Whip It & Glee

I saw Whip It last night, which was as enjoyable as advertised and incredibly feminist in a delightful, unprepossessing way.

I also lost my mind at 3 a.m Wednesday morning and watched the pilot of Glee, which I avoided watching because a.) I saw the end of the first episode to try to rec the show to me, and while the scene was great it didn't leave me with any enticement to watch the first forty minutes b.) it seemed so incredibly faddy that I avoided it c.) I am sick of people talking about High School Musical.

However, there is this manic charm to the pilot that could quite easily get addictive (plus I like how on a meta-level this could be the delusions paranoid schizophrenic literature professor Diana Reid feels dirty about) and Emma is the most adorable thing ever.

We're About Due For Another Valentine's Day Massacre

 Oh, Valentine's Day.

As a child, you were an excuse for candy, and I loved you. As a teenager, you were the day when no one gave me a can of orange crush soda. As a college student, Valentine's Day was a day to exchange presents with my mom and make anti-Valentine's day mixes for my BFF, and just in general pamper myself.

Last year and this year, however, have just been rather unfun, for RL reasons I don't want to go into. So, over the last couple of years, 'Oh, Valentine's Day' has become, 'Oh, fucking Valentine's Day.'

Thus, in honor of my mood, it's time for a Break-Up Meme.

Give me a pairing and I'll tell you how they break up.

I was breathlessly laughing through the beginning of this clip. And he's dead-on, too.

May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor

I just finished my long, luxurious reread of The Hunger Games and Catching Fire.

( Thoughts )

On the subject of a movie, I am actually very excited. I would love a bigger fandom, I think my status as someone who got hooked on the books before the third one was released and pimped the hell out of the series would qualify me for Old Fandom Queen status and I would like live action icons NOT based on dream casting.

That said, even though I want her to be write, this article is made of fail. First of all, ( bitch, bitch, bitch )

In news that doesn't raise my blood pressure:


We have a cover and a title for the third and final book. And it's lovely (even if my inner nitpicker is going, 'but mockingjays have a black body).
