The evil of timesheets...

I've just been introduced to the timesheet procedures at work. Hence, no more slacking off reading fics, or checking LJ (although, more times than not, I can't see LJ when I want to).

Thanks for the pics link tboy but I think it was sake. It's in Rogue, and it looks like they're eating Japanese, so that would make sense. I still want a better picture of the glasses themselves. There's another picture on Smallville News on the second page of the Rogue screencap gallery, but you can't see the glasses. I know that they lift them up and toast with them (you see it in the "Blah Blah Blah" Victoria music clip), so you'd think there'd be a picture of that somewhere.

Now, I'm going to have to do some work.

Pet peeve of the day...

...is stockings. Pantyhose. You know what I mean.

Why is it the the toes to the crotch is always too short (regardless of your actual height, but from the crotch to the wiast is long enough to reach my ribcage? I mean really, does anyone have a torso that fits these?

I admit that it could also have something to do with buying cheap pantyhose from the supermarket, but still...

Papa Lex

Since I can't seem to post any comments in LJ, I loved teenage Nicky, [Bad username or site: dammitcarl text= @ livejournal.com]. I love the relationship between Lex and Nicky. Too often, I can't help thinking that Luthors are bound to be terrible fathers. Admittedly, they probably produce extremely successful sons, but also manage to hurt them, and make them hate their fathers in the process. As emotional as Lex can be, he is also highly critical and demanding, at least of himself, so I think that in his own way, Lex could be just as damaging to his children as Lionel has been.

I don't think it would happen while they were tiny children, but I have a deep down distrust of Lex and teenaged children. (Um... as in, I think that having Lex as a parent could become horrifying as the kid became a teenager, and Lex stated to put adult expectations on them. Not as in I don't trust him around teenagers. Clark doesn't look fifteen, regardless of his birth certificate... and Krytonians may mature faster. *g*) I can easily see Lex being very demanding of his young heirs, regardless of how much he disliked Lionel treating him that way.

So, thanks Jess, for giving us a great example of Lex as a good father. Lex isn't too emotionally demonstative, but he isn't distant from Nicky, and it's obvious that he loves Nicky completely. *sigh* I love fics that make me think better of the characters...

(no subject)

I found a link to one of those simulated clock sites (y'know, the ones that show you how many people are dying this minute and how many are being born...). Check out the "Cumulative hours waited for internet to download this year" here. I know I've contributed to that!

In good news, I have Charmed on tape, waiting for me to get home, and I have the end of that Hornblower fic to read on the train. Plus it's a Friday, I can sleep in tomorrow, and there's no more trying to figure out what the heck I'm supposed to be doing until Monday.

Life rocks.
