I'm developing some new hatreds (but I'm not sure yet whether they're going to turn into long-term hates). I hate using a modem to download Mac IE5, like I can even browse fast enough at the moment to make use of it. I hate asking my ISP if they'll be going unmetered in the future, only to get a response full of FUD. I hate MySQL for not noticing letter accents in SELECTS and forcing me to rewrite half of Dirk2 to compensate. I hate people who talk in cinemas, and who laugh when okay yes you could laugh at the film, but in the context of the story itself, within its own consistant internal universe, you couldn't possible laugh with. I'm one of those people who thought Starship Troopers was a serious war movie; can you tell?
 
Okay but I love some stuff too, and if ever I forget that I just need to juice a quarter of a watermelon (sans skin) and two (unpeeled, uncored) crisp, sweet, juicy apples. Mm.
