The State of the Cleo

I am not doing so well today. Well--it's funny, I actually feel really good in writing/working terms. Even though the recap of the new Twilight book ate up two days of my life, I feel a sense of accomplishment akin to the glow you get from a really good workout. I feel limber, in other words. Which is good for getting back to gainful employment. I' ( Read more... )

For the record, I didn't think you were overreacting to the redheadedness thing. While my brain did jam when I read that bit in the book, it is, as you say, more entertaining to flip a little than to just be like, "Oh well that's odd." *shrug* Just my two cents so you don't feel self-conscious or anything.

psst -- tiny, nit-picky thing. Nigerians are from Nigeria. Nigeriens are from Niger. :)

Ah! "Nigerians" was the word she used, so I didn't notice. I'll go change that.

I wasn't aware of that either, so thank you for letting me know.

Goats make everything better. Especially if they're those awesome fainting ones.

I think most stores have a policy that if people try to return stuff, it either goes back on the card that they used, or on a home depot gift card, which doesn't do them any more good than buying the stuff outright with the stolen card numbers. I'm not sure that's any comfort at all, but at least the thieves might not have an easy time making money.

If you can get a store credit/gift card, you can sell those on ebay

(I handled returns for $Corporate_Bookstore and I kept asking "but why would anyone do that?" and now I think of ways to scam return policies and I feel dirty)

The redhead thing made me meltdown because of the inconsistency. The rocking chair and baby imprinting were fucked, but completely in line with SMeyer's brand of crazy. But to be five books and three movies into your outrageously successful, wildly popular series, and then suddenly change the hair color of the sparkly dream man of literally millions of women around the world? That takes it past crazy and into incomprehensible.
