Driving Pet Peeves and Other Random Observations

[amberfocus]

1.  People who do not use their blinkers to signal their intentions on the freeway during rush hour.

2.  People who tailgate when you are already going 5 mph over the speed limit and there is NO ONE in the passing lane, conditions are good, and they still will not pass you.

3.  People who pass you and then proceed to slow down to 5 mph slower than the speed limit.

4.  People that pass a semi-truck (lorry for you Brits) and do not give them enough room so that they have to slam on their brakes and fishtail, risking every other life on the freeway.

5.  People entering traffic who are supposed to yield but refuse to.


Can you tell I had to drive on the freeway today?

Also, to not leave things on a totally negative note, seen on a t-shirt in the high school parking lot:

Haikus are easy
But they don't always make sense
Refrigerator

I will be glad when school is out.


I appear to be over my writer's block (or perhaps canon cockblock is a better term).  Things are coming along slowly but surely.


I am rewatching Fringe.  It's funny how many details they put into season one that I didn't catch the first time around that led to the parallel worlds storyline.  I love watching the evolution of Peter's realtionship with Walter and his relationship with Olivia.  I love the emotional depth Anna Torv can show with just the minutest changes in facial expressions.  I forgot how much I adored Charlie and the evolution of Broyles from ass to the best guy to have in your corner.  Although I did get to episode 2x11 today and would really like to know why the heck Charlie is in it when he was killed earlier in the season.  I remember that being done when it aired, too.  Pretty big screw up to air them out of order like that when a character is dead.

Why are there not more Fringe/Doctor Who Pete's World crossover fics?  The setup is perfect, much better than some of the ones I've seen for other shows.
