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.
Now, here is a thing I hate about April Fools' Day: a friend just posted on FB that she and her on-again, off-again, not-together-for-years, and recently-on-again-again boyfriend got married. She would definitely post something like this as a joke, but then maybe not.
If I don't comment and it's real, I'll feel like a dick. But if I comment and it's a joke, I'll be annoyed as hell. (I feel like if it was real -- if it were me -- I would post something saying "Guys, I know what date it is, but THIS IS REAL, SERIOUSLY.")
Tim Minchin has a great song about everything.
I will have to come back to that.
Steph, I would totally just comment "IS THIS REAL????"
IS THIS FANTASY???
There was a point in Teen Wolf (related to HIMYM and GW) where one of the kids was told "She was your first love, but not your only one. Move on." And I cheered! And the character seemed to take it to heart. But that was kinda undone with the other half's dying in his arms and proclaiming him her only love while her current boyfriend looked on.
So, we're still not free of that there either.
Do authors really need to believe that, why they sell it so hard? Or was it that way for them, and maybe their current SOs should be a bit nervous instead?
My sister just finished half a self-guided Breaking Bad tour of ABQ. I'm trying to explain to her that for all my fangirl status, I haven't gotten on a plane to a different country to do that.
Perhaps I should say yet.
I made the mistake of making low gly lemonade. I doubt it will last until lunch.

I think this is my question. It makes no sense to me!
I quite enjoy The Hoff. Instead of fading away into obscurity, he's riding the irony. Kind of like William Shatner and all the commercials that play off his own cliche.
Jesse did you see NPRs Monkey See blog about TGW? I thought it was interesting and touched on part of what you are talking about.
See, I was just like- couldn't you go on Rte 88-- it isn't that hard!
It shouldn't have been that hard for Odysseus either, right? Just looking at a map, anyway.
In my imagination, upstate New York is full of sirens and Cyclopes and so forth.

Yeah, and it was actually reading her piece on HIMYM that made me have to post -- but not enough to register on the NPR site....
