Irritation

[oyceter]

I am supremely irritable today. Therefore I shall make a nice numbered list of all the things that are currently annoying me so I can mull upon them in an organized fashion.

1. Either a) my dry cleaner has shrunk my pants (again), which means a) I shall have to find another dry cleaner b) I have gained weight so my pants no longer sit as low as they did or c) my pant legs have always been this short but I never noticed with boots on. None of these options makes me happy. C) is probably the best bet, but I am still irritated by the inches of bare leg that now show when I sit down.


2. Six billion urgent things to deal with keep popping up at work so I can't concentrate on my projects.


3. It looks like it will rain. Again. In the middle of June. In California.


4. The Inside made me really sporky and now I am grumpy again because why does it seem so hard to find a good TV show with strong female characters?


5. The LJ team has implemented tags, which are a good idea. However, they do not work with S1, and I am lazy and don't want to figure out how to re-implement all my custom layouts in S2. I am also lazy and don't want to go through 1000+ entries and recategorize all of them. I may just hold off and wait until someone miraculously comes up with a system that allows you to tag your entries and then automatically uses those tags to update Memories. While I am wishing for the moon, I also want a system that retroactively tags everything via Memories categories.


6. I bought a new wireless card for the little portable laptop my dad gave me from his office, but even though the card works, I still can't get on the internet or my home network, so I still can't do LJ from the couch, which is all I really want. Ok, now I'm just sounding whiny, because having the extra laptop is happy. But useless if I can't go online with it

Yes, it is odd to think...hmmm...are the strongest female characters I'm currently watching anatomically impossible cartoons.

Oh, well, at least they have super powers and kick the prosteriors mightily.

Hey, nothin' wrong with anatomically impossible cartoons! ;)

Plus, posterior kicking is always a good thing. Oh well. I got my jones watching Angelina Jolie blowing things up in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, muhahahaha.

I second your weather grumble, with feeling. The last few summers we've had have been so cold (at least up here in Oakland), and I was beginning to feel optimistic that this one might be a bit warmer and less overcast. *sigh*

And Accuweather can't seem to get its predictions straight. "It's going to rain over the weekend!.... or maybe not... or maybe it will!.... or maybe it'll just be chilly and overcast.... how about rain?.... or not..." Gaaahhhh.

Hee, yes!

On the bright side, it means I don't have to think about watering my plants or washing my car for another week or so *hums "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"*

I think I'm going to give up on the weather and just expect rain every week. So, so strange.
