DST and other stupid things
Mar. 9th, 2008 10:47 am1) Springing ahead sucks and seems to me rather stupid. Especially because not all of my electronics are in tune with DST, thanks to further meddling by the goverment.
2) Fanfic writers who don't bother with continuity. Example: bad, pivotal thing happens in 2006. Story progresses years, but all of the characters continue to reference the "bad thing that happened last year." Come ON, people. If you can't remember basics like that, I suspect you've overwritten your story and should pare it back enough so you can stay on top of these things.
3) I made toast for breakfast. It set off my smoke detector. And, no, I didn't burn it. That's stupid.
4) Reaper on Thursday nights instead of Supernatural reruns. El Stupido.
5) A TV station out here, KONG - sister station to KING - which used to air lovely Canadian dramas on Saturday nights (yes, I have no life) has swapped them out for...infomercials. Stupid for several reasons.
6) The movie House of Wax. Oh, Padalecki, I'm glad you made some money, but I am still embarrassed for you. While I'm at it, I'm stupid for watching the whole, horrifying (not in the intended way) mess. Also, I'm ashamed to admit that now I kind of want to write an SPN fic, in which the boys investigate Madame Carnauba and her wax replicas. ;)
7) The POTUS. And I don't mean the band, but I suppose it's true of them as well. (Millions of peaches, peaches for me. Millions of peaches, peaches for free.)
8) YM spam.
9) Fanfic writers who have a clear favorite character, and basically write the same exact story about her/him over and over. And over. It's cool to have a favorite, but dare to broaden your horizons!
10) Rachael Ray. Okay, maybe she's not stupid. She is, however, annoying.
I'm sure there are lots more. I think I've gone on long enough.
