Two quick snapshots since today was such a lovely day. The first is my unusually happy cat lying in the window, and the second is the seeds I just planted on Friday. They’re growing like crazy; I hope they live to become pretty flowers. (I use my Handspring as a digital camera; that’s why the quality is shite.)

So I went to the local Volkswagen place today get the oil in my car changed. I told them I’d wait for it, so I brought a book along to pass the time. When I went into the little waiting room, there was this other woman in there. She looked a little bit older than me, but not much. She had a lot of nervous energy and was giving me a weird vibe. Anyway, I immediately started reading my book while she watched television. She waited until I glanced at the tv, and then said, “Is there anything you want to watch?” I said, “No thanks, whatever you want is fine,” and went back to my book. She leaned over and asked, “What are you reading?” and then whispered to herself, “I’m nosy.” I sort of laughed and held up the book so she could see the cover. She went, “OH, COOL!” I said, “Have you read it?” and she said, “No, I’ve never heard of it!” I sort of just went, “Um.” She said, “What’s it about?” and I replied, “It’s a bunch of short stories. It’s, um, it’s okay, I guess. Nothing great.” She said, “Fiction or non-fiction?” I said, “Oh, fiction. British, actually.” (I have no idea why I added that.) She bubbled, “Oooooh, like Bridget Jones?” And, even though, no, not at all like Bridget Jones, I replied, “Yes.” So then there’s this uncomfortable silence, and then she says to me, “Here’s what I’m reading,” and holds up this book. How the hell am I supposed to react to that? You know what I did? I snorted. I SNORTED. She looked at me and said, “You better read this before you get married.” I said, “Yeah, mmhmmm,” and then quickly began making fake cellphone calls. I just did not want to have that conversation. Anyway, when her car was ready, she hopped out of her chair, gathered her things (including a 2 liter bottle of caffeine-free Coke), looked at me, and said, “Well goodbye. Whoever you are,” and ran away.

Another totally bizarre news article courtesy of Beth. This one was sent with the comment, “I don’t remember show-and-tell being that exciting when we were in school.” Yeek!

As you probably know by now, the assclowns at FOX cancelled my favorite show, Undeclared. However, they were kind enough to send one unaired episode to Television Without Pity, and you can read the recap and say goodbye to all your friends. :: sniff ::

You know, part of me can appreciate Kimmi Kappenberg’s opinion, and her right to have it. But there’s another part of me that wonders why, if she feels so strongly about reality television, she would go on a reality television show and take advantage of all the benefits it brought her. And then there’s the other snarky part of me that remembers her as being quite an idiot, and also as someone who had no problem scarfing down living insects.
