Stereotypically Defiant

Everybody Does Not Love Raymond. and blah blah

I won't go into the Slate Article We've all Read By Now. I can't be an academician right now. I can only feel human.

I hate Raymond. I hate everything about that show. I hate how absolutely worthless Ray as a character is. He's a whiny, gutless mama's boy who is "emasculated" by everyone around him: his misanthrope father, his wacked-out passive-aggressive mother, his brother who defies explanation, and the harridan known as his wife. Why does it feel like she's always about to haul off and clock him? She's shrill, she yells, she's a stay-at-home mom to look up to.

WHY is this show still on? WHY? WHY WHY WHY WHY? God, WHY? It's sick to me. Maybe because my family life ain't so grand. Maybe b/c of the therapy, I dunno. Wait, back up. Family, that's it. As someone who's working pretty damn hard to unscrew herself up, I can't watch that many rude, obnoxious people in denial, and folks making kajillions off of it. Just help me understand.

Seriously, it's a piece of crap.

Now Alias is some classy tv, and I, too, will be lining up to drool over Jennifer Garner in Electra. I love women who do violence upon bad men. Always have. When i was little, I used to watch the Saturday Kung Fu movies, just waiting to see girls fight men and sometimes win! Hell, let's keep it real. I like to see women beat up men. La Femme Nikita: loved it until the end when she started crying and getting all emotional. And it's not about women poisoning men, or getting lovers to kill men off, it's women kicking butt. I don't bother covering this in therapy, b/c I like being this way currently.

Here's my fluff moment for the week of January 5-12:

Rick Yune was so haaaaaaaaut on the season premiere last week. Hot. Hot as in, I would consider allowing myself to be impregnated by said Rick. Mmmm, Yune. Lexi Yune. Why'd he go and die?

Great. Neighbors having sex for the third time today. And it's not even that I want some. Do I? Have to think about it. So messy and yucky, and men talk during it, which totally ruins it, cuz you're definitely not my daddy, sicko, and "it" ain't yours. So, no, no sex. Just, so loud and so choreographed. Maybe I'm twisted, but I can tell by the springs that old boy has a few choice moves, which will take them about 10-15 minutes. maybe they start on other furniture so i can't hear them. But by the time they make it to the bed, which shares my damned wall, it's squeaking and moaning and various elbows and knees hitting the wall. He has a home. Why don't they go to his place? maybe I am a hater. Oh well.

Uh oh, think I'm tanked up on caffeine again, had 20 oz of Coke today, when I'd quit cold turkey before Xmas. Then some iced tea. And chocolate cake. And pizza. Not good.

Whizzing onto the next topic: Guilty Pleasure Meme or Confessional Meme. Yeah, pretty much the same thing. So here we go:

CD I have in my car that I roll up the windows to listen to
Kenny Rogers, Love Songs. So?!

Book I read flat so no one could see the title
The Lemony Snicket series. It's literature, dammit.

Crappiest song ever sung at karaoke
"Private Dancer"

Bad movie I watch repeatedly
Pretty in Pink. I cry at the prom scene EVERY time.

Article of clothing I love though I know it's wrong
My teal Mandarin dress. I looked damn good in it. Even the ex was drooling in front of his future wife.

What I order at the bar when no one is listening
Belvedere and Sprite.

Fast food item I adore
Fried chicken, red beans and rice and a biscuit from Popeye's. Mmm. Popeye's.

A TV show that is a good example of the downfall of civilization that I love anyway
Vegas, has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, but everyone is beautiful and spending money and the sistah is British. And I've always loved Vanessa and Nikki.

So there you have it.

I think I'm through for a while. The KKK in MO is putting their Adopt-A-Highway signs back up, and I say good. Freedom of speech, and all that. But what makes me want to regress is when the national spokesperson from the KKK goes on the radio and denies his organization has a history of violence. I keep looking for the link, but I can't find it. Trust me. He said it. He said other people might have taken the mantle of the KKK, but they're a peaceloving group who are just Christians. And "Racialists," WTH ever that means.

Pax!
