Fanfic writers
I'm not exactly the most critical of fanfic readers - I'm really not. Yeah, if the grammar or spelling is especially atrocious, I'll stop reading, but for the most part, I'm pretty forgiving. However, if you have your main character crush his pelvis and fracture both legs (and even say that it's going to be a long recovery) and then have him ( Read more... ) -
Napping
Don't you hate it when napping screws up your sleep schedule for the night? I've got a game tomorrow morning and because I took that nap I'm not tired, even though it's 2:30am. Instead of sleeping, I'm thinking about what I should do differently in the next game and wondering if I'm paired up on D with Lil just so the coach could write "Lil Kim" ( Read more... ) -

I really need a snow day to happen tomorrow. -
Occupy Tent City
Okay, so the Occupy St. Louis people were cleared from Kiener Plaza, and unfortunately, it seems like anywhere that I talk about it, the whole discussion degrades into a list of why I'm a bad person. So, here I am to get the whole thing out of my system without being flamed.

More than you care to read... I blame the caffeine
I know that Livejournal is a bit of a ghost town, but only a handful of people here know me in real life, and none of them are coworkers. So, I thought this would be a more appropriate place to go on a long tangent than Facebook ( Read more... ) -
I'm such an infant...
So, I'm grading tests for money (again), and it's all done online. In an effort to make sure that all the scorers are scoring accurately, every, say, 50 papers or so (other companies do it every 10), there is a test paper, which gauges your mad grading skills. On my grading screen, I have a stat for my daily and cumulative grading proficiency. ( Read more... ) -
Random Post
So, my sleep schedule is all screwed up, because I took a nap a few hours before bedtime. That's no surprise there. However, because I woke up, awake, at 12:30, I decided to finish one library book (I was almost done), and start on an Alan Arkin memoir that I'd just picked up ( Read more... ) -
Hamlet
I saw Hamlet (Rory Kinnear - stage show live/tape-delayed from England) once again today, and I must say that THAT show is worthy of some fanfic treatment. I'll even take Hamlet/Horatio slash. :-) I know what I'm going to look for when I get home for good tonight! It's a good thing that they don't release stage Hamlets on DVD that often. I ( Read more... ) -
Biggest cause of conflict
It sounds paranoid, but I think that the biggest cause of conflict is when someone takes offense to something and never tells the offended what they did (They should know!) or how to fix things. Maybe the offended automatically assumes the offender is a jerk of some sort. We're all guilty of being on both sides at one time or another, but really ( Read more... ) -
One thing I hate about going out with a group...
So, my sister was in town, as was her boyfriend and his parents (It was a Cardinals thing). That's all fine and good, but we went to a restaurant and they didn't split the check. At first, I though that maybe his parents were paying for it - since they didn't ask for a split and no one made a deal of it. But then the others put in some money, ( Read more... )
