The thing about me and Heroes is, we're like roommates who can watch movies at the same time but never have personal conversations.

I began watching it in the first place because Sam was writing fic for it. (See: House, Ouran, Studio 60, Wimsey, Lovejoy, etc.etc.and-so-on). And I find that is has about six lines I adore per episode, and it has the largest number of w00bies in the core cast that I have ever encountered, which means that I love a lot of the characters--and even some of the ones who aren't w00bies, I love. But the plots almost always fail to capture my attention, and there are also two or three characters I intensely dislike. (Jessica/Nikki FTL.)

So I watched the premiere last night, yes, and I enjoyed it (because the kind of shows that I can talk to the screen about a lot are usually enjoyable) but all in all--I still say it was much better when Sam was writing it.

I miss Jack.





ANNOYANCES OF THE DAY:

This is the SECOND time Starbucks has ignored my instructions about pumpkin spice syrup. The pumpkin spice syrup is the point. I do not often indulge myself as regards money and sweet rich fattening things, and when I do, I expect them to be worth it. This is your last warning, Starbucks: next time I will go back and make you do it over. This is ridiculous.

WHY cannot one search other people's journals for comments containing thus-and-such? I spent forever last night looking for a conversation I had with somebody in Sam's journal, and still haven't found it.

I annoy the Starbucks workers by standing there and watching them make my drink, and telling them in the moment when they're fucking it up. However, given the percentage of the time I find myself saying something, well.

Dude, seriously, on three separate occasions they forgot the coffee. I realize my venti nonfat 130 degree sugar-free vanilla quad latte is a little complicated, but seriously, man, the coffee part is mission-critical. Between that and: regular milk, milk that is 180 degrees (which I find scorching, and do not CARE if it is standard temperature for many people), regular vanilla syrup, only 2 squirts of vanilla syrup (WTF? For a quad venti? Um, no.), no syrup, and/or trying to make it a cappuccino, I end up saying something A LOT.

Mine isn't even that hard. All I ask is that the cocoa contain pumpkin flavoring. Why is that so much to ask??

Do what now?

Is it because I'm sexy?

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

(Even though I was talking about your namesake, who was an OC in Sam's fic. I miss you too. *g*)

I find it easier to use the search function in my email and follow the in-mail link back to the posts. Good luck.

Unfortunately it was too long ago...I delete too many things. *thunks forehead*

Thanks, though!
