Must-See TV? *Wretching noises* July 20, 2007

OMG! This is too much! It’s not even 15 minutes into the special, and I just can’t take any more! Posh effin’ spice is ridiculous! TV is off!

Okay. It’s back on. It’s like a train wreck, I have to look. Damn it. These people have more money than fuck, and they are ignorant. Its a huge peeve of mine. It pisses me off, you know. I get so upset when I think about the wasted potential! How is it possible the stupid ones can be so loaded?

In my education/ career path, I’ve come across individuals who’ve not taken the important things seriously. Sure, I know that “important things” is a relative term. My important things? Well, making the most of an education, for one.

For instance, there was a portly young lady who had a college degree in communications. We worked together at the Chamber of Commerce, where she was the Convention & Visitor’s Bureau Director and I was the Communications & Special Events Coordinator. She couldn’t compose a sentence to save her life! It used to pain me to proof her contributions for the monthly newsletter! I’d feel nauseous whenever I received an email from her, simply because she made it so difficult for her readers to wade through her message!

But that’s not what really made me ill. What really pained me was the fact that she studied COMMUNICATIONS for FOUR F’ING YEARS! She had a BA in Communications! Which (need I say it?) implies she was supposed to know how to communicate! Pitty her Alma Mater! (Note to self…don’t send my children there!)

Another peeve of mine is the selling-out of my heros. I have been enjoying the musings of Diablo Cody for some time now. She blogs about her experiences as an unlikely stripper in Minneapolis. Her recent book, “Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper,” (which I have yet to read) is being met with rave reviews.

However, I’ve noticed that since she’s moved to LA, her blog entries are no longer as amusing. She writes about the B List celebrities she meets at parties, and I just hope, hope, hope Diablo’s integrity as a writer does not suffer for her forays into the limelight.

Oh Diablo, you have so much wit and charm and you’ve used it so well! Please don’t go over to the other side! Please!

Ostrich-Like Behavior Strongly Discouraged July 20, 2007

Ok, one more tense day to go before I can determine if my high emotional state of late is due to the stress in my life, or if it really is a case of PMS.

Dare I share? What the hell…

I have to go to court tomorrow for previous traffic violations. It is a pretrial hearing , but I am scared! Here’s how it all went down…I was pulled over two years ago for speeding. I was driving an uninsured borrowed car (Owner’s name to remain untold here.) I got a ticket for both speeding and failure to provide proof of insurance. About a week 1/2 later, pulled over for the same thing! Cited for the same thing! Turns out, insurance goes with the car, not the driver. My insurance did not count. I went to court, had two tickets dropped, but the driving without insurance meant I had to pay a fine and obtain SR 22 insurance. Which I did. Or so I thought…

I won tickets to the Modest Mouse concert back in April, had a perfect evening out, enjoyed the concert tremendously…and then, on my way home, was pulled over for a broken tail light. Turns out, my license was suspended. I did not know this at all…I was asked to step out of the car, the female cop handcuffed me and took me in to jail. I was devastated! Luckily for me…he he he….they let me go as soon as they booked me, took my picture and then paid the”rest of” my fine . Yeah. Turns out I still owed $172 on the insurance fine.

So, tomorrow I go to face the music over the fact that I was driving with a suspended license. It’s a misdemeanor! I could potentially go to jail for this. Gulp.

Check this out: God love the Genius who invented theTake 5 candy bar! The best PMS food, EVER!The perfect combination of sweet and salty…a mixture of chocolate, pretzels, caramel, peanut butter…oh. Simply perfect! (And, yes, that is me eating the thing at 40MPH. I swear, I wasn’t speeding. Nor was I driving recklessly. Okay. I am done incriminating myself. Bye for now.)

P.S. Yea! I didn’t miss The Beckhams… special. Turns out it is on right now. How shallow of me…
