Tumbleweed blows by…

I can’t imagine anyone still reads this blog, so instead I’ll just use it for venting purposes. For instance, the following things are really getting on my nerves:
- Marley & Me movie previews. The book is about a man (or family) and Marley the dog. The movie is NOT about some love story between Jennifer Anisten’s character (in any movie) and Owen Wilson’s character (in any movie).
- I’m sick of photo Christmas cards. They require zero effort from the sender. I don’t need a picture of your kids and the guilt that comes from eventually throwing it away. (Dogs are ok.)
- People that blame you when they don’t buy a gift, i.e. “You didn’t tell me what you wanted for Christmas, so I didn’t get you anything.” First of all, we’re all adults now. If I “need” something, I usually buy it. So, yeah, I’m not going to give you a list of things I’ve been meaning to buy (trouser socks, Ann Coulter’s new book, Aveeno lotion, etc.). Second of all, I didn’t ask you for a list, but I still managed to buy thoughtful/awesome gifts. Third of all, I don’t know your budget and don’t want to be presumptuous. This year one friend bought me a Blu-Ray player (yay!) and another bought me a Simpsons calendar (yay!). Both were appreciated.
Merry Christmas!

I still read this blog, and I like rants. : ) Most of the picture Christmas cards that I receive required extra effort–choosing where to be photographed, what to wear, who should take the picture, and so on. I hate Christmas newsletters full of boasting about the family.
