Okay so… I know that everyone likes preparing for Christmas in August.
I am so not good a this, because the year I bought everything in advance I misplaced all my gifts.
So, I still need to shop… but when I go to stores and see countdown clocks I feel a bit like this:
Nice Pee Wee placement, right?
Am I the only one who really dislikes countdowns to holidays? I mean they make me so nervous:

This morning sit back with your cheerios and think of Johnny Depp.
30% of the world is doing the same thing;
this includes 46,000 librarians, 21,000 Mc Donald’s employees, 1,200 pastry nozzle makers, 720,000 college students and 14 Crazy Rat Ladies, Tim Burton and me.
Have a niiiiiiiiiiice day.

And she’ll fill your heart with joy!
I used to love this tv show… Vicky was awesome. And easy to relate to due to the fact my mother dressed me like Small Wonder for most of my childhood. That girl who lived next door was creepy though… I still have nightmares about her. She even had creepy hair:
But now i am older and not full of pixie sticks and pop rock i realize having a little girl robot is grossly wrong…
but mostly because of moments like this:
If I had a robot I would want one like this:
And then he could be smart assy and clean the dishes, and have a british accent.
And he’s so adorable.

I have an issue. I don’t believe in the new trend of organics.
I believe everything that comes from the earth is inherently organic. So some aspect of a tomato is organic, some aspect of cotton is always organic.
What I really don’t get is paying like $7.00 for a small bags of oranges.. because they claim they are organic. (read all the stickers on them… they are not all organic)

Happy Fourth of July!
On this day a boatload of years ago (233 to be exact), we said we didn’t like England. And we became our own country… it was really awesome.
Because Abraham Lincoln was our president:

I have a sad tale to tell.
And I’m going to start with a reference to Christine’s recent graduation. How do you deal with disappointment?
In recent times people have become obsessed with the idea of being healthy, although most people just loaf about downing caffeine like water while watchin’ Oprah. But I must admit, I’m fine with health nuts… I even cavort about town with them. I have no problem if you like go to Trader Joe’s and spend an exorbitant amount of money on oranges… see if I care.
But I do care about certain things, like chicken. Everyone that knows me knows how I feel about chicken… you can keep your cow, pig or squirrel (or whatever meat you like) and just hand me some chicken. I’ll be happy.
I must also admit… I love all types of chicken. Seriously, it’s all good (except beaks and feet, thank you) Especially my beloved fried chicken. A favorite at diners, amusement parks and with the Colonel.
Now as I mentioned the world is becoming healthier. And as an added observation, some extremists like to ruin things for everyone. And they usually start this by accusing companies like McDonalds of killing and endangering children. When there has never been an actual case of Ronald McDonald threatening mothers to buy Crispy-Mc-This-and-that’s or he was going to blow their brains out. It is quite honestly people’s penchant to overindulge and Mc Flurry themselves to death. Yet again, NOT MY PROBLEM.
It is my problem when you those said extremists get to big corporations and they eradicate the problem so they no longer have to hear about it.
Little did I know about Disneyland’s new food menu.
I went to Disneyland and after a few rides I said “mmmm fried chicken sounds good.” So I scooted my way to the French Market, which serves fried chicken and taters as well as clam chowder in a loaf. Or so I thought.
I stared at the menu, and it glared back FRIED CHICKENLESS. The closest thing they had to offer was Citrus Glazed Chicken. Which although delicious sounding was not what I craved.
So I ran to the Riverboat Terrace to see if my nightmare was a reality. When I saw that they had only Turkey breast, and salad on their menu… my heart broke, for Disney had shunned my fried chicken.
Banished it even.
When I asked why? I was told to buy chicken nuggets… NUGGETS!! There shall be no $7.00 circular nuggets for me, thank you.
Now Fried Chicken only exists at the Plaza Inn (the loudest and most child infested restaurant in the Magical Kingdom), for $14.
Rain on my dreams and dash all my hope of golden delicious chicken. It’s not like I bathe in the chicken or force it on toddlers…. I just like it’s Americana like deliciousness.
And finally, shame on the hippies… I would never make anyone take tofu off the menu.

Does anyone ever wonder about Robert Smith from the Cure??? Besides me? I find that when my mind wanders it usually ends at Robert Smiths hair.
Is anyone else noticing this resurgence of tendrils much like that of Mr. Smiths? I saw a girl at the mall who could have been his hair twin on Sunday.
I wanted to run to her and ask her about hair maintenance but realized she probably never combed her hair.. thus it’s appearance.
I also think I’m so interested in these specific locks because I have always associated the Cure with ultimate coolness, and realize in an architectural office… maybe Robert’s hair would not be so awesome.
No one would be able to see past my monitor, and i think things would get stuck in it. So alas his mighty style shall never be mine
Also every morning when i wake my hair looks like this:
And since I’m not from New Jersey circa 1986… it’s just not my thing.
