Scribblings

I would have had something up on the blog earlier but being blind in one eye has seemingly put half my brain to sleep. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Until the clot dissolves and I can see again out of that eye, expect this excuse to crop up time and time again. 

The women of Fox News do realize, don’t they, that the color blond they are sporting is only ever seen in nature in children under five? I wonder if Fox News just buys the hair dye by the caseload and distributes it as part of their pay?

Hands down it’s Despicable Me 2.  If I ever have babies, I want them to be just like the Minions… and come to think of it, given the age of my eggs, they probably would.

Let’s hope humanity does not act as stupidly in 2014 as it did in 2013 or someone might just choose to pull the plug on this grand experiment we call life. So the ones making it bad for the rest of us – you know who you are – get with the program and stop being such assholes.

Saturday, 3 PM. My dogs woke up long enough to eat and move to their downstairs bed.Even the birds are having trouble staying awake long enough to put out squak or two. I didn’t even make it to the shower until 2 PM. The most productive thing I’ve done so far is a load of wash, and I only did that because I was running out of underwear. I have leftovers to heat for dinner. Three hours of Big Bang Theory reruns taped to watch. Popcorn to make. Wood to burn in the fireplace to take the chill off the

My favorite are the surveys that ask if you plan to vote Democrat or Republican in the upcoming election and when you answer that it depends on who is running because you vote for a candidate and not a party, they tell you that’s not an acceptable answer.

Ah democracy in America in 2013… truly an endangered species.

I’ve simply not had time to get my Scrooge on yet. But I have enough of it on to stay away from children and others of good cheer on this day. Apparently wishing everyone a Bah Humbug is considered by some bad taste. Bah Humbug to them, I say.
