I rather adore Nova Scotia...not sure that was it or not. Actually my favorite place is Cape Breton...which if I could afford it, I'd buy a summer cottage in. But alas, that is only if I ever win the Lottery. Which ain't going to happen in this lifetime, but we keep hoping.
This week's Vamp Diaries actually did surprise me once or twice, granted it is a supernatural soap opera, plots in those series are by nature unpredictable and twisty, which is why they are so much fun. Vamp Diaries is my favorite guilty pleasure next to General Hospital and they are more alike then one would think...now that GH has a vampire and a slayer. Except GH takes itself a little less seriously.
Also, we are moving a bit away from the Oppressive Love Triangle of Doom. My problem with Love Triangles - is regardless of the pairing, I'm always going to root for the underdog, which more often than not is the politically incorrect one. ;-)
Well not always. But most of the time. In this case the underdog is Damon. So I'm rooting for Damon. It helps that he's hot and snarky. But I have feeling I'd do it anyway. What?
I also root for the NY Mets. The Yankees annoy me. Although I do have a fondness for the Kansas Jayhawks, but that's only because that's my alumni.
As an aside...what used to annoy me on Buffy fan boards was comments along these lines ( the stuff in italics was what I always wanted to say in response but never did, because, well, who wants a flame war? But it was hard at times. I almost said this stuff at a meetup once, but wisely bit my tongue and wandered off.)
( snarky rant regarding fan interactions where I'm inevitably rooting on the politically incorrect pairing for the Oppressive Love Triangles of Doom )
Yes, I'm in one of those moods tonight. I blame work and the weather. They are predicting a nasty nor-easter tomorrow, which they've named "NEMO" of all things. Yes, now they are naming winter storms. I've known about it for a while - because of where I work. They already have a work order out for snow removal and storm precautions - and it hasn't even started yet.
Sigh. Bad case of the February uglies where you just want to smack with people. Today lost my patience with a vendor who didn't know what "in lieu of" meant.
Addendum - "Attachment D should be used in lieu of Schedule V Contract Price."
Vendor: So is Schedule V Contract Price required.
Me: Did you read the Addendum? Attachment D should be used in lieu of Schedule V Contract Price.
(You know if you don't know what it means - you can always google it or look it up in the dictionary...)
Am debating taking a trip to Costa Rica with one of my many meetup groups (this one is Fun with Strangers) in May.
