Hard Gay, I would just like to emphasize that CROTCH-THRUSTING AGAINST GRADE SCHOOLERS IS NOT OKAY.
Wow, it feels like I've been up forever. I got up early (at 6) so that I could make my doctor's appointment. I spent most of the morning there (and got one of my books for my Shakespeare paper read in the waiting room), got my blood drawn (which is always an ordeal, since I have VERY VERY BAD veins), then went and grabbed some lunch and did the reading for my Victorian seminar. (Of course, this means after all this I still have both my classes left to go to until 7:00 p.m., so I can't imagine getting up this early will become a habit.)
And speaking of, I just read the most questionable Victorian poem EVAR. It's Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market.
Short summary: it's about two sisters who see goblin men selling fruit. One sister, Laura, buys fruit from them with a lock of her hair:
( questionable excerpt 1 )
...er, "fruit." Right.
Of course, she ends up addicted, but now she can no longer hear the goblins' call; only her sister, Lizzie can. Lizzie is afraid Laura will end up like another girl they knew who wasted away and died from pining after the goblins' "fruit." So she goes to the goblins and attempts to buy fruit from them for Laura, only they refuse to let her take it away with her. She asks for her penny back, and they get mad at her, and try to force her to eat the "fruit":
( questionable excerpt 2 )
...yes, it gets even more questionable. Finally they give up and she runs home. Once she does, well...
( questionable excerpt 3 )
...yes, they are awfully lesbitastic for sisters, huh? Anyway, Laura licks the "fruit" juices off of Lizzie and is cured, and the two live happily ever after and eventually get married to menwho are not at all beards for their "sisterly" affection. Then there's a moral about how, aren't sisters great? They'll totally stand by you! And also undergo goblin bukkake so that you can lick it off!
Honestly, those wacky Victorians. XD

- Dear God, please tell me this movie never got made. It looks horrible. D:

- Hard Gay traumatizes children with crotch-thrusting, does cooking show! (Fromangrybabble.) If you're not familiar with Hard Gay, he's a character created by a Japanese comedian that runs around in leather hot pants and is constantly crotch-thrusting while saying "Woo!" (...yes, Japan is weird. So what else is new?) Anyway, I love the fact that his dish is called "Ninjin (Carrot) American Dogs," given that there's nothing at all American about the dish.
- Willie Nelson releases gay cowboy song on iTunes. I know it says it was written and recorded pre-Brokeback, but now I'm wondering just how many touching paeans to gay cowboy love we're going to see in the next year or so. And whether we'll also get movies featuring gay pirates (no, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 doesn't count) and gay ninjas.
And finally, I will leave you with this LJ icon (possibly not worksafe).
