You tell me, what is and what can be
You make my misogyny bleed, when you
Youre taking me by the teeth
You never tell me theres nothing doing wrong
But Im not doing wrong when I say
Im not taking you for granted anymore
The damage is done
Youve got a way of taking me down the solid ground thats beneath me
-Edison Arthur, The Damage is Done
Flagrant Edison Arthur promo: CLICK ME!
So, rather than make this my on-going visit to the parents journal, I will just give the highlights my family, for some unknown reason, has decided that we must go OUT to dinner for Thanksgiving this year. This isnt half as weird as the fact that my mother decided to have a full-throttle turkey dinner TODAY. I went, and while there was no aforementioned SQUASH on the table, there were cooked carrots, which I also despise. And of course, my sister made a big production about scooping some onto her plate while pointing out none-too-subtly that I did NOT take carrots. This then led to a speech by my mother, the nurse and official watchdog of all that is nutritious on this planet, telling me that I dont eat enough vegetables and that I need more beta-carotene in my diet, yadda yadda, as if she has a secret camera in my pantry at all times. Then she handed me some coupons for Quiznos and commented that I only eat high-fat, crappy take-out food all week, which is, incidentally, untrue, but in my relatives world, I will always be the food heathen in the church of Mr. Goodbody. I expect a musical rendition of Scurvy Girl Meets the Cavity Creeps on Thursday. Yay for me!
Newest annoyance: that damn American Express commercial where the guy tries to buy a big diamond for his girlfriend and his VISA is declined. The service rep for Amex comes onto the screen and shames him, saying He got an American Express card, and it never happened again! Okay, how about, He got an American Express card, and his gold-digging bitch girlfriend drove him into miserable debt by demanding he spend way more than he could ever pay back. Now hes filing for bankruptcy and shes dating a new guy who were in the process of convincing to apply for an American Express Gold Card! What the FUCK kind of wife would this woman be to demand an expensive engagement ring from her fiance if he cant afford it? And what the hell are they thinking, getting married, when his existing credit cards are already maxed out? I think American Express needs marriage counseling, and pronto. ****He got that ambition baby: look at his eyes! This week hes mopping floors, next week its the fries! You stay right girl, and when he get on, hell leave your ass for a white girl!****
I am temporarily over my mourning for Origins destruction of their Everything Nice aka I-smell-like-pumpkin-pie line. And thats because, behold!
A girl cant be too sad when she smells like Cinnamon Buns, at least when she is naked.
My students have informed me that there will be a new Zelda game coming out on GameCube this spring, which is both exciting and frightening, because that means I will have to take off a good two weeks of work and go without food or sleep until I beat it. For those of you who are gamers (closeted or no), I am starting to envision myself as the protagonist in a strategy game, my life bar slowing sliding sideways to empty. Im not dying; Im just losing the battle of keeping my heart at bay.
