TICTH Amnesia Personified
If you say that you are going to do something important for a fellow human being....just damn well do it. Don't prattabout offering ineffective excuses. YOU are the adult in this situation. ManUp. Apologise. Write the damn thing. Then go have a coffee and just get over it.
I would like to be able to look you in the eye and smile the next time we meet, not snarl and rip your face off.

TICTH the woman who greeted me at the church door with, "Hey, we need to get you into some clothes that show off your cute little self! I'm gonna take you in hand!"
It's 89 degrees F. I've been going through menopause for more than two years now. I don't have AC at home or in my car, and if I'm lucky the AC at work will function well enough to keep the temperature in my office below 80. So yeah, I'm wearing a large, loose-fitting cotton dress that I didn't iron this morning because I'm too fucking hot to wear anything else.
I don't need you to take me in hand. I know how to dress. But I am not here to decorate the world, and sometimes I just don't give a shit.

You have my sympathies.
A friend with a whippet-thin sister has been constantly belittled by same for years for her dress sense.
How I cheered when at a recent wedding the sister yelled across a lawn "K, what on earth are you wearing" and friend responded "Clothes - and at 58 you should wear some too, not just a few wisps of cloth" ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif)

Stupid fucking ex-"wife" or girlfriend or whatever the fuck... who spent her money on pot and pills to dull her non-existent pain... but couldn't be bothered with taking two of her FIVE cats to the vet for emergency asthma treatments...
One of her cats, barely two years old died a few hours ago on our living room floor because she couldn't breathe and her tongue was turning black. Selfish, idiotic fucking bitch of ex-girlfriend said SHE was going to kill herself because she was so upset at her cat's death. Yeah, because that would really help the situation. Fucking moron! I had to pack up her dead cat and put the poor thing in a cardboard box... ohhh, shit, I fucking hate people who get animals and then don't care for them... so, today, go to Hell, K., you joke! ![[Mad]](angryfire.gif)

Put it this way: Do you want a waltz, or the typical country song, to sound uncannily like an Irish jig or Scottish country dancing?

TITCH those idiots who think Fur Elise is either in 6/8 or 3/4. It's in neither, it's in 3/8 with the theme running in semi-quavers rather than in any timing that would use quavers for the theme. Yes it's in three not six, but they're bloody quavers not crotchets. As shown in the original copy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Beethoven_WoO_59_Erstausgabe.png

Sigh. True. But 3/4 is merely 3/8 written in double note values, it doesn't change the nature of the composition. I just know off the top of my head without consulting a score that the thing is supposed to be in simple triple time, not compound duple!

Sod this faffing around with time signatures- I'm just condemning Beethoven's Fur Elise to Hell.
If it's not the thousandth Grade 4 student stumbling through it, leaving me wanting to stab my eyes with needles rather than listen to it being massacred or repeating patiently, yet again, "Count carefully, dear" it's the "Hold" music. There's a whole world of classical music out there, why the hell does it have to be Fur Elise, Rondo Alla Turcia or the sodding Four Seasons
Yes, I have a much wider repertoire of piano music under my fingers, and a wealth of other music that's so much more fun to teach. But, does anyone ever get enthusiastic about that? No, they don't. Fur Elise every time.
[Stomps off to play Bach very loudly, because now, I've got Fur Elise as an earworm.]

You mean the one which is attributed to Bach but which many scholars think is not really by Bach. Meaning that one can play it quite angrily, but probably not be playing Bach angrily no matter how angrily one plays it.

TICTH Australian Christians who get in a tizz over the suggestion that the Bible can be used to justify slavery, and ignore centuries of their forebear's history to assert that it's obvious the Bible is against slavery, in the same way that it's obvious the Bible is against same sex marriage.
I was thinking about going back to church soon. I'm not sure I want any kind of association with you folk right now. Seriously. It's not because you disagree with me on particular issues, it's because you're so goddamn THICK and have allowed your brains to rot inside a bunch of platitudes.

You think regular slugs are gross (and I agree) - as usual, Australia takes everything to extremes...see here for pink slugs - and they're twenty-fucking-centimetres long!

The Pacific Banana Slug (Ariolimax columbianus) is even larger, up to 25 cm, and its range extends into Alaska, unlike the pink one. That will give Comet something to look forward to if it isn't what she has encountered already.
But, as garden pests go, moose tastes better.

TICTH my local public library and its "modernization." Gone are the long drawers full of little cards threaded onto metal rods. Now we have 6 computers on which to search the fr*gging c*t*log.
As of old, you can search by author, title, or subject. What you cannot do, though, is tell what fr*gging format the item's in, or who published it, or how many pages or minutes long the item is, or what the item might cross-reference to. All you can find out is whether the library has the thing and whether it's checked out or not.
So now we have to slog all over the damn place, with its multiple rooms and floors (no elevator), lugging all the books we've already found (because the 6 computers now occupy the convenient table where we used to be able to stash our gleanings while searching for additional items on other floors), only to discover that the items we're looking for are useless to us because (if we're deaf) they're audiotapes; (if we're blind), they're movies; and (if we have poor vision), they're not in large print.
PUT THE DAMN INFORMATION ON THE &$!@#!COMPUTER!!!

I miss card catalogs, too.
There are advantages to a computer-based catalog, sure: speed, searching. finding out whether the book is in, and the ease of placing holds.
But the system can be very slow, or go down altogether. With a card catalog, the main concern is making sure the metal rod is tightened when you take the drawer out. Otherwise, if you spill or drop the drawer, you'll have cards all over the floor.
Plus we're physical beings; and IMHO using an aromatic, tangible card catalog is a better experience than using the computerized version.
It would be nice to have both versions.
TICTH making good things go away.

I don't care if it's cards or computers or on mind-melding crystal balls from the Horsehead Galaxy.
I want the damn INFORMATION about it. Who published the thing? How many pages long is it? How long does it run? What FORMAT is it in? Does it come in paperback or hardcover? And I want that information ABOUT it so I know whether it's worth my time and effort to slog up three flights of stairs lugging a dozen books LOOKING for it only to discover, after finding it, that I can't USE the effing thing.

Nicholson Baker has written at length about the losses caused by the conversion from card catalogs. At least you don't have the problems San Francisco did. When they built their pretty new library they didn't include much space for books and so had to throw away a fair part of their collection.
As for coping, bring a smart phone and check Google or amazon for bibliographic details. It's not like the libraries cares about books much anymore.

Today I consign to Heck Virgin Trains online seat booking service. Whenever I ask for a window seat, I get a seat next to a blank bit of wall. I have twice asked for a seat next to a socket; the first time I actually was next to a socket - which did not work. Today my seat was nowhere near a socket but was next to that bloody blank bit of wall.

And on that note, TICTH everyone under 25. Maybe 30.
Pardon me while I go rip out my last two hairs.
I was 20 and my wife 21 when we got married. We did let her mother do most of the planning, however. And I've still not joined the ranks of the aged over-30s.
