Yet another day at work and I'm looking forward to my three days off. I began learning how to do the paperwork today, which is scarier than being a plain Bread Bitch. I also had lots and lots of cheese to grate - a job that still amuses me.

I've finally gotten around to reading Draco Dormiens after being unable to get past the first page last time I tried. I can understand why it was so popular, but I can also understand the backlash against it. I have some problems with links to pictures appearing through the text, and I was picking up some rather obvious references that weren't referenced.

I've also been wandering around ff.net. I think the attraction of ff.net is that it's like watching a car wreck. On the M*A*S*H page came one of my favourite summeries

The gang all gets back together for a reunion at Klinger's new home in South Korea when the Koreans decide to go into another war and bring the US back into it...the whole place is off limits and no one can get home...but everyone's children are there too

I'm going to have to read this one, just to see what the writer does with that predicament *g*

However, I did find one little drabble that just cracked me up: America the Beautiful by S. Hornbach (West Wing)

Oh, look - Grease is on. I've got it on tape and I've seen it maybe a hundred times, but I'll probably watch it anyway. Mostly for Stockard Channing. And the great seventies look set in the fifties . . .

Amen to train wreck.

It's bad enough with HP fics, but.... Starting a whole new Korean war? Really?

It's gotten to the point that I don't even want to troll ff.net for the good fics I've been trying to follow. The cringe factor's judt too high.

*grins at the summary*...do you ever read [livejournal.com profile] mctabby's Summary Executions? She finds the most appalling summaries for Potterverse fics.

I generally ignore all of ff.net except for the L. M. Montgomery section, which is small enough that the bad stuff can be passed over fairly easily.
