Sup, y’all! I’m back with Quick Takes? CAN YOU HANDLE IT?!
1. Okay, the news you’ve all assuredly been waiting for: GERI JEWELL IS A LESBIAN!!!!! Now, many of you will be saying, “Um, who?” And that’s just because you’re young and never watched old shows. Or you’re old and your memory is going. And clearly, you never saw Deadwood. But Geri Jewell is an actress who has cerebral palsy, and was in The Facts of Life and Deadwood. She was actually pretty bad ass in Deadwood. I say, good for her for coming out! She’s in her 50s, and she deserves to be who she is. She’s also very talented, and is a great role model for people with disabilities. You go, Geri! And here you are surprised that The Facts of Life cast member who is gay isn’t Jo! Well, there’s a Family Guy for that!
2. We’ve been snowed in for 3 days. THREE DAYS. I dug my car out yesterday and got to Chipotle (the important things, y’all), but it has been no joke. I haven’t subbed in quite some time, since schools have been closed for ages. This is very weird and tiresome. I’m happy the sun is out now. We never had all this snow when I was growing up. Global Climate Change is real, yo.
3. School has started again! Unfortunately, due to the aforementioned snow, I’ve only been to one class. I haven’t even been able to purchase a book I need in order to do an assignment that’s due Monday. I’ll probably have to trek over early on Monday because the bookstore is always closed when it’s convenient for me. Boo.
4. Ryan and I have been watching SNL on Netflix, and it has been great. Last season (35) was so much better than this season, but it’s all very fun. Our favorite sketch of late has been Father Swim Coach Scoutmaster. Because those are all dudes who can and will molest your kids. My god. So hilarious.
5. What the fuck is this? Why, it’s the Vibram Five Finger BOOT. Just when you think they can’t get any worse looking, these people make a BOOT. Dear god. Can you imagine? I hate feet, so these shoes and boots just offend the shit out of me.
6. Apparently Will Smith is going to do a remake of the movie Annie, which will star his daughter Willow. First of all, Will Smith needs to stop buying up the rights to movies (a la The Karate Kid in China with fucking Kung Fu and NOT karate) just to foist his children upon us. Keep your Scientologist babies to yourself. And second, I wonder if the world will accept a non-redhead Annie. Is there going to be some racism? I don’t think the character of Annie NEEDS to be white and a redhead, but I’m guessing that since white supremacist groups have problems with a black “Norse god” in the upcoming movie Thor, someone will balk at this. (By the way, hey white supremacists? It’s 2011. Please STFU for the rest of time.)
7. And 6 is all you get.
