All mix and no match

Very much enjoyed reading the Dooce debate on dialects and the correct way of pronouncing crayon. As a Swede, I've always pronounced it 'cray-on', but then again, I had no idea there were people with English as their native language who actually pronounce the 'L':s in walk and talk. Funny how it is sometimes.

Mark Schwahn, the creator of One Tree Hill, is an asshat of massive proportions. That was one incredibly sucky season- and possibly series finale. He even admitted to ending the season with the hideous cliffhanger with the manipulative thought that the audience would rage against the series ending that way and subsequently getting him another season. I actually want the show to end now, just so that he learns that it doesn't work like that. And to get to read his blog about it. Seriously, that would be storytelling gold, much unlike the crap he's spouted this season.
But still, way to screw over the (few) fans you have left, Schwahny.

Gilmore Girls, not quite as bad, but still extremely depressing. What in God's name have the SherPas done to Luke? And why? Alexis Bledel managed to cry convincingly and impressed me greatly - I didn't think I'd live to see that. There must be some sinners freezing their asses of down in hell just about now.
I hope Rosenthal can dig the show out of the hole it's buried itself in next season... As long as there is some more Colin/Finn HoYay! (because HoYay should always be followed by an exclamation mark), and a JavaJunkie wedding I'll be happy. And if Chris were killed in a painful accident I wouldn't exactly mourn the loss.

And speaking of hell, 7th Heaven was renewed. They've gone on and on for months about this being the last season, making everyone see the light at the end of the tunnel, and then it gets renewed. That if something proves that there is indeed no God, which I guess would explain the Luke situation. Why won't this show just lie down and die? It's like a friggin' cockroach.

I'm watching the football Youth Festival between France and Mexico, and there are two French players that are called Kavaj and Idioti. It's hillarious. 'Och fransmännen tar bollen... Idioti!' Heh.

So, the RENT cast is set... Linda Bengtzing as Mimi. I could cry. And is it wrong that Collins/Benny being white annoys me?

My whole body hurts so much from jumping around on the crutches it's overtaking the pain in my foot. My arms and hands (and my stomach, for some reason) feel like I've been working for seven days straight at the gym. But the foot rests, and if aching arms is the price I have to pay to be able to dance on Saturday, I'll pay it gladly. Well, alright, complaining and whining, but I'll pay it.

I just realised that One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest with Christian Slater as Mac is playing while I'm in London. Damn, how much would I love to see that....

Oh, where have you read about the Rent cast? Collins and Benny being white does annoy me too, but I guess that's to expect, how many black guy's in Sweden who does musicals?

Jumping around on crutches is one of the best workouts there is =)

I say 'cran'.

And yes, Collins/Benny being white should annoy you because altering characters for no beneficial reason is dumb.
