Smiting the stupid

Another Black Friday, another story of people being trampled. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people? It’s that fucking important to save $10? If I had been the guy on the floor while people LEAPT over me to get into the store, I would fucking lose my mind. If I were the manager of that store, I would make goddamn sure there were four employees out there at the opening of the door and anyone who pushed or shoved or JUMPED OVER SOMEONE ON THE FLOOR IN PAIN I would just make them go to the back of the fucking line. Goddamnit, people are shitheads. I’m so over most of humanity. UGH.

Upset enough to interrupt my sleep for this

I don’t get how such a huge chunk of the population can be so enamored with the steaming crap that is the Twilight series. I just don’t get it. And it’s not like I’ve never read (and enjoyed) a romance novel. It’s not like I haven’t watched and enjoyed plenty of brainless romantic comedies. NOT LIKE! NO! But I actually feel a modicum of physical pain thinking about how stupid Twilight is. I must end, lest the stupid ruptures a vessel and I bleed out (in hopes that a PROPER vampire comes along and sucks me dry — WHICH IS HOW IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE DONE, BTW, IDIOT WOMAN!)

/ END RANT

So in 2009 I read 65 books, the best of which was Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. I saw 56 movies, the best of which was Noises Off (it made me snort with laughter several times). 65 > 56, therefore I succeeded in reading more books than I watched movies. Yay! I did not, however, finish freakin’ 100 Years of Solitude, or the equally freakin’ Moby Dick, so one demerit for me. Second demerit for failing to read 100 books.

I also ended the year weighing seven more pounds than I started it. Which is yay, because how many of YOU can say you’re ready to hibernate through the winter?! YEAH, BABY! (Demerit.)

And now I’m tired of recounting 2009, so end and to bed.

Suck

Today was good, because I was alive, and nothing really bad happened to anyone I know.

There. There’s a little perspective.

Now I can say this: today sucked ASS. So much that I think there should be more S’s in that word. ASSSSSSSS.

It was hot, which sucked. I also learned that I suck at fixing mechanical things. SSSUCK. I tried to change the flat tires on our bikes today. It took me nearly four hours in all, during which time I was hot, got terribly dirty, and inflamed my thumbs trying to get the tires back on the rims. And they are still not fixed. They are merely mostly-fixed, as I couldn’t see well once the sun went down. ARGH! There is nothing more suck than not being able to finish a task when the end is so freaking near! SSSSSSS!

Then, the Dodgers lost to the goddamn Phillies, and I hate them. I hate the Phillies. I knew I would hate the Phillies again when my boys played them, and sure enough: I hate them again. Goddamn Phillies. Goddamn Pirates. I hate the Flyers, too. Goddamn all of Pennsylvania’s sports teams! /shakes fist

The falcon has flown away

Went to see Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs last night with Ai. It was very cute and entertaining; we both left the theater craving pancakes. :)

Been feeling unfocused lately. Not been motivated to work out, write, or even game much. Work is a bit stressful, but this is nothing new. Could it be that 30 is affecting my subconscious? Or am I just weirdly hormonal right now?

Must motivate self! Must drag self out of the doldrums!

Dating Tips: 9 Essentials for Single Women — Yahoo! Personals

Why does Yahoo! put this shit on the front page? This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. It should be entitled, “How women externalize their desperate shallowness in order to make themselves feel less alone because they don’t understand that things like this don’t make people happy.”

I’m grumpy because the Dodgers squandered a 6-0 lead, and because, despite promising the lords of the universe that I would (middle) name my first born child for whichever batter hit that home run to send the game into extra innings, there were no takers. Hence, there will never be a Max Juan Pierre Burdette, a Max Matt Kemp Burdette, or a Max Casey Blake Burdette.

And that pisses me off too.

ARRRRGH.

* denotes “Unadjusted for asshole cheating”

Dodgers are the best team in the majors right now!* Damn you for making my husband sad, you!

In more asshole news, the couple who lived next door to us (and had no compulsions about screaming obscenities at their children at 7:00 AM every morning because the kids didn’t want to get ready for school) moved away and abandoned their little kitten. We are now feeding her. I have named her Clementine. Curt doesn’t know it, but I am planning to smuggle her away with us when we move.

Well, that part isn’t asshole. That part is nice. :)
