The problem with Tom and Ann
feministfilm:
bmichael:
wonklife:
The problem with the Tom and Ann subplot in this season of Parks & Recreation is that it’s forcing viewers to confront the unpleasant fact that if they actually knew Tom Haverford in real life, they would hate him so, so, so much.

Get like 4 hours of sleep even though I was lying in bed for more than 8.

This is going to be an interesting day.

It’s going to be an interesting day when someone realizes I do shit like putting non-English BSG lyrics in as placeholder text on work things rather than ‘lorem ipsum’.
I can’t decide if it would be better if they actually got the reference, or if they just thought I was a total creeper for plastering “All of this has happened before. And all of this will happen...
