Whenever you look at me like that, it's a JOKE!
I can't tell if I'm merely cranky, horribly depressed or just plain dysfunctional for the past 2-3 days. But I hate it. I'm shirking at least half of my normal responsibilities and I want to take all LJ communities off my flist because every single post sounds irretrievably, incredibly, bone-chillingly stupid. Today, I have no desire to work on Hazel's story, even though I'm supposed to be done with this draft in 21 days. I don't feel capable of doing anything at all...maybe there is a dementor lodged in my air conditioning. That would certainly explain it.
EDIT: I figured it out, it's because I cut my sugar intake by less than half. So this will go away soon, yes?
Stephen Colbert put Jon Stewart On Notice tonight.
And all the liberals gasped, and then laughed.
I do find it comically ironic that Geraldo Rivera is lecturing anyone on hard news and journalistic integrity.
We are all upset about that business in merry old England today. But you see, I am an American and I only see other countries in terms of what they give me that I can't get elsewhere. So to all of Britain or the UK or whatever the hell you people call yourselves (that's right, I said "you people" you wanna fight about it?) ;-], hear this now. Get JK Rowling out of the country and keep her safe until she finishes Book Seven!! And you know, keep foiling terrorists before they strike. It's just one of the many, many, many ways in which you embarrass the US with your competance.
You know how everyone thought Avenue Q was like Sesame Streets/Muppets but for adults? Apparently the son of the real Jim Henson has a thing or two to say about that. It seems the Muppets are working blue in their new broadway show. I know I was just saying that remakes and sequels don't diminish the original and that everyone should just calm down. I imagine this story found it's way to my desk just to test my committment to that theory. Grrrr. Stupid poetic justice!
But I think there comes a time in everyone's life when their childhood illusions are suddenly and traumatically shattered. Sure, there's the Santa/Easter Bunny/Toothfairy is actually your parents stuff. But there's also those once in a lifetime things that don't happen to the next generation the same as they happened to you. Things like Pee Wee Herman's arrest, or the Challenger Disaster come to mind as things that made me realize that the world is completely fucked and no matter how good you are, it's no guarantee of success. I can recall having a huge crush on Freddie Prinze because of Chico and the Man (The Man being Jack Albertson of Willy Wonka fame) and that he died from shooting himself in the head with blanks or something. When you're a tiny kid, that can hit you hard. Famous people can die badly? It was a mindfucker as I recall.
Reagan getting shot was also very disturbing, not just because a crazy guy imitated a movie and almost killed our president. But people around me where not sad that he was shot, and I didn't understand that at all. I think I still thought I knew people from TV, like they were friends of mine and would recognize me if I met them on the street. Of course, I was a weird kid.

I think I figured out my crankiness though. H just reminded me that I just cut my sugar intake by less than half.

Cold Turkey on the Sugar, eh? Ouch.

Weird's got nothin' to do with it...
BTW I used to talk to people on TV when I was a kid and get mad when they ignored me. I just figured if I could hear them, then could hear me. Thanks for giving me a new word to add to my list of words that break the "i before e" rule: weird, forgein, their...
Re: Weird's got nothin' to do with it...
And yeah, this sugar thing is a drag. And I can't tell if it's like caffeinne, where if I have a little I'll feel better or if that will just queer my deal.
