Randoms Thoughts on a Thursday Afternoon

[misscam]

Chicks brags to Fanficrants about review she left and fanfic's consequent removal/yanking. Some people are amused. Some people are not amused. Bonus - wank about Queensland

Random thoughts of the day:

* It's kinda sad when you're making yourself an Amazon wishlist in case you ever win the lottory. So many pretties I want... Yes, I am a shallow child of the consumer generation, thanks for asking.

* Am I the only one who likes to read bad reviews and snerk? (Case in point- Undiscovered - "Not one character has the emotional maturity of an English muffin. If we could harness the intellectual energy of everyone involved in this, we could toast one. Lightly. ") Most of the time, I don't even plan on seeing the movie. I guess this is why I hang at GAFF and is a big old meanie.

* If someone calls RPF 'rape' one more time, I might scream. I don't write or read RPF myself as it often makes me feel vaguely uncomfortable, but I do not like seeing the word 'rape' get thrown lightly about. Nor the word nazi for that matter. Maybe I'm peculiar.

* Catastrophes are very good at taking your mind of your own misery. Maybe that's why we're so fascinated with them.

* Badfic line of the day: "Can all passenger’s that belong to fright number 182 to Toronto, Ontario, please start boarding.

I like that fanficrants wank. Probably 'cause I'm laughing at zelia_theb.

I hereby give a virtual snuggle to anyone remotely involved in the NO disaster, unless they're Bush.

No snuggles for Bush!

Indeed. Have you seen the now infamous "eating cake" piccy? Or his alligator tear from AF1?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

No...

They were on Yahoo earlier, very sorry about the no link ness.

But anyway, while people were dying in New Orleans, Bush was eating a birthday cake with Sen McCain and smiling. He also played a guitar with a presidental seal on it. This was either yesterday or the day before.

He flew over NO in AF1 looking out the window. There's a pic of the SINGLE TEAR.

Not making the best impression, in other words.

[chunkylimes.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

Many are now calling him Marie Antionette and the Nero implication has been done to death.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Ouch.

[chunkylimes.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

hahahahahahaha I read that today. It was boring. ^_^;

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It had some unintentionally amusing lines, though.

I've been called a Grammar Nazi before (or in their case 'grammer' nazi).

You're not peculiar. I understand what you mean.

...but I do not like seeing the word 'rape' get thrown lightly about. Nor the word nazi for that matter.

I don't either, in both cases. And concerning nazis - how uninspired! If you want to give me rassistic names, call me kraut (americans), boche (french) or moffen (dutch). Be creative, folks! *grins*
