no one wants to see a lumberjack dance the cooch

Pet peeve time!

1) If you do not run your fic by a beta, please do not announce it in your author's note. What's the point? I can't imagine it's going to get you any readers.

2) PHASE vs. FAZE, omg. You go through a phase. You may be fazed by it. I see this mistake so often I almost started to doubt myself.

3) Criminal Minds, you're already on my bad side for what you're doing to JJ and Prentiss. Can you at least throw me a bone and make Garcia's lipstick a little less garish? I'm trying to find something to be pleased with, but you're really making me work for it.

4) Glee, Jacob Ben Israel is expendable and don't you forget it.

5) Inception, it really kind of irks me that every main character except Yusuf gets one of those big nifty mosaic-framed promo shots. Or if he did get one, I've certainly never seen it. Chubby brown guys need to get repped, too.

...hi, I'm a little cranky. I think I'll go finish S1 of Carnivale.

Hi, I'm anxious for no good reason. Wanna hang out?

[recrudescence.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, excellent! I can...grouse at you and then you can relieve some anxiety by knocking a little sense into me? This is potentially fabulous.

...ohai, also, I'm going to attempt banana bread tomorrow (or the day after, depending on the state of the bananas). This is one of maybe three things I can competently make from scratch, so I'm hoping I don't screw it up.

That seems to be how things go for a lot of conversations I have. I should hire myself out as a professional mood booster.

Banana bread's an excellent thing to make! I've done it a couple of times. You could be adventurous and throw in bits of dried fruit, or a few peanut-butter chips.

At least then the extra income might help your mood and you'd get a little something back. Or maybe you just need friends who talk about rabbits and rainbows a little more often.

I was thinking maybe cinnamon, just to make it a little more autumnal. I'm in this stage where I want to eat pumpkin-spice EVERYTHING, only I'm not sure ginger would fare so well in banana bread.

Tonight's just one of those free-floating anxiety phases that I get every so often which come out of nowhere and always seem strange the next morning. If I had my CDs with me, I'd put on Rubber Soul or something.

Okay, maybe not nowhere: I'm a little disappointed at the people who claimed my Big Bang pieces for mixes and art, and I'm frustrated that the dryer didn't get my pants fully dried out. I'll see about an episode of Frasier or something. Or bunnies.

Dried cherries aren't exactly seasonal, but would go with the bananas, and also mace or allspice.

Ah, that's lousy, when little things crop up like that and sort of coagulate into a bad mood. Still, if kicking back with something nice and low-maintenance is really the best medicine, no reason to fight it. I'm either going to polish off Carnivale or just try and go to bed.

I remembered I have some feel-good Mike Doughty music on here - "I Just Want The Girl In The Blue Dress To Keep On Dancing" always perks me up - and now I'm looking at blue dresses on Etsy. I might move to Title Nine in a bit. Worrying about finding a dress I like is about the most maintenance I want right now.

And I'm cuddling my bunny (http://www.peacetoys.com/The-Foundling-Collection/Foundling-Bunny.html), which always helps.
