• Dear Government Officials: We elected you to run the country, not act like preschoolers fighting over a playground ball. Grow up and do your jobs. Thank you, Concerned Citizen.
• I started this course at 8 AM last Sunday, and we have class at 8 AM tomorrow morning too. Tonight feels like my third consecutive Thursday night. I am normally much more tired on Fridays/Thursdays…guess that goes to show how exhausting the normal job is.
• Songs I Hate, Volume Two: Since I am in DC, my radio stations aren’t set, and since I have to drive winding roads that make manual scanning a potentially lethal event, I am pretty much stuck listening to songs I can’t stand. These are the ones I just heard today on the hour-long commute.
o “Your Body is a Wonderland” AND “Daughters,” by John Mayer. Ugh, talk about torture. As I understand it, Daughters is basically saying, “men of America, be nice to your girls so that when they are older and I want to sleep with them, they won’t be crazy.” Excuse me? And I can’t listen to the other song without thinking about all the diseases playing around in Mayer’s personal wonderland. I hope he issues all his riders full-body ponchos. Ewww.
o “Fireflies.” Who likes this song??? I will risk driving off the road to turn it down. So inane. So annoying!! And didn’t it come out like two years ago? Fireflies live like 30 days, why can’t the song share that lifespan?
o “Tonight I’m Loving You,” Enrique Iglesias. I actually kind of find this song fun to bop to at 7:30 in the morning, but I was very sad to learn the actual un-edited title is “Tonight I’m Fucking You.” Oh, Enrique. The Latin Lover who could be my Hero, baby, has gone all perve-y.
• I get basic cable but apparently not the channels I truly need to be happy, because there are some TV shows I am going crazy without:
o Food Network—I didn’t get to see the Chopped All-Stars season finale!! Or the premiere of Food Network Challenge Last Cake Standing. Gotta love your elaborate, pointless cakes!
o Travel Channel. A few episodes of Man Vs Food would really make me feel better about the fact that I have to either eat out or microwave my dinner every night. And my Friday nights are very sad without Ghost Adventures. Did you know the lead investigator (the guy with the large cross tattoo on his back) is a wedding DJ in his other life? A WEDDING DJ?!?!?!? Makes watching him compensate for his shortcomings by out-macho-ing a bunch of invisible, possibly non-existent entities just THAT much more entertaining.
o Discovery. Mythbusters is back, and I can’t watch it!!!! I’ve decided I’m related to Adam Savage, and even if it’s not biologically true, he’s my soul brother. I reject this reality of not having my favorite channels, and substitute my own.
• Finally, I have discovered a new term. From here on out, I would like to be referred to as a “control enthusiast” rather than a “Control freak.” New favorite title!! Credit goes to http://www.crazyauntpurl.com. If you’re not reading this blog, you should. Well, if you’re a girl who loves cats.
Ok, that is all. Happy weekend!!
