Lazy Summer

I bought The Sims 3 last week. I will not be having human contact with anyone for a while.

I have been purchasing Mountain Dew by the liter now, because they still have the old label. (They're old...no one really buys liters of pop. It's either a small bottle or a 2-liter.) I really, really despise the Mtn Dew. Regardless, it is too delicious to not drink it. I just don't want to look at the bottle.

There's a new style of parenting going on. It's called 'Bring a portable DVD player everywhere so my kid will stare at the screen and turn into a fat ass'. Yes, it is nice that your child isn't annoying me by screaming, but, Jesus, a storybook or coloring works just as well.

Bangs may not graduate on time. She failed Algebra 2 and will most likely fail Chemistry. My parents are somehow surprised. And she claims that she does nothing but hard work. I wish I could agree. However, the last time I checked, hard work isn't going over to your friend's house directly from school, coming home at 9pm, doing homework half-assed while chatting on your cell phone for four hours straight and watching TV simultaneously and waiting until the last minute to do every project. Maybe I was just taught differently, who knows? Here's the kicker: she wants to go into nursing or dental hygiene. Guess what that is...Math and Science. Good luck, Bangs. She's also upset because she went to the Class of 2009 graduation and people were screaming for individual people. She asked if I would scream for her. I said no. She said why. I said maybe she shouldn't have sucked. What I meant to say was I wouldn't scream for anyone so it doesn't matter. It's obnoxious. Ugh.

Arby's gives away stuff every Wednesday. It's pretty amazing. I am not ashamed to say that I went to Arby's more than once yesterday and got a free Chicken Club every time.

7 Ways to Annoy a Flight Attendant. I don't like flying really, but I thought this was very funny.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to play The Sims 3. And by play the Sims 3, I mean building an ark and finding animals in pairs because it's a fucking flash flood.
