Bad. Awful. Needless.

Perhaps I will feel differently in January, but right now I actually do want everyone to die.

Dearest Supernatural,

I don't know if I can watch you tonight. Granted, I only started to watch you this summer, but it was a beautiful and fantastic summer of awesomeness that I will never regret. I know that you and your writers have some deep issues with females, not to mention your mostly female fandom has exceptionally screwed up issues with wish-fulfillment leading to more misogyny than normal, but for whatever reason I have been able to overlook this stupidity up until today.

Because I had a feeling you were going to do something so insanely irritating, I went and spoiled myself. Something I never do for you. Never, show. That's how much I like you. And what have you done? You fucking killed off Jo and Ellen. Seriously? Can vaginas not win with you ever?

I kind of hope everyone dies now.

No love,
Me

I am going to proceed to NOT WATCH NEW MOON.

Although I did see that Burger King commercial today that implies everyone on the planet is either on Team Jacob or Team Edward, which amused and horrified me all at once. Where are the representatives for Team Both Options Suck, Team Oblivious and Team LOL!, Burger King?

(Coincidentally, it still amuses me that my review for Eclipse has been continuously spotlighted by Amazon for, oh, two years and three months. Is it because I am an awesome reviewer, or because I am just awesome?)

You know, I would have seen 2012 in the theatre if they had actually gotten on spaceships at the end. Because I am totally there for a movie that ends so horribly we all have to jump ship and go ruthlessly colonize another planet after drifting aimlessly through space as a displaced species for an unspecified number of generations.

Instead it ends in giant boats, despite the planet supposedly melting in a scenario that can only end in certain doom?

Boo.

New computer!  MacBook Pro.  It is beautiful.  I am thoroughly enchanted.

So that whole pen & paper versus word processor discussion? I wound up deleting everything I wrote on paper last night and spewed the whole story out on the computer.

The computer and I are friends. Sometimes we just don't talk for awkward periods of time.

The DVR arrived last night, and my parents managed to make it work without my help. So when I got home a recording of Glee was waiting for me. Crisis averted, people! Also, this means I do not have to weep with dissatisfaction tonight, because Supernatural will record and it will all be okay.

Also in terms of mail, the beautiful steampunk necklace I ordered off of Etsy arrived this morning.  I could not help myself, and decided to wear it to work despite the fact that it is far too beautiful for work.  Or maybe it isn't.  Whatever.  I am wearing it and it makes me feel giddy to have it, damn it.

For the longest time, I convinced myself that I didn't have the patience to write without a word processor at my immediate disposal. Today the legal pad and nondescript blue pen proved me wrong. Damn.

So, um, I just repeatedly viewed about five seconds worth of an episode of Supernatural, in which Jensen Ackles says my first name correctly a grand total of twice. I am not ashamed!

Really, I am not.

Celebratory beer!

No, really!

(Not on the south side, though. I do have to work tomorrow.)

Stolen from [info]musesfool . Name your 15 absolutely favorite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms.

1. Brad/Ashleigh (Thoroughbred)
2. Jackson/Lisa (Red Eye)
3. Ororo/Logan (X-Men)
4. Buffy/Spike (BtVS)
5. Jackie/Hyde (That 70s Show)
6. Noel/Felicity (Felicity)
7. Guy/Marian (Robin Hood)
8. Alec/Max (Dark Angel)
9. Jack/Liz (30 Rock)
10. Mal/Inara (Firefly)
11. Elizabeth/Norrington (PotC)
12. Matt/Julie (FNL)
13. RJ/Dani (Wildfire)
14. Aragorn/Eowyn (LotR)
15. Brady/Chloe (DooL)

Bonuses!
16. Sydney/Vaughn (Alias)
17. Aeryn/John (Farscape)

Yeah, no one needs to actually point out most of the trends here.  Although you can if you can't help yourself.  I see one major one that does not surprise me at all.  (Also, how many of these were doomed if they even existed in canon?  Eight?  Nine?  God, that is depressing.  This is a depressing meme!)

I kind of didn't expect you to go the Robin of Sherwood route, but it is awesome and hilarious anyway!  I might be giggling with glee right now.  *quietly giggles with glee*

Today, I didn't have much to do.  So I amused myself with this for a while until I got what I wanted out of it.  I think I succeeded.  

Despite nearly dying, this was the best Christmas ever! )

...or rather my sister's dreamworld has spoken. Rachel Alexandra will come in fourth in the Preakness today. I find it interesting that she does not know who wins the race, therefore I conclude that Rachel Alexandra will actually come in first.

Warm weather = walking down the stairs to the basement and nearly running into a giant spider that has decided to suspend itself in midair at the base of the stairs.  Sometimes I hate nature.

Renewed!  For two more seasons!  I would have been happy with one, but two!  There are not enough exclamation points to express my glee!

So I opened up my e-mail and was greeted by this message from Anthropologie:
