Memoirs of the Angst-Bitch

Ok, I has an opinion.

I don't get the new style of putting "triggering" canon content behind white text or whatever. It's not like this is your own personal writing; this is canon content. Like if I were to say that Deadly Premonition is about a serial killer who engages in sadomasochistic relations with his victims and then bites out their tongues so they can't speak before murdering them. That's canon. It doesn't need a warning anymore than saying Berserk contains brutal rape scenes, including one of a minor. That's canon. Now, if I were to *write* my own story/material involving said subject matter, yeah I could warn about that. Otherwise, canons can be sadistic stuff.

... I just realized Lost doesn't come on tonight and will never come on again. :( I need to write fanfiction about Hurley.

I also need to arrange a vet visit for Nikkolaus, as she has been bleeding lately, and I don't know what's up with that.

I got my Lost miracle. :)

( And now I talk about the episode and plot points that well... )

I am so pissed I can't even think straight. WTF LOST. GIVE ME MY HOUR BACK.

Cake vs. Pie? Now this is one bracket I can get behind.

I spilled a cup of Rita's Italian Ice Blackberry just before bed. This cup managed to land squarely on the edge of my computer in such a way that it splashed the stack of art books I store under the desk. The victims were Angel Sanctuary, Code Geass and Gankutsuo, which now bear dark reddish purple stains on the edges of their pages. I suppose it's fitting, but it still pisses me off. My only solace is that the CG book was Complete and not Mutuality, as I first feared. I seriously would have been on Amazon right now had it been Mutuality.

I made chocolate chip whole wheat cookies last night. I'm actually fairly proud of them since they're this perfect blend of crunchy and soft.

I'm also liking that "Throne of Jade" moves much faster than "His Majesty's Dragon" did, but I am debating on tossing "Gods Behaving Badly" in between "Throne" and "Black Powder War." I'm just too tempted from what I hear, and the Temeraire books are a bit of a strain on the eyes.

Your quote of the day:

"Biden: is there a vice presidential swear jar?

Roxanne Roberts: Between Joe and Rahm, you just solved the budget problem."

Today's lost image love is a two-fer since island lords are sexy. It's chess LOST-style.

My Irish contribution. It has the Pogues ooooh.

Also, I am with those who are a bit worn on the LJ bitching. I don't think half of the things LJ does wrong are done with malice so much as, for lack of better word, ignorance. As in ignorant to the big picture impact. It's a business after all. As I've said before, I only desire one thing from LJ and one thing alone. FOR THEM TO GIVE ME MY COMMENT NOTIFS WITHIN TEN MINUTES OF RECEIVING A TAG. This is not an insane requirement. :\

In book news, I really want more about Levitas. I will feel majorly cheated if his story is unresolved. I want to give the little dragon a hug. That and I think Roland is a cursed name. And for heaven's sake, Novik, pick ONE name for characters and stick with. I get that people have first and last names and that CHARACTERS might refer to them as either, but as your book is in third-person, YOU should stick with one. I have no idea who anyone is in this book half the time. ONE NAME.

I dislike the hate sent toward the RPer who admitted she didn't use the HMD meme because she didn't care what anyone else thought. Yeah, part of it had to do with the snarky wording, but the rest... I didn't see where every player should have to subject themselves to a critique or that they are a lesser person for not doing so. Sure, it might hurt to know that your BURNING OPINION is considered meaningless to someone who just wants to have fun, but hey that's life. Join the Redskins fans.

I just like violence. And I'm still undecided on how I feel about the episode overall.


And yay, my Irish brown bread making was a success! Now to send it.

- Four hours of sleep last night.
- Killed while playing baseball in Alter Ego. Forgot to save. :(
- Nearly getting killed by ending up in the middle of a vehicular funeral progression.
- Getting chewed out by a cop. Somehow did not get ticket.
- Learning the event I was supposed to go to was BEFORE the event I arrived for.
- Event I arrived for was 20 minutes late and it was COLD.
- Yelled at Graham for an hour about my issues.
+ Graham is wonderful for putting up with me.
+ AWESOME PROJECT IDEA with bonus of awesome interview prospects!
+ Has Catching Fire.
+ Did not have trouble finding parking at mall.
- Grr meme = love meme.
+ My Little Ponies review by the Nostalgia Chick!
+ Feeling of accomplishment with writing.
- Lost producers saying they aren't going to answer "everything".
+ Had a productive day.

I am skipping grocery shopping to read more PJO because canned soup is totally worth more Thalia being awesome.

I missed 15 minutes of Lost last night due to watching ice skating, and it was actually really good! High school AU FTW! By the way, I hope the Russian supervillain skater does take the gold since he is so badass, but I hope "I AM MADE OF FAB" Weir takes a medal of some kind. Sadly, in order for that happen, the top guys have to slip up in their free skate. Still, ice skating yeah!

Ben and Locke: A Love Story Reborn

OMG LOST JUST OMG OMG. Still, points lost for showing a certain scene THREE FRIGGIN' TIMES.

ETA: The idea of having a gif to represent each new Supernatural ep made me jealous so I'm doing this LOST-STYLE. I'll make sure they aren't spoilericious for anyone who has seen the previous ep and such.

I am debating renaming my main OC from "Psychosis" to Desmond because I feel the name is more in line with his characterization than Ty or Tyrell. Plus, Desmond means gracious protector and that's pretty awesome. That and Des is a cooler nickname than Ty. I think way back in the day I had an Australian shepherd character named Desmond. He fought a tiger or something. Either way, I love the name and want to use it for one of my novels. Yes, I realize this will cause some clashing between Desmond and Dominic, but since Dominic is mostly known as Nicky, I think it will be doable. This change will go along with me actually making Des (Ty) into a semi-formidable fighter/swordsman as he was originally supposed to be, to harken back to his Alistar ancestral linkage, and less of a throwaway. Desmond and Kathryn Fatine. I like it!

I am going to make my cookies tonight! I'll probably be baking forever but it'll be awesome. Provided my roommate does not decide to give running commentary.

I've been slack on my political commentary since I like to be perky during my holidays. We might even get snow Friday. So I just want to laugh at the term "aughties". Dorks. Speaking of dorks, I am still so hyped up about the Princess and the Frog. I think I've decided that Tiana is my second favorite princess, just under Belle. Mulan ranks three, even though she's not really a princess. I guess that makes this list a Top Disney Females list or something. And well, the other princesses all kind of fail. They're adorable but examples of strong-willed women they aren't. Ariel was close but loses credit for being willing to risk losing her life for a guy she knew for 10 seconds. Jasmine... well, Jasmine is a bitch. Enough said. Honorable mentions include Jane, Nala, Esmeralda, Megara (who loses some points for the terrible writing at the end of Hercules) and yes Bianca. Pocahontas was a bit dull.

I loved the Lost chat on WaPo today with Doc Artz. Great theories getting thrown around there.

I've been reading a lot of reactions to the Lost finale so I think it's time for Nayami's favorite past-time. That's right, it's RANTING TIME. Warning, I absolutely detested the finale and have little things pleasant to say.
