Equal opportunity ignoramus

Equal opportunity ignoramus

Moderator (African-American woman, because diversity’s a Good Thing): Vice President Cheney…blahblahblah Mullah Prince Ali a-babwa Iraq WMD blah blah?
Cheney: I’d like to thank you for moderating and blahblahyap for hosting….
Me: (walks out)

Actually, I’m in and out during the debate. Kudos to John Edwards, though, for keeping his dulcet Southern accent. It even sounds like he’s playing it up at times. Al Gore lost his while he was Veep, So when he spoke at the Dem Convention and sounded like Boss Hogg, I nearly fell out of my seat!

(FWIW, Thor has worked hard to lose his accent. I miss it, and I blame every Northerner who assumes that Southern accented folks are dumb.)

Is everyone taking a drink when “Halliburton” is mentioned? Hope not, it’s a weeknight.

I haven’t had much incentive to write here. I’m working the 5:30 – 2:00 schedule (my old schedule!) this week for training purposes, and I’m beat. So my current state in a nutshell:

  • Excited about vacation in 10 days
  • Planning Halloween Party for 10/30…my first party ever!
  • Tired

    A huge thanks and good luck to Evan. He was the CEO of Blogger, the tool which made it easier for thousands (including me) to have a voice online. He’s leaving Blogger (now a part of Google) to take a break and live life. Well met, Ev.

    Hello, Marietta, Georgia! 😉

    Hello!

    About Me

    I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

    I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

    Well, that happened.
