shut up and let me see your jazz hands

I think I'm done with Supernatural. I watched about half of 6x02, and then ( Spoilerish )

I also am not going to continue with Outsourced. I gave the second episode a try, just on the very, very faint hope that it might be better than the pilot, but it really, really wasn't. There were a couple things I laughed at, though the only thing I can remember off the top of my head is the boss using a roller coaster background for his conference call and pretending he was on a roller coaster while talking.

But 99% of it had me cringing. It's not just racist, it's racist in this totally out-of-date way. Like, there are a ton of jokes about Indian food and a running theme is that the two American guys call everything "green goop" and "yellow goop" and "brown goop", hardee-har-har, but as someone said in one of the articles I will link below, that makes no sense for this character. Yeah, Indian food is not as ubiquitous in the US as the UK, but it is pretty common these days, especially for the sort of young, management-track type of guy this is. You can't tell me he's never eaten Indian food before.

Anyway, here are some good articles about it:

So I've seen Mumbai Calling referenced a few times as a better version of this show, and I thought, hey, why don't I download that? So I did, and I will be watching it soon, and I am 100% sure I will enjoy it more, because there's really not much way I can enjoy it less.

So apparently Supernatural is getting an anime in Japan.

All I have to say about this episode is ( Spoilers )

Also this week's episode of Community was the best episode ever.

I watched this episode Thursday night, but hadn't posted anything because omg, where do I start?

( Spoilers, natch )

Hey, I've been catching up on some TV!

( Leverage 2x12-13 )

( SPN 5x13 )

( Supernatural 5x10 )

I also watched Modern Family, but I don't really have anything to say there. There wasn't anything wrong with it, per se, but it was the weakest episode so far and I just wasn't finding much to get excited about. (Probably because the main storyline was about Phil and Claire and I just don't care about them.)

1. Had a very productive day yesterday. I found the Jump scans early, so got Naruto, Bleach, and Bakuman all done before 8pm (normally I would not even be getting started until a couple hours before that at most). I also got a doujinshi done.

2. I found raw scans of IS~Otoko Demo Onna Demo Nai Sei~! I have all the manga myself, but I had been wanting to pick up the scanlation as it had been abandoned a couple years ago after eight volumes. But seeing as we don't have a scanner right now, I had just set the idea aside for the moment. But when I went to Baka Updates to check and see if anyone had picked it up since I last looked, I found that someone had. But they are looking for a translator, so I emailed them and hopefully will hear back soon about that. I'd really love for it to get a good translation.

3. Since I finished work early last night, we were able to take a nice long walk. We went to Trader Joe's, Nijiya, and Ralph's (also stopped at McDonald's for dinner), none of which is really exciting, but we got some groceries and exercise.

4. Last night's SPN was good. I don't feel like making a separate post, so ( spoilers )

And speaking of TV, ( Glee spoilers )

Also because I need new shows to try and keep up with like I need a hole in the head, I've got Flashforward, Modern Family, and Fringe to check out. That's on top of all the other shows on my hard drive... The first two will probably get checked out first, since they're new this season and thus not much to catch up with if I do end up liking them.
