It looks spooky outside...smoky, hazy air...about usual for this time of year in CA. Thank goodness I live in an area not affected by any of the fires...so far. I only have to deal with the smelly, smoky air so I can't complain. I haven't been out of the house this weekend except to go to the market for groceries. I was needing ingredients for making some comfort food...what with all the fires going on and PMS and all that. Too much information? Heh.
The news coverage of the fires in CA have been non-stop. I thought surely the Prop 8 protests on Saturday would not be going on in the Southern CA area at least, since all the Fire and Police departments would be busy with dealing with the fires...but no...whiny crybabies still have to have their tantrums while all this chaos is going on. I have no problem with same sex marriage and even voted against Prop 8. I was genuinely surprised that Prop 8 even passed here in liberal CA. But the people have spoken and it's done...well...done until it gets turned over by the court. Why even have people vote if the court is going to decide how people should have voted in the first place? So, now I'm angry and irritated (and it's not just PMS!)...I'm angry that the people voted and it's going to get "unvoted." I'm irritated with all these whiny-ass bitches crying about civil rights (is marriage a right? I've always thought of it as a privilege...) when there are already civil unions available in CA which accord the same benefits to "domestic partners" as "married" people. If all this whining and crying is over semantics...really? REALLY????
And all these boycotts and blacklisting (yes, BLACKLISTING) of people and companies who had donated to the Yes on Prop 8 cause...just really off-putting...and scary. Just who are the FACISTS now????
Ugh...so yeah, I need some comfort food...some turkey meatloaf ..and Dexter tonight!
Well, at least now I can live in denial for a little bit and enjoy all the TV shows that are coming back on schedule. I'm enjoying Fringe very much. It's X-File-y. I am not enjoying Heroes...all that time travel crap is confusing. I'm hoping Pushing Daisies doen't get cancelled. That's a great show and I hope they bring back Paul Reubens' character. I really like Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The time travel stuff isn't as confusing if you don't think about it too much...heh.
Well, I can't entirely escape from any news of "that one." I wasn't a fan of Nancy Reagan but, come on, show some class and respect Mr. President Elect...at least that will make it easier for me to accept when you take my hard earned money that I worked for and use it to pay for all those national programs and services you've got planned for us. Goodbye 401k! I was so looking forward to the day when you and I would spend our retirement together...sigh.
Well, there is still some time left before it's the USSRA (United Socialist States of the Republik of Amerika), so I'm still enjoying Chuck. The premise is silly, but I like the characters on the show. I like How I Met Your Mother. Neil Patrick Harris is great. I'm enjoying Samantha Who? Christina Applegate is adorable. And even though blowhard Alec Baldwin is on 30 Rock, I still like that show and find his character hilarious. Yeah, even though Tina Fey is really making fun of Sarah Palin when she plays her, I still find the show really funny...heh.
Well, I really shouldn't be so bitter. There's always hope for tomorrow...
PALIN in 2012!!!!!
What a sad day for this country. Now I really, really, really, have to have HOPE that the Dear Leader won't run this country into the crapper.
