David: Are you around tomorrow afternoon?
Me: I’m just binge-watching SUPERNATURAL and working on a gigantic piece about the actors/the gender politics of the show/the insane fandom/the objectification of male beauty and what that signifies/what the word “schtick” means, especially in the context of the work of lead actor Jensen Ackles and how that relates to the history of schtick and I am trying to tie it all together and have been working on the damn thing for a week now.
Why?
It keeps me out of the booby hatch that’s why.
In other words: I’m around.
that piece sounds like a great read!
Rae – I hope so! Having fun writing it!
Can’t wait to read the article. I’m 52 and really love that show, and can’t really explain why. Eye candy, perhaps?
Lydia – Oh yeah – the eye candy is a huge part of it!!
Just OMG, Sheila. O. M.G.
Ha. I know.
