Everything is Wonderful Now.

That old adage of not adding fuel to the fire seems to completely overlook those situations where the ones starting the fire and smacking you on the effigy block really have nothing better to do than go around and nitpick away, even though the group they are nitpicking hasn’t done a thing in retaliation or affirmation. Yes, I’m aware that the site that we shant refer to for fear they may think that we reciprocate the crush they have on us *gasp* used our icons. I can’t access the website so I’m trusting the few people who told me what appeared to be going on and how they think the terms and conditions submitees assent to is being violated by--heaven forbid--us! Now, I could bust out my shiny law degree and explain that terms and conditions, as well as an acceptance to those terms and conditions, does not natural law supersede. I could try to explain that you can’t contract away rights you don’t have, and thus it logically flows that no one has rights in those things that bear no legal protection to begin with. But? It would do absolutely nothing. Pity. I do so love being a litigious whore, too.

Also, one last bit of house keeping. I know we’ve been kind of “slacking” with the frequency of our reviews. Between the school year resuming, new jobs, vacations, medical issues, Nazi employers who forbid blogging at work etc, we’re regrouping. I’m thinking the “order” we have going on at the moment is going to go straight out the window. Certain reviewers may appear more frequently, but that’s just the way it goes.

And now, it’s review time. The Wonderful World of Des isn’t so much wonderful as it is tolerable. Honestly, the only reason I say this is because the pink template is the equivalent of walking in on your own parents making whoopee, it hurts your eyes and leaves the world looking a little less shiny and bright.

Occular assault aside, the word “sigification” is either misspelled and should be signification, or it’s her attempt to pull a Beyonce and put a word that really has no business in the dictionary into the dictionary. We all have our causes. The sidebar would be fine; however the maps are fucking huge and extend well beyond the sidebar and, depending on the resolution your screen is, well beyond the screen itself. I have nothing against horizontal scroll bars, but when their existence is to see a map of the places your readers come from? That’s one of those “no one gives a shit but you” situations, so at least make it fit in the sidebar.

Writing wise, she’s a bit all over which my ADD self is rather fond of. She even talks about one of my favorite movies “Big Fish” in the middle of a post that starts with an introspective look about God via XTC lyrics and her view on how fate works. She’s from Brooklyn, I love Brooklyn for reasons I won’t go into other than to say “Sheepshead Bay represent!” and she makes cool jewelry.

My only complaint is it seems like she’s trying a bit hard to be callous. Could just be my perception.

I give it for the writing. I'd go three, but that template really does leave me in pain.

I also give it a for the Beyonce move. Sorry, I really can't let it slide.
