Okay, I give. Am I, like, bad at being a woman because I didn't give a damn about the Open Source Boobs and I give even less of a damn about the fact that Dean Winchester and Supernatural apparently hate my mom? Because I just - I don't understand. At all. I'm not being facetious, or snarky, or anything like that. I am just completely unmoved and I can't seem to, uh, move myself. I just don't GET it. And I'm afraid to ask, because then people might answer I feel silly. I must be missing some kind of vital social cue here, which I am more less used to, but it never gets less awkward.

(I don't count not being offended by the rampant misogyny in Ghost, because if I started being offended by Ghost I would never stop. Right now I'm more concerned with whether the second part - it's split into three parts - is ever going to develop a plot, or if the inexplicable jumpcuts between fishing and bondage porn is pretty much it. I don't have very high hopes.)

(Edited five minutes and three pages later because WE HAVE ACHIEVED PLOT. Thank fuck. It promises to be stupid plot, but that's not a change. I miss the madcap wackiness of part one and its bin Laden-beheading ways.)

OMG YES.

Steven Moffat to be new Doctor Who showrunner for series five!

I am SO excited. This is the best ever. I love Steven Moffat. I loved Coupling back in the day, and of course I love the episodes of DW he's done. He is awesome. The show is going to be amazing under his reign. It'll be like, "RTD who?" (Note: any potential pun on show title not intended.)

In other news, I did indeed make it to Borders over the weekend and pick up the first two books of the OH JOHN RINGO NO series, because I couldn't resist an entertainment-related trainwreck if you paid me. I'm about halfway through Ghost, and I wanted to post my thoughts on WHAT IN THE LIVING FUCK AM I READING?!, but there are two problems with this.

A: John Ringo's primary "defense" for Ghost runs along the lines of, "The entire thing is stupid shit! Why are you fixating on that little stupid detail when there are twenty even stupider things you could bitch about?" (My words, not his, but I kind of love him for expressing the sentiment. Dude knows this book sucks.) And he is not wrong. Every time I want to have one little thought about this book, twenty other stupid things come charging into my brain and leave me going, ". . . wait oh my god what?" So this is going to require an essay.

B: I do not have the energy for an essay tonight, because I had insomnia and slept for like two hours and then worked nine. I am so tired I am physically ill and my body hates me for continuing to type.

And I should probably finish it first, anyway. I make no promises, but I will probably have to do some brain vomiting at some point to clear this insanity out of my head, and isn't that was LJ is for?

Before I go off to work:

I'm know I'm like a month and a half late on this, but I just found it a couple of days ago and it won't leave my brain alone, so I am going to let you all share in the lolarious torment.

In which books can be bad for you too, or, OH JOHN RINGO NO.

This particular thread contains the author's reaction to having his books ripped apart (it's okay, he's totally cool with it), but go ahead and read all the comments. Some of them are really damn funny.

And of course now I have to read these books. Damn my Trainwreck Syndrome.
