What do you hate?

A related complaint: other people misinterpreting your stomach grumbles as farts. My stomach has always rumbled horribly at the most inopportune times, but I dismissed the idea that other people thought I was passing gas as paranoia until one day after a grumble in class I heard a girl sitting me whisper to her friend "Woah! Did you hear that guy just fart?"

* bad code
* the New Economy
* "Intelligent Design"
* alternative medicine
* the Wayans brothers
* Warren Ellis -- I recently exchanged several emails with him asking politely to be taken off of his mailing list, because the unsubscribe function did not work. Every time he wrote he back, he called me an asshole in one way or another, presumably just because he was offended I would want to unsubscribe from his mailing list. At first he refused to take any action at all, and when I insisted, he got nasty. It was startling at first, but then I got the idea. Ok, this guy's an enormous jerk, and doesn't understand the basic rules of mailing lists -- like, for instance, don't write five or ten mass emails a day about abso-fucking-lutely nothing, and with some weird unreadable formatting to boot. I will continue to hate him until I buy his next comic book.
* Kill Your Idols. Stupid idea, worse writing. I am done with ragging on DeRogatis personally, because he's actually about the nicest guy you can imagine. But this book is loaded with a lot of "eh, I don't get it" reviews masquerading as bravely attacking some imaginary establishment. Jim, get over it. Rolling Stone fired you, and you hate them, and sure, I understand how you would. The thing is, everybody who thinks about music hates them, too. No need for a book like this. It's pointless, and it reads like Amateur Hour at the Village Voice. Fuck this stupid shit.
* Being broke all the time
* Microsoft
* Spam that makes me curious as to its contents

-the endless parade of celebrities as national heros

-Wifey's undiagnosed acid reflux and the ensuing howls of pain

-people who say 'on accident'

-new york fuckin' city

- The cats that made 6 piles of shit which I had to scoop up from my garden yesterday and a further 1 pile of shit which I had to scrape from the sole of my trainer.

- Another vote for Americans (and Canadians) who do not put use/know their international dialling code and also those who put their state in the country box.

grrrr. just because you have a kid doesn't mean you don't need to have courtesy for the rest of the world! hopefully baby doesn't turn out as clueless/selfish/self absorbed as mom is...

Otherwise I have to wait until 5. My friend Ranka the Croatian Hardwoman has offered to have a word with them if they can't self-regulate.

I hate quiche, mayonnaise, tartare sauce and the majority of white foodstuffs. I hate having a great 7 letter word but nowhere to play it. I hate the way my skin is blotchy and full of blackheads. I hate the way I am incapable of getting up in the morning to go for a run and my general fitness levels.

I do not hate bicycles. I just think they are a hundred levels of ALIENATION. I do not hate cyclists. I worry for them, is all.

hello everyone at the municipal office, since i can tell you're reading this!

'This desk is TOO COLD'

'This desk is JUST RIGHT'

two. raves with lasers that don't come down low enough to dance in.

three. people who think raves are just drug parties. when will they understand the community spirit of rave culture? probably never!!!

four. people who think it all happened in the eighties. i was born in 1985, and fuck all happened to me.

1967

1974

1976

1979-82

1988

1993

2004

I think that 1993 was an especially good year: techno, black metal, ambience, all kinds of things. You really must come and say hello on the mongrels and sheepfuxors thread Mr Attacker.
