Fluffernutter

So, I'm about to spew an entire post of random crap just because I have a lot on my brain and I need to keep myself occupied so that I don't dwell on certain worries.

Ever notice that when it snows or ices or [insert bad frosty weather here], there are always lots of accidents. Ever notice that the majority of the vehicles involved in said accidents fall into two categories: sports cars and big-ass 4WD SUVs or Trucks. And who drives these vehicles? That's right, douchebags.


I'm not saying that all SUV, Truck, or sports car drivers are douchebags. I'm saying the ones that drive their SUV, truck, or sports car as if the road is not a big slush fest or ice rink and therefore end up in the ditch are douchebags. That's ok though, because this is just another one of those things that reinforces one of my favorite universal truths: karma.

Do I believe that karma is a real cosmic supernatural force? No, not really, but I do believe that people eventually get what's coming to them.

[Break for Grib Gripe: Our liasion is on his way out the door. This is made clear by him saying, "See you guys tomorrow." Grib, in her infinite social wisdom gets up and starts talking to him, following him as he's trying to get out the door. Because obviously, "see you guys tomorrow" is code for "please come talk to me so I can stay at work longer." *sigh* One of these days, I'm going to eat 15 Pixy Stix and then she's finally going to get a taste of her own medicine.]

Karma is cool, both when it works in positive and negative ways. When some idiot has this grand sense of entitlement gets his ass handed to him, for instance, some d-bag who drives a brand new BMW cuts me off because he's rich and doesn't have to obey the laws of the land gets pulled over...it just gives me such a feeling of satisfaction. On the other hand, when a good friend has been through a lot of crap and has had a really hard time for a while finally finds happiness in something, that's freakin awesome too.

In TV news:

Chuck

Chuck pissed me off this week. Not gonna lie. This episode was my least favorite of all 3 seasons. That being said, it was still good. I didn't like it for two reasons: 1) Chuck and Sarah are not together. They should be. It was written in the Dead Sea Scrolls that Chuck and Sarah are to be together. In this episode, they both sorta kinda start relationships with other people. Unacceptable. The gods are not happy with this. 2) Not only are they with other people, but it happened way too fast. Within the frame of one episode that spanned over about 2 days, the two girls involved in the love trapezoid did a complete 180, actually one of them made a 360 as she wanted Chuck, then was weirded out by Chuck and totally not into him, then was into him again. I realize that this was mostly because they originally had to cram a full season of story into just 13 episodes. I'm obviously not giving up on the show, but this still had me pretty miffed.

Lost

If you don't watch Lost, don't bother starting now. I don't say that because the show isn't worth watching. I'm saying that because if you are going to watch, you have to catch up on 5 seasons. You can't just jump into this show. Last night's episode was pretty meh. Usually Lost provokes the avid viewer to scream at the television things such as: "What the hell?" "Who the hell is that?" "Isn't he supposed to be dead?" "When are they now?" or "OMG! John Locke is the Smoke Monster!" Last night's didn't really provoke any screaming at all. But I'm sure it'll improve.

American Idol

I have only ever watched 2 full seasons of American Idol. I decided to watch last night's Idol because I was home so I could and I wanted to see what kind of dynamic Ellen Degeneres would add. I was surprised with her. I thought she would strictly be there to add comic relief and/or take Paula's place as the sugar-coater, unwilling to tell people how much they suck. She wasn't. She had her share of one-liners, but she wasn't afraid to tell someone that they bored her. Another pleasant surprise from watching Idol came in the form of Andrew Garcia. This guy's going far in the competition without a doubt. He can SING, and he's a good musician with his own style. His rendition of Straight Up was kick ass.



There was also the single mom with the blonde dreadlocks at the end who did "Natural Woman." She's going far as well. I like her style and I can't remember her name for the life of me. So I might actually start DVRing the show. Watching it is out of the question as my clusterfoo of a schedule does not allow primetime television viewing or a social life.

Real Life:

The reason why my brain is working 117 mph? We went to look at a condo today to rent. We like it. A LOT! It's gonna cost considerably more than what we're currently paying, but we can still afford it. The problem? It's through Zimmerman Realty. I know I bashed them a few posts ago, but they've kinda redeemed themselves since then. But the real problem is that we still have to wait to make sure we get the place. I don't like this. Waiting is a tool of the devil. In my opinion at least. So if y'all could please pray that we get this place, that would be super. We really hate our current dwelling. The kitchen is crap. But the new place has a kitchen that was made by angels. It would be nice to not feel like I want to shoot something whenever I walk into the kitchen to attempt to cook something. I'll keep y'all updated on what happens with that.

Peace out!
