And it's fine, I guess.

I know it's better to just mute/block, but it's not as satisfying as telling someone they're dumb, full of drama, and should make better choices when it comes to tagging and cursing at other people pointing out their bad humor.

Or, I wish I could hear that achievement sound to prove I made a good decision.


I missed my chance to grab a very pregnant kitten last month, so now I'm feeding a very nursing mama and have not yet managed to follow her back to her kittens. I named her Mav, she's solid black and punched a cat twice her size in the face* to get at the wet food. I love her and would kill for her. She lets me pet her and pick her up, but she's so skinny I can't imagine she has a family.


* he backed up a respectful distance and waited until she was done to finish up the kibble.

and I would just deflate.

It's not the news has been subjectively worse the last two weeks. It's gotten steadily more ridiculous. And I just . . . I don't wanna anymore. Between the orange cheeto and the ignorant, mean people slinging spittle at my home state teachers - I'm just so tired. I had a conversation with Russ at work, and drumpf honestly strains my dedication to pacifism. Specifically the question of if you could go back in time to baby drumpf and make sure none of this ever happened, would you? I mean it's not reality, but the fact that I hesitated also bothers me. Metaphorically me.

*heavy sigh*

After putting a hold on it with my library in January, it was finally my turn to peruse Pete Souza's Obama: And Intimate Portrait and man was it a balm. It's a giant book with big, beautiful pictures of Obama visiting historical sites, visiting with real people, and playing with children. I don't have or want kids, but I like kids and he always looks so pleased when they're having a good time with him. Souza writes some, and it was always interesting, the captions try to tell you both who and what which I appreciated.

I also finished Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs - book geezus #10 in the Mercy Thompson series



Um, I loved the first several books in this series, lost a little steam in the middle, picked it back up, and now it's just churning down the money making tracks. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I just don't know how to describe the series over all. The strength is Mercy (I REALLY love Mercy) and the secondary characters. The male lead is a Nice Leader Guy, and while on one hand, it's refreshing that they have a great relationship and the conflict doesn't come from stupid communication issues, I also find him boring.

If you're curious, here's how the author summarized the first book, and I'd encourage you to try it out - Lots of supernatural politics, some romantical leanings, and a little bit of subtle revenge.

"Moon Called is the beginning of the story of Mercedes Thompson a coyote shapeshifter who is also a pretty decent mechanic. Mercy's world looks a lot like ours except that the Otherworld is begining to be forced out of hiding by our modern technologies. Mercy shares her back fence with the local Alpha werewolf and works evenings on the vampire Stefan's VW bus. She's safe and content -- which doesn't make a very interesting story, does it? So, of course, matters begin to change on the first page. In this book Mercy faces trolls and gremlins, old boyfriends and older vampires. I hope you enjoy her story." http://www.patriciabriggs.com/books/

So, livelongnmarry looks promising. There's a bunch of stuff on there I'd be interested in, and it's not near as scary as Sweet Charity. I'm thinking about offering some fanfic, even if no one wants me, at least I did my part, right? : )

Also, I know that there are some vidders on my flist. I'm just saying, if anyone offers to vid for SG-1 S9/10 + Ark, I'm there bidding.



In other random news:

I hate ?format=light. It just drives me bonkers and I have to change it over to style=mine to get to the generic comment page.

The people upstairs were having some kind of underwear, loud music, jumping up and down right over my bedroom party last night until four in the morning. I actually went upstairs to ask them to cool their jets, and it was my first time up the stairs. Well, I live in the freakin' Ritz compared to what they have up there. I can't understand why they wouldn't clear away the cobwebs in the hallway. That'd be the first thing I did every morning.

I finally got a call back from the state's Office of Emergency Management. We're working on getting me an internship for credit, but I'd take it even without the credit. I'm really excited to go down to the capital and see what's the what.

I got a call back for the resume I sent out last week, and I have an interview on the 8th. It's just a part-time office job - at a church, no less - but it'd be nice to do something. I'll bet they're interviewing everybody, but maybe I'll make a good impression and they'll feel sorry for me. *crosses fingers*

Big bang went well. I'm writing again, even if I should be working on my class papers. As soon as my textbook get here, I'll have to start preparing for my class the third week of July. Boo.

Goddamn inconsistent reffing! Shit!

Also, does anyone really want to see people sucking face during a football game?

*sighs*

I was in a wreck today. Everyone was okay, it was her fault, and she had three little kids in the car. I woke up to hear them screaming, and that's something I never want hear again.

It's been a long time since I had to peck on the keyboard. My right wrist is bruised and swollen so I've got some frozen broccoli on it. I didn't go to the ER or anything, I did lose consciousness for a bit, but I'm no worse for the wear. My truck on the other hand, is totaled. The wrecker guy said it was probably fixable, but I'm not going to hold my breath, even if I did have the money. This just sucks so much, especially now.

On the other hand, I'm just so thankful that no one got seriously hurt. I had my seat belt on, which sometimes I don't do. My dog was going to be with me but at the last second she wouldn't come in from outside. I'm so glad about that, because her poor little head would have been splattered across my dashboard. It could have been so much worse.

Question: Do I email the fic-a-thons I'm in and tell them that I may be a little later, or do I give it another day or two just to see? In theory I could still get everything done before the 11th.
