Musings

Jason Castro reminds me of a long lost Hanson brother raised by Rastafarians.

Rastafarian is a fun word.

Random strange guys who call me "sweetheart" as they pass me on the sidewalk do not flatter me or make me feel good about myself. They just make me feel...ick. Really, ick. It's right up there with the twits who command me to smile. It's demeaning, belittling, irritating, and not to mention incredibly presumptuous. If you're a guy who does this? I don't know a single woman who likes or appreciates this sort of thing. So knock it off.

I'm willing to give the guy from this morning the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't shooting for any of the above. But I figure they're never shooting for any of the above. Nevertheless, this is how it's usually received. So again, just stop it.

Drivers in Tulsa are just friggin' insane. Myself excluded, natch.

But seriously, I was recently given the bird AGAIN for no discernible reason whatsoever, other than perhaps that I signaled to change lanes. And that's exactly what's wrong with drivers in this town. DRIVERS OF TULSA: You are SUPPOSED TO SIGNAL. Signaling is NOT an ACT OF AGGRESSION. It's a polite notice of intent. Signals are for OTHER DRIVERS' BENEFIT, not for your own, except in that warning people that you're about to slow down to turn or get in front of them is a good way to prevent yourself from getting rear-ended.

Um, wow. Wing, Glark & Sars are leaving TWoP. I've had my issues with those guys over the years, but that site also was the foundation upon which my crazed Buffy obsession was built (when it was still Mighty Big TV), and the forums served as a springboard for some fun, if fleeting, friendships. I know the site itself isn't going anywhere, but it just won't seem the same without them. It's definitely the end of an era.

Dear Supernatural:

I love you. I think you're awesome. Such is your charm that by the end of your first season I managed to make myself forget and forgive that you do absolutely no research whatsoever into anything at all, ever, and pretty much pull everything out of your collective butt, particularly when it comes to settings. I mean, you took Amber Benson and made her into a hot vampire, and she's not the first former Buffy-verse actress you've given work to, so that right there gives you enormous credit in my book. Plus, y'know, Jensen. But when you try to make Vancouver pass for Oklahoma? Any part of Oklahoma, which is actually a pretty geographically diverse state, but still, totally not Canada? It just doesn't work. Especially when you stick a huge effing gorge in the middle of a town that's flat as a pancake and has no waterways. Please stop it. You're seriously interfering with my suspension of disbelief.

But not with the love. That is yours indefinitely.

Love,
Okie Jean
