Clap if you love Sarah Haskins!

This interview with her is awesome. She strikes the right balance of sincerity and humor in her answers. Got to love this:

What's your favorite show on TV? Why?
I love "30 Rock" because it's so funny and smart and surprising. And I love "Battlestar Galactica" because I have a soft spot for epic stories.

And this:

What do you think the most obnoxious female stereotype is?
Stripper with a heart of gold. Just once in a movie I want the male lead to fall in love with a really mean stripper. Or have the stripper take one look at him and say, "There is no way I am ever falling in love with a train wreck like you. Get a job, loser."

Because: fuck yesssssss. I loathe this stereotype almost more than any other. It's at the heart of all the problematic interpretations of women, the idea that sex work is inherently degrading except for that one hot chick that a guy can redeem by securing her allegiance to his single, non-paying cock.

Oh, and this:

What's your opinion -- are guys intimidated by funny women?
Stupid guys are. I think guys who appreciate funny women are a cooler brand of guy. They're probably more secure in themselves and just like laughing. That's a great quality. Why wouldn't you want people in your life with a wonderful sense of humor?

MARRY ME, SARAH.

See, now, I like the TV question for the OTHER show.

Hey, for the one episode I've seen of 30 Rock, I thought it was a good show. It definitely had me laughing.

I wholly encourage watching the series. Like all shows there are some miss episodes, but as a whole it's just fantastic TV. And this from someone who doesn't LIKE TV.

I watched the pilot with the roommates. Some day soon (like when shows currently ongoing go on hiatus), we'll get back to it. It's not from lack of interest, just lack of ability to corner us all into watching something at the same time.

Yeah, thus the reason I've seen seasons 1 and 2 twice. I watched it. Loved it. Told Jamie he needed to see it and have since watched them again with him in smaller chunks as he's home and in the mood to watch tv shows.

Despite the "stripper with a heart of gold" trope, The Wrestler is still worth watching.

Oh, and I have the first season of 30 Rock on DVD if you want to borrow it. Great stuff.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I have it all on Watch It Now via Netflix, but thanks just the same. We'll get around to it eventually.

Moving to Massachusetts?

I'm holding out hope for California yet. And, who knows? With a little correction of the Assembly and Senate, maybe New York!

It's pretty likely the Iowa state supreme court will rule that gay marriage is legal this summer. I'm sure your hillbilly relatives will just love that.

Iowa has its moments of liberality. Good for them!

From what I can tell, the bulk of the people here are more of the libertarian bent (that's with a small l) than the religious nutso side. Not that people here aren't religious nutjobs. It's just that they don't want the government telling them or anyone else what to do (unless it involves corn/ethanol subsidies).

I luuurve her sooo much :)

She's funny and smart and sharp. What's not to love?
