Willowmist's Wanderings

I love turning the volume of my television up and down with the commercials all night long.  I love really loud, obnoxious commercials!

I love going from shorts to sweaters overnight.  Yay Philly weather!  It’s too hot or it’s too cold.  It’s a drought or it’s a flood.  Who needs moderation?  Not me!

I love being called at 8pm on a weeknight by someone asking me for money. 

I love paying $4 for an assignment book and $5 for the home and school association and $6 for a listing in and a copy of some school contact book after spending about fifty bucks on a list of school supplies that includes a box of kleenex and a container of hand sanitizer as a mandatory donation to the teacher. Oooo…and if I could also get a list of musical instruments for which the school is going to offer lessons, but is not going to offer actual rentals of for the school year..that would be awesome!  Pretty please?

I love all the ignorance about universal healthcare going around right now.  My favourite story so far is that Obama is going to encourage ‘end-of-life counselling’ for everyone over the age of 60 requiring any major sort of medical care.  First of all, I love how people instantly believe and start passing along the most outrageously ridiculous information if it can distort the public conversation even a little bit.  What is end-of-life counselling?  I think it sounds great!

..and yes, I know the date.  I love holding annual memorial ceremonies long past any sort of meaningful remembrance!  We should start holding an annual memorial ceremony for the tragic burning of the White House back in 1812.  Everytime I think of those horrible soldiers eating the meal that Dolly Madison had to abandon in order for her to save the big painting of Washington from looters…my blood just boils.

Happy September 11 everyone.

Oh!  I almost forgot..and that’s because it was daytime and I couldn’t hear it, but I really love construction on 611.  Yeehaw!  The beep, beep, beep of big machines in reverse and bright lights so loud men with foul mouths can work at night.  You know you are all just green with envy right now!
