Arrgh, Urrgh, and Hmmph! Every time I’m on the phone with one of my parents, without fail, they get a call waiting beep; which they always take. That is, they take the beep if they don’t flat out cut our conversation first. Just now, I called them and it rang busy, thus signaling that they were either calling out or receiving a call at that very moment. I waited a few minutes to call them back, and whaddya know? They aren’t answering my beep.
I really do not want to hear any more about “Oh, you’re such a hermit,” or “Why don’t you ever want to do anything outside your home.” THIS is why, y’all. 
and 
Arrgh. I can’t even bother to talk TV or fandom.

The headline on MSNBC.com right now is “Search for Victims, Answers”. Answers? What are the questions? The bridge collapsed. There’s your answer. The media is always looking to make more out of something than needs to be, and I’m sick of it.
It reminds me of an interview The Today Show did with someone shortly after Hurricane Rita. They asked the man, “Can you tell us what happened?” My brother and I were listening to the broadcast on the radio on the way to work and we both burst out laughing. We simultaneously said, and you could almost hear the man thinking, “Goddamn hurricane hit, that’s what happened, you dumbass!” Yet the interviewer just had to reach for some drama. Yeah, right.
Here’s a novel approach to responsible journalism: Report the facts and stop trying to make everyone in this country a victim. Thanks.
Here it is, the latest in random rants:
Nelly Furtado, please die and take your awful music with you.
Cell Phone Marketers, stop showing young 20-somthings jamming out to their phones, and while you’re at it, stop trying to get people to use phones as frickin’ radios in the first place.
USPS, stop delivering pieces of mail (and now packages) that aren’t mine!
Star Wars fangirls, please for the love of all that is holy, STOP with the Obidala. It never happened, it’s never going to happen, and you can’t even properly magine what it would have been.
More to come…
