Has decided to start drinking out of the toilet. I couldn't figure out why she was all meowing at me until this morning when I wandered out of the bed and saw her ass up with her head in the commode. She then looked really pissed when I pointed her towards the water bowl.

Must remember to keep the seat down.

Subject: AU Star Trek
Security: Public

So all this Star Trek love going on all over has me thinking...

The entire movie, once you realize that Nero has changed the past is AU... up until the point that they don't travel into the future, stop Romulus from blowing up and make everything happy again.

Nope... they didn't fix things.

This means - ALL the Star Trek we know (except for Enterprise) is now AU - it no longer exists.

Kirk and Spock and the rest of the crew meet WAY earlier than they have, Kirk's Dad is WAY dead, and ALL of friggin' Vulcan is destroyed. No more Vulcan! The Cardassians, the Feringi, all discovered - Nero's ship super-charged Starfleet into stuff because it was so damned advanced. That's why the ship looked different.

This changes pretty much everything in Trek, not to mention the fact that no one on the crew ever meets Spock's Mom - there are now two Spocks

and did I mention Vulcan blew up? Because it did, and with it, everything we once knew as Trek - the ENTIRE 40 years are now AU

Subject: Sam the Blue Eyed Husky with a 100 lives!
Security: Public
Mood:ecstatic ecstatic

So about eight years ago this puppy named Sam wandered into a friend's yard. He had a sign around his collar that said "My name is Sam, please take care of me." Now the friends tried to keep Sam, but he got abused by their dogs and was an unhappy Blue-Eyed Boy. My parents took him in, and Sam was happy, he was just very skinny.

Cut to a few days later and Sam barfs up black plastic. As the folks had only fed him food related items, they took him to the vet, lo and behold, it turns out that Sam liked to eat plastic - to wit, there was an entire garbage bag or three wrapped around his lower intestines - enter the Ru-N-y bypass and Sam could once again eat - although he was a bit finicky.

He liked:

Chicken Soup
Turkey
Bones
Offal
Rudy's Bar B Q
and walks

On one such walk a few years ago he drank from the puddles that were around a construction site... that wasn't too good as he promptly went into kidney failure. Mom's chicken soup and rice (homemade chicken soup) got him out of that.

There was last summer when the folks finally shaved the dogs, leading to the discovery of a cyst on his back that would have killed him...

Anyway, point being, Sam had about 9 lives and went on walks, ate his food when he felt like it, he had something going on neurologically that would occasionally cause him to trip, he had bad arthritis in his back - but still, he loved walking...

Yesterday, he went on a walk, had a treat and wandered away from the porch... Mom and Dad looked all over for him and couldn't find him, they thought he wandered off to die. They found him this morning, curled up at the bottom of the garden, still alive, but not moving.

The vet got him up the hill on a stretcher, got him there, Sam walked a bit. The vet's going to give him some bed rest, steroids and whatnot...

Looks like our boy will live!!

Music:There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)-Eurythmics-Greatest Hits

No, that isn't what you think!

I went to see Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer and Michael McKeon play last night and it was great. It was interesting, because the purpose of the show was to (and follow this one) play songs that they wrote for characters, out of character and as themselves... acoustically. Now what this meant was... Michael and Harry spoke and Christopher played every instrument known to god and man. It was fantastic! They played all the hits, and not hits. Annette O'Toole jammed with the band. There was a rolling cheese contest, singing Legos and the best question ever in the Q & A period.

Am so glad I went out and got some culture. God help me, Wagner is next!

Anyway, working hard, trying to finish some stuff up and listening to Lie to Me as I write.

Is it strange that I'm the only one at the office that uses Hulu?

weirdness.

So am a little confused...

When.

Did it.

Become okay to write a story...

Where every single sentence becomes its very own paragraph/line/whatever.

I mean.

Really?

Seriously?

So while I may not post a great deal (crickets) I do (in my non-existent free time) still read fan fic. Yip, I am a proud member of the "if you don't agree with what they are doing on television or whatever, write it yourself or find someone who writes better than you to fix the entire thing."

Anyway, there I was, trolling around the Pit, and lo and behold an author who I kinda liked has written something new. This was an author who'd I'd made notice of, kinda liked the first story she wrote, she had a pretty memorable nick, and the one major complaint about the story that I had was that she had an unfortunate tendency to want to end every chapter on an OMG!CliffHanger! and a very strange want to make Grissom into a dog.

Okay, but that part worked!!!

Anyway...

She'd gone off and written some more stories, some I liked, one was given up completely due to people being OMG!Mean! and one that I actually enjoyed due to the really strange way she was trying to do a Dom/Slave relationship (I think) and ended up sounding more like Miss Manners. So on to the next thing, she wrote something new.

And it was a complete disaster. There was gnashing and bashing and muteness and head banging and while I took Grissom as a dog, I completely didn't buy the mute, headbashing in grief version that she was giving me.

Nope - not at all

So I wrote a comment in the reviews section, while extolling the virtues of the hurt/comfort story, I basically laid it out as to why I thought her story totally didn't work. Yes, I wrote a negative review, not a flame, just a negative review.

So I got a response which amounted to: That happened to me, stop reading my stuff.

So while there really isn't a response to "that happened to me" other than to respond, maybe the story would be better served than in trying to force it down the throat of a character until its so OOC that vomit comes spewing out, the stop reading thing got me a little more than peeved.

I mean "stop reading?"

Bite me

I've been reading, I've been reading since I was two and a half.

I read everything.

If I can read Snape and an owl I can read friggin' het.

Tyson was kinda excited he got called out.

So the Mother has been looking all over for her Obama/Biden Lawn Sign.... I mean everywhere. She's been going nutty for it. Turns out the Father (on the way to Big Bend) admits to trashing it (literally thowing it away). He might have voted for Obama but he sure has hell isn't going to advertise it. Mumsie makes him turn the car around, digs it out of the trash, unbends it and replants the sucker.

GO MOM!

So yeah - this is not about voting...

Anyhoo - so I was reading this story and it was pretty good and around 20 chapters ago (its over 30 or so now, see second part of rant) and it just started to get totally preposterous. I mean... seriously. Each chapter ends on either throbbing members (one of my all time hated terms) or on some ridiculous cliffhanger that I assume is supposed to be TOTALLY awesome but ends up being more and more insane. Its just getting overly bad.

And what is with authors who write (no, I'm not calling it a fic, the damn thing is a story) having some insane aversion to writing chapters that make sense. I'm tired of reading some 'chapter' that's like 500 words long, divided into one sentence paragraphs that are called chappys and don't go anywhere. I'm tired of WIPs being posted. I'm tired of some author going, 'its done! but I'm only posting 1 part per day.' I mean, the thing is finished, post the whole thing.

I'm tired of authors going, I'm not getting enough feedback so I'm abandoning the entire story. I'm tired of readers going.... BUT NOOOOOOOOO! Its my favoritist story of ALLLLLLL time! You must finish.

I'm hating the current trend of writing some bizarre AU that just reads like a harlequin romance novel, that takes place in 1840's England on a cliffside.

I'm tired of 40 and 50 year old virgins.

I'm tired of badly written sex scenes that involve 'mounting members madly moving.'

And did I mention the crapola day at the office?

Growl
