alas

I am so missing my kickass satellite package daddy had us signed up on... even though MOST of the time he controlled the remote and he had a fondness for news, old-fashioned gospel music, westerns of all eras, and "hanna montana."

well, if they still made sitcoms, maybe he wouldn't have started watching the disney channel. and that is 100 percent my fault.

my nephew and niece-in-law arrived and they have three little girls. well, daddy was watching the news and it was discussing something that involved many people dying (this war we're in probably). so, panicked, I turned it on "hanna montana."

and, I have to say, if a person doesn't like reality shows or game shows... well, there is at least a story to it. also, his hearing wasn't that great any more so miley's singing didn't bother him. I heard one of her songs the other day and, I swear, I thought it was billy ray. seriously.

she sounds just like him. supposedly, she's not his biological daughter, but I don't know about that.

(sigh) I miss my father.

animal prints

wtf is it with animal prints? I understand there are certain circumstances when such a thing might be fashionable or cute or sexy, but they're everywhere. I had a hard time finding appropriate funeralwear because 85 percent of everything else had leopard or snake or zebra all over it. at some point, this becomes un-cute, un-sexy, and surely at these levels of concentration cannot be fashionable.

I like fashion, but I may have to give up on vogue. not because of the aforementioned animal print. just bills and so on...

my sister changed my satellite package (she doesn't live here, long story). i'm on the "family package." people who know me are rolling their eyes or actually rolling on the floor. normally, I would be p.o.ed, but I am too sad to care too much. still, it's weird. that's all i'm saying.
