3 more days of chemistry, i might not make it


It just occurred to me that none of Rachel Bilson's future employers are probably ever going to care enough to employ her range of ridiculous facial expressions to their fullest, greatest extent. Ugh.

I suppose you could. (But this kind of makes me sad.)

ME TOO. But I think I might have read something like two months ago that said they were on a break? POSSIBLY ON JEZEBEL, AND POSSIBLY FICTICIOUS. I am grossly overinvested in Brody/Bilson, Claire. GROSSLY.

They're never photographed together anymore? (WAIT, NEITHER ARE SIR JOSHUA AND DIANE, AND THIS IS SERIOUSLY MAKING ME QUESTION LIFE HERE. NO, IT'S OBVIOUSLY JUST DIFFERENT SCHEDULES. No, I'm serious, I'm not actually daring to think anything other than that or something similar.) LOL, Jezebel, reporting on celebrities. Brody/Bilson is not to be messed around with! I completely understand your investment!

YES BUT THAT IS EVIDENCE OF NOTHING and Hayden and Rachel is evidence of something, clearly, you know, by the rules of logic. AND LIKE JEZEBEL DOES ANYTHING ELSE.

WHATEVER, I CAN HOPE. Ryan and Rachel got back temporarily (EFF U, HATERS, WHO SAY IT WAS JUST A PHOTO OP), sooo. But ugh, Hayden, really? Hey! Jezebel reports on *~*women and their (women) problems*~*.

I WILL NEVER STOP HOPING. And Jezebel is really really hit or miss for me, to no longer be facetious, half the time I agree with them and the other half it is like "...did you really just say that?" I mean actually the ratio is more like 75/25, but the 25 is always reaaaaally "really?!"ish.

My housemate read it a lot, and I started to read it after she'd always send me links to cute puppies or baby animals or whatever that happened to have originated from Jezebel. I don't read it that frequently, but sometimes, they have articles that are, like, how do I describe them — I'm not looking for an article on this or that, but then I find it, and it's kind of perfect? And half the time, it's like, "Oh, this is awkward to admit, but this is perfect." Embarrassing? IDK. But I don't think I read it enough to be able to form a real opinion about its content.

No, it's not embarrassing! I really like the writing style of a lot of their writers, and they usually present their news in a way that interests me. And I like to read my celebrity gossip in a ~lady positive~ place. Plus they pick up some really amazing blogger essays along the way. All of which is why I do read it semi-regularly, but there is SO MUCH FILLER about terrible reality television, but sometimes I disagree with their byline on body image, and every so often they will be snarkily derisive about something in a way that bothers me.

A few months ago, a guy (who's gay, not that that really matters) I knew at school posted a specific Jezebel article — I don't remember which one, unfortunately — and said something about how the article exemplified what he didn't like about the site. Again, I don't really read it enough to be able to notice stuff like their body image byline (I wish I did), but I can sort of assume/figure out what people don't like about it? Sort of?

Do you remember what it was that the article exemplified?

[identity profile] thecolorbetween.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
No, not at all, unfortunately! Sorry, I shouldn't have even mentioned it, since I don't remember it at all. It was a few months ago. Ugh, I really have absolutely no idea what it could have been about. :-\
