Unimpressed, mostly
Aug. 28th, 2013 07:08 pmI am unimpressed by a few things. First on the list is CBS's sit-com offering "We Are Men". Rhetorical: does the world really need another sit-com revolving around men (mostly white, with the token person with pigment) behaving boorishly?
The song "Blurred Lines" has a horrendous, horrendous message.
The dreaded hotel I'm staying at has a tattered sofa, the towels smell like my old coworker P's lunches (fish and Chinese broccoli), the A/C is on full blast and it's barely cool in here, the mini-fridge has no freezer (relevant because I bought frozen meals to save money and calories, only to find no means to keep them frozen - thank goodness for preservatives! *cough*) and the paint is peeling off the shower walls. These things do not impress me.
These might fall under "impressed in a horrified way" in fanfic finds:
Re-leave for relieve.
Tenterverly for tentatively.
My word, does no one know how to use a dictionary anymore?
Also, rather than issuing the highly cringeworthy "sickspeak" (eg: Bert smiled weakly, "'M ffine….don't wworry 'bout mme…..you take carre of Eeernnnie"), can't we all just say his speech is slurred? Because, well, try to actually say it how the example is spelled out.
Oy.
On a lighter note:
