Glee FAIL

I’ve been a bit lukewarm on the series since it resumed this fall and I’ve got to say that the First Time episode is chock full of What The MEH.

One. I am grossed out by the “girls have to want to have sex because it’s LURRRVE” rather than, yanno, to just FUCK. I would be less annoyed by this if it weren’t completely within Rachel Berry’s wheelhouse to be checking this off her To Do list but since she IS that girl, why can’t they let her BE that girl. Also? I NEVER met a dude who gave a DAMN why I wanted to have sex, he was on board from GO. So really, the character of Finn continues to be sixteen kinds of bullshit. Grr.

Sadly this has gone from a show that I really enjoyed watching to a show I find cumulatively more annoying, so it may be off my DVR list. Whatevs. More time for Gemma Teller.

Edited for OMFG YOU MUST BE KIDDING. “Losing something you can’t get back.” As though a FLAP OF SKIN decides your PERSONHOOD. WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK. I am done with this show. Between this and making the evil asshole the only person besides Kurt to be a ‘sympathetic’ atheist, I’m just…I can’t… I don’t even know. Ridiculous.

THAT was unexpected

Today at work was shittier than usual, mostly due to a large number of incompetent people whose shortcomings all bumped up against each other TODAY and caused ME to do more work. When I came home I checked the mail, as per usual, and found a couple of envelopes. One was complete junk and the other was a check from a class action suit that I was opted into.

WHAT?!

I know, right? When you get those pieces of mail you always think they’re bullshit but apparently the system occasionally works. It’s not a huge payday but there is a very sweet, incredibly inexpensive little netbook in my future thanks to the check and the clearance shelves at Target. w00t!

Thanks to the boys at the 404 podcast, I’m re-evaluating my mistrust of Chrome. The latest release didn’t wow me as it didn’t have a lot of the extensions I’ve grown to love in Firefox but the speed is gradually winning me over. In addition, they HAVE added some more extensions that increase the functionality for me. If only I could get the GD import and sync features to work…

In unrelated news, I thought the Glee finale was maybe the worst episode of the season. Am I the only one?

Because atheism is SO CRAZY

This week’s Glee narrowly avoided getting it banned. By all means, all the characters should mock or try to dissuade the folk who don’t agree with them. Because it’s SO CHRISTIAN to be intolerant.

I was actually excited when Kurt said he didn’t believe in god because I thought “Whoa! We’re going to have THIS conversation!” Despite Glee fumbling some other storylines (or at least choking a bit) I was pretty hopeful that it might turn out to be good or even great. Sigh.

I’m glad Kurt got to stick to his guns, it’s just too bad it took a full episode of all his peers telling him that he couldn’t possibly be right and that life is too hard not to have god. Also, the only person who agrees with him is THE BAD GUY. Fuck you, Glee writers.

Luckily Kurt can look forward to many, many, many more years of the same treatment since the only religion REALLY tolerated in the US is Christianity. Not that I’m bitter.
