When I read something and several days later I'm still irritated about it, it's time to vent. So here goes. I was scanning my Tumblr dash and political blog that I follow (and have a love/hate relationship with, but that's a different issue) when a post came up that started with, "Personally, I never feel more superior than when I see someone ( Read more... )

I'm going to indulge in a (not-so) brief Looney Tunes rant. I know, of all the things, right? But a link to this article popped up into my internet sphere yesterday and I've been stewing over it ever since. As a disclaimer, I've only briefly watched the new Looney Tunes series, but somehow in my brief forays into reliving that particular aspect of ( Read more... )

Zack Snyder and how he's become the example of everything I'm hating about Hollywood. You voted, here's the rant. It's a little scattered because I'm feverish and have been for the better part of the week, but... it wasn't going to be that cohesive to begin with.

( They also have a serious case of amnesia because I bet they read that book as a child and they haven't become Nazi KKK members yet. Well, at least we hope not, right? )

...but if you try to, you might just make them all mad instead.

( In a knee-jerk reaction to prevent a feared tirade of rape-apologist comments, they created a tsunami of pandering accusations and charges of hypocrisy. )

( In which Dawn calls bullshit on CNN and gives you ten points to try and earn her the ranting part of this username. Abortion triggers if you have those. )

If the light is red, STOP. Especially if you're an F-150 Ford truck and I'm a wee little Scion xA. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love having my ENTIRE FRONT BUMPER knocked off, stopping traffic, missing HOURS of work and having to deal with tow trucks, insurance agencies and cops ( Read more... )

So, I love the cats. Love them dearly except for one thing. They are morning cats. I am a night human. This is cause for any number of muttered curses and and inhuman utterances that escape me during the block of time just before my alarm goes off that they decide it's time to play tag ( Read more... )
