the overemphasis on "tasting notes" in food. I'm not making a "that's too fancy for me" complaint -- I love good food and I'm very picky about things like wine, beer and coffee -- I just don't understand the practice of sitting there going "hmm, I taste hibiscus, crab apple, old shoe leather, milk chocolate, and unripe avocado." It seems so alienating from the way I experience food, and after a while I can't even tell if I like something anymore.

once the world finds something useful to do with itself again it's going to look back at this time and think we were all a bunch of real idiots

just eat yr goddamn food already people sheesh

Trace Payne how about what they have done for Veronica Mars?? Enough 'fans' have contributed, so they are doing a movie.. Can that be done for peaks?

Bring Back Twin Peaks to TV Yes they could do a Kickstarter Trace Payne - but it would need to be official and have the backing of Frost and Lynch etc. - James

I wrote this comment on their petition request:

This is a waste of time. Just let it go, it won't be the same if they bring it back. Even most of season 2 was weak.

and got this response

Bring Back Twin Peaks to TV You're just saying that with the gift of hindsight. Season 2 was overall pretty strong, in balance [name redacted]. We can all be cynical.

Which made me even more IA, because nothing about what I said had anything to do with the "gift of hindsight." Like what the fuck does that even mean? And how was I being "cynical"? Is anything not "positive" considered "cynical"? This is a show about incestual rape and murder. It's one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. I mean it's fun in it's way too, but I really don't get this chipper "Hey everybody sign my petition!" thing.

Bring Back Twin Peaks to TV yes that was the hack site Welcome To Twin Peaks spreading erroneous news. She did NOT say it was NEVER coming back, she was merely referring to the specific bogus NBC rumor which was blowing up the Internet back in January from an anonymous post on fourchan

walked down the road behind a large guy who had a large dog that he was allowing to pee and poo in several places. Thought about saying something to him but there's no signs up saying don't allow your dog to foul everywhere. There are several kids playing in the areas that there is now dog crap.
Doesn't seem to have caught on over here yet that dog owners pick up their dog mess so you get loads of it in parks etc. Think it's pretty digusting.
& it's known to spread disease, as just leaving crap around tends to.

Speaking of that, another thing that makes me IA are people who put up those disgusting anti-dog-shitting signs all over their yards. Like, I'd almost rather see actual dogshit than 5 cartoon dogs taking a shit.

Small things that make you possibly irrationally frustrated: Amazon "Look Inside!" previews that end after the introduction.

Yes, I would like to see what's inside this book, by which I had in mind some of the actual text of the book, and not the copyright notices followed by a page of the author going "I wrote this for my cat Snookles. Snookles, you are the fluffiest cat in all the world! xoxo" and/or some guy who is not the author going "This remarkable book reminds me of the time I was in Antigua in 1987"

Is this self-help book going to help me? Do the recipes in this book contain anything I'd like to eat made out of ingredients I can actually buy, cooked without the aid of $$$-worth of kitchen-cluttering gadgets I have no other use for? I don't know, but I sure do know a lot about the author's cat and the globetrotting youth of someone picked at semi-random from the publisher's contact list now! Thanks!

- LoveFilm disconnecting me every time I watch anything meaning I have to sign in again to watch anything else.

- when you attempt to return to a session marker in Skate 3 and it plays the "I acknowledge your pressing of the return to marker button" noise then doesn't return you because it wants you to hold the button down a split second longer. I get IA about this about 3 times a minute when attempting challenges as I can't train myself out of releasing the button when I hear the noise.

Front parking lot is closed for repair at daycare so everyone's gotta use the back lot. Fine. Guess what. Everyone uses that one anyway because no one likes to drag their kids around in the street.

But for some really damn strange reason, daycare hired four security guys wearing yellow vests "to direct traffic". Listen, busters. I know how to park in a goddamm parking lot. Everyone else does too. I don't need any 22-year-old acting like he's directing airplanes into the gate. One guy tried to get me to go up to the front of the lot to park in the space with the freaking utility pole taking up half of it and looked all put out when I pulled into one of the spaces further from the door without a pole. My kids can WALK and so can you, you punk, right off this lot.

One guy did the slow, slow gesture at me because I was going 10 mph. Another guy could not wrap his head around the fact that he needed to close the door so that my son with his borderline autistic behavior (I don't know where he gets it) can push the button on the intercom like he does each day. WE DON'T NEED YOU WEIRD PEOPLE HANGING OUT BEHIND THE DAYCARE ACTING LIKE WE PARENTS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE TIP IS BACK HERE.

Stevolende, Wednesday, 24 July 2013 15:42 (ten years ago) link

ugh PP that would drive me insane

parking at the Coliseum for Raiders games tailgates has been a nightmare for the last few years -- not only has the parking cost gone up every year, and the actual space you have to tailgate shrinks by like a fucking foot every year, the parking lot attendants get progressively dumber and less able to understand that most of us come here ALL THE FUCKING TIME and know how to park. I don't mind if it's just a couple of dudes pointing the general way they want you to enter the lot, but when you have a cluster of like 5 attendants standing together each waving you in a different direction and NONE of them are paying even the slightest attention to where anyone else is parking, it's just like, why the fuck are you here.

Legitimate complaints, I wholly support you in your opinion.

But the day that an Oakland Raiders tailgate is nice and orderly with nary a detail that doesn't lift the blood pressure a little, that's the day the Raiders become as exciting as a Golden State Warriors tailgate.

we stopped tailgating in the mainlot anyway -- BART parking lot way less full, lots more space, and everyone's way more chill. And it's like half the price to park.
