finished? why?

i just finished freaks and geeks.

why does nick like disco now? NO. NOT COOL, NICK. NOT COOL. i don't even like your girlfriend.

is daniel now a geek? can freaks become geeks? can geeks become freaks?

i never liked cindy. i liked maureen better. did the geeks just stop being friends with her? why?

why is daniel so attractive? his character reminds me of james dean. actually the actor who plays him (i think he plays something in spiderman, by the way) reminds me of james dean.

why isn't kim in the opening credits? she's such an integral part of the show.

did i ever tell you about the time bill made out with vickie?

millie's dog was huge! how did they think that they hit a squirrel?

WHY DIDN'T PEOPLE WATCH THIS SHOW WHEN IT PREMIERED?

only eighteen episodes?!

New favourite T.V. show: Freaks and Geeks

Question: Why do all the actually good T.V. shows get cancelled, after not even being able to complete ONE season, while shows like Secret Life and America's Got Talent have multiple seasons?

Thank you, IFC, for airing Freaks and Geeks and getting me hooked.

Hey You

Pony Pony Run Run

I NEED MORE NABOKOV IN MY LIFE.

I NEED MORE BROKEN BELL SONGS IN MY ITUNES.

I NEED MORE DIET SODA IN MY REFRIGERATOR.

I NEED MORE ORDER IN MY ROOM.

Well Joel Stein...

The Indian community is showing outrage to your satirical piece, My Own Private India.
I, on the other hand, laugh. I am slightly offended, but not to the same extent as the Indians who have labeled you a racist. I didn't feel like you were targeting Indians as a whole, I felt like you were targeting Indians who live in Edison, New Jersey.
Almost every Indian family who live in the United States, I can definitively assure you readers, know about this quaint little town known as Edison, in New Jersey. Almost every Gujurati family, I would assume, have some family member, family friend, or acquaintance who resides there. But, I am no fan of this town. I have a large disdain for this Edison, stemming from the fact that it is chockfull of Indians.

You were not trying to be edgy with your humor, because that would be exactly the opposite of what a TIME writer should be doing. They don't want to offend anyone with racist articles, of course.

It also seems as if you were insulting Hinduism with your statement: In retrospect, I question just how good our schools were if "dot heads" was the best racist insult we could come up with for a group of people whose gods have multiple arms and an elephant nose.. But it was misinterpreted by the readers. He wasn't insulting Hinduism at all! In fact, he was insulting racists.

Many were also extremely offended by this following quote:

For a while, we assumed all Indians were geniuses. Then, in the 1980s, the doctors and engineers brought over their merchant cousins, and we were no longer so sure about the genius thing. In the 1990s, the not-as-brilliant merchants brought their even-less-bright cousins, and we started to understand why India is so damn poor.

However, just because it is offensive doesn't make it less true. It's a very valid point.

And you weren't missing the Edison that you had before the Indian immigrants arrived; that was not what you were nostalgic about, so it seemed to me. You were nostalgic about the Edison in which there were these Indian immigrants, and because of that the better restaurants and friends.

So dear Joel Stein, it is apparent that your piece has been misunderstood, and your humor went over their heads. But, it does ring true.

listening to alex reads twilight on youtube (chapter 14)

Uffie sounds a lot like Ke$ha. Or Ke$ha sounds a lot like Uffie. Either way, I don't really like either of them beaucoup.
But... I do think that Uffie ≥ Ke$ha

I'll stick to Justice, thankyouverymuch.

I have been watching some youtube kid called Alex reading Twilight, and it is quite funny.

sore shoulders

i just got back from sierra's grandparents' lake cottage in indiana. it didn't feel like we were even in indiana!
