Shut up, Instagram, Nobody Asked You

Seriously, it's really annoying.

We are having a second reception for JKR's side of friends and family in July. Gifts continue to arrive and I don't want to sound like an ungrateful beeotch, but someone sent us crystal Tiffany candlesticks anonymously. What will I do with those other than play Live Action Roleplay Clue? It was Justice Catsburg in the litterbox with the candlesticks or Colonel Fattypants in the study with the. . .other candlestick. . .


If I drop everything and escape to Mexico to join a drug cartel - rest assured that my goodbye note will mention wedding registries.

The main focus of my daily life has been to finish a second novel. My pop-up educational pamphlet on why you shouldn't use public toilet seats isn't going to write itself. However, the slightest distraction can throw off a day's self-motivated work. What's that noise outside? Oh, did I just receive a text message? Are these lightbulbs dimmer than they were yesterday? I'd better turn them on and off for a while just to make sure. Online newspapers are incredibly distracting. Oh Lordy, how did Obama screw up his campaign today? Geez, our President had better hope that Mitt Romney chooses a really crappy running mate like that a-hole Donald Trump. Is Sarah Palin's 15 minutes over? How about her daughter with the baby? She could be a running mate, or that guy who made the awesome Youtube video of himself riding around on an ATV with an American flag strapped to the back while he fired a gun and shouted for joy at the death of Osama Bin Laden. I'd like to know what he has to say. The Romney Campaign should call me - I have ideas.

However, it does suck that our governing process is now going to be hijacked for election wind-bagging and while typically nothing gets done on the regular, even less will get done now. I'm so excited to read 300 more stories in the paper about how there is gridlock between the Capulets and the Montagues and it is leading to problems with the budget. It doesn't at all sound petty and childish and it sounds completely like not caving to the other side is always in the voters' best interests.

I learned first-hand recently what voters really want: taco shells made of Doritos. Whichever campaign learns to harness that particular national resource is sure to win the election or the dance competition or whatever it is they are really after anymore.

Oh yeah - quick question - does anyone think Roger Clemens was lying?
