Complaint Department

Thisbe would normally put this post in letter form, but is feeling lazy. So, in no particular order, here are some things that are driving Thisbe NUTS.

1. Traffic on the 2 lane road we must travel to take the WK to her Kindermusik class. WHY? You're repairing a road, not constructing the Taj Mahal, FIGURE OUT HOW TO PROPERLY DIVERT TRAFFIC YOU IDIOTS. GAH.

2. Hey Richard? From Top Chef? If you "smoke" one more thing I am officially going to be forced to root against you on principle. Quit it with your stupid smoking crap. Cook something. To be cliche: It is not "Top Smoker". Argh.

3. Not so much a complaint, but notable: Martha Stewart's entry on her blog today: Donkey Cleaning 101. Not sure how this is relevant to the average reader.

4. WK: I love you more than I love anyone in this world, but if you do not stop crying in the car every time you drop something (roughly every 30 seconds), there is a serious chance that Thisbe will drop you off at PBB's office and drive, Thelma & Louise-like, onward to Mexico.

5. All the people who fail to return my emails. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. [Note that Thisbe is a complete hypocrite here, as she often fails to return email].

6. Retail merchants: Thisbe has finally lost enough weight to try on pants. Why must you manufacture pants in styles only for women who have no a$$es and no hips? Why must there be a 4 inch gap between my back and the back of the pants? WOMEN HAVE CURVES. MAKE US SOME FREAKING PANTS ALREADY.

7. Television: The strike is over. BRING BACK MY SHOWS. RIGHT. FREAKING. NOW.

8. Universe: enough with the low-level annoyance. I'm done. Please just give me a few days off. And for the record, this does not mean that I am looking for serious-level annoyance. I'd like just a few days of quiet.

OK. Enough with the grousing. Happier posts to resume shortly.

Today's Project: Perhaps socks. Perhaps a shawl. Perhaps wristies.

Today's Life Observation: Sesame Street: semi-irritating children's show, or fount of all knowledge?
