Random Crankiness

[thegrrrl2002]

1. Coffeeshops should serve good coffee. If you're going to serve watered-down crap, don't call yourself a coffeeshop. As a matter of fact, if you're going to serve watered-down good coffee, don't call yourself a coffeeshop. Call yourself a "Brown Water" shop. I really want to patronize small local businesses, but you know, there's a reason why Starbucks is so popular.

2. Sore boobs. PMS would be a little more tolerable if I didn't wake myself up at night every time I rolled over. Because--owie.

3. It's still not time for season 3 of SGA. There's still no promo pics. No spoiler pics. No naked Rodney. Or John. Sitting on my desk. What's up with that?

4. You know that little pull-down menu you use to choose your userpic for the post (on lj's web interface)? The icon descriptions are in alphabetical order, except that all the capitalized letters go first, and then lower case. That is really, really annoying.

5. I have a John/Rodney fic in progress that's not working, but I can't seem to start a new one, either. I'm totally stalled out. Which is pretty common for PMS, actually.

6. But at least I have a fabulous crankypants icon from mmmchelle. It's the best icon ever.

7. And now I'm going to try and install GIMP on my mac here at work, so I can actually get some work done. I'm not fond of macs. Macs are not fond of me. Wish me luck.

I'm sorry for the cranky. But that is an awesome icon.

I don't have PMS breasts, but I do have three brand new claw marks down my right breast. Plus a good sized gash on my middle finger. One should not trip over cat#1 while carrying cat#2. Owww.

*sends hugs and good coffee*

::pets cranky you... tentatively::

The drop down list is really annoying but the other thing is that it's not consistent. If you go through semagic, it's the whole Capitals first thing. If you do a comment, it's alphabetical no matter what.

What is up with that?

OMG, I thought I was the only person who noticed that/found it annoying. It's SO lame. Really, really poor design as far as I'm concerned.

LOVE the icon. :-)

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

You poor thing! Owie!!

I swear cats plot those kinds of things. They specialize in tripping people up. Silly animals.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Exactly! It's all designed to make us utter "Where the fuck is that damn icon!" when trying to post. Because there's no way I'm going to be consistent in my icon labeling.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I know! You'd think they'd keep it consistent. It takes me forever to find my damn icons, especially now that I have a bazillion of them.

Isn't it a fabulous icon? Suits my mood perfectly. Even if I have trouble finding it on my drop-down menu. *g*

[coreopsis.livejournal.com]

big slice of wordpie for #4. I'm constantly annoyed that icon keywords are arranged one way in the drop down menu for comments and a different way in Semagic.

#3 is making me bitter. WTF promo department??

But re: #6, YES. That icon is fantastic!

[alyse]

Well... in a mad, manic fit of 'I'd rather tidy up my icons than my living room' a couple of weeks back, I actually went through and labelled mine by fandom/theme then description.

I am unremittingly sad.

But my Wally and Brain icons are still solo and capitalised, so they show up at the top!

[jackluvsdaniel.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry you're feeling cranky today. PMS will do that though.

I try to ignore the little icon thingie, because I'm anal, and it drives me nuts that they do that. So, I understand.

Oooo, your icon is fabulous. I need one that tells everyone I'm a bitch. *eg*

Hmmm, good luck with the Mac. I work on stupid freaking Macs all day, so i totally sympathize. They hate me too. Kick it once in a while, show it who's boss. Sometimes this works. The rest of the time, well...maybe you shouldn't kick it at all.

[alyse]

OMG, yes! They are masters of the art of lurking with nefarious tripping intent.

And then they have the unmitigated gall to actually howl if you accidentally stand on the tails that were certainly not in the way when you started to put your foot down.

And for some reason these things always seem to happen at the top of a flight of stairs.

Hmmm...

::is suspicious and tries to remember whether the cats are mentioned in the will::

I have no idea what took me so long, but I have just discovered the prettay that is Ronon.

So I love that icon. I must agree that it is the best icon ever.

I need season 2 SGA to come out on DVD and be available to me on Netflix so that I may fully appreciate Ronon. When that happens, I promise to share any naked John or Rodney that comes with the DVDs if you'll share any Ronon. Kaythxbye.

*petting for you* The universe makes no sense sometimes.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

::giggles:: They're always up to no good. They're probably re-written your will.

The tail thing--I love how the slightest amount of pressure from a bare foot results in an ear-splitting screech. And then a wounded look. While you're trying to recover from the heart attack. *g*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

That's not sad, that's smart! It's much more effective than just bitching about it each time, which is what I do. *g*

I really should label mine better--half the time I can't remember what the heck they are!

[drlense.livejournal.com]

Wheeeere are the promo pics??? Where are the spoilers??? I want complete episode descriptions!! We're six weeks out!

I'm going to be very depressed because during last year's premiere we were all together- this year not so much. :(

[shetiger.livejournal.com]

Yes, and of course this causes the other cat (who always pretends to be so tough and intimidating) to freak the fuck out (and leave tread claw marks behind). Woose.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, your icon is great, too! Most Entertaining Knife Placement EVER.

And I keep wondering what the promo pics are going to look like this year. Despite the ridiculous photoshopping and makeup, JF was just so luscious and bashful in his. Still, I'm just hoping they look like real people this time.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the sympathy. *g* I do glare a lot at the computer, but it's been ignoring me. I will admit that OS X is a big improvement over their other operating systems, but still, I'd rather be a on a PC.

Plus, there's something about the way it writes files that I can only fit one ep of SGA per CD, rather than two per CD, like I can at home. Er, not that I download episodes here at work or anything. Nope, not me.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

but I have just discovered the prettay that is Ronon.

What, you were watching eps with your eyes closed? *g*

He is such a pretty thing. He's supposed to be the tough guy, but with those big soft eyes, he's a heck of a lot more. And he has that cool coat! And knives in his hair!!

And his sheer manlyness (manliness?) makes Sheppard extra-dorky by comparison. Sweet!

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

That was fun last year! ::squeezes::

And I'm trying really hard to stay unspoiled, but that doesn't include pics. I'll look at every spoiler pic there is. That's why I like that german site--I can read any of the ep descriptions.

I think TPTB are being very mean to us. ::sulks::

[jackluvsdaniel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm sure glaring doesn't work any better than kicking does. Yes, OS X is much improved, but a Mac is still a Mac. Tempermental pains in the butt they are. *g*

*giggle* You don't tell that I may or may not actually kick my Mac, I won't tell that you may or may not DL episodes at work. Deal? *eg*

[mmmchelle.livejournal.com]

Sweetie!!

//cuddles cranky Grrrl//

I'm glad you're enjoying the icon, although I wish I'd found a better cap for the last frame, or maybe cropped it a little tighter so we could see more of the ass.

I am now hitting the "lets write sex" time of the month. Yours will come, too. I know it will.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I will never hit that time of the month. Neeeeeeverrrr!!!

/whine.

Okay, maybe.

And we need to write TPTB and politely request tight, close-up shots of everyone's ass. Just one per ep, so it won't be obvious. For purely artistic purposes, of course.

[mmmchelle.livejournal.com]

We do.

Hey, it worked for Robin with the strip Daniel site.

DH's ass is so fabulous they could probably shoot it from any angle and it would look good, but I think JF should be bent over something.

And they should have shown us Teyla from behind when she was in that skin tight black outfit she wore to spar with Michael.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

They'll need that special close-up lense for John's ass. And can someone please make him pants that fit? We can't see any damn details.

I agree about Teyla. She has a fabulous backside.

We should also demand equal belly time. For every shot we get of Teyla's lovely belly, John and Rodney have to show their bellies.

[feather-autant.livejournal.com]

Okay, that's just not right! You're cranky, need coffee, and you don't get it? *scowls* Completely unfair. And waking up several times a night means you *need* coffee, dammit. It just does seem to be one of those days, though, doesn't it? ::hugs you:: It won't last. I promise. :) In fact, it'll probably get alllll better in 6 weeks. . .*gg* If we don't all get together and destroy the world before then in a fit a pique, that is. *nods*

I found this on my flist and it gave me a giggle, thought I'd pass it on.

Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road.

As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car.

Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman.

The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a white bag on the seat next to Sally.

"What in bag?" asked the old woman.

Sally looked down at the white bag and said, "It's a box of chocolates. I got it for my husband".

"The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said: "Good trade."
