Gina, get ta steppin'!

The Evening News, January 1st, 1990 - December 31st, 1999.

Try using a speculum.

Oh no, of course not.

Um, it's a very good book, especially for its clever use of an unreliable narrator in Scout, but there are so many ethical and practical problems with its politics that I can't call it a truly great book. It's people's misreading of it that has elevated it to such an impossibly, absurdly high position in our culture.…

You've gone Deep Depp.

Aw, just admit it. You hope Johnny Depp visits you even if you don't get cancer. Hmmph.

What?! No, no, you've obviously been listening to your ABBA records too loudly. Hmmph.

There's nothing more odd to a kid—or me—than an impostor character making a public appearance. If it's not the actual real Elmo or Spiderman or Jack Sparrow it's just such a profoundly disturbing, depressing experience. The impostor never speaks or moves or even smells the same as the real deal; it's just so goddamn…

Maybe the editors were WRONG to reject that first draft, or at least to reject the story as she initially conceived it? Maybe they were very misguided for advising her to focus on the childhood years and forget the adult years?

That's pretty much how I interpreted her decision, as a potent and irrefutable means to correct all the passionately mistaken fans of Atticus who insist on erecting monuments to him for his unequaled efforts in the field of racial equality and justice and harmony, etc, etc… Too many people have so thoroughly misread…

Specifically:

I always knew it was bullshit, totally contrived and edited and fabricated, but still, I was curious about Bruce's relationship with the girls because he's so completely different, and his entire life experience is so drastically alien from theirs because he actually achieved something impressive, whereas they are…

"…dampens Bruce’s cultural tone deafness…"

Bloated, aging Val Kilmer should be inserted into the mix of attractive young single people, with no explanation and without acknowledgment from any of the bachelors or bachelorettes, just to see if the brain dead zombie audience notices.

SOME women may possibly love misogyny, but I doubt it. For some women an abusive relationship with a man may be how she externalizes her own insecurities and may be an expression of low self esteem. Some women are unwittingly replicating the relationship dynamic which she's witnessed at home with her own parents, or…

I read that as "quickly ejaculates."

I was conceived during my mom and dad's adulterous affair. They were both married to different people at the time and so he wasn't a bachelor and she wasn't a bachlorette. They were filthy whores, the two of 'em. Hmmph.

I was watching the various Kardashian shows because it was a lighthearted meaningless, empty headed guilty pleasure, and then all of a sudden it got real. Damn real.

Eternal Pits of Hell - Thursday nights on NBC. Hmmph.
