...after the holidays; it's either one damn thing or the other around here.
The damn thing is dirt-nanny work I'm doing for a friend of mine. He needs the help, but it sucks ass like all dirt nanny work. So I figure I earned my week off.
The not-damned thing is that we got some snow yesterday; not enough to be a real nuisance but enough to be pretty, so I just enjoyed the winter wonderland and put out seed for the wild things who weren't enjoying it nearly as much.
I've been enjoying all the soccer (and, yes, I know; Qatar is a hissing, and FIFA exists to make the IOC look like a bunch of saintly contemplatives. I'm not pretending to be a good person about this...) but I'm going to miss the insane energy of the Japan fans.
Apparently the soccer world will, too; they've won some sort of weird fame for policing up the stands after their games.
So will the otter. Ah, well; live and learn, Taiyo the Otter. Soccer. It's a cruel game.
Speaking of cruel, the Girl just laid down the law: no more singing "Hong Kong Phooey" because it's racist.
Yeah, well, no shit; it was a Seventies cartoon about a dog, voiced by a Black guy, pretending to be a Hong Kong kung-fu star.
And let's not eeeeven go into "Rosemary", the horny switchboard/9-1-1 operator who spent the entire show constantly trying to hook up with the randos that called the cops.
The layers of "this is some fucked-up-racial-and-sexist shit" go about basement deep.
But it's Seventies phooey racist style! Sorry, kiddo...Yah!
Anyway. I'll get right back on this blogging thing later this week; I've got a break coming up.
