Nine: I think I was in love once.
Ten: Really? What was her name?
Nine: Her name was Rose.
Ten: Doctor, we all love Rose.
Nine: I love Rose because she's fantastic. She always knew just what to say and she made me better.
Ten: Oh, yes! Rose was brilliant. All soft and warm and clever and so very human.
Eleven: I love River!
Nine: ...
Ten: ...
Eleven: I love Clara!
Ten: Doctor, are you just looking at girls in the universe and saying that you love them?
Eleven: I love... fez.
Ten: Do you really love fez, or are you just saying that because you saw it?
Eleven: I - I love fez! I love fez.

I didn’t watch the whole documentary. After a few episodes, it was too painful. I kept wanting to scream at Pam! It took me so long to do so many important things, it’s just hard to accept I spent so many years being less happy than I could have been. Jim was five feet from my desk and it took me four years to get to him. It’d be great if people saw this documentary and learned from my mistakes. Not that I’m a tragic person, I’m really happy now, but it would just make my heart soar if someone out there saw this and she said to herself, “be strong, trust yourself, love yourself, conquer your fears, just go after what you want and act fast because life just isn’t that long.”

Pam has gotten a lot of flack these past few seasons but man… I started crying here. I needed that pep talk today.

I screamed when he showed up.

Watching this show (and 30 Rock) helped me through so much life shit.

When my work sucked and sales sucked and people sucked, watching this show on my lunch break got me through the day.

“Ethnic” whites are still white. White Jews are still white. So are white muslims. White privilege is white privilege is white privilege. You can experience anti-Semitism or xenophobia or religious persecution and still be white. Remember intersectionality? You can be a non-American, but if you…

Mexican film director Emilio Fernández, one of my favorite directors, posed for the Oscar statue …. Things you didn’t know.

The 8-pound, 24-karat gold plated statues that will be handed out Sunday evening at the 84th Annual Academy Awards were modeled after a Mexican man.

You read that right.

The most recognized trophy in the world known simply as “Oscar” is modeled after Mexican filmmaker and actor Emilio Fernandez.

Solvej Schou on the history of how the statue came to be:

Working in Hollywood, Fernandez befriended Mexican actress Dolores del Rio, then wife of studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s art director and Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences member Cedric Gibbons. Del Rio introduced Fernandez to Gibbons, who was in charge of supervising the statuette’s design.

Gibbons asked Fernandez to pose in the buff for a sketch to create the basis for the 8.5-pound trophy. Reluctantly, Fernandez did, and the design became the foundation for artist George Stanley’s famous sculpture of the statuette, given out at the very first Academy Awards in L.A. in 1929.

That design remains to this day.

The irony of it all is that only two Mexican actors have ever been nominated for an Oscar. This year’s best actor nominee Demián Bichir is the second Mexican (male) actor to be nominated in the 84-year history of the Oscars.

Across all categories only 11 out of 2,809 Oscar trophies have been awarded to Mexicans— and they’re mostly behind the scene awards.

The number of Mexicans in the Academy that gets to vote for who gets Oscars is also pretty low. Only 2% of Academy voters are Latino. Out of 5,100 Academy voters only about 100 are Latino—-which probably leaves you with a dozen or three Mexicans in the mix.

Bolding mine— one of many reasons why the Oscars can get fucked. I think that’s gonna be kind of a theme for my blogging today.

Pretty much.

Help me fix my computer!

Help me fix my computer!:

bravery-and-joy:

Hi everyone! My name is Chelsea. I am currently a junior Music Education major, and I need your help.

On Christmas Eve, my computer bit the dust. And while it was easy to manage without a laptop during the holidays and when school was just getting started, now that the semester is underway and deadlines are approaching, getting work done without my own computer is a little tough. But you can help! For $200, I’ll be able to send my laptop to the manufacturer, have everything repaired and replaced, have it sent back to me, and will be able to cover any extra fees from that process.

I’d really appreciate any help you can give, even if that’s means just passing this on to someone. And if you know how to reach me via Tumblr or Facebook, please send me a message so that I can have the chance to thank you personally (and maybe mail you a little something to say thanks).

Thanks so much!

Lemon, there is a word, a once special word that’s been tragically co-opted by the romance industrial complex and I would hate to use it here and have you think that I am suggesting any type of romantic sentiment, let alone an invitation to scale bone mountain.
It’s a word that comes to us by way of the old high German luba from the latin lubera meaning “to be pleasing”. So, I’m going to use this word to describe how I feel about you in the way that our angalosaxin forefathers would have used it in reference to say…. “hot bowl of bear meet” or “your enemies skull, split”.

I love you too, Jack.

I am a mess of tears. Part of it is PMS but seriously Jack and Liz telling each other how much they meant to each other brought on the water works.

My favorite show is ending tonight...

Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:40:41 -0800

I never got bored with 30 Rock; I’ve always thought the show was hilarious and self aware. I’m annoyed it doesn’t even get a full season to wrap up.

Even when some episodes weren’t as perfect as others, it was consistently a higher quality comedy. The only character I ever disliked was Hazel Wassername but I never find Kristin Schaal funny.

I’m happy it got seven seasons though. Every year I panicked that it would get canceled.

But I’ll be watching tonight hopefully with some wine and cake.
