for the record.
