teh stoopid, it hurts...

Chances are, if the school is called "Carlingford University," it's probably not legit.

guns + starbucks

Now, I really don't care for Starbucks, but that's no excuse to take your gun there.

Okay, all kidding aside, my opinion on the matter is probably pretty obvious [being the possible socialist that I am]. I really don't think you need a gun, and I REALLY don't think you understand the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Additionally, Starbucks in Sussex?! It's not like you're on North and Teutonia in the middle of the inner city.

The segment on the news was equally terrifying. The first darn thing I noticed about the people was they were all Caucasian. They're doing it for protection. Because, you never know when a homicidal [person-of-color] maniac is going to jump on the bus from the Milwaukee ghetto and ride out to the Sussex Starbucks and start shooting. You've got to be ready!

peace and love [and just really hoping for some semblance of sanity in this world],

the cute!

The sweetest, silliest, cutest monster cat in the whole wide world, Mr. Tux, sitting contentedly in the bathroom sink.

From My Cute Animals, this adorable panda playing!

And finally, this gigantic bunny!

dear idiots:

One week of weather does not nullify decades of climate change. Please remove your heads from your collective sphincters and stop talking about something you know nothing about.

thankful

After a crabby week of work, I'm trying to put a more positive spin on life. I'm really not a pessimistic person, but I was super-snappy and cranky this past week, in part to work-related burnout and in part to life circumstances. I don't like being crabby, it certainly puts a damper on my character ;) So what makes me happy, and what am I thankful for?

1. Wonderful friends, rainbow margaritas, and a table full of delicious Mexican food at La Fuente's.
2. Snuggly Mr. Tux.
3. Pandas.
4. Carrots and spicy 3 pepper hummus.
5. A cozy bed.
6. Long conversations with Mama Z.
7. The shadows from the sun shining through the ivy on my windows.
8. Writing letters, and getting "real" mail.
9. Planning our NYC trip.
10. Tim Easton.

bonus

As I work on my APR [annual performance review] in hopes of receiving a 3% raise--that amounts to about 78 cents--I can't help but express awe that $9 million is considered a small bonus!

peace and love,
