I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up

I joined Facebook this weekend.

Tolkien vs. Jo

Jo, the kitty, regularly attacks my J.R.R. Tolkien books. Is she a huge fan and expressing her love as only a kitty can? Or maybe she hates his writing and tries to destroy the books? Maybe she is frustrated that she cannot turn the pages? Or do the books smell particularly pleasing to a cat? Are the books infused with salmon or catnip? Does she need more fiber in her diet? I have no idea why. Any ideas?

Get a Life

Yeah, news agencies need to find something real to report on.
Gahh!

WTF Part Deux

Thoughts on the L Word

We just finished watching the fourth season of the L Word. I actually like a few of the story lines this time, finally. They are doing a better job representing lesbians and transgender people. And they added some more people of color. I do hope that Jenny's boat is lost at sea and she never returns to the show. Also, I hope that Jenny stole the theme song and has it in the boat with her so it too will be lost at sea forever!

Interesting

This morning I woke up and heard Billy Idol's White Wedding in my head. Weird.

GHBeads

Yeah, so hey, did you all read about Aqua Dots? How they contain GHB, the date rape drug? Nice! Even nicer, the conversation I heard on the train tonight.

Man 1: So do your kids have those beads that were recalled? What are they called?

Man 2: Aqua Dots. No, they don't have any.

Man 1: Yeah, did you hear how they had GBH on them.

Woman: GHB. It's GHB.

Man 1: Oh yeah, the date rape drug. I wonder how many people have bought the Aqua Dots to slip to women in bars. laughing

Luckily, no one else laughed.

Yeah, so hey, don't let your 2 year old eat the Aqua Dots beads. Oh yeah, don't let 2 year olds play with beads unless they are the size of a large Chicken McNugget.

Also!

This is crazy and funny!

Why?

Why do they put pockets and belt loops on baby cloths?

You gotta read this!

Share your seat, Asshat!

Yeah, I hate it when people (usually men) on the commuter rail sit all spread legged and with their bag on the seat of a three seater to avoid having to sit with people. I have had to deal with two in two days, saying "Pardon me," and looking at the seat that should be available. One acted all huffy for half the ride, the other barely moved his bag (he was still taking up two seats) and acted benevolent for giving me a seat. Asshats.

Question

Is it just me or do those new adds for IPods on the T look like people from the 80s being electrocuted by their IPod?

Nuts

Clearly, I am loosing it. This morning, I woke up to Neil Diamond's "Turn on Your Heartlight" playing in my head.

Dear Parents of the Toddler on Both of my Flights

I had the extreme displeasure of sitting in front of your child on the way to Kansas City and back. I have three suggestions for you when you travel on a plane with that child.

1. Your child should use his indoor voice. The rest of us may not be thrilled to hear the shrill expansive vocalizations of his dear voice for four hours straight. (Please note that I am not talking about children who are crying. I am talking about a child just talking and playing.)
2. Do not allow the said child to kick the seats in front of him or repeatedly smack the tray table.
3. The plane is not a gymnasium so please do not allow your child to run up and down the aisle screaming, stomp loudly, or bother other travelers.

Thank you.

Potty Mouth

So, yesterday morning, I was scooping the kitty poop and putting it in the toilet to flush. We use Feline Pine so you can do that. Also, I love the Feline Pine. It is 1) Economical, 2) Non-Toxic, 3)You flush the poop and can compost the rest. So I was scooping and dropped the poop into the toilet and water splashed up and hit me in the face! EEEEWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is a gal to do in this situation, I ask? Wanting to sanitize my befouled face and lips, I Purell-ed my face. What a great start to the morning!

Oh Dear!

You know what is not cool? Spinning rims on a tan Taurus station wagon.

Autumn Leaves

Dear Autumn Leaves,

You are so pretty on the tree. But when you fall down, I have to rake you. As you can see, there are two giant piles of leaves on the street (for street pickup) that I have already raked. Please for the rest of the season, fall into the neighbor's yards. Thank you.

Love,
Hashbrown
