Two web design, one grammar
None of these are new. However, they evidently bear motherfucking repeating.
If you design a website or middleware site, stop making the font be a different iteration of the same fucking colour as the background. I have seen one too fucking many light-grey-on-dark-grey/lavender-on-violet/light-blue-on-dark-grey sites today. Actual contrast is okay.
Additionally! If you are using a middleware site and you are posting to a comm, quit fucking breaking the font overrides I have set. I have set my overrides to generate a page I can fucking read, and you know what? I don't think it's particularly cute when you break my overrides so that your tiny, tiny text can come through in your comm post. Either you've set your screen resolution far too low or you've got the self-esteem of a bug. Knock it the fuck off.
If you wish to use an idiom that contains a homonym in it, you might want to check the idiom. It is "deep-seated", not "deep seeded". It is "spitting image", not "spit and image". This, in particular, pisses me off. I cannot take someone's deep seeded fear seriously, I really can't.

Today, I am going to wash my car. It's been over a year.
This is why I buy gray cars.
I also need to clean it out so that I can a) find my Fall Out Boy tickets and b) put graeae into it. It's getting to the point where there's not even room for me.
I may even vacuum it.
ETA: Apparently, I will be taking a hammer to the fuse box. I have no power in part of my kitchen, and I know why this is. It still pisses me the fuck off - and I really wonder what was being done in the apartment below me to make the fuses blow, but since I have more fuse switches in the off position than I have verified should, in fact, be in the off position, I have no urge at all to just randomly flip switches.
So apparently I get to chase down Every. Single. Fucking. Circuit. in this place before I call the landlady and tell her what's going on. Yay!
