the second season of the walking dead is hands down the worst season of television i have ever seen, and the only reason i stuck with it was for gabe's recaps. people keep saying it's gotten better, but there is no way it was actually gotten GOOD.
i only watch two of these shows (well, three, but i am VERY behind on eastbound & down) but they are two very good shows and i'm glad to see them here! although i feel like bob's burgers should probably be higher. not saying it's better than breaking bad but it's definitely better than breaking bad. also, walking dead but no JUSTIFIED??? gabe is rolling over in his grave!
so work is a nightmare, no duh, it's december, work is always a nightmare, although today has been more so than usual, BUT, earlier one of my co-workers asked me who the m.o.d. (manager on duty) was, but he accidentally said "m.o.b." which obviously stands for "manager on BOOTY," and now i've had funkadelic stuck in my head all day. also i'm dead, r.i.p. meeeeee

"like, i love soda, but i want something that has that sour taste that only yogurt can provide."
work was crazy busy and stupid and there weren't enough people working and it was a gross nightmare and i barely got out in time to catch my bus EXCEPT then the bus didn't even show up because the valley transit authority is dumb garbage, so now i'm stuck waiting for the next one, which is going to be packed full of TEENS, and i haven't eaten all day and i'm hungry and angry and the guy sitting next to me at the bus stop is just growling and yelling "DIE YOU PIECE OF SHIT" at no one in particular and uuuuugh. BUT, i am going to see book of mormon tomorrow, so.
it is still very strange to me that one direction don't dance at all, which is something i did not realize until the last time they were on snl because i am a grown man. it's weird, right? dancing is a big part of being a boy band, i think!
this episode was p good. paul rudd is the best, obviously. also, um, hellooooo, nasim pedrad in the remembering past boyfriends sketch.
also, in his speech at the end, mario lopez says something about how he "lost a lot" because of truddie. um, what? what did you lose? your shitty girlfriend was mad at you for like five seconds until you implied you had bought her a diamond and then your engagement continued as planned until YOU broke it off. the whole kidnapping was, at worst, a MINOR INCONVENIENCE for you. WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT, MOVIE?

i think my favorite part was where the brother came out at christmas dinner and the grandma (sorry, grandma!) did a spit take but she clearly didn't have anything in her mouth so she just kind of blew a raspberry? also the fact that the roadside gas station in the middle of nowhere just happened to have extra virgin olive oil? this movie, you guys.
work was so busy today, good grief. there are so many people! why are there so many people?? i would definitely be okay with a whole mess of people getting the 4400ed away, minus the part where they come back MYSTERIOUSLY. what are the holidays like for you, adult monsters with real jobs? are they everything i always dreamed??
now i am eating a salmon burrito and continuously refreshing the ups shipment tracker, like that's going to make these stupid comic books get here faster.
see, i'm sort of the opposite: i usually just wait for trades, because i like being able to read a whole arc in one sitting, and i just like having everything in a nice hardcover (if available) book on my shelf, but there are a couple of series (saga in particular, and batman, incorporated, when that was still running) that i've been debating switching to monthlies for because the wait is excruciating.
i am getting over a cold, but i think i can probably still look forward to having a hacking cough for no reason for another month or so, because that's just sort of what happens whenever i get a cold.
i have to work tonight and friday, but both are closing shifts during our "extended holiday hours" that no one seems to know about, so the store is basically dead for most of the night.
tomorrow my family will be doing our traditional thatnksgiving-at-the-beach, which is always fun even though i am a grumpy vampire who hates the beach.
now i am eating a comically large roast beef sandwich and watching mystery science theater and fidgeting with this stupid design thing that was supposed to be due last week but then when i went to submit it the deadline had been pushed back to the middle of december, so now i'm just going to fret over every little detail of it until the last minute like a real dummy.
no more stupid recap thing at the beginning of the episode! the part at the end where our pals both let their beautiful hair down after a long day of haunted house hunting was v cute. also, francesco francavilla's poster for this episode is one of my favorites so far:

one question i have about this week's new girl is has jess always had that car with the flame decals? didn't she used to have like a blue station wagon or something? like, it obviously doesn't matter, but i don't remember it and it just struck me as weird for some reason.
ALL OF THESE. (all of these except for the polar express.) i'm kind of flabbergasted that no one has mentioned elf until now (i'm not going to read back through the thread to see if that's actually true). ELF IS THE BEST.
i feel like the other mst3k santa claus always gets overshadowed by conquers the martians, but it's one of my favorites as well. plus "no, lupita!" is one of my favorite running jokes, AND i once saw a mexican woman legitimately shout it at her young daughter on a bus, and i'm dead now.
so gabe delahaye dies in a "mysterious" plane crash, and now a new rapper bursts onto the scene whose name just HAPPENS to be an anagram of his name, probably? OPEN YOUR EYES, PEOPLE.
