Randomness
I actually had one of the crappiest days ever.
EVER.
I don't want to talk about it.
Therefore, I will talk about random weird shit that pops into my head.
The kids have been watching Kung Fu Panda a lot. I'd seen it twice in the theater before we bought it, so I'm pretty familiar with it. However, between the time I saw the movie on hhe big screen and the time we got the DVD, I've been having marathon sessions of re-watching Deadwood. So now every time Tai Lung says anything, I keep expecting him to call someone a hoople-head. Or a motherfucker. Or at least a cocksucker.
Orion got in trouble for writing his name on the back of the bus seat. They were actually threatening to toss him off the bus for good. Okay, kids shouldn't tag other people's property. But come ON, didn't you write or draw on bus seats? Didn't EVERYBODY? I would say the appropriate punishment would be for the kid to clean off the seat. It's not like he beat the crap out of somebody in the middle of the bus or something. Luckly, the bus driver agreed, and accepted his apology.
I seem to be doing my best to turn Orion into a juvenile delinquent. Last year he had a big problem wtih a bully, who hit him every chance he got. O came to me and asked me if he could hit the kid back. I replied ABSO-FUCKIN-LUTELY. Okay I didn't exactly say that. But I told him yes, if someone is attacking you, by all means defend yourself. Never hit first, but don't be a punching bag. So he decked the little bastard, and they both got suspended. Even though the other kid started it. WHATever. I refuse to raise a victim. And O hasn't hit anyone at all since last year, because basically, he's just not like that. Unless you're his brother.
So mad about prop 8 I can't even talk about it without blood pressure rising to dangerous levels.
I got a beautiful pitcher plant at Trader Joe's. It's HUGE. I've named it Rappaccini. It's in the CP terrarium, right next to Levi the nepenthes, Seymour the venus fly trap, and Sticky the sundew.
I will probably move any surviving CPs (carnivorous plants) from my bog in the backyard to an artificial bog on the deck. Currently looking for something larger than a half-barrel to put them in, but not too huge. Still hoping for an antique bathtub. No plant life is safe in the backyard with my mutant alien tree-eating dogs from hell.
Kickass movies I've seen--horror:
The Signal
Satan's Little Helper
Grey Knight
Kickass movies I've seen--not horror:
The Corndog Man (best flick I've seen in months)
Silly movie:
Doomsday
(okay, I admit, I thought it was pretty entertaining.)
Suckass movie:
The Happening
(don't get me started)
Awesomest sound ever:
Kids laughing helplessly. (Currently because they're watching the goofy magician-and-bunny short that showed with Wall-E in theaters.)
Shutting up now.
EVER.
