Random Fandom / Serious WTFs

[themostepotente]

I should have some recs in the next couple of days (very possibly tomorrow), and then I am going deep undercover to finish a short Draco ficlet and my hd_holidays's fic as it still needs much work.

[Random Fandom]

A very pleasant start to a grey Tuesday morning. I was nominated for a MoME Award for my Kirk/McCoy fic By Way of the Heart and the Stars.

I was feeling a little fandom bluesy writing-wise, so this was an unexpected pick-me-up. Yay!

[Serious WTFs]

A big truck was blocking my way the other day, and when I finally got around past it, I couldn't help but notice the logo on the side of the truck.

HEELS ON WHEELS

Apparently, they deliver shoes. So, the basic message I'm getting is that a.) women are shoewhores b.) women are lazy shoewhores. WTF!

And then, and then...

I went to Wal Mart to exchange some AAA batteries for AA, and the returns clerk looked at me and said, "Don't you have any toys you could use these for?"

AND THEN SHE FUCKING WINKED AT ME! ARGH!

OMG, I could be mistaken, but I really do not need people implying my toys *cough* need battery maintenance. Rarely am I rendered gobsmacked, but that did it. OMG, SERIOUS WTFery!

Have a WTF story to share? Love to hear 'em!

I just watched episodes 2-6 today! I did watch them in Japanese after all, but I love this series so much I'm going to go back and watch them in English too, because all the fourth-wall breaking is hysterical. The twins in particular are killing me dead.

Oh, did you see the 'twins fight' episode? By far one of my faves. I love the dude that runs the Black Magic Club and his kitty curse doll!

I got total "Undertaker" (Kuroshitsuji) vibes off him, I loved him! I hope we see him again. And I decided I wanted to get a pet or stuffed animal and name it after the cursed doll--oh, hell, I've forgotten its name already! Well, I'm going to watch it again, won't be a problem. ^_^ (Is it a kitty? I thought it was an owl!)

It's definitely a kitty, and his little name is Belzenef! Nekozawa is the dude's name.

I still haven't seen Kuroshitsuji. I hate watching things online. I wish they'd put that on DVD already!
