Things that piss you off!

...Whats a puff? o0

The fact that the textures and brushes I made yesterday won't scan, edit and save themselves ;_;

[N2O]

The fact that N2O has a bunch of different pictures in his signature and they all load at different speeds for me.

I just read this today.  If others are bothered by my signature, I'll think of changing it...

[kurandoinu]

Could you not put them together as one image? Not that it hugely bothers me.

And Sunday opening hours piss me off.

Edit: Oh, they move places. I say keep it!

I kinda actually like your sig. And I got a shitty internet speed connection too.

I like the siggy too. Meh. My internet connection is as sucky as any other...

[kitamesume]

its fine, though i dunno about multi-pics on the sig, even if it's combined size (file size and pixel size) is within the single-pic limit.

I hate Puffs with Lotion because they're so oily. So I buy normal Puffs. The problem is, half the fucking time they've ninja'd the boxes and instead of just Puffs they're Puffs with Vicks Vapor Rub-scent bullshit that nearly gags a person. The thing is, that's actually a thing. They're clearly labeled and I specifically buy the plain ones.

SO WHY THE FUCK ARE THE ONES LABELED AS JUST PUFFS ALSO THE VICKS BULLSHIT?!

 
Just buy Kleenex instead.  They're not the same as Puffs but close enough.

Too thin.

Not the same things as Puffs, which is a major brand for facial tissues, like for a runny nose.

The fact that you can never have enough? Or that you don't get enough delicious stuff to eat?

Zack Snyder's Watchmen.

I know it's oft panned by the comic's fans and not so loved generally, but the first time I watched it I could honestly say I didn't hate it. I was drawn into the depiction of this stark and interesting alternate past.

So, I decided to watch it again last night after 2-ish years. It really doesn't hold up, not at all. After the impressive opening sequence I was pretty much bored for 2 hours until it's conclusion. Considering its subject material and the sheer uniqueness its difficult to believe I could be so... apathetic. Now I'm just kind of disillusioned.

I criticize popular entertainment for its dearth of originality, who doesn't these days? Particularly in the big-budget stuff that actually gets through the studios and production process. When I learned of the shelving of Lovecraft's At The Mountains of Madness movie adaptation, based off of studio fears that something without an identifiable love story or happy ending simply couldn't be made, I couldn't help feeling relieved that Del Toro wasn't willing to compromise Lovecraft the way The Haunting 1999 "remake" threw its source material under the bus. It's one of the definitive works in the horror genre and I think a beloved classic by those who can stomach Lovecraft's writing, but obviously cosmic horror tests poorly with audiences, I guess for the same reason Dick keeps getting movie adaptations which undercut the entire message of his works.

Here we have Watchmen, a tragedy satirizing and deconstructing the modern Superhero mythos and American history like Death of Salesman meets Man of Steel, this is something we really haven't seen in theatres, even with Nolan's darker realism or more niche stuff like Kick-Ass. It's just boring,. There are other obvious flaws sure, from a comic fan or movie fan standpoint, and parts which weren't flawed at all, but the overall effect was... "meh."

I just have the feeling that lost opportunities like this lead to increased skepticism in Hollywood that going off their dozen or so formulas is self-defeating,

Napping the whole afternoon today.

I get irritated by all of these speculative history shows that keep popping up on History Channel, Discovery, and others.  I mean, I love a good conspiracy theory or lost land theory as much as the next guy, but I don't actually believe in any of that stuff.  It bugs the shit out of me every time I see some pseudo-scientist on TV claiming to set out to prove some radical idea during the next hour of the program.  And of course they never prove jack shit.  This stuff occasionally makes for entertaining TV but way too many of these programs give too much credence to the wild ideas & stories that people have.

Wow, I feel bad; I do that almost EVERY Sunday.

Fog. Everyone was driving 45 mph in a 70 mph zone because of fog with their emergencies on.

[megido-rev.M]

Fog is not to be trifled with.

I remember watching the bullshit the History Channel was going on about for 2012 and thinking longingly back to the days when I respected their integrity and could fill hours with interesting documentary pieces with people who knew what they were talking about.
