Is it part of Murphy's Law that the coffee machine will inevitably be out of order on the days I most need caffeine?

Snagged from transtempts:

Reply with a character or pairing I'm familiar with and I'll write a few sentences of fic.

Apparently preordering, on Amazon, does not mean that they will make sure they have the ordered item on the day of release. That would be far too easy.

Instead I get an e-mail telling me they're having trouble getting their hands on it. Not quite as fulfilling.

I want my copy of The Shadow's Return, damnit. Now.

So there was a fire at the bar tonight ( Read more... )

Sometimes, I want to let the Midnighter out on some very specific people.

Right now is one of these times.

I am so. Sorry. For all of you that are stranded out there. I'd send many hugs, but like that would help any. Hell, I'll send them anyway. *sends hugs*

So. Lively day today.

I get woken up by Joey brandishing an envelope under my nose. "Can you open it 'cause it's addressed to you but I think it's from England and it's the con tickets?" Indeed, people. We have our Serenity Cubed tickets! 137, 138, and 139 are us. Into the meet-and-greet. Feel free to celebrate! And burn a candle, say a little ( Read more... )

Fuck, why is there so much hatred in the world again? khohen1 linked to this vid, and I expected to rejoice in seeing a reporter (let alone a Fox News reporter!) tear into one of those fucking anti-gay protesters.

First off, the clubbing went great. I had tons of fun, and danced like crazy, and saw some people I hadn't seen in for-bloody-ever. And the outfit rocked. Thanks for the help, flist. And then I came home and collapsed very quickly. I'm constantly exhausted these days, it's sad.

Then. gabby_silang is coming to visit!!! I almost want to be mixing a few "1"s to ( Read more... )

This is our civilisation's unhealthy refusal of death at its best. How many testimonies have I heard on the news this last couple of days, of people who by their own admission can't accept it? Regardless of what I think of John Paul II's bloody stupid policies (not thinking of condoms, not thinking of condoms), I think that it's high time to let go ( Read more... )

Not only are the IT guys being a real pain by upgrading those filters with ridiculous notions (why oh why should IMDb be banned?) and trying to make sure we cannot check our e-mail, but they're also unable to do their bloody jobs! Yesterday Internet was down right when I was about to buy my plane tickets for Easter, and now it's down all over again ( Read more... )
