(10:03 pm PT) - Please, take the hint
[link] - (evil)

Dear family,
If you want to wank, that's fine. But when I say I'm going into a chat right now, that's should not be interpreted as 'now would be a good time to vent to you (me)'. It should be translated as 'I'd like some time to spend on my own life, such as it is, so please save the wank for tomorrow'.

Seriously, I kept saying, "I'll be in my room." "I'm going on a chat now." "I'd like to talk to this person now." Yet parties are going over the same stuff that I have no new input for and already agreed with. Okay, yes, I know you want to vent. But I've only said that I consider all hours after 8pm (and especially after 9pm) my time for the past few years now. Alas I'm obviously ignored, I missed the person I wanted to talk to tonight.

It doesn't help that this is spillover from wank that started back on the 18th.

I'm now going to sit here and try and write this PW fic before I just go batshit on someone in here and start some wank of my own.

So peer reviews. I feel they're pointless unless you can assure the student doing the reviewing has a margin of objectivity for the essay being reviewed. To that end, I would ask the instructor, if handed a paper concerning pro-life stance on abortion, if I could review a different piece, as there's no way I could be objectional.

So I get my review back. Allow me to share...

What is the main point of this paper?

From what I can gather, the point is that women have, from a lack of industry created erotic stimulation, created their own supply to meet their demand. Furthermore, entertainment industries should take advantage of the “window of opportunity” from this untapped market.

Wrong, idiod. My thesis was the very last sentence in the first paragraph. It was in plain sight, like roaches on a hill of shit. And I quote, "Yaoi and slash works provides fans with an aesthetic and therapeutic outlet, allowing for exploration of the imagination and of sensuality for women as individuals." I said nothing about simple erotic stimulation. Nothing.

What is the greatest strength of this paper?

I suppose the greatest strength is in-depth look into each section of the paper. It is very detailed and organized in a way I found to flow.

Way to say a lot of nothing.

What material does not seem to fit the main point of the paper or does not seem to be appropriate for the audience?

I can’t find any to be honest. From what I can see, the content clearly follows the author’s intent to stay to the point.

I'm not impressed with this answer. Keep reading to understand why.

Has the author sufficiently addressed counter-arguments? Explain your answer.

This was a topic I was really unable to counter-argue. As a male who really doesn’t support the porn business, I don’t have the ability to relate to desire for erotic stimulation from a female’s perspective. I don’t condone it, but then not condoning male porn doesn’t take care of the problem either.

And that's why I'm not impressed. First, it's not all about the sex. But I would be remissed in presenting the topic if I didn't mention sex at all. However, I feel this person only focused on the sex and didn't bother reading anything else about the paper, like how yaoi and slash is more than just sex, thankyou. But I digress.

Basically, this person claims they can't connect to the topic. But has the nerve to say this...

What is your favorite part of this piece of writing?

I think some of my answers describe how I would have a difficult time answering this. While I think it was well written, I didn’t identify with a specific paragraph where I went, “oh, now that struck to the heart of the matter”.

You're not going to identify with a topic you already claimed you can't connect to.

What other comments can you provide for the author?

This was honestly a hard thing to review, not because I’m displeased by your topic, but because I don’t have the ability to relate.

Yes, because your displeasure of the topic would just make my world crumble and turn to dust, all to fly away on the winds of sorrow.

That sound you hear of a cat harking up a hairball is me.

I think that it was a bit too technical, but then that could just be my personal style. At times I just felt like I was trying learn about the subject, not being drawn into the topic.

I don't think I need to comment on this. But I will anyway. If you already state you can't connect to a topic, what in the blue blazin' Mary would make you think said topic would draw you in? And learning about the subject? That's kinda the effin' point.

So you see how this so called peer review does little in its intended purpose of actually helping me. Remind me to write a letter to the powers that be to state as much. There's little point to such an assignment if it's not going to do what it should.

(6:06 pm PT) - Good grief...
[link] - (evil)

I think I am cursed.

So the only consolation I have to today, (which, if you read the previous entry, you know is crappy), is the fact that I'm currently home alone.

So why does one of the B-unit's friends call up, and want to have a conversation with me?

He's 22, I'm 30. He smokes weed, I do not. I know nothing about him outside of bring my brother's friend, and all he knows about me is I'm always on the computer.

I'd like to keep it that way, personally.

To quote him, "You know it's just I hardly get a chance to mix it up with you."

Dude, there's a reason for that. Let's not try and cross any pre-established boundaries of interaction, kthx.

I'm going to play Curse of Darkness now. I need to kill something, and ogle the pretty boytoy doing the killing.

(6:14 pm PT) - I was better off procrastinating

So I finally did more than let the opening sequence play for DMC3. I got to mission 4, and did the secret mission in 3.

I am not happy.

The only thing this game did right was Vergil's design. Plot, I am beyond pissed at. Dante, looked better in 1 and 2. And the girl this time is butt ass crack lickin' UGLY.

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE*, who ever dares complains to me about how Lucia looked will get my foot implanted so far up their ass they'll get to lick my toes.

And Dante, don't get me started. People complained about his lack of attitude in DMC2? Well to me, DMC3 is over the top and running down the one-way street of obnoxious. Plus, Capcom seems to try too hard to make parts funny. I was better with the unintentional humour in DMC1 with the cheesy lines than this.

Gameplay: difficult. And I mean that, verily. On easy, this makes 1 and (especially) 2 look like a walk in the park. It's ridiculous. And I don't like how very weak the guns are when you start out. Sheesh, not all of us want to sit here forever trying to play this thing, okay?

I'm going to give it another chance, obviously. I'm too stubborn for my own good, but first impressions? I'm not a happy camper, and I don't like the big effin plothole between 1 and 3 that calls for bastardising Vergil. And yes, I know about Nelo Angel, but remember, even there he was an honourable figher, if you'll recall.

* (obviously that threat refers to the male dominant morons I deal with whenever I go into GameCrazy. Actually, most of this post can be deciated to them.

- signed, a DMC2 fan.

I'm getting a trifle annoyed at the support request for yuriville. I already know about the remaining yaoi references, yet some, (not all, but enough to piss me off), are complaining about it like it's the end of the world.

Get the hell over it.

I have a life. I have things I do outside of both sites. I will get to it when I can. Read the damn FAQ, because I know I've said as much.

I'm so sorry your fragile mental health was broken because you're, (at least some of you sound like you are), a straight male looking for hot lesbian fic action, yet got some m/m reference in the process.

Then again, no, I'm not sorry, because you're being really childish about it.

Now some emails have been polite, pointing out exactly where they found the reference, and leaving it at that. Them I appreciate, I say thank you, and I will get to it when time permits.

Those emails I'm getting that seem on the verge of panic/tears/hyperventilation, and not giving me any detail save to say, "it's still yaoi in there!", stuff it. You're still alive, and the yaoi reference hasn't killed you or maimed you, no matter if you're on the border of deserving the latter.

I will fix it when I can, not a moment sooner. If you're that freaked out by it, I suggest therapy, because you have issues.

(8:54 pm PT) - Oh, the irony doth smell
[link] - (evil)

General consensus seems to indicate that 1. Something was rotten in Denmark; and 2. I could have been WAY bitchier about it. Man, now I wish I had been.

But actually I wanted to post some related irony. Roughly fifteen minutes ago, mom informed me that the news reported some areas of San Bernadino had in fact flooded out because of the storm, and people are advised to avoid the areas completely.

Gee, imagine that. I'm going to sit here and smirk on it for a bit.

Warning: swearing ahead

Around 3 o'clock a.m. I was awakened because my stomach decided to revolt.
Around 6 o'clock a.m. comment spammers hit Locuran to peddle free online casinos in entries that were years old.

For 3 hours I was stuck in a bathroom, followed by an hour of getting plugins installed and modding one of the core scripts. Essentially I lost four hours of sleep, for no good reason.

So please excuse me, (and my apologies), as I let some aggression out on RL.

Dear Reality,
Fuck You, Fuck You, Fuck You, and Fuck You again.

I suppose I can't complain about the stomach--no, yes I can. It's been screwing with me all my life, so I think I'm entitled to complain. But the comment spammers, dearest goddess, when will it become legal to track these people down and ass-rape them with a spiked dildo laced with arsenic and lemon juice?

Bitter? Quite. Extremely. I have even less respect for these people than regular email spammers. With them, it's in my own inbox, nobody else will see it, and I can delete. Comment spammers are no better than graffitti taggers, because it goes on your site.

I wish I could go to their house and spray paint various smut scenes from yaoi manga onto their walls; let them see how it feels.

I'm going back to sleep. I think I'm due.

(9:30 am PT) - Release the hounds

Exovian.com has made a fatal error. Perhaps most others would call $13 a write-off, but I'm not most others. I wasn't going to pull the BBB into this so soon, but "Ben" at exovian decided to be a naughty little boy, oh yes indeed. The last post I made in the support forum was me asking just how I could go about getting my refund. I broke no forum rule whatsoever, yet Ben, in an effort to shut me up, has decided to ban me from the forum.

That's okay, Ben, because I can play hardball, too. Oh, that neat trick of yours not to include any sort of postal address on the site so nobody could ever find you? You forgot about a whois domain lookup, didn't you? I know you registered through GoDaddy, and I know you're located in Florida. 126 Bayberry Circle in Jupiter, to be exact. You know, for future reference, GoDaddy does have a privacy service, if you were going to be that sneaky.

Oh, wait, in order to be that good, you have to be smart. Sorry, my mistake.

No, Benny boy, I'm not shutting up, not until you either give me my 13 bucks, or exovian goes down in a blaze of mediocrity. Do expect to hear from the BBB soon, mmkay? And maybe more if you still want to be petty with this.

It's your own fault, you know. If you didn't have that big glaring "30 day money back guarantee" on your site, none of this would happen. Oh, but don't take it down for my sake, I've already printed your site's frontpage out, along with the url and date in the header. I also printed out all the open status tickets I have showing my attempts to cancel the account, which you've tried to ignore. Thought I'd disappear, didn't you? Like all the other customers you've screwed over?

I'm not the others, Ben. And I'm going to make sure you regret it.
