zune1.jpgI don’t care what the haters say. I’m getting me one of them thar Zunes. It’s the ultimate in narcissistic fun. I can load nearly all of my vids on it and watch them ALL.THE.TIME. Somehow, I think vids by , , , and will find themselves on there as well, and enjoy more time on the playlist than my own! Hee!

Here was my conversation with Mom last night:

Me: Hey, did you hear about Zune?

Mom: Um, yes. How could I not?

Me: Yeah, I’m going to get one soon, but not just yet. I’m going to get a Zune, color, black, pretty soon though.

Mom: That sounds good.

Me: Yeah, those Zune, color, black, players seem really nice. I’d like to have one someday.

Mom: something about work

Me: Yeah, those Zune, color, black, players are cool.

Mom: Shut up, already. I get it.

HEE!

I’ve lost my damned mind. I’ve reactivated my eHarmony settings, but not my subscription. There’s absolutely no need for me to pay them money when I’m almost certain that there will be no matches found within a 30 miles radius (which is the farthest I’d go). If they can find a semi-suitable match, I’ll consider reactivating my account. Worst case scenario: I get matched up to some loser I already know. Yeah, I know that using a dating site makes me a loser, too, but even I have standards, low as they may be. The truth is, I don’t even know if I want to meet anyone. I’m certainly not going to put any effort into getting to know someone, and maybe I won’t even respond to any matches, but it would be nice to have someone around occasionally. Or not.

Damn you, Google and your manipulative ways of making me search for exes and finding out that they’re in happy relationships. Damn you to hell.

Leading in the race to be the most apathetic voter of the year:  Me!

Living in WV (or many places, to be honest), there isn’t much reason to get out and vote.  There aren’t even viable Republican candidates in any real races, and even if there were, I still wouldn’t vote for one of them.  I would vote ONLY if I truly believed in the candidate’s ability to work for all the issues I believe in, and since my beliefs are so scattered, that’s not likely to happen anytime soon.  I refuse to choose “the lesser of two evils” and be bothered by all the media hoopla of voting season.

The only race that ever means something deep to me is the BOE race where I work.  Since I don’t live in that county, I can’t vote for members anyway, so for me, Election Day is just a day to get out of work.

I almost wish the media wasn’t allowed to cover politics.  I don’t think we’re better or more informed for it.  There was a LOT less misinformation when town criers were all to be found.  I’m sick to death of simpleminded people being led one way or another by “something they read” from some biased, uneducated journalist.

*Whew*  Rant over.  Now I have to get Hobbit and Istar ready for their vet appointments.  I do not expect to make it through the day unscathed.

Monstrously Good Stuff

stash.jpgYou would think that getting a shipment from White Flower Lei would be enough of a great thing, but you’d be wrong. Having purchased the “Bliss” Soy Candle at Dragon*Con, I was confident I would also love the “Bliss” soap, also handmade by Virginia Hey. After experiencing the amazing meditation workshop by Virginia, I also purchased the “Chill” meditation CD. They arrived today with a lovely handwritten note from Virginia that I may just frame. Hee!

The next great thing happened when I realized that I had received not one, but TWO packages. and sure do know how to turn it out. OMG. No one is a bigger fan of Frankenstein that I am, and my guys are just remarkably great at picking out the perfect gifts. Starting in the upper left hand corner, I’ll describe: “Bliss” soap, “Chill” CD, Frankie cookie jar, Frankie “Trick or Treat” socks, handmade, extraordinarily clever card *loves*, and Frankie dish. (Not pictured because it’s already hanging up, is the cutest Frankie glass windchime in the world)! In no way do I deserve such wonderful things, but I just wanted to say to Ben and Jesse that “YOU ROCK!!”
