Getting my grouch on

Notthat I feel that bad any more, but you know what they say, better out than in.
Now it might just have been because I didn't see most of the build up, Smallville being one of those programmes that I flick through, but the grand battle against Darkseid was a bit of a let down.
I was so hopeful when they started playing the "proper" theme tune, but then they ruin it to switching to their own once the credits start rolling. No, just no.
Oh the gratuitous history fail. I know it's a CSI and there is no point getting worked up about the science, but being suddenly and unexpectly introduced to 'The Hitler Party' is a new one. Dear CSI, it's not like the forshortening for the National Socialist Party has become a byword for all that is evil or anything, is it! Calling them the Hitler party is not going to make them seem any more evil.
Dear friend in RL,
You come down, giving me ~ 14 hrs warning, instead of the 14 days I tend to demand because my house is a tip. I let you stay. You complain about the state of the flat. Not going to complain about that, because hey, tip. However, when you then try and make me feel bad by saying you worry that it'll affect how your mother sees me. I'm sorry, but the suggestions, demands, hints, pleas and orders of my own mother and grandmother have yet to make me tidy, why the fuck do you think I'd care what your mother thinks?! With no offense to the lady, who I do know, but really!
(There are many reasons I would never, ever sleep with or date this guy, but that he expects tidiness is one of them. I regard being a slattern (provided it inconveniences no one else) as something I have every right to be.)
Dear Self,
Stop eating so much. I know why (I appear to be bedding in for winter), but eating as much as a panda bear is bad for you.
Dear whoever it is in my block of flats that leaves at about 7 in the morning. Be more quiet.
Dear UK record buying public, why have you bought more of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_oLfC5Z_Ys - Professor Green and Emeli Sande - Read All About It, when it's a poor Eminem re-tread (down to our wailing woman of chorus sorrow) when you could be buying this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0fk6syQ7iY&ob=av3e Labrinth - Earthquake - which is, to quote a friend, criminally good.

Utterly un-related, but watching the Longest Yard - did they just grab wrestlers wholesale, 'cause so far I've spotted Goldberg, Austin, Kevin Nash and the Great Khali.
