Wall o' Russian grammar! Augh!
There seems to be something very bizarre and unfriendly going on in the Human Target fandom, or at least a section of it. I'm not sure I like it. Misogyny is something you get used to when you have ... well, when you're a person who pays attention, and I kind of expected it to come up when the show introduced two female characters into what was previously a boys' club, but damn. That's a lot of oh this show sucks now I'm not watching it anymore from people I previously agreed with.
I do think some shows work better as a boys' club. A-Team did. Oz, from what I understand, did. Human Target worked fine as a boys' club, but I think now that the new showrunner seems to be settling down and some of the problems are starting to even out, it seems like the women will integrate just fine. The premise of the show, unlike A-Team, isn't predicated on a concept that is inherently male-dominated. Not the military, not a man's prison, not a boys' school. It's a bunch of pseudo-legal criminals and an ex-cop. No, I don't like the overtones of UST between Chance and Ilsa, and yes Ames is irritating, but she seems to be written to be irritating. Which makes for some amusing interaction between her and Guerrero. And in the last episode, she's grown up a bit. Everyone seems to be settling into telling a good story again. And yet, people are complaining. The show didn't need women. Guerrero and Ames are going to hook up (I so don't see where this is coming from), Guerrero's been neutered (what??) because he isn't immediately abandoning Ames ( Blah blah most rececnt episode )
And that was a really, really long ramble. Wow. Probably most of it I said yesterday too.
My kitten remains problematic. Although I think he's slowly figuring out that just because we go into another room we're not completely abandoning him. He still likes human food, but since Maggie grew out of that I'm thinking Murdock probably will too.
And as of probably a week from today I will be DEBT FREE. NO MORE STUDENT LOANS. BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER. At least a quarter of that extra per-month money is getting dumped into savings, though, before I get used to having it. No point in blowing it all. I'm not sure what to do else, but I'm going to keep a careful eye on my budget to make sure I don't go completely nuts now. Happy dance of no debt-ness! I seriously didn't expect this to happen for, um. Several years, anyway.
