Random thoughts

It's Friday afternoon and my brain just switched off. I was concepting my little heart out and then BAM! gone. Eees okay, though -- I think I have some good stuff. And, really, big thinking can only go on for so long. Gets painful.

So this weekend? I got nothing. Wait, change that: going out Saturday with the gang. (Not that kind. I would like some secret signals or gang colors, but we're just all too pacifist to be truly gang-like. Dang. Is prodigious drinking enough? We're REALLY good at that.)

I got a volunteering notice from the Red Cross today, but of course it was for, um, today. People? NOTICE. I will volunteer, though. Do you hear me, Red Cross??? Don't make me show up (again) uninvited.

Did you hear, by the way, that Michael Brown of FEMA has been ordered back to Washington? HA HA HA HA HA FUCKING HA. Now, let's get rid of Secretary Jerkoff of Homeland Insecurity so I can call it a really good day. Dubya for a super fabulous great magnificent day.

Had some good news today. My aunt got a job. A good job! Yay for Lin Lin! (And yes, her name is really Linda, and, yes, I still call her Lin Lin. Bite me.) That leaves only my mom, my future SIL, and my other aunt (Chee Chee I call her, so if you had a problem with Lin Lin you can really laugh it up) unemployed, so things are looking up for the fam. More up, at least. While Lin Lin won't be able to fix my parents' roof, she will buy my grandmother a new car. Nanny's car has been toast for a while and hasn't had the money to fix it. And when Nanny can't go to the graveyard/grocery store/bank when she wants to she gets pissy, and I can promise you that no one wants that --> I mean, I inherited my moodiness honestly. AND my dad's truck is kaput too, so at least now they'll have one car between them.

By the way, I can't stop listening to the Bravery. Jim, darlin', why didn't you tell me I loved them when y'all saw 'em this summer? I swear.
