The Pineapple Express

...should bring those white foamy drinks in silly glasses, sunshine, coconut and pineapples dammit!

Apparently not. It's brought rain, lots and lots of rain. A good day to stay inside and finish sorting out the cupboards above the stove. Which is what should be occupying HRG's time at the moment.

But there's still half a cup of too much coffee left, so let's play awhile shall we babies?

You know, it's nice when bureaucrats surprise you, isn't it? As you all know from my endless whining about it, there's a mess in front of our cute little house. Some of you may have even seen it, although there seems to be less traffic in our neighborhood now that the brightly colored port-a-pottie is gone. A phone call was made. Just one. They called back just like they said they would! Wow. And he was awesome, gave us the heads up about further construction and then gave HRG permission to rope off the grassy part on the other side of the fence! No red tape, just a simple conversation. Problem solved. It was a nice start to my day.

Then I read the papers. I've come to the conclusion that, present company and rabid fans excepted, people are stupid and I hate them. It stands to reason that if these things make me so crazy, then maybe not reading them would be the smart thing. Yes and no. You can't work for change if you're unaware of what's going on in the world. Seeing the inherent evil in people makes me look that much harder for the good. Without that balance, it would be insanely depressing. Without that balance there would be no hope. It's a big important word. Let's remember that, shall we?

Now, to be fair, there are "news" stories out there that do show not all people are soulless, some are just plain stupid. It's been said that stupid should hurt, like brain freeze or a really sharp noise. I agree. So very very many stupid people are out there babies, too many. And they're allowed to breed. People like that should be quarantined and sterilized.

Like the people who brought their ten year old daughter to a comedy show on Friday nite. And sat right up front. This is a well known comedy tour, these comics aren't telling knock knock jokes or cavorting onstage with a purple dinosaur. The only question to be asked really is...."wtf were you THINKING?!!" It was so unfair to everyone. The comics handled is well, although every one of them took a jab at the "responsible" parents. The audience agreed. No, they did not completely sanitize their show either, the consequence being the parents now have to explain stuff. Grown up stuff. Said with grown up words. Payback's a bitch babies, sometimes it truly is.

So there.
