Pat Buchanan Makes My Head Hurt

And other various and sundry people on tv late at night. Why do people still care what he has to say?

Worse - Rush Limbaugh. He's a pimple on our society. A big, festering pimple. Hate and nastiness. Why do people listen?

Also, I am a Real American, apparently, so I get to have an opinion, and it is thus:

I would like people to be able to have health insurance and go to college, and marry the people they love.

I would like people to be nice to each other.

I would like people to tell the truth.

I love America, too. (this offends me)

I don't want anyone in charge of this country who puts women's health in air quotes. (this offends and shocks me, and that is increasingly hard to do)

I cannot wait for this election to be over.

Dear Lindsay

Your new house looks fantastic

Your floors are causing me painful envy

I want to visit you ASAP (red means it's urgent)

Please note: Your preferred spouse-finding method is coming up zilch, zip, zero, nada for me. I tried, really I did. But now I'm done. I will marry my work and become an old maid with cats. You will have to make me godmother to your children, and I will come and stay in the scary Bo-peep room with presents and bake goodies for them.

Love,

E

They make my couch quite cute and, dare I say, HIP?

Lessons I Have Learned Since Becoming 25.

• Being slightly (but I hope justifiably) selfish with your social life can make it much more fun.
• Sometimes (but only sometimes) it's okay to be a diva (but only a little bit).
• Being 25 can lead one to use the phrase "Let's be real." many more times than is absolutely necessary. Possibly it was just a Tuesday anomaly, though.
• Cupcakes can make an all-right day an ALL-right day.
• I think perhaps my age has caught up with how old I have wanted to be since I was 12. This is frightening.
  
• Life would be funny if we were all doing the things we thought we'd be doing at this age when we were 12.

And then I'm OLD.

Oh shattered illusions.

Now I know how my parents feel when their favorite songs are in Mercedes' commercials.

I was watching TV and there was a Raisin Bran Crunch commercial with my faaaavorite John Denver song in it (can't find the actual commercial, but here's the song).



So here I am being horribly saddened that my favorite ueber-nerd adorable folk singer is being used to promote sugary chunks of granola, and I discover this:



Le sigh. Next thing, someone's going to tell me unicorns aren't real.
