I am enjoying Ask Metafilter today, though.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
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.
It took me a second to get the Troy to Ithaca one, because where I live (western NY) that wouldn't be that weird.
The Troy to Ithaca one -- just the title alone -- made me laugh and laugh, because I am a huge-ass nerd.
"Feasible hiking alternatives East of Osgiliath?" Hee.
Well, that was the year that the home plate umpire died during the game. And when my co-worker (who was a notorious prankster) told me, I didn't believe him, because it was April 1. Ooops.
This is why mean pranks are the worst! (Although I enjoy a funny email or two.)
I'll just say, thank god that's done and I never have to watch another one ever.
My thoughts exactly!
OK, I can't figure out where on the internet to say this, so I'm going to do it here in white font. It's about The Good Wife and How I Met Your Mother.
Here's what's making me crazy about both of them: The idea that adults never get over Real Love. Of course they do! All the time! The letter from the Good Wife people was like, "they could never just be apart unless he died." Untrue! Actual people can realize they aren't Meant To Be and/or good for each other, and GET OVER IT. Maybe it takes some time, but it definitely can happen! Especially if one of them moves away and the other one recommits to her husband! And HIMYM was ALL ABOUT getting over real love! For years! Which was a good thing! People change! You actually can move on! I realize television isn't real, but I thought that especially the Good Wife is about realistic reactions to things, especially relationships.
Hmph.
Tim Minchin has a great song about that, Jesse- [link]
