It's the month before Anime Expo, which means that virtually all my waking hours are spent filling costume orders -leaving me virtually NO time for puttering around on my website, posting new costume updates, or posting weary, self-effacing blog entries. And since I don't feel like putting a lot of energy into THIS particular entry, (and knowing that it takes very little effort to snark), I'll simply make it a list of things which are currently bugging me.
JoAnn's Fabrics - Sure, as faceless, multi-national, fabric retail chainstores go, you're second to none, but why, WHY do you feel it's necessary to change around the entire layout of your stores every FIVE MINUTES? Do you do it to be capricious? Or do you do it out of some misguided, paranoid notion that people who walk into a store and who are actually able to FIND what they're looking for in under 40 minutes might somehow be a bane and a threat to society as we know it? I don't know what you're up to, JoAnn's, but the next time I have to whip out a compass and hire a couple of sherpa guides to find my way around one of your stores, that's the LAST time I'll be shopping at it...
California - So what does a celebrity have to do to be convicted of a crime in this state? Michael Jackson could have sodomized an entire schoolbus full of children with a bottle of Big Bird bubble bath on live TV and his lawyers would probably STILL have been able to find a pool of people stupid/high/reality challenged enough to ignore all basic tenets of logic and reason and let him off. Geez, California. Hurry up and fall into the ocean already...(No.....wait...if you did that, I'd lose half my costumer base....Uh...Forget I said anything...)
Our neighbors - Yes, it's nice that you want to re-landscape your entire yard, but do you have to do so AFTER MIDNIGHT? And do you have to move in your trucks and heavy machinery at 7 am in the morning? DON'T YOU PEOPLE EVER SLEEP? I've seen meth addicts who are more languid and laid back than you people, so I suppose your work habits shouldn't be all that surprising....
Best Buy - Why is it you possess 110 copies of every Dragonball permutation ever animated, but you only have volumes 8, 9 and 10 of a truly decent series like 12 Kingdoms? Here's a tip: If people can't buy the FIRST few volumes of a series, they're not gonna WANT to buy the LAST few volumes...why bother to even sell them?
Mother Nature - For deciding to FINALLY send the Midwest a stretch of nice, non-rainy, non-humid, non-spoiled-by-water-in-any-way-shape-or-form weather only now when I'm cooped up inside working for 14 hours a day. Curse you, Mother Nature, you evil, blackhearted harridan!
Nickelodeon - For cancelling Invader Zim. I STILL haven't gotten over that one.
Elmo from Sesame Street - God, why can't that shrill, cutesy pile of felt and fur just DIE? Every time I hear it's voice I want to kill myself and everyone within a 50 foot radius. Shoot that hairy red zit (Along with that Barney dinosaur...thing) into space and every person on Earth over the age of 2 would celebrate. I know it.
My parent's crappy genes Thanks Mom and Dad. I know it wasn't your fault but, a predisposition to heart disease, cancer, tooth decay AND female hirsutism? Man, did our family fall head-first into the shallow end of the gene pool or what?
Me - for not being able to think of a decent ending to this list...thingy... God, I suck....
