Stray Thoughts
Did you watch the State of the Union address last week? I did. Michele and I decided the State of the Union should be a drinking game. Each time they stand, you do a shot. I can't remember how many we counted, but I think it was around 31. Then, if only half of them stand, you do "Rock, Paper, Scissors" to see who has to take the shot. We figure no one is really interested by the end anyway. Just think, though, if I'd been drunk at that point, I'd have missed the great message about steroids and how my people are weakening the moral fiber of our country. Interesting he had nothing to say about Mars, don't you think?
"Hey, we can't seem to find Bin Laden." "I know! Let's go to Mars!" Woo-wee! WTFever, dude.
Now, I'm not slandering Dubya. Really, I'm not. Some of the stuff he said sounded okay on my end. But it isn't like I'm the best judge ever on things like foreign policy and healthcare. The democrats confused me a couple of times when they didn't stand. I was all, "Hey! What was wrong with that sentence?!?"
And, I think Dean is a nutbar. Not because of the speech. Because he is angry. Angry can be good, but I can see him blowing up a country because they pissed him off and then apologizing for it. I'm unhappy with my evaluation of Dean, because I was really enjoying him. It is Dean that passed that thing in VT so I could married Michele. He has some good ideas. The electibility is not looking good. I don't suppose it matters what I think, anyway. I live in Texas. My vote has been cast.
I need a job. Very seriously. VERY seriously. I'm pissed because I found out my raise may not be what is should/could be. So basically, I'm performing for no reason. Bastards. First they took away my sick time, then the day after Thanksgiving, they move me to a new building, and then tell me I have to share my raise with the others. I know I should be grateful I'm getting a raise at all when so many people aren't, and I am. Really, I am. But I'm still pissed because what should have been a great raise is being most likely at least halfed. And that is BS. Because I was a top performer. Sometimes when I have a bad attitude I think there is no reason trying for anything because you get what you're going to get. And while I know that is a line of shit and very pessimistic, I pretty much feel that way right now.
Yet I'm going to school. *shrug*
I never said I wasn't a hypocrite.
Patti & Helen are going to get to adopt a little boy! They called us last night because they had him at their house and wanted me to meet him. He's sooo cute. They are going to be the best parents ever. From my perspective it seems like they really have their stuff together. I could be a little jealous. I'm so happy this is working out for them. They deserve it. Good Karma.
I got a new purse. When you open it, a light comes on inside and you can SEE what's in there. It was only $12. Score!
New glasses suck. You know those films like Blair Witch where the movie is filmed like the character is holding the camera? That's how I feel when I walk. It's so weird. I don't think it is indicative of anything. It's just bizarre. When I put the glasses on at the store on Friday, the ground was all wavy. Dang astigmatism. Or at least that's what the little man at the eye place said. He said it would be like that for a bit.
