My current pet peeve: reading other people's reaction posts, only to find that they're parroting a third party. I don't mean reading a post and finding that there is a consensus on a show/episode/whatever. I mean, reading a post and finding that a person has made an 'intelligent' report/analysis/commentary on something they've seen which directly echoes (in terms of theme and language) what someone (more 'popular' in LJ terms) has said elsewhere in the hopes that people reading it will think they are clever and tuned in. I fucking HATE this. It makes you sound so false, not to mention stupid. It's plagiarism, too, of an intellectual variety. And I also hate it because it's boring and mostly unimaginatively hidden - an extra thought added in parentheses decrying what's been said as possibly misleading or incorrect! Oh my, no, you're not wrong at all! HOW INSIGHTFUL. Especially as the rest of the post is insta-reaction or a rehash of your personal issues disguised as a fandom trope.

UGH. HATE. STFU.

I watched a lot of stuff today but none of it has inspired me to make posts of my own. In case you didn't already know, I'm 100% in love with Emily Prentiss, and also LOL CSI: NY what the fuck is the matter with you? Fringe was passable this week; I haven't seen Supernatural, and I took an hour an a half out of my day to watch The September Issue which I'll be watching again in the car tomorrow, fuck yes.

Blah, blah, blah &c. I need to rewatch NCIS.

Oh man, I was so excited earlier today! I had THINGS to say! And now I'm filled with ennui. I wish I had frozen the last CapriSun. SIGH.

OH MAN. Can I get a big motherfucking WORD re: your current pet peeve?

I actually watched only her scenes in the premiere episode. She's gorgeous by the way.

I want to see The September Issue so badly. Is Anna that much of a bitch in celluloid as she is on the pages?

Your pet peeve - YES, times a hundred when it's fic. Usually I can be understanding of it but today I am feeling particularly cranky.

(I hope you feel better now, post-rant. I do!)
