October 28, 2028

bethneu:

My student loan company notified me that this will be my last scheduled payment. Golly Gee, thanks for the 20 year heads up!

I will be partying like a rockstar on October 28, 2028.

Alice came to the fork in the road.
“Which road do I take?” she asked.
“Where do you want to go?” responded the Cheshire cat.
“I don’t know,” Alice answered.
“Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.

“It’s the same old same old. You’re losing contact at the big heights. What are you gonna do? I told 10 people. I didn’t want to be caught in the meat grinder between 65 and 80. You had to though. You weren’t on. The warmup didn’t go well. You got 55… caught up in that meat grinder. What are ya gonna do? You didn’t have the legs. Her legs are fresh. Hey, it’s a silver medal.”
Hey, asshole coach. You really should look your athlete in the eye when you berate her for “only” winning the silver medal. She’s been pole vaulting for just 4 years and is second only to a seasoned veteran from Russia who had to break the world record to win gold. Jenn Stuczynski, you should fire your coach ASAP.

Beth & I saw this asshole last night and couldn’t believe what we were hearing and seeing either. Unfortunately the best word I had to describe his actions was “typical”.

[…W]hen McCain says he believes life begins at conception (cheer!) it’s pretty meaningless unless he’s asked to explain how that would be translated into policy. Are blastocysts entitled to child support? Do all late periods need to be reported to the Ministry of Health? And, of course, my favorite: Are those who implant multiple embryos during IVF treatments, knowing full well that most will die, guilty of negligent manslaughter? Eschaton

I downloaded the Walker, Texas Ranger theme song last weekend. Wouldn’t it make a badass ringtone?

Nastya

Lets talk about how hot the name “Nastia” is.

Hello Hello I often greet people with two “Hellos” instead of one.

TXTS

I keep sending text messages to Tumblr & Facebook instead of Beth. I need to stop doing that.

Wilson County Fair Points

  • It was bigger in some ways (midway, food, random attractions) than Effingham County but lacked in others (large evening show, animals only kept a day or two as they show instead of all week long, horse racing).
  • It was God & Country day. We could have saved on admission if we brought a church bulletin from this weekend. We saw one woman doing a “rap” about her church, another group praying from a small stage, and many other religious instances.
  • Dixie Thongs.
  • I got a corn dog and the first time in my life my condiment was applied before I got it. I didn’t have to worry about applying the ketchup myself or it falling off. This guy brushed it on like Rembrandt. Why haven’t I seen this before? I blame everyone buying their corn dogs from the same stands in Effy Co. which makes it impossible for stands to provide this awesome service while keeping up.
  • I love poultry. They’re so animated.
  • I missed taking photos. 
  • We registered to vote down here at the Democratic Party booth. They all laughed at my shirt.
  • Our milkshakes were overpriced and way too milky. Boo!
