Random Thoughts & Questions

How much lower do you think Bush will fall in the polls? He's now at 29%- a new low.

Why hasn't some fast food joint come out with a sugar-free milkshake? Is it too much to ask?

My friend Elaine came by last night with her dog Diego. My 15-month-old kitten Nick spotted him and actually puffed up to three times his normal size.

The County Tax Assessor raised the value of my house by more than $12,000. I plan to protest in person with a photo array showing just how much they overestimated it. This is one time when Photoshop is worth lots more than just a way to make BushCo look even more evil and stupid.

You know it's time to go to bed when you try to comment on someone's blog and it takes three tries to type in the correct secret code.

I watched American Idol the other night for the first time in years. It's truly a horrible show. I think Paula Abdul has rapid cycling bipolar disorder, and those other two judges are a couple of tools.

My cousin John in Los Angeles called last year, begging me to find seeds for him to plant a chili pequin bush. The chilis are very hot and about the size of a raisin. I bought a few plants, hoping to harvest the chilis, dry them and send him the seeds. Trouble is, I used 20-20-20 plant food on them and the chilis turned out to be the size of smallish jalapenos. I wonder if the seeds will turn out freakishly large chilis when he plants them?

With gas prices so high, local commercials for car dealers have quintupled, especially those dealers specializing in trucks and SUVs. Anyone who'd buy a full size truck or SUV at this point has to be certifiably insane.

Why can't scientists create a breed of cat that never gets bigger than a three-month-old kitten?

I got a combination laser level & stud finder for my birthday. So far, all I've used it for is a totally sensational cat toy.

Mother's Day is Sunday, but my mother is so old her mind is slipping. She thinks I'm her little sister, so I hope the Mother's Day card I got her doesn't confuse her.

I think common ivy could be adapted for use in war. The renegade ivy in my yard could completely ensconce a platoon of tanks in one day.

I wish I liked country music so I could support the Dixie Chicks by buying their CD's. Lead singer Natalie Maines has bigger balls than white trash Toby Keith could ever dream of having. Besides, he looks like the type who'd have incredibly stinky feet.

Some music mogul needs to plan a Woodstock-sized, televised concert that concentrates on condemning the Bush administration and the war. Either that, or someone should produce a "We Are the World" style video with lyrics that skewer the hell out of this bunch of crooks we are stuck with in Washington.
