I been slacking

I feel guilty for not writing, even though no one reads. I've been so angry and disappointed lately that I've been self medicating into thoughtlessness every night, and I FEEL FINE DAMNIT!

Seriously, the cable news has gone back on the ol' missing white girl/celebrety news (does anyone really care?)gravy train. I guess having a couple square hundred miles of homes, businesses and natural areas wiped out by a hurricane, and a two wars (remember afghanistan? we've still got guys there too!) and every republican being charged with some criminal violation isn't news any more.

Random crapola -
CD's
Dimension Mix - a compilation of remixes and covers of Bruce Haak and Esther Nelson songs by some of todays best artists. Beck was hardly disappointing (thanks scientology for destroying the spokesman of MY generation! You rotten fucks), and the rest of the album is stellar!! Great music from Eels, Tipsy, Fantastic Plastic Machine...and Money Mark's contribution was just plain creepy. I will be featuring this on my radio show this week.

Fall - Heads Roll - A great new album by my favorite pronunciationalist, Mark E. Smith. Not as consistantly good as The Real New Fall EP, but there is lots of good stuff on here. While I generally only like fast songs, it's nice to hear them playing in a variety of tempos. Bonus! A cover of "I Can Hear The Grass Grow" Mark E. Smith. I love you.

Other good stuff:
Roller Derby - I gots me that ol' ache again, and it burns so good. Back to practice, back to knocking down girls on skates...back to getting my ass whupped by everyone else who is way more motivated to excersise than I will ever be. I should seriously do my sit and push-ups at home...but I hate 'em! Being a childfree adult, it's hard for me to do the things I hate. It's not like I need to be a good role model or anything.

Billy Nayer Show - I love the movie American Astronaut, and all their music. My boyfriend was lucky enough to go see them last night in Milwaukee, and brought back tons of BNS schwag and a caramel apple (not associated with BNS). He said it was a great show.

Now I'm outta steam, and feel I've fufilled my obligations to myself. I guess I'll go back to the salt mines now.

Chatty today?

Okay, I know don't know what the hell I'm doing here.
As soon as I posted the CNN post, I got a whole bunch of messages about how interesting my blog was (all TWO posts!), to keep going with it and then pointing me in the direction of (I'm guessing) their blogs. I am guessing these would be blogs about selling crap, financing auto loans, or building a wine cellar. Not really what I'm into, being a slacker who works full time at a nonprofit agency, I don't have a lot of crap to sell, nor do I have money or time to invest in new cars, homes or wine cellars.

I am guessing, because I am both paranoid and cynical, that these posters are fakes, and out to get my boo-boo, not actually people who are reading this. Now if you have been able to stomach my rantings enough to keep reading and enourage me, kudos to you! You are probably a patient, kind and thoughtful person. HOWEVER, if you are a person who has sunk so low as to SPAM comment on folks' blogs...jebus crisp, I already get enough unwanted crap in my email box, I REALLY don't want it here.

Enlightening suggestions or comments? Anyone? Anyone?

I hate CNN

I hate celebrities and I hate CNN for reporting on celebrities like they were real people who did interesting things. I hate that CNN has an hour of entertainment news from 6 till 7pm, like it's news that some talentless dumbass married a pouty mouthed slag, or some dickweed with too much damn money bought a house or some cow of a singer made a baby with her whore of a boyfriend. GUESS WHAT???!! NORMAL PEOPLE DO SHIT LIKE THAT EVERY DAY and you don't hear about it. Is it because celebrities are really SO COMPLETELY STUPID that it is in fact news that they are able to complete these mundane tasks without the assistance of a personal care attendant? Oh wait...THEY DON'T. They actually do each have a posse of attendants, secretaries, trainers and assistants so they don't have to actually DO ANY ACTUAL TASKS....BECAUSE THEY'RE CELEBRITIES YOU SEE, and thusly MUCH MUCH BETTER and MORE SPECIAL than you or I.

Unfortunately, I do not feel better, because I still have to hear about those rotten assholes every time I turn on a television, radio or leave my damn house.

I don't even read the damn things, but I do enjoy going off about crap. I do not care about spelling or grammar, if you can understand what I'm trying to say, great. If not, please feel free to ask. Ask all the questions you want, I may or may not answer them. Lets just call this is my happy fun playground time to tap on the monkey board. If you must join in, fine.

Every once in a while a news, or weather, person will....I dunno how to put it...catch hold of my imagination. Richard Quest of CNN-International, Dave Schwartz of the Weather Channel and now....Rita Cosby. God, I love her voice. I love how she doesn't ever seem to ask questions, just verify how horrible something is with the folks who've just been through it. I love how she dresses, like your favorite teacher in 5th grade, you know, the one who remembered your birthday and smelled like strawberries. All those bitches on FOX, they sound the same and look like porn stars. I don't want some hot chick with perky tits telling me that the world is ending. I want one of those perfect ladies from the suburbs who'll dish up horror with a side serving of mashed potatoes and gravy. Plus, she really does have the strangest voice on television, and that's just plain cool. Let your freak flag fly, sister! And she helps me go to sleep...so I'd better lie down on the couch and listen to her oddly soothing tones.
