EDIT: Oh, and by the way? Today is supposed to be the hottest day of the summer. If I leave my cats in that apartment, it's tantamount to animal abuse.

Remember this? No, this isn't a "looking back over the past year" post.

This is a goddamnedmotherfuckingpissed post.

This is a "You'll be lucky if I give you a week you fucking arselord" post.

This is a "I'm going to kill someone with my bare hands" post.

This is a "My fucking used air conditioning unit added to my heat pump last year died yesterday." post.

I can't find one icon that says it for me. So I am using six.

Well at least I have my Siamese cat now.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE Harry Shearers blog on The Huffington Post.
He's provided a very interesting link
regarding New Orleans and the constant,
continued failure of the US Corps of Engineers.
I can't say it any better, and I can't say
any more, because my jaws are locked
shut from grinding my teeth in anger
regarding this neglect.

You may want to click on the picture to get the full effect of the distance between Institute (yes, that's a town)
and the road to my house in Charleston.

The Bayer Plant in Institute, WV had a severe explosion last night at about 10:30.

My uncle retired from this plant. I can't remember this plant ever having such a severe incident.

There are photos here.

The plant is "about 12 miles west of downtown Charleston" I felt the blast, and it shook
my apartment building. One man has died (I didn't know him) and one man was
injured so severely they airlifted him to a burn center out of state.

It's a sobering event that has been obscured by the conventions, vice president nominations
"Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the so-called "hockey mom" credited with reforms
of her tiny, out-of-the-way state. (Alaska? TINY? PLEASE!!) Hilary Duff's dad,
andby David Duchovny's sex addiction.

Well, we are West Virginia. Sometimes we just don't qualify for headlines,
unless Chad Pennington leaves the Jets (J-E-T-S, JETS JETS JETS!)
for the Miami Dolphins.

The temperature was 74 degrees when I went out for lunch. I hate spring in January. It confuses the forsythia. I think I made this same complaint last winter. Or the winter before. West Virginia is BAD about teasing its forsythia into bud before slamming with the big freeze.

I have a hickey on my right thigh. What I have on my inner LEFT thigh can not be called a hickey. Not even a bite mark suffices. I think the word is "hematoma". The size of a goose egg, and the color of blueberry juice. NOT pretty. Ahh, the price I pay for having creamy thighs.

I am in ~~denial~~ De Nile. I am doing the backstroke, because my boobs are bouyant. Care to join me?

I read in the snopes LJ feed that a man is warning America about impending attacks, sometimes with some accuracy. I found it intriguing, then disheartening when I learned that our government may be planning an attack on Iran and Syria. I know there are likely terrorist cells in these countries, but I have many Syrian friends. Yes, I care more when I know someone from the country in question. I can't help that. It disturbs me to think that our country might attack YET another country. I'm so sick of this. Mr Aviv says we approached the situation in the wrong manner, and I tend to agree with his thinking.

To continue with my liberal train of thought, here's a poem from the most recently named United States Poet Laureate, Charles Simic:

Eyes Fastened With Pins
by Charles Simic

How much death works,
No one knows what a long
Day he puts in. The little
Wife always alone
Ironing death's laundry.
The beautiful daughters
Setting death's supper table.
The neighbors playing
Pinochle in the backyard
Or just sitting on the steps
Drinking beer. Death,
Meanwhile, in a strange
Part of town looking for
Someone with a bad cough,
But the address somehow wrong,
Even death can't figure it out
Among all the locked doors...
And the rain beginning to fall.
Long windy night ahead.
Death with not even a newspaper
To cover his head, not even
A dime to call the one pining away,
Undressing slowly, sleepily,
And stretching naked
On death's side of the bed.

I like his imagery. How is this liberal? Well my dad says the Pulitzer Prize is a piece of crap awarded to liberal media like the New York Times for stories slamming our government. Mr. Simic is a Pulitzer Prize winner for his poetry. Since I find myself envying Jhumpa Lahiri her Prize for her short stories, it stands to reason I'd aspire to such. Thus, liberal, no?

Schlotzsky's Deli - Funny Name, Serious Sandwich. Even more serious Thai Chicken Pizza, with shredded carrots and onions and peanut sauce. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Southern Kitchen. A staple for those who party at bars into the wee hours, open and serving breakfast all night. The marquee sign says "Serving o_d food for 47 years" Old food? Odd food? Yeah, I know, Good food, and it really is. If you like southern cooking. Which I do.

Hooters uses Heiners buns. How quaint.

There are at least three nice restaurants or fast food joints within walking distance from Brent's new apartment.

Woman in SUV with clever Mickey Mouse tow ball cover. I pull up next to her at the light, and get out of my car. I knock on the window, noticing she's a lovely slim brunette with scrubs on. She buzzes the window down and I say "Scuse me, but you should get your blinkers repaired, as neither the front nor the back lights are working. I'm certain that you, being a medical professional, are aware of how dangerous it is to drive an illegal vehicle. I'm also assuming that you, as a medical professional, are far too intelligent to turn corners and merge in traffic WITHOUT USING YOUR BLINKERS. Aren'tchoo?" *insert smirk here, and subtle finger gesture* "Have a good day."

Okay, no, not really. But dammit one a these days, Alice!!!! BAM! Right in the kisser!

And upon my entering the lane approaching the office, idiot number two decides to pull out from behind stopped car waiting to turn and join me in said lane, pulling out quickly enough that he could have struck me if I hadn't sped up. Sans blinker of course, because he goes to the same driving school as bimbette up there, whose trip to the post office was SO urgent she couldn't be bothered to turn on her blinker while riffling through her purse at the stop light. Thank you.

Current Mood: sarcastic, much?
