A whole lot of nothing.

What is with winter?
Two weeks ago the ground was covered with at least six feet of snow. Last week it got insanely warm and all the snow melted away, leaving just a foot on the ground. Of course, all sorts of places got flooded and even we didn't escape nature's wrath. We ended up with about an inch of water in our laundry room. Luckily we caught it quickly, and a day was spent scrubbing it all away and disinfecting. We were one of the lucky ones, apparently some people ended up with a few FEET of water in their basements. That would suck a lot. Imagine all the stuff that would get destroyed if the bottom half of your place was filled with water. It would be a nightmare to clean up too.

Aliens.
So I was outside shoveling and some aliens pulled up in their spaceship. After asking for directions to the nearest moon (luckily for me it was easy to spot and all I had to do was point) they asked me if I wanted to hop in and tour the solar system with them. While I had always wanted to do this, they sort of smelled funny and they said I couldn't tell my husband before leaving. Since we have a standing rule about neither of us being allowed to take off in spaceships without the other, I had to politely decline.
Damn. Maybe next time.

2008.
Only two more years until we get a cool year. Instead of saying "two thousand and whatever" we'll be able to say "twenty-ten" and go up from there. It just sounds way cooler. At least it will until twenty-twelve and the whole world comes to an end. Thanks Mayans, thanks a lot. Figures that as soon as we get say something cool that you come along and ruin it two years into it. If you don't believe me, read it for yourself, they're not the only ones telling us these things.

WTF Leafs?
Seriously, what the hell is going on? Why must you suck so much? Why must you give others even more reasons to make fun of us Leaf fans? WHY? Do something about it! Sigh.

De-humidifiers.
Why the HELL are they so much money? I'm outraged.

Are you still reading this crap?
I've babbled on about a lot of stupid crap here, and you're still reading? Wow. I'm impressed! You deserve a cookie and several cool points. Go on, take them.
