What I hate is being in the bathroom at work (or anywhere), washing my hands, then someobody walks in. That person makes the bum's rush for the nearest stall and locks themselves in. Now, I'll be done and out of here in two seconds, but does he use this time to make himself comfortable, warm up the pot? No. He unleashes a hell-torrent squeaky-explosive ass rips that send me staggering out of the restroom in shock. Dude--we get it: you're taking a dump. Give me a chance to leave you with some privacy, bro! Is this not etiquette, because it should be.
Further, I got like no hours of sleep last night, so have minimal energy. I blame my roommate, because I only have one for a couple more weeks, and I've gotta get my blamin' in while the blamin's good. Plus, it's his fucking fault.
Nothing a Red Bull can't fix...
Since I don't watch a lot of TV, but have the Olympic bug this year, it's been kind of tough going as far as actually being able to watch them. I spent a good deal of my time in front of a computer, and so the fact that the Olympics can largely be viewed online would seem like a good thing. Except that it's not, because I, like a lot of people, want to watch the swimming events, among others, but NBC is to good to let me watch that shit online, so I have to watch it on the telly, except my TV gets shit reception of NBC. So I'm forced to read about it and look at pictures, like the poor person I am. (I tried a youtube hack [or did I? i didn't] that bypass Universal's rules so that I could watch the games there, but they figured that shit out and cut me off [sad face]).
Anyway, here are the top five countries at this point, courtesy of NBC, who should just let me watch the Olympics online, 'cause it's not like the online videos don't also have commercials (who watches TV anymore anyway, jesus!) [NBC] (picture via NYT).

Deadspin writes a lot about this stuff too, better than I ever will. Actually watching the events in real-time probably helps, but I'm at work, and thus am not required to think too much about that.
And since we don't just want to hate on some chick without being nice to another, we'll throw out some approval to Selma Blair, who is in Hellboy 2, and about whom we never hear anything bad, so: Selma Blair, you're an awesome chick, so good for you.
...I'm just, y'know, saying.
Will Smith begat a trend. Next up, briefly, is Jessica Alba, though my want for her to go away is less complex, more essential. The thing is, directors seem to be tempted to hire her, and so she will be cast in decent movies, ditzing it up in a ruining way. I mean, starring in Hayden Christensen coma thrillers is one thing--but please stay away from any further Sin Cities, THANK YOU. I will take Rose McGowan's pseudo-comic stylings over this one's wooden line readings any day. But to show I don't just hate actors, or good-looking people, I will say that Rosario Dawson is underrated, genuinely seems to be talented, and should get whatever roles she goes out for, because she doesn't suck, like Jessica Alba, who is fucking awful.
I don't know what it is, but i can't stand Will Smith. Not in movies, at least. I mean, I'm an American, so therefore i like the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, the award-winning (I'm assuming, I'm not looking this up) NBC comedy that paved the way for rappers-turned-actors everywhere. I have a soul, y'know? I liked independence day (not the holiday, though it's ok) as much as the next person who was too young to realize it was silly at the time, and so just assumes they still like it.
More or less awesome...
I like Men in Black, the Bad Boys movies and...that's about it. People tell me the Pursuit of Happiness is a good movie, but why do i need to see a movie about poor black folks? I grew up with them, i don't need to watch a millionaire Scientologist (allegedly) pretend to be one, thanks. My ten dollars would only compound the problem. iRobot was okay, if you're into shitty special fx and will smith acting like a badass who hates robots for no reason; and I am Legend suffers the same fate--will smith pretending to be both ignorant and badass until he learns his lesson on a road of shitty cgi and one-liners. What a terrific fucking actor! I mean, I'll give him Ali, sure, I'm not trying to take anything away from the dude, I'm just saying, I kind of can't stand him.
My reaction to Hancock's opening box office receipts.
My point is, i don't get it. I mean, i do, but i don't.
Until this guy challenges himself, and me, and makes a movie that
hasn't been diced to shit by movie executives, I Will (haha) hate on
him in both private and public. Throw us a bone, Willenium. We're paying for this shit, dude!
