public service announcement: Don’t Eat These!

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Yeah, so I work at a store that sells vitamins and stuff, and if you find yourself in such a store at some point this winter looking for some immune boosting, cold-fighting, etc, etc, etc, products, here’s a tip:
DO NOT BUY THE LOZENGES!
A specific kind of lozenges, actually. We just got a new product, […]

How weird? *This* weird.

Monday, August 9th, 2010

How weird do I think it is that Glee has so completely separated their first season into two distinct (and distinctly unequal) parts? Really weird, actually. Not quite as weird as the show, though. I just finished watching up through ‘Sectionals,’ so I think there’s only a few more eps before the […]

“I’m just really stressed about the bake sale.”

Friday, July 30th, 2010

I just watched three episodes of Glee back to back (Wheels, Ballad, Hairography). Loved the co-performance of ‘Imagine’ — it’s nice to see everyone take a moment to step back from their cracked up lives.
You know what I want to see? Puck and Sue Sylvester teaming up for any reason. Preferably in […]

Thursday tv notes (belated)

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

On Glee:
YAY: I finally got to see the episode where Puck sings ‘Sweet Caroline’! Still my favorite Glee song.
WTF: So when Mr. Schuester was trying to get a guy to sing ‘Bust a Move’ at rehearsal, this was his progression: first choice, Finn; second choice, Puck; third choice, ‘I guess there’s no one else […]

Glee rerun: hulu rewatch!

Friday, July 16th, 2010

I slept through the actual airing of the rerun, so I rewatched on hulu.com. For future reference, it was “Throwdown” (aka the one where Will and Sue fight over the Glee club). Things that were hilarious in this episode:
1. Brittany *actually* answering questions on her spanish test with pictures of sombreros.
2. Noah […]

TV is back!

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

My problem with Covert Affairs (aka the new show with the girl from Charmed and the guy from Jake 2.0).
1. It turns out Piper Perabo wasn’t in Charmed. Really? Why did I think she was?
2. I can’t remember the title. Like, I remember it’s two words, and that the first […]

Two Non-Fic Recs

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

This going to bed early thing is for the birds. Seriously. I’m trying to be all conscientious and go to bed early enough so I feel rested and not like I don’t care about anything in the mornings, but that means I have to cram some serious internet time into the evening. […]

The Glee Thoughts I Should Probably Keep To Myself

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the internet, it’s that unless you’re posting cat macros or links to free stuff, you may end up wishing you’d just kept your mouth shut. If there’s a second thing I’ve learned about the internet, it’s that I’m almost always willing to spout off my opinions anyway. […]

Writing SPN fic: it’s a fun-for-all!

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

Lots of fandoms have some kind of “get out of jail free card” that you can use in fics when you need to explain something. A few examples:
Stargate/SGA: it was an Ancient device
due South: it’s an old Inuit method
Harry Potter: it was a spell/a charm/a ritual/spontaneous wandless magic
Doctor Who: it’s a Timelord […]

::sticks tongue out at all work-related complaining::

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

So. I currently work with someone who is, in fact, older than me. I am not unaware of that fact. She has had many life experiences. Elder!wisdom is the new golden years, and I am totally on board with it.
Yeah. Not so much in the other direction, though. I’m […]
