It's been sunny and about fifty degrees the past couple of days and I've had to sleep through it. This sucks. With my luck, as soon as I get off work for my four-day weekend tomorrow, we'll get five feet of snow dumped on us. *grumbles*

And just for kicks, last night at work I got yelled at for something that was a simple miscommunication by two people who really just wanted to yell at one another and wouldn't have yelled at me in the first place if they'd bothered to ask me my side of the story before they went off. *headdesk* Oh, yeah, I definitely need a weekend like I need to lick cheesecake off Jensen Ackles's chest. (... what? What'd I say?)

[livejournal.com profile] unanon brought up a fannish Firefly pet peeve she has, and OMG YES. I'm so right there with that on River referring herself in the third person. I love River fic like crazy (seems fair) and River/Jayne is my other favorite pairing on there (Zoe/Wash being the other one), but the constant "she" and "that girl" drive me up a wall. As someone pointed out over there, she did it once in "Objects in Space" and that was mostly a comeback to Mal, who said, "Does she understand that?" like she wasn't even standing there. It's not like it's a common verbal tic of hers or anything.

And another thing that drives me batty (although I haven't see it much, thank God) is Crazy!River fic that comes after Serenity. Dude, seriously, she's all right. She said she's all right. After she said she was all right, she didn't do anything to indicate she wasn't all right. Hell, in the pilot's chair she was downright lucid, and you can't tell me Mal would let Crazy!River fly his gorram ship.

Don't mind me. Once it was said out loud by someone else, it just set me right the hell off.

Somebody suggest some good music with a beat you can dance or exercise to. I really need some new music. Pleeeeeeease? *bats eyelashes at friends list* ;)

Today's fic rec ...

Happy Hanukah, Veronica, by [livejournal.com profile] haleyj_the_bat (Veronica Mars, Veronica/Logan) -- Occurring around the events of the last episode, Veronica starts receiving small meaningful gifts at her door. Sweet, thoughtful, and in the end really freaking hot. It almost made me late for work just trying to finish reading it. :)

I so agree on the River!fic pet peeves. Totally. Know what else though? The copious ammounts of Rayne baby!fic. Most of it's really cheesy and out of character and makes my brain HURT. Blah.

The babyfic is so bad. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's noticed that trend.

OMG yes. Brain = ded when babyfic happens with that pairing.

Now copious ass-kicking, yes! Scary-brilliant genius babies for Jayne to get OOC gushy with? Please God no.

Now, if they somehow managed to pull off Jayne's character realisitically interacting with his offspringand actually evolving the character...maybe. Otherwise...uhpleasegodno.

It's the so out of character mommy and daddy-ness of rayne and the angelic 5 year olds in them that bother me more...heh.
