I suppose it's a sign you're over a 'ship' when...

I suppose it's a sign that you're well and truly over a particular pairing when you read spoilers that the husband is being killed off and, though vaguely sad (I stopped watching ages ago), your first thought is "I'm glad he dies saving his daughter and doesn't sacrifice himself for his awful 'wife' who doesn't give a shit about him."

And I was once a huge shipper of this pairing! 

(It doesn't help that the actress playing the wife made a massive disgrace of herself on twitter last week with an insufferably smug evangelical post about her going to Chik-Fil-A on Hate Day.  The fandom backlash she's receiving for that is considerable.)

~iz depressed~

*sigh*  FInally got around to booking a vacation, and come to find out between the time of finding a place to rent at the beach, actually scheduling the time off to go, and calling back to actually book it, the damn place rented!! 

So now, I either pay $200 more to book at an earlier time (before the rates go down mid-September) and reschedule my time off, or book at a later (suckier for me because it coincides with the Alabama/Arkansas game) time when I didn't want to go (because, honestly, a game day is wasted on vacation.  It winds up as a day in front of the tv and I can do THAT at home, thank you very much), or I begin searching again for another place (and no-doubt have to reschedule my time off in that case too.)

This, plus it's time to re-up NCARB but the website is buggy and has lost my log-in.  Look, architects pay NCARB over $200 a year to do... something.  Beats the hell out of me what, because most of what I've gotten is lost records and double billing.  The only overt thing that they do... is keep our name on a list so that if we ever change states, we have reciprocal registration.  So, you know, if I ever move  cross country, I can finally use what I've been paying a yearly fee for... or something.  

Since they're being paid for what amounts to keeping my name on a list, the least they could do is not screw up all. the. time.

(And I haven't even bothered to look up how short I am on continuing education credits for the year because that'll depress me too).

Some days suck.

Stephen Colbert: 
So everyone wants to know who Romney will pick [as his running mate].  Well, FOX has a way for us to figure it out.


Video Clip of  FOX and  Brain-Damaged Propogandists FRIENDS : 
Perhaps you can just look to Wikipedia because the day before Sarah Palin was named John McCain's running mate, her wikipedia page was updated 68 times


Stephen Colbert:
68 times.  That's impressive. Once she was on the ticket, she did not edit herself ONCE...

So the number of times a wikipedia page is edited predicts the chances of the VP slot.

That means we could be looking at Vice President SEASON 6 OF BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER




(Pic of the Season 6 DVD set and huge audience applause)



So, Nation, let your voice be heard on this decision.  Go on wikipedia and make as many edits as possible to your favorite Republican VP contender...

What amuses me about this is imagining how Colbert and staff decided on Season 6 BtVS as their example.  Either he (or someone on his staff) knows enough about Buffy to know not just that Buffy would be something that's edited a lot but which specific season was the most controversial and subject to endless warring wiki-edits, OR they googled something with an incredible number of wiki-edits and Season 6 of Buffy popped up. 

Either way, it cracks me up.
