A Call to Soup!

For everyone that put up with me while I was all cranky and bitchy and not a lot of fun to be around lately, thank you. Last night it snowed for a while and the freeze seemed to have killed off or dampened whatever it was that was bugging me and making my chest hurt, so I feel physically better - but I am still in a fairly foul mood.

So I'm gonna make this a short post and finish up some work and maybe work a bit on a post about lyrical interpretation and Keanu Reeves and if it turns out to not be mean-spirited, I'll post it later. Cause I am trying here, I really am.

Tonight I work late and then I am going by the market and going home and making soup. Now - I want to make the spiciest, gingeriest, most guaranteed to open up and clear your sinuses soup known to man or woman tonight. I was just gonna buy a bunch of stuff that looked good and throw it in a pot and call it soup, but then I figured that someone on my fList probably has the perfect Sinus-Death Soup recipe and would love to share it, so if this is the case, I'd be grateful.

Right now my plans center around sweet potatoes, red peppers, butternut squash and a variety of hot peppers and garlic and ginger and all of it roasted before becoming soup. Something like that...

Also - drdawn is apparently just getting over the flu, so I will share the proceeds. Your soup will go to a worthy cause -- please call now.

(no subject)

I just spent forever and a day on an entry about vidding and song interpretation and the Keanu Factor and now... it disappeared.

FUCK.

PRIMAL SCREEEEEAAAAAMM!!

This is not the week to be messing with me - ya know. So I just have to share this with you guys - cause really, it is to laugh and all.

And I am *really* having a hard time navigating this MSN site so I can find an email address.

So anyway - settiai alerted us all to this place that was hotlinking vids she and Lum and I have all made. So I go over there ready to just tear someone apart cause really - fuckers need to go down and I am spoiling for a fight.

The vids are here - notice how she ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO STREAM VIDS OFF SOMEONE ELSE'S BANDWIDTH!! The FUCK! Notice how she links to all these vids (directly) and never once thinks to mention the vidder by name. And then - my favorite part of all -- at the very bottom of the page she says:

**credits go to the talented people who made these videos!**


http://groups.msn.com/slayme/musicvideos.msnw

Now ain't that just precious?

So I get there and I am mad and I am looking and I am all hot to trot and I see this:

http://groups.msn.com/SlayMe/yourwebpage6.msnw

And she says:

Oookay - so this is soo not correct cause look - music video page - but anyway (maybe she stole her disclaimer?) what is really really - just extremely funny to me is right under her disclaimer box she says:

Slay Me provides you with BTVS and ATS information, games, activites, ect. If you have any intentions on copying, hacking, or stealing anything off this site, we will report you.

Buh huh? Shaggy says what? THE HELL?? SHE IS HOTLINKING A PAGE FULL OF VIDS!!

Gah.

And so I search and search for one freaking email address and I can't find it and I have work to do and all because someone has to pay for all this bandwidth (and yes I am exaggerating - we all know that Dawn pays for the site - BUT HEY - SHE HAS TO WORK FOR THE MONEY TOO!! AND SHE HAD TO WORK TODAY AND SHE IS STILL NOT OVER THE FLU AND MAYBE IF IT WASN'T FOR INCONSIDERATE AND SPOILED CHILDREN SHE COULD TAKE AN EXTRA SICK DAY! And okay that is me just being over-dramatic again, but now I am all addicted! ::swoons::)

And I still can't find an email but I do find out that this chickadee is 14 and in so much love with James Marsters that it hurts and so now I can't, you know, kill her. But I do need to educate her apparently and NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR ME TO BE PATIENT and I can't even find a fricking email address and I am really really tired of this site right now.

THIS - this is why I hide from newbies.

::exhausted::

ETA: The vid page is down! Whee! She has taken it down and responded to some emails and I am *not* obsessively checking my in box.

I am also not watching Smallville and yet the episode is *right* here and I heard there was tied up Lex torture and I am such a sucker for that. Maybe I am depressed?

Also - Soup Good.
