I have no idea what to title this

I'm at 19,527 on my word count for my story. Which is not bad, but I really am not sure I'll make it to 50,000 by the end of the month. Still, the point of this exercise is to get one writing every day, and that's working, so it's all good.

I was going to talk about Gilmore Girls and House, but I can't seem to work up the enthusiasm. Not that I didn't enjoy both shows very much, I just don't know if I feel like going into an in depth analysis of them right now.

And, while I really enjoy the recaps, I think I need to stop reading the forums on TwOP because dang those people are never happy. And there is always someone who has to bring up the 'jumping the shark' thing, every time there is a plot twist they don't like. Anyway, it sort of spoiled my desire to discuss the shows.

There's a meme going around where you post the 5 fictional characters you'd like to punch in the mouth. It's pretty amusing.

My first one would be Claudio in Much Ado About Nothing*. What a whiny little drama llama. First he's all sad because he thinks the Duke stole Hero out from under him, then he takes the advice of the guy who, until recently had been fighting against him and totally humiliates Hero in front of everyone instead of just leaving. The big dick. If I were Hero I totally would not take him back. At the end bit where she reveals herself to him and says Nothing certainer:
One Hero died defiled, but I do live, And surely as I live, I am a maid. I would add, 'And maid I shall remain until a real man comes along. So bite me. Jerk.'

Romeo was a bit of a drama queen too, come to that. He's all 'oh noes, kill me!' While Juliet is all 'okay, what can we do to get out of this situation.' If he weren't all emo he might have lived long enough to see that the whole Juliet is dead thing was a fake.

Hester in A Scarlet Letter is another one. Dude, you put the stupid letter back on and abandon the idea of splitting with the guy you love because your stupid brat of a daughter cried when you took the letter off? She'll get over it. Sheesh.

That's all I can think of right now.

Well, I've rambled uselessly, didn't I?

*except for hiddengrotto, who was a totally hot Claudio


ETA: I just totally realised that Robert Sean Leonard was totally Claudio in the Brannaugh movie from 1993 (awesome movie) Every time I watch House I would think he looked familiar but couldn't place the movie. I knew it wasn't the Dead Poets Society. Wow. Mystery solved.
