Cranky Liz spam!

I got home from work, and somehow it was like INSTA!BAD MOOD! Usually it's the other way around. But I sat down, and suddenly today's stomach cramps turned into hiccups, and then there was the casting call for the new Torchwood characters, and that was like RTD had sat down to create the maximum amount of fail possible. So no good mood for Liz! Maybe I'll feel better after I've had a shower and a glass of wine*.

In the meantime, let's all admire RTD's casting call. The new characters on Torchwood are:

- asshole white guy
- woman of colour who unrequitedly loves asshole white guy
- Roman Polanski





Things which don't seem to upset belly: lighter red wines, smoked salmon and marscapone pizza, strawberry and lime cider, frozen spaghetti bolognese, Arnotts Country Cheese crackers, raspberry and orange juice. Things which do upset belly: EVERYTHING ELSE.

Whaaaaaat the actual fuck.

Also, "Rex Matheson"? Seriously? So, everything RTD knows about america, he learned from reading hard-boiled detective novels, eh?

I rolled my eyes at the fervently Christian character being named "Esther" as well.

I'm reading a Charles Williams novel right now (HELLO, FEMALE CHARACTER NAMED LESTER FURNIVAL!) so I didn't even notice that. I just noticed the generic, unreal 'LOL SHE'S NOT WHITE' surname.

Katusi is a real name - it's an older-style romanisation of "Katsushi", a Japanese surname. Lots of Japanese-Americans use pre-WWII romanisations because that's when their families arrived in the US.

That said, "all races and ethnicities EXCEPT Caucasian" tends to indicate "I saw this name somewhere and it sounded EXOTIC".

I knew of Katsushi. I did not know of Katusi. Thank you.

DEAR GOD I KNOW. JAPANESE=NOT-WHITE TO RUSTY AND THAT'S ALL THE THOUGHT HE SEEMS TO PUT INTO IT.
