DIES

The actual critique isn't anything that entertaining. I direct your attention to the comments received.

I like comedy in my drama, but not drama in my comedy. When I watch a drama, I know things are going to be serious and such, so when it makes me laugh, I'm that much more surprised. When I watch a comedy, I WANT to laugh, and thus, if it depresses me with real-world issues and seriousness, I don't want to watch anymore.

And so, when I watch something like Invader Zim, it's hard for me to think seriously about anything - the characters, the plots. For crying out loud, it's the story of a short green-skinned alien who wears a poor human disguise and tries to conquer Earth with the help of a malfunctioning robot disguised as a big-headed green dog with a zipper down his belly.

Based on that, how the FUCK does one write a serious love story?

And the comments aren't about, "Yeah, this is dumb." They're about, "I know, it's so hard to find good ZimxDib slash."

I could imagine it's hard to find believable, interesting stories about an alien and a paranoid boy who have numerous times attempted to MURDER EACH OTHER, falling in love.

You humans suck. This is why I'm a kitty.

Spring Break. Whoooo.

Saturday morning, I have a 4:30AM crew call for Advanced Film. Thus, I should wake up about 2:30AM. The plan was for me to stay up really late tonight and get as little sleep as possible, so on Friday I would be dead tired. Friday, right after class gets out at 3:15PM, I come back and collapse in bed, so I'm well rested for the shoot.

Buuuuuhhhhhhttt...today, I did a shoot for our Documentary class from 4PM-11:30PM. I'm dead tired now. Want to bed. So tempted to bed...

And no one's online to keep me awake!

Why Won't It Unsubscribe!

In one day, I have received almost 300 pieces of Junk Mail, all from one place.

97.3 FM, a radio station I dig down here, decided to create a yahoo group mailing list. They sent out a few pieces of mail. That's not a problem.

The problem is that there were a handful of people who didn't want to be on the list, and rather than unsubscribing properly, they decided to just reply to the group with the word "UNSUBSCRIBE" in their subject, and rude words about unsubscribing in their text. And because this obviously didn't work, the handful of people just kept trying to send the message over and over again, until it angered more people, who tried to unsubscribe the same way, which angered more people, and so on.

I checked my email last night around 3:30 before going to bed. When I woke up and checked it at 10:30 this morning, there were 109 new messages, a majority of them from "John&Sue", whose subject lines went from "Unsubscribe" to "UNSUBSCRIBE!" and "WHY WONT IT UNSUBSCRIBE!" You'd at least think the two of them could figure it out together.

I unsubscribed, and feel bad because it isn't even the station's fault. They only posted 2 or 3 messages. But the message I posted before unsubscribing told the lot of them that they were illiterate idiots.

See? This is why I'm a kitty.
