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.

3) I'm hoping bitterly that the "there's plenty of big, strong men around here" line was intended by the writers to be every bit as pointed as I construed it to be.

That was such an "ohhhh, snap" moment. I want to keep liking this show, but it's hanging onto my good graces by a thread at this point. And Reid's hairstyle is not tipping the scales for me at all.
