Two pet peeves

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 13:58:02 -0600

1. People who don’t understand that “voila” is a French word spelled “voila” and instead spell it “wah la.”

2. Folks with bad colds who complain about having the flu. Are you unable to get out of bed? Have you not been running a high fever for days? DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE SOMETHING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE DIED OF OVER THE COURSE OF HISTORY? No? In that case, you do not have influenza. You have a cold.

2 (a). The “stomach flu” does not exist. It is a misnomer. The viruses that cause influenza do not affect the stomach.

Thank you for your attention to these matters.

“I’d never heard a politician talk so bluntly, calling U.S. immigration policy ‘scapegoating’ and ‘demagoguery.’ I’d never had even a history teacher argue that our nation’s history is a series of brave people changing others’ minds when things were on the verge of collapse. I want the man to hope all over me.”

“I am one of the thousands of jackasses who shelled out more than $300.00 on an Airport Extreme + a USB hard drive (ie, what Apple calls an “AirDisk”), expecting that it would work with Time Machine. Joke’s on us, I suppose.”

“Sure, I know it’s long past time for a female president, but my hubris has been in believing that Clinton is not the one I have to devote myself to — my careless presumption being that there will be loads more satisfactory models to choose from in the near future.”

“If Obama wins in November, a political miracle will have happened: We will have gone from following an authoritarian fool into an insane war to electing a progressive black president, without missing a beat. Can it happen? Who knows? But if America can go down that far into the dark side, perhaps we can emerge just as quickly into the light. And after eight years without it, I don’t want to be the one to bet against hope.”

I went ahead and bought those Nichole Van actions I mentioned previously with some Christmas money courtesy of my pops. Here’s an example of her Indoor Color Pop action that I used on a photo of a friend’s daughter. I obviously still need to practice and figure out what I’m doing, but it’s fun effect for a photo here and there.

Just made almost $50 by checking all of my amazon.com orders placed in the last month and calling them up (1-866-216-1072) and having them adjust the prices of everything that’s now less expensive.
