apocalypsos: (boo praise)
I just pre-ordered these Serenity posters for the spare room.

\o/

My friend Jess keeps making fun of me because I've started calling it the reading room. What? Technically, that's what it's supposed to be. :)

I'm having a slice of the bacon double cheeseburger stuffed pizza I ordered at work the other day for breakfast. It's going to sit in my stomach like a lead balloon, but ... you know, like a yummy lead balloon.

Adrian Pasdar records Masi Oka in Times Square. HEE! That entire cast is just chock full o' dorks, honestly. :)

Tastycake chocolate cupcake ice cream, that's what.

Chocolate ice cream with chocolate icing swirled through it and chocolate cupcake chunks in it. They should just call it exactly what it is -- heaven in a pint container. GAAAAH.

I also added a big hazelnut coffee scented candle and an orange throw blanket to my reading room stash. So, you know, I've got that going for me. :)

So I called my mom to talk and she asked me if I'd watched Good Morning America this morning. (At least, I think that's the show she said.) I said no, so she said that they had on these people who'd posted videos on YouTube of their dissatisfaction about bad customer service they'd gotten. One guy in particular made her laugh if only because he'd recorded himself angrily trashing his laptop after Apple claimed it had spill damage and would cost seven hundred dollars to fix. Hmm, wonder why that sounds familiar? *snickers* (They ended up seeing the video and gave him a new one. Hmph. Maybe I should have done that instead.)

In related news, FedEx picked up my laptop this afternoon. Fixing Dean Jr., Part Two: The Reckoning, now commencing as planned.

I went up to my parents' house to pick up cat food for Otis and ended up talking to my brother for a while. At one point when we were talking about movies we'd seen recently and he said, "Hey, did you ever see Monster Squad?"

At which point I squealed, "DID I?!" and rambled on about how awesome it is and how it only just came out on DVD and how I waaaaants it and that it was the first thing I put on my new Amazon wishlist, and he stared at me like I was deranged. HA! Don't care! :)

(And now that I've been looking at the wishlist again, I think I'm going to go to Target on Thursday and buy these. Pretty!)

So I found the video of that guy my mom mentioned who was on Good Morning America.

And now I want to hit him. A lot.

Look, I spent two whole months arguing with Compaq to get them to fix what was broken. I sent letters, I called them over and over again, I filed a complaint with the BBB. And they finally came around and had me send it in, and gave me an extended warranty to boot.

But apparently I could have just given up after that initial phone call and tossed the computer into a woodchipper. If I'd done that and recorded the fun, I'd be holding a shiny new laptop right now!

*eye roll*

(It doesn't help to see him acting like a dipstick in the comments. Sheesh.)
apocalypsos: (boo tantrum)
Oh, my God, my writer's block is so bad it hurts. I have this insanely bad headache right now and there's no other reason I can think of for it other than that I'm thinking too damn hard about it.

*cries*
