I now realize that the author just plain has a big honking dose of cynicism. Sookie has flaws, the ladies have flaws, and the guys have flaws. And it's still awesome! All is forgiven. **cuddles the series**
These are all very small, nonsensical things.

She's so awesome! That is one way the show is a massive improvement. I just love her! But you can tell they didn't mean for her confidence, sexuality and total kickassness to be awesome, because they kill her. I'm pretty sure they meant her to come off as a crazy slut.
SCREW YOU, HBO. SCREW YOU. what is this my tagline for the damn series?
DAWN YOU ROCK MY WORLD.
Nope. It's dragonback. *grins*

So the question becomes: how many friends attending nearby colleges can I pester into letting me check out books on their cards? I began at GW (George Washington University for non-DCites). They had, based on their catalogue, five books on French May alone, and I thought that my problem was solved. I lugged all five back home on the Metro. Unfortunately, French May is interesting and contentious because of its results in chief. Somehow, books published later in 1968, in '69, in 1970 and 1971 just don't seem, well, useful or impartial or even worthwhile. Current scholarship, they are not. Results: four books published before 1975 and the fifth is a collection of translated documents.
Gah.
Round two: University of Maryland. There are three books of current scholarship —and two of them are currently checked out, one all the way into 2009 (the hell?). So I could really, really use number three, but my UMD contacts aren't going to be able to get it to me until after I need to be able to produce it.
One day, I will learn not to put off research until the night before.

9 words women use
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are
right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.
Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more
minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something,
and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing
usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement
often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an
idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing
with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women
can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard
before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say
you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless
she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking
you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' ... that will bring on a
'whatever').
(8) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying ______ YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning
this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but
is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's
wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.
* Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can
avoid if they remember the terminology.
* Send this to all the women you know to give them a good laugh, cause
they know it's true.
WTF???
At first Speed and now Warrick????

They didn't have The Rats, so I'll probably get that from the Columbia House as soon as I feel like registering.
Well, I'm off to scare myself shitless! Wish me luck!

Mostly, though I just HATEHATEHATE that whenever a show wants to make a previously non-combative female tough, they have to make her all dark and bitter and screwed up. UH NO. FAIL. Sweethearts can be vicious, too. They can stay all sunshine and optimism and still be able to beat the shit out of people.
No, wait, I remember: someone brought in the first episode and part of the finale of the first season to be analyzed in one of my classes. All I remember of her then was that a) she was self absorbed, perhaps understandably, and b) I was monumentally pissed at how the male heroes ran the gamut not only in lifestyle, race and appearance but in how they dealt with their superpowers and both heroines were blonde, a cheerleader and stripper and both unable to deal with or screwed over by their powers.
SUBTLE, SHOW. SUBTLE. SO SUBTLE I PRESENT YOU WITH A GREAT BIG MIDDLE FINGER AND LEAVE.
Flying kicks! I dunno, I just love her. In the previous chapters she's totally a lady--but a bossy, kickass one.

My interest in this series is absent-minded at best. It's there though--but this is about its extent.
... and that accent *sigh*
And Shia LaBeouf played there *mhmmm yeah*
