orders of business - of things cool and not

[vanitashaze]

Cool.
- The new House episode
- Radiohead concert! I didn't go, but a friend did, and she said it was awesome. (She was under the awning, but apparently many people were not. Sorry, huddled masses. But at least you were there.)
- The fact that at this very moment, I have the mascot of the DC*Rollergirls working on my drains. And I got to talk with him.

Not Cool.
- Earthquakes in China
- How 13's bisexuality is made into a cheap joke. I realize that in House, everything from race to weight to gender is mockable, but lately they seem to be distancing themselves from their Big Massive 13 Reveal Campaign by ignoring the Hutchinson's thing and making fun of her Tarzan streak. Newsflash, House writers: there is more to a person than their sexual identity. Learn it, or Freedom the bisexual guinea pig most of the people on my f-list will bite you.
- This. What the fuck, America? This is not Stalin's Russia.

Don't listen to what they say, kids. The really cool people DON'T VIOLATE HUMAN RIGHTS AND DRUG PEOPLE WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION. Or refuse their psychiatric meds. Or just generally fuck up as much as Homeland Security does.

Wow. That article just... scared the shit out of me. I'm at a loss for words.

I got a bad X-Files flashback to its second episode, with the government wiping people's memories to hide alien technology... Not the same - this is SO much more scary because it's REAL - but I was literally shaking by the time the credits rolled in, and I had the same feeling reading this article. Just... ah.

Forget the dark, water, ghosts, heights, milk. This is what I'm terrified of the most.

TOTALLY SECONDED WITH YOU ON EVERYTHING GIRL. I AM JUST FED UP OF THE MEDIA RIGHT NOW.

I WANTED TO GOOO SOOO BAD TO THE RADIOHEAD CONCERRRTTTT. but i live in Texas, dammit. *sighs*

this week isn't all great in terms of world news, y/n?

Media's... eh. Well, the media's iffy at the best of times, but I think the wrst bit about this week is that the things that inspired the news and such actually happened. Still dying kids trapped under concrete, still racism in W. Va, still raining on Radiohead's parade.

...Euck. It makes me want to go bury my face in a pillow and have a nice, long yell.
