misscamErr, WTF? Charming, that. Definitely keeping that IP if I should ever match it to something. Fuckwit.
Meanwhile, there's romance novel plagiarism wank at f_w and of course, we get a plagiarism case over at T&C. Feh. I mean, sometimes people get similar ideas and can accidentally write somewhat similarly. But word for word? Bad. Trying to escape word for word accusation by paraphrasing, but still pretty much copying someone's fic in your words without permission, credit or anything? Bad. It's really not that hard to grasp.
(Also, that romance author's title choices makes me want to stab my eyes with something sharp and savage.)
In other 'ugh' news, am I the only one to find 'Dr.Phil' a pompous blowhead? I haven't been watching the whole Britney mess too closely as the media handling of it right now seems just a tad repulsive, but I do somewhat share the opinion that the chick seems to need a bit of help. However, I still want to smack Phil inna face. Dude, a vulture is still a vulture even if he has a deep, 'understanding' voice and his own TV show.
And charmingly, Norway's being threatened, this because we've decided to expell Krekar. Of course, we haven't actually done it since 1) Iraq is a mess 2) We do not send extradite people if they risk being executed, even if they are criminals. My bet? He'll die of old age before we get there. I like him about as much as I like mildew on my feet, but I'd rather have him be an annoyance in Norway than facing torture and execution. But he could STFU harder. It keeps the itching down.
Of course, to make the day perfect, have to deal with most.annoying.guy.ever at work. He's applying for a patent, so kinda have to deal with him, but every time he calls, the whole office goes for cover. Today I've had to talk to him three times, yesterday two, Friday four times and ARGH ARGH ARGH GO AWAAAAAAAY. He always has to share his whole lifestory and can't seem to understand that actually, the world does not revolve around his potenital patent application. And he's quite nasty now and then, which several have complained about. Sigh.
Yeah, today's not the bestest of things. I has a headache.
