After chatting about L4D with John Scalzi during the kaffeeklatch on Saturday, I mentioned that someone ought to fanfic that line of graffiti. He then looked me in the eye and told me to do it.
So... looks like I have a writing project. Too bad I haven't quite figured out how to do it yet. Normally the answer would be "Play more L4D," only I can't because I don't have the equipment.
*sigh*

In the meantime, I am struggling with this stupid baby blanket. Again. After getting through four repeats with no trouble, this fifth repeat is threatening to claim my sanity. I've had to rip back about six times this week, and I've just found yet another mistake. Gnarr.
*glares at knitting*
I suspect this will be ten times worse when I try to knit that shawl next.

Random pet peeve
Aug. 13th, 2009 10:20 pmI hate being shushed. I don't know why people think it's okay or appropriate to tell another adult to shush.
Don't get me wrong. A simple, polite: "Would you mind lowering your voice?" or "Excuse me, I can't hear the person talking/show/whatever" is just fine.
What I hate is being treated like a four-year-old or a misbehaving dog.
Pet peeve over. Carry on.
