owlectomy1) Are you ever really irritated by a novel for a number of narrative and thematic reasons, and then you realize that the author has mixed up "infer" and "imply" and that's absolutely the last straw and I DON'T KNOW HOW AUTHORS DON'T KNOW THESE THINGS? (Ron Paul did the same thing when he was talking about how heroin should be legal, and I was just as irritated by that, but it's not like words are his JOB.)
2) I made lentil soup! The recipe in Veganomicon, very simple and good. I love it when my house smells like onions. Is there a scented candle that smells like cooking onions? Then I won't actually have to cook.
3) After 44 straight losses, I finally eked out a win against the AI on Go Free for Android (13x13 board, difficulty 2.) I wanted to dance around! But I was on the bus.
4) It's kind of excruciating to read a book where 13-year-old boys have their worst selves on display. If I wanted to hear people call each other gay and retarded, I can go to my JOB. EVERY DAY. (I do my best at shutting it down when I hear it. "Gay" is hard though because it's not like it's a Forbidden Word, it's just not a word you should use as an all-purpose insult, and it is hard to convey those nuances when you're yelling over the din of the children's room.)
