shadowkatShould go to the gym after work today, but it's only 2:30 and I feel draggy.
Busy but draggy. Maybe tomorrow? Did manage to get to the gym twice last week, be curious to see if can do that again this week...particularly since it will be "colder" as in a 30 degree drop towards end of week. Was 55 degrees yesterday (Farhenheit) and will be 28 degrees by Friday or so I've read. Fun.
Favorite Happy show continues to be Big Bang Theory - which once again had me cackling like a loon last night. It's the only sitch I've found to date, outside of maybe Better Off Ted and Modern Family that is not obsessed with sex.
The funny? A joke about a Wolverine comic, which I'm convinced only a geek or someone who knows guys like this would get.
Only drawback- Big Bang is a bit sexist, but then 90% of the tv shows are.
I can only think of maybe three or four that I don't have to turn off my inner feminist in order to watch. But to be honest, that was true of Star Trek too, well up until Voyager, at any rate. One of the many reasons I preferred Bab5 to DS9.

Date: 2010-01-27 01:15 pm (UTC)I hadn't read it until now, but this so perfectly explains why I found the show unbearable and unwatchable in its first season, but now for some reason see it as incredibly funny...they changed the character of Penny. It is still flawed, but it is as the writer of this article so aptly states much much better. Had the exact same experience this writer had.
By removing the male gaze as a central point, they opened the show up to a wider viewership.
