High Society

Oh, get off your high horse. Some stereotypes exist for a reason. This is one of them.

Take Out and a Good Book?

A popular Japanese steak house chain has been advertising a “Twilight Tasting Menu” from 5-9pm on weekdays. While an interesting concept, considering the book series of a similar name that I recently finished, I just can’t stomach the thought of what might be included on this menu. I thought their food was not-so-great when I ate there about a year ago and now, well, I’ve gone from uninterested to revolted.

Mishmash

I got a great giggle out of this new-to-me site I intend to follow. It’s entertaining and extols the importance of knowing when it’s appropriate to use quotes – Unnecessary Quotes

And in the category of  “I Totally Know That Feeling” is a video shared by BubbleGal as a followup to The Rainbow Lady.

And in other news, I’ll be heading off to a decadent tropical vacation soon. My husband and I are happily celebrating our 10th anniversary. (Isn’t that pretty close to a decade?? Can’t be. I don’t think I’m old enough!)

Since I recognize the economy is tight and vacations may be scarce, I fully intend to post periodically allowing you to live vicariously through me.  Or at least that’s what I’ll call it.  “Bragging” would just be rude. (Do you like how I accurately used quotes in that last one?)

So without further ado, the countdown to liftoff is ON! (Are you as giddy as I am??)

More For Your Wandering Pleasure

It’s been a while since I’ve provided you with some true procrastination material. I don’t want to lose my reputation so here you go. (Listed in order of child-appropriateness starting with “not really” and ending with “it has a picture of a penis so just don’t go there with little Sally nearby.” You’ve been warned.) Enjoy!

If anyone thinks the decline of print media is unjustified, I recommend a scroll through some incredibly entertaining headlines.

Probably Bad News

Ever wanted to reply to that stupid online listing or that customer that desperately begs for a reality check without realizing it? Better yet, do you enjoy watching someone just mess with people? For some incredibly distasteful hilarity, check out “emails from an asshole” at:

And thanks to someone in the Netherlands, we can now add a new topic for therapy – ePenis envy. The internet is now complete.

What’s the size of your Twitter e-Penis?

(Mine’s 52.5cm and I think that’s perfectly respectable considering I know so few of my followers. Seriously, who are these people?!?)

Foul Play

This summer, The Kid is enrolled in the usual summer camps during the day. The typical entertain-the-kids-all-day-until-their-parents-get-off-work kind of camps. They play games, swim, run, do arts and crafts, and a couple of weeks she does martial arts (aka Butt-Kicking Camp).

Occasionally, we get “Incident Reports” detailing some minor, stupid injury like a bump on the head, cut finger, broken foot, or near-drowning. Yesterday, we received one because The Kid was hit in the shoulder by a basketball. Apparently, it hurt. There was whining (probably tears ), an ice pack, and some time sitting out from the game. My response would have been “Suck it up kid – there’s a game in progress and you’re delaying!”

In 2 weeks she has Basketball Camp. An entire week dedicated to playing basketball. Running drills. With basketballs flying at regulation height hoops. And a range of kids ages 7-15. (She picked it – not me!) Maybe I should just photocopy the incident report from yesterday and have the counselors use it that week. It’s going to be a long week.
