10 Things That Are Currently Pissing Me Off

1. Single people in SUVs. Especially women. Yes, I did so just say that.

2. Stupid, stupid designer sunglasses. Like, so you buy Dolce & Gabbana or worse yet a fake knockoff just to wear the ugly sunglasses that make you look like you have money, and that’s why I don’t feel bad about saying number one. We do it to ourselves, as a gender, with our ridiculousness. Can’t we all just stop trying to impress each other with meaningless stuff and focus on being interesting?

3. Flavored coffee. Am I the only one who thinks drinking this is like drinking cologne? A little dab’ll do ya, but an entire cup is just disgusting.

4. The new Poland Spring bottle. I’m sick of environmentalists in general (WHAT? I don’t hate the environment itself!), and the Poland Spring bottle is another dumb passive way for people to feel like they’re doing good for humanity without actually doing anything. Even Cher did actual work for the Pismo Beach Disaster relief. The new Poland Spring bottle is weak and way too noisy and just not the same.

5. The fact that I haven’t been on vacation in years and am getting The Itch, but have no money to scratch it with.

6. Bloggers who do whatever to keep their old blogs up top on the subscription list. I have new stuff I want to read by people who wait their turn like good little boys and girls. I shouldn’t have to sift through stuff I’ve already read and commented on (with the subject line of course in ALL CAPS which is also some bullshit), just to get to the stuff I want to read for the first time.

7. People who say "I’m not racist, but..." then say something racist. Saying you’re not a racist does not make it so.

8. "Survivor." I have watched exactly one episode of this season. Never in my life has a show fallen so hard in terms of inability to get over itself and do what it does best. The casting is deplorable, and stop trying to tell us all how much we love James, because I think he is overrated like crazy, and misogynistic to the nth degree, AND either way, anyone who likes Parvati has to have some screws loose. I can’t believe they wouldn’t give me a call, but fucking Parvati gets to be on the show twice. Gross.

9. The Winter That Would Not End.


I am leaving it at nine, and we will see whether I have a late-night freakout over the non-OCDness in my bed, a la Monica. But now the blog is open for any and all bitching you’d like to do about life.

One more thing -- if you’ve never listened to the album below, you really, really should. It was a phenomenal debut and the later stuff wasn’t as consistent, but this album is impeccable. Even if chick music isn’t your "thing," the music itself is apparently really complex according to Jim my musician friend, and the lyrics are incredible. To this day, 13 years after my first of many listens, and having memorized every word on the album long ago? I still get blown away by certain lines that I didn’t fully grasp before. Truly an amazing album.

Tails!
