Yesterday, amidst fluffy snow,

infinityduck came over and helped me clean the hell out of my apartment, and there literally was hell involved, as a long time ago a bottle of soy sauce spilled in my fridge and leaked under the bottom drawers and I knew I was going to need reinforcements and moral support for the day I tackled that. And so it was done. And then we had Chinese food.

Anyway, it looks pretty awesome, and I'm very proud, the trick is to not mess it up again. I give me three days.

Tonight is Oscar Night, and I'll be watching it at my parents' house, and I have seen so few of the movies nominated for anything that it's kind of sad. I guess I'll be rooting for my dude Mr. Bale, but I'm ashamed to say I never managed to see "Black Swan." Blargh, I guess it'll be on DVD soon.

WRATH

1. Mayonnaise and yogurt. Seriously. I hate mayonnaise and yogurt more than most earthly things. Especially when they sneak up on you, like how in Japan they put mayonnaise on fucking every sandwich ever. Ugh.

2. Filthy kitchens. This seems to keep coming up, but seriously. Ever since "My Vietnam," it has been an ongoing bane to my existence. I drives me nuts that I have fallen into the same kind of terrible, dish-avoiding trap. I've become what I hate aauuuuugh!

3. A show. Okay several shows. Whatever. A lot of you know what show(s) I'm talking about, and yes my reasons for disliking it/them tend to involve a broken fandom heart, feeling of abandonment, and a lot of sour-grape-y-ness, but hey, I feel what I feel. But many people I care about like these shows very much, and I'm not one for raining on other people's parades, so I just don't talk about it here, or to them. Again, PLEASE NOTE: I am not begrudging anyone for liking something I don't. I'm just throwing out ye olde feelinges, in accordance with memery. Feel free to hate shows that I like too. :F

4. Vomiting scenes. I mean, okay, sometimes they're valid and I've used them in writing and read them and not freaked out, and it's not so bad, but when used unnecessarily or for comedic effect in movies or something? I will avert my eyes at best and at worst, I will never watch said movie. Some movies/shows can and have gotten away with it ("Adventureland" and "House MD," I'm looking at you), but...still.

monkeybobert and I will warn each other away from these things. Vomiting blood is okay, though. I don't really know why that is.

5. The people who yell/whine/mutter/otherwise act like jerks about their minor late fees, about movies not being in when they need them NOW RIGHT NOW, basically customers who suck. Which seems to be an awful lot of them.

6. People whose definition of faith excludes all understanding of other cultures, other forms of spirituality, other beliefs, and who push their faith violently on others, rejecting anything but their own warped truths. And I especially hate it when these people are in positions of power and use it to forward their own small-minded agendas. Why does this sound so familiar, like possibly my own government, hmm...

7. The cost of health care in this country. It's absolutely obscene and there's just nothing fair or logical about it. So many of my friends have suffered because of this, and I've been flat out denied cheaper insurance just because I have an anxiety disorder. Yeah, me and a million other people. And the official who rail against any reforms that could possibly make this situation better for millions of Americans? I hate you too.
