- I hid a few RL people from my FB newsfeed and I feel much less rage in the mornings when I check my FB. There's only so much stupidity, racism, classism and sexism I can handle with my breakfast.
- I have an issue with my Tumblr where I follow some extremely talented fanartists but their text posts and tags are just full of snobbery, hate and entitlement and I haven't worked out how to deal with that yet.
- I feel like I'm obligated to watch Game of Thrones even though it's pretty much just a whole heap of Crap Stuff that happen to Unsympathetic People now, or Game of Jerks. I can't remember the last time any character was happy. And there are A LOT of characters. I honestly don't think I'd be at all upset if any of them died.
- Unlike Spartacus where I'm guaranteed to cry buckets from here on out.
- The 30 Day TV Meme has made me think a lot about the TV I've consumed over the years. I was thinking about shows with Asian characters in them in my childhood and I could come up with two: Captain Planet, and the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. (a little later on there would be Ghostwriter, but I was a bit older by then). I remember wishing that Wheeler (the North American Fire guy) and Linka (the Eastern European Wind girl) would hook up - and I think they did, and thinking about it now, it's obvious that they were the only two who could hook up because they were the only two white people. And that went with Power Rangers too.. Kimberley the Pink Ranger ended up with Tommy the Green/White Ranger because black/Asian people never get romances. And it never ever occurred to me to think otherwise as a kid.
I really hope that changes as Liam grows up because I really do not want him to completely reject the fact that he is as much Vietnamese as he is white. I really want him to think that it's cool to be Vietnamese. Haha maybe he'll be into martial arts and drifting and I won't have to care :p
- We've had a lovely Easter - Adam took Liam camping overnight and I got a lot of sleep and managed to see my family and all my friends which is pretty much unheard of for me. Liam helped me decorate some Easter baskets for the family, and I filled them with eggs, when I woke up in the morning, all the eggs were mysteriously in Liam's basket. I WONDER HOW THAT HAPPENED.
- I really need to reorganise my wardrobe. Maybe I could do a 'should I keep / throwaway' photo set.
