My senior at work just came in and said my groupmate and I match. He is wearing a cranberry shirt, and I am wearing a faded plum shirt. She must be colorblind. It annoys me when people think different things are the same. I once was accused of uploading the same image under two filenames to an imageserv on IRC. They were similar shots, but they were DEFINITELY two different ones.

QOTD: What annoys you?

Reading that subject line aloud sounds like the Twin Peaks dwarf.

I almost got hit by a truck last night. That was annoying.

Last night I went to see this comedy troupe called "Master Pancake Theater", which rose from the ashes of a group called "Mr. Sinus Theater", which totally was a ripoff of Mystery Science Theater 3000. I'd seen Mr. Sinus Theater before, and they were very funny. But the Master Pancake Theater was not. I mean, they were okay, I guess, but I laughed (really laughed) like 10 times. That's not enough.

I am annoyed by unfunny sketch comedy/improv comedy. It shouldn't be enough that someone worked really hard on jokes, or that they took alot of classes on improv. I mean, those things are great, don't get me wrong. People should work on their craft and whatnot. But damn, shouldn't you have to be funny to be in a comedy troupe? Yes, yes you should.

Typos. Words spelled incorrectly. Working for a low-rent printer, I see a lot of them.

It does distract me from the poorly constructed files, though.

Give a person a computer and they think they're a designer. Save me from all the infernal sow's ears out there.

Lack of anti-aliasing FTW!

My two biggest grammatical peeves are mishomonyms and catapostrophes--the worst is the intersection of the two: "This is you're birthday!" and "I gave the dog it's food." *shudder* I don't mind missing apostrophes though; if there is no incorrect meaning being expressed by the lack of apostrophe, I don't feel it causes much harm, just like a lack of capitalization.

Today was my first official day at college! I'm in the BA of English Literature program, so I have a lot of English classes this semester. I look forward to this year, since I have no Math courses. I'm also in a philosophy course.

QOTD: On the topic of grammar, it annoys me when people get 'there, their and they're' confused. It just seems so obvious.
I also hate it when people smoke at Disneyland with all the little kids around.

qotd:
1. People that get bothered by little mistakes of others
2. People that don't think unfunny things are funny
3. Grammar Nazi's
4. People that don't like other peoples kids inhaling second hand smoke
I'm sure there are more.

Lots of things annoy me. Just looking around the room... my office chair, my broken "enter" key on my keyboard, the trash can having to be just a few feet out of reach, people forgetting to pass things to you when it is your turn (:roll:), most people in general but more so the stupid ones, my fucking arms, spelling OK "OK" instead of "okay" (which I like even though it's supposed to be "OK", but its okay), having to stop what I'm doing to go to the bathroom, the hole in my floor, my entire trailer, the ants, the phones, a guitar string breaking, having to tune my guitar, the cat still jumping in my lap even though I just threw him across the room, the overhead light switch not working, etc, etc, etc, etc....

oh, and that all I have to mention here about my day was that I dictated all 30,000+ keystrokes to two different guys today at work, so this here is pretty much my first typing of the day and the fact that it has to be that way.

First day back with students. My classroom was totally gutted and refurbished over the summer, so it's a pretty cherry science classroom.

QOTD - What bugs me? "Nukuler" - bugs the daylights out of me.

I'm with you on that. Good thinking. I'm definitely annoyed by that every time I hear it. It ought to be grounds for impeachment. Add that to the "high crimes" list.

Also, the word "song" in a song title usually pisses me off. Of course it's a song, you idiot. I know, because it's on your album. You didn't have to designate all the other ones as such. What makes this one so special? The exception is if the song is actually about songs. Then that's alright.

Oh, and Colin Meloy's voice. Good God. I don't even think annoying voices are that annoying. I have all these bitchy friends that don't want to hear Rush because "Geddy Lee is whiny," or something, or make some awful blanket statement like, "I don't like chick voices," so I'm deprived of my Tegan and Sara in certain company. I just don't usually complain. I was showing a friend the Crane Wife, and by the time he started singing on the second track, he was just like, "This has to stop." And I really couldn't argue. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't so obviously deliberate. It's just like, "Wake up. You're not a sailor." His falsetto is pretty, though. Because it's not so forced and awful. Everything just HAS to be nautical with you, doesn't it?

Oh, and speaking of. People that won't listen to certain music because of the singer. It's ridiculous. Unless they're off pitch all the time. The only bad singer is one who doesn't produce the correct notes. I don't make a point to not listen to the Decemberists, as much as they deserve it for deciding to form a band around Colin Meloy. I was just saying, it's a little more understandable with them.

I'm reminded of that one part of Goldmember, where Nigel Powers lists his two pet peeves as, "People who are intolerant of other peoples' cultures, and the Dutch!"

For the answer to that - just refer to any of my previous 2669 comments. They are all pretty much complaining about something.

Our Prime Minister made fun of an Opposition Member in Parliament the other day for saying "Nook-leah". I bet he doesn't do the same when his buddy George W is in town.

1. People who think that the mere act of referring to something in a different context somehow makes the reference funny. Gawd, it doesn't.

2. People who think that if I didn't laugh at their reference, then somehow I didn't understand it. No, I understood it, it just wasn't funny.

3. People.
