Wow, have I been delinquent recently. I leave town and forget to blog. There are several reasons for this. To begin with, I did in fact, leave town, and have been very busy running around the gulf coast of Florida. Also, I’ve been working really hard on my new proposal. And finally, I have this killer cold and I’ve been sleeping a lot in preparation for infecting all the people who are stuck on the flight with me back to DC. (Sorry in advance, but if it makes you feel better, I probably infected the people on the flight down, too, I just didn’t know it.)
A few things that have managed to bug the hell out of me recently:
That it takes half an hour to install scanner drivers on a desktop running MS. Plug and Play, baby, plug. and. play.
Rewriting the lyrics to my favorite non-religious Christmas carol to be all about religion, and not even doing a good rhyming and rhythmic job of it to boot (hint: “king” does not rhyme with “here”). And then playing the new, perverted version CONSTANTLY.
People who say things like “The Bay Area” and mean “The San Francisco Bay Area” when they are not anywhere near San Francisco. (Especially egregious when they *are in* the Tampa Bay Area.) This is similar to the people at Yale who would say “The City” as if there was only one. Where do you live? Ancient Rome? (May have made sense to you growing up on Long Island with your dad working on Wall Street, but the rest of us were just scratching our heads. )
That 98% of the wedding dresses on the market look like a series of indistinguishable, people sized inverted funnels. So far, I’ve determined that of the remaining two percent, half look like lingerie and the other half cost more than my car.
