Well, yeah, but sometimes I've re-read a book I hated or watched a movie I didn't like and realize that it was not so bad.
But usually the opposite ensues. It still STAYS BAD. Or worse, a book I like (Prayer for Owen Meany, She's Come Undone) turns into a terrible book on a rereading.

I know, but being insanely optimistic I keep hoping I was missing something and that it would magically turn good and engaging. Because if a book is bad (Gate to Women's Country comes to mind) I often wonder, was it me? Is the problem my perspective of this book? Am I somehow biased? Plus it's not a...

I was trying to read EiE at the supermarket today. Why are so many people in that book so... self satisfied and swarmy in their dialog? It drives me crazy. Everyone sounds so sure of their pure and total smartness. Plus the dialog was painfully unrealistic. Way more like preaching than talking. Urg....

That was something that bothered me after reading that book for the severaleth times. It's just that just because those folks were Chinese, doesn't mean they'd act like ancient China to prove their Chinese-ness anymore than Japanese folks would eat nothing but raw fish to prove their Japanese-ness. ...

I would like a nice man. I hate men who are boorish and arrogant. Ted Dansen's character on Cheers comes to mind. I don't like that guy. He has dippy hair, and all of these women are like, oh, Sam, but he's such a weiny. But Diana was even more annoying. So prissy. I hate that my hours were cut. Wha...

I don't like it when people talk to me when I am listening to my music because clearly with my ear canals in I cannot hear them. But they talk anyway and I must stop listening to music.

When people PEE all over the toilet seat. On two occasions I have had the misfortune of walking into a bathroom after this rather well dressed woman used it. Only to find that she SPRAYED THE SEAT AND DIDN'T WIPE IT! I hate that deeply. If people must pee on the seat, can they at least lift the seat...

Most television shows other than- Bones House Cold Case Criminal Minds Everybody Hates Chris and a few others are VERY OBNOXIOUS AND STUPID. Especially old shows.

I love Neil Gaiman But I do not know what a busker is. I love his dog. Neil Gaiman is coming to Winnipeg! We won! Speaking of Gaiman, I recently learned that he approves of the sentiment that Jason Webley is the best busker this side of the Mississippi, and that's why you all need to listen to him. ...

I do not know.... I don't see the fun in shooting some random animal. Nor do I get dead animal decor. Having deer heads hanging around. I would not want some deer staring dolefully at me as I eat one of its relatives or it. No, it's something I don't get. Mainly I wish folks would not torment predat...
