Friday afternoon, and not a week too soon.
Too much shite is really pissing me off (most recently, Hamburger Helper commercials where momma not only must make dinner for her family but teach them table manners and morals as well, while daddy's job is just to high five them across the table when they act up. Um. Even in the 1950's-that-weren't, daddy at least was shown coming home after a long day at the job, not just being Another Kid. I do NOT like the social implication there, and neither should parents of either gender.)
On the more amusing side, some weekend reading for us all: http://jakonrath.blogspot.com/2008/09/artistic-anguish.html
money shot: Writers tend to do two things really well: whine and inflate their own importance.
Why yes, yes we do. /Anthony Bourdain voice
And now I'm going to take my well-worn copy of Busman's Honeymoon and shove the kittehs out of the comfy sun-warmed spot, and chill for a few hours. Call me when the world gets its shit together, willya?
