Opinions

I’ve been asked my opinion on several matters of late. Sadly, I have no opinions on anything that does not directly pertain to the meeting of the dread horrible deadline.

If you have opinions by all means share. Me, I have a grindstone to press my nose to.

    I hate commercials? They make me unnaturally angry. Especially the dancing ones.

    Here is a nice, ranty holiday opinion for you.

    What is it about the holidays that makes peoples so darn CRAZY! Okay, it is not going to be perfect. You cannot get a Wii, you are not going to have a Martha Stewart Christmas, and yule logs are insane in this climate unless you are having christmas on beach with a bonfire somewhere. Which is all well and good and lovely and a great deal of fun besides (I highly recommend it!) but even then, it is not going to be perfect; there will be sand in the food and the dog will literally go barking mad when he sees a crab and the tree is going to blow over again and again, but that is all okay! The holidays (no matter which one you do) are about family, purple santa claus cookies (or purple whatever cookie fits your holiday), losing someone’s pressie and finding it on New Year’s Day, burning the gravy and having fun. And if you are too busy making yourself and everyone around you freaking nuts with the hoopla, I would rather pass, thank you very much. Take your panicky christmas stress and blow it up someone else’s a- er patootie.

    Now then, put down the car keys, step away from the smoking credit cards, put the $$$ back in your piggy banks; take a deep breath and repeat after me. Holidays are for family, not swag and keeping up appearances. Holidays are for family…

    here endeth the rant…

    I am trying to send you some good, old fashioned, Anti-podean sunshine, but it keeps turning into rain somewhere over the Pacific. Which morphs into snow by the time it gets to you. I will keep tweaking the formula though.

    very welcome!

    i was going to send you some left handed cricket too, but well, I keep knee-capping batters when i bowl and that really is not a friendly sort of thing to do, you know? unless you want to play on my team. i have not knee-capped any of them yet. ;)
