You're waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away.

So March Madness has started! But I'm not terribly invested in the prelims cause most of my favorites are either cruising to victory or don't really have a shot. So whatever. But after the prelims it's game on cause Alice Morgan and Omar Little need to go ALL THE WAY. I mean, come on, Omar is Barack Obama's favorite character. I like that they added a whole slew of better fandoms this year cause I was getting really sick of seeing Dawson's Creek. I love that the ladies are getting so much support right now but I feel like this happens every year in the early rounds. Everyone's all GIRL POWER but then somehow it fades away and dudes win anyways. But it's nice to see Arya vs. Sansa vs. Dany for Game of Thrones as opposed to the terribly obvious Tyrion winning everything.
(LOOK AT THIS LEVEL OF FLAWLESSNESS)
For the folks who are more movie-inclined, I have an Oscar 2012 version of March Madness going on at![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=91.6)
thankyouacademy. You basically vote for your favorite characters but instead of shows, they're from the major Oscar nominated movies of the year. Last year I did a Best Picture winners tournament but there was huge bias for more recent movies (Return of the King came out on top). This year I think it'll be more of a fair match-up cause all the movies are from 2011. My teams at the moment are Ernest Hemingway (Midnight in Paris), Helen Harris (Bridesmaids), Celia Foote (The Help), Rene Tabard (Hugo), George Smiley (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), and obviously Lisbeth Salander. And... no one from The Iron Lady. GO VOTE!

This is my obligatory post-Oscar recap, not terribly coherent but as Meryl says "whatever". Also lots of fashion.

(+) Oscar simulation results have been posted. (click the banner) Thanks to everyone who voted this year! It seems like this year, your tastes are pretty much in line with the Oscars.
(+) I caught up on some TV lately and marathoned The New Girl cause I was bored. I actually like it so far, it's cute and pretty funny. From what I was hearing, I thought the Zooey Deschanel schtick would be too much but even though it is kind of a continuation of her typical persona, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was more Sally Hawkins in Happy-Go-Lucky, though I realize that performance was not universally loved, than like another (500) Days of Summer situation. Like she is genuinely an optimistic dork and that feels true to the character, rather than making her into a MPDG and using her quirkiness and free-spirited nature to advance the emotional arc of a man. Anyways, so far it's pretty cute and harmless. As for ships, I'm not really sure yet cause while I like the guys' friendship with Jess, I also like their actual love interests. So as of now, I'm not really shipping Jess with anyone. I kind of like that it's not doing a typical sit-com route where there's like immediate sexual tension between two characters that culminates in something happening in the first season finale and so forth. At least so far, it doesn't seem like it's going there.
