Lists-a-go-go.
Things making me happy:
-- Peach cobbler.
-- Using the suffix "-a-go-go", which edges out "-arama" in the Best Suffix Playoffs.
-- Finally taking the time to wash/vacuum my car. Also finally taking the time to clean out my fridge.
-- Rewatching Conchords clips ad infinitum.
-- The greasemonkey plugin that adds "?style=mine" to most LJ links. I'm all about the plain white pages.
-- A promo pic from Spike Jonze's adapation of Where the Wild Things Are. He's the only one I'd trust with it.
-- dionusia wrote me a gorgeous platonic K/L fic set during "The Passage". Go read Falling, and tell her she's awesome.
Things annoying me:
-- Not learning my lesson about eating fries and burgers. Third bad stomachache in less than a week. NO MORE.
-- Some jackass at the car wash playing VERY LOUD MUSIC. So loud that I could clearly hear the lyrics over ten of those vacuum machines.
-- Running errands and coming home... without buying the one thing that was the purpose of the whole trip. Had to go back to the store. Ugh.
-- A creditor mistakenly thinking I owe them money, so their recordings dial my cellphone every hour on the hour.
-- According to someone on the TWOP boards, the Bionic producers (probably the NBC suits) are recasting Mae (Egg? Who?) Whitman with some teenaged hottie. Bastards!
-- My favorite mani-pedi salon raised their rates and replaced the massage chairs with inferior ones. Hmph. Y'all ain't touchin' my feet no more!
Things confusing me:
-- One of the most hilarious lines in the Conchords song "It's Business Time" is about the guy saying his girlfriend knows it's naughty time when he's down to his socks; however, I seldom read smutfic in which men take the time to remove them. So, are most fictional males (and some women) going sockless? Or is sock-removal considered so unsexy and absurd that most writers just ignore it? Hey, it's an important question!
-- How often should one wash towels? I usually do it once a week -- though, in my defense, I rotate among two sets: one for my hair, one for the rest, so it's not like I'm using the same ratty towel for seven straight days. But I recently saw someone say they only use their towels once or twice before laundering them. Hmm. Maybe I'm just a slob?
-- Why don't more fast-food and takeout places serve Diet Dr. Pepper? I'd order the damn value meal if you had my beverage obsession, people!
-- I rented Hard Candy. Patrick Wilson is so very hot. Why does he play so many pervs? Then again, he's also hot in non-pervy roles, so I guess that's something.
-- I got fried okra with my lunch takeout, but I put it in the fridge. Now it's soggy. Could I crisp it up by sticking it in the oven for a few minutes, or would that dry out the okra?
-- Summer vacation is nine weeks long? Why does it feel so damn short? :(
