I often wonder if it annoys other people the way it annoys me, but it simply has gotten out of control. I'm talking about how ever since the art of cgi or computer animation has entered the world of commercial advertising, everytime you watch an ad on TV you see all kinds of inanimate objects come to life.

I used to enjoy Oprah. Back when she was real and imperfect and fat. She's become the biggest flake out there now. It's disturbing to me the way she creates these mini cults and uses her show to promote the newest quack out there trying to sell a book or an all purpose answer to all of life's questions.

I miss my girls. They'll be going back to school soon. I can't believe summer is almost over. How utterly depressing. I don't know if I can survive another winter. UGH. Eh, I say that every year.

I hate it when I find out someting about someone that I've known for years that really scares me and makes me look at them completely different. For instance, this friend of my mother's who I've known my whole life and who I thought was the nicest, sweetest lady... until one day I overhear her talking to my mom about how she doesn't like her ( Read more... )
