This may be the last you ever hear from me
Because I am watching Glee and all signs indicate that Darren Criss is about to song “Something’s Coming” from West Side Story, so I predict that if I don’t actually have a heart attack I’ll just turn into a pure liquid state. And that would seriously mess up my keyboard.
Update: *I am dead*

So Saturday Night was Fun
- Me: ...do we know how old this dude is?
- Hannah: No. He looked about our age.
- Me: Well yeah but in a hookah bar with a twelve-year-old DJ playing the Cupid Shuffle, things may not be entirely as they seem.
- Hannah: Good point there.

Jezebel recently made a very interesting archaeological discovery, only to find out that weirdly enough, it wasn’t that old. Apparently, over at the site for Tampax tampons, the resident expert on all things menstrual was asked by a concerned mother if tampons would “take her daughter’s virginity.” We’ll defer to ‘Bel’s commentary on that, because there was a similar, more interesting question asked in the comments by one (fictional) concerned mother on a hit HBO series.
“When you watch Torchwood there is a warning at the very beginning that some scenes may offend or disturb people, so if you allow your children to sit and watch it with you that’s your responsibility, it’s not ours anymore. We kissed, we held each other, we lay on top of each other in bed… and there were lots of complaints about that. Nobody complained that I was shot in the head four times, there were burning people in ovens, that I was stabbed by a mob of 50 people hundreds of times, and I was hanging dripping my blood in a pit. So that’s what confuses me, because you’re not complaining about gay sex, you’re complaining about two men kissing. And it’s 2011. And people say, “Well why should we have that on television?” Because the BBC have to represent the greater public — and there are gay people out there who pay their television license. For people to complain, that’s your prerogative — but you know what, none of them turned it off! They were just embarrassed because it put them in a position where they had to explain things to their kids or their family which probably should have been explained a long time ago.”
