My (mostly) incredibly lousy day.

WARNING: MUCH WHINING TO FOLLOW. Seriously, no one incident today was really that big a deal. But, by the end of the day – which isn’t over yet, mind you -they all added up to a huge pain in the butt. The morning started with no water.  Well, there was water for a while.  It [...]

And the gap widens.

As if I needed another reason to disdain the “soccer mom” demographic, polls this morning are reporting a twenty point swing in white women voters to McCain. Because of Sarah-frickin-Palin. You know, the one who: – doesn’t think you have the right to make decisions regarding your own body. You got raped and pregnant? Well, [...]

Breakfast FAIL!

I really should keep eggs and such around the house. I really have no ingredients here – everything is pre-made, packaged or frozen. Then again, I just had to throw away oleo because it had turned pink. I, um, don’t cook very often. That said, anything I would make would have to taste and look [...]

A wag of the finger to Target

After a couple of months of trying to resist, I bought myself a really neat solar system picture yesterday. It just makes me smile with the robots and the spaceships and the green glitter. And I had a spare wall in my computer room which is where my nerdiness all hangs out. Uploaded with plasq‘s [...]

Um…no, thanks. Really.

Looking for a quick way to drop 115 bucks and induce people to ask repeatedly, “You paid what for those? Seriously?” Here ya go… Uploaded with plasq‘s Skitch! But hey – they’re sustainable. Made in Brazil with natural tanning methods, kissed by vegan tribesmen before lovingly placed in a recycled cardboard box. Seems to me [...]

And with spring…

…comes all of the freakin’ babies. Spare me.  Please. It’s bad enough that I have to try to hide my indifference or even revulsion when a coworker shoves a picture of a red, crusty, hours-old infant under my nose.  But now, I have to deal with this crap in my online havens.  And I’m pissed. [...]

Reason #1,897,560 why I am childfree

This is Gidget. It’s kind of hard to tell from this photo but Gidget has three legs.  She lost the right front leg at the age of four months after she was thrown by a four-year-old.  The bones were shattered so badly that there was no choice but to amputate.  When she arrived at the [...]

Video appears to show Marine abusing puppy – CNN.com

Video appears to show Marine abusing puppy – CNN.com This was how my day started.  Good Morning America covered this story and showed the video.  Thankfully, they stopped the picture but they didn’t cut the sound of the terrified puppy after this psychopathic bastard threw him.  It literally made me cry and haunted me all [...]

Ralph Nader is an asshole.

Sorry – there’s just no other way to put it.   Look, I’m all about freedom of choice.  I know the Green Party wants their voice to be heard.  But when you run a candidate who will pull votes but has no chance of winning, the only thing you accomplish is looking like a spoiled brat [...]

One step closer to living in a cave…

By the time I get home from work, I’ve generally had it with people. I’m content to close the door on the world, touch base with online friends, maybe blog a bit. This is good. Tonight, my Mom called to see if I wanted to grab Chinese. This sounded a lot better than my planned [...]
