• 23:02 totally started crying in the middle of recording. luckily, it was in the midst of dialog, and i think it's actually effective? #
• 23:04 feel like i'm cornering the market on superdepressing epics. and, you know, very short absurdist crossovers. #

summary of what's under the tag, in really vague terms: it isn't even the misogyny that bothers me the most anymore. what bothers me is my steadily strengthening impression that the creators of the show/movie/whatever expect to be congratulated for it. authorial perceptions vs my perceptions of what's happening there: poles apart.


( vague text leading to spoilers for dark knight, dr horrible, btvs, serenity, the matrix, etc. )

in conclusion: yeah, whatever.

earlier, a conversation with chr0me_kitten.


chr0me: are you the friend i was talking to who has never seen any of the terminator movies?
me: ...
chr0me: ...
me: time. traveling. robots.
chr0me: never mind.

so yesterday was the shittiest day i have had in a long, long, long time. like, not i-totally-had-a-meltdown shitty, which is actually a lot less pleasant, but like quantifiably full of really inarguably shitty happenings.

but today has been okay thus far, seeing how i went to see the dark knight at midnight, and it was 17 hours long and seemingly three movies stitched together, one after the other, in a positive way, as it offered good value for money. i enjoyed it (well, except for a thing and another thing, neither of which were, sadly, unexpected). i was totally unspoiled! i hadn't even seen the trailer! that was super.

okay, there has been a negative in my day so far - there was a trailer shown beforehand for some movie that made me really upset. like it had all of the things i don't want in entertainment. so there i was, all emotionally overwrought and mortified on behalf of the characters in the trailer for...wait for it...the disney movie. about the dog. i almost cried (not in the good way). clearly i lose at unfiltered access to entertainment. and possibly proportion.

okay, the alarm is going to go off in two hours and ten minutes, so it might be bedtime.

wow. so you know what's awesome? random potato flour in donuts. /cries over numb hands and feet, and cold sweats, and aches, and nausea.

i guess i should have read the ingredients, but i knew they were vegetarian, i didn't really think i needed to examine them that closely otherwise.

okay. back to the j sheppard mines.

damn it.

okay, anyone who actually knows me well knows that i compulsively delete files. yeah. i can't make myself throw away physical things, but i can't manage to keep data. i don't know what the hell is wrong with me.

anyway, i had all of sg:a s4, and i was being really good about keeping it, because i actually need to reference several episodes, but then about 10 days ago i decided it was making me crazy to have them because they were...clutter? or something? i don't know. i didn't need the drive space even a little bit.

so do i need to dl travelers again, or can some kind soul answer this question: the radios the traveler guys have - are they wrist radios, or handsets kept on a belt? or something else? did we ever see larrin use hers?
