Time for Bullets!

Woohoo.

So, I’m home alone, possibly for the entire weekend! (Anyone want to come over and partay?) John left around noon today to go camping with his buddy, Lee, at Waddell Creek near Olympia so that they can get up at the buttcrack of dawn and go dredging for gold! There is a very limited “dredging season” and it begins August 1st, so they are stoked. It is hot-hot-HOT. Areas exceeded 100° today! (I wonder if John brought along any shorts? He’s not a big shorts wearer, but I suspect he’ll wish he had, if not).

He was so excited about this. Like a kid. It’s been a while (a month?) since he’s been out to do some prospecting and he’s been a busy guy in the interim, so he was due.

• Waiting to hear from my son (he was supposed to call me to discuss some wedding reception details—I have a list of questions—but he hasn’t yet. Which is fairly typical. His new bride is in San Antonio for a month of training, otherwise I’d chat with her.
• The Washington Post asked a question on Facebook: “Will you miss him (Jon Stewart)?” And I commented: “’Miss’ isn’t the word. There will be a deep, dark hole when he’s gone.”   As of this moment, 1,290 1,380 people have “liked” that comment.
• It’s true; Jon Stewart is absolutely brilliant. (Besides hysterically funny). It’s so sad he’s not hanging around through the upcoming presidential election season. *sob*
• I. Cannot. Believe. Trump. Is. A. Thing. What a bloviating twit he is. Ever notice that when he talks, his mouth takes the shape of an anus? It does!

 

                                           What a pompous ass.

• Of course, the entire GOP clown train of candidates (17 of them so far) makes me shudder from the insanity they spew from their alternate universe. “I do not and will never understand you or anything about you. You speak a foreign language; your priorities are beyond my comprehension.”
• Finished reading “The Martian,” and it was really good! No literary masterpiece by any means, but I loved the science of it! Wow, space is hard.
• Why can’t I order (and pay a nominal price) for small samples of lipsticks so I can try them out and determine what I like? I do NOT want to spend $27 on a tube of lipstick (or even $8!) to then discover that I hate it. Maybe I need to go to a mall and have a “make-over” by someone who knows what they’re doing and I can see firsthand what works and what doesn’t. Seems like that would be pretty fun. (Or not?)
• The oven repairman came (again) and determined that we need a new part (again) which will take another two weeks before I (maybe) have a properly working oven. We’ve been dealing with this for months now. Why is it so difficult to repair this damned thing?
• Tried Jamberry nail wraps today and it was pretty much a disaster, which I was afraid of. I really can’t blame the product though; it’s apparent that they are very good quality. But the thing is, you actually need to HAVE nails for them to work. I basically don’t. But I also fumbled everything pretty badly before I got the hang of it (one nail turned out half-way decently). They should provide a practice sheet!
• This broke my heart and filled me with rage. Why the HELL does anyone need to go “trophy hunting?” Get a penis enlargement instead!
• Woohoo, Russell Wilson agreed to an $88 million contract and will be with the Seahawks for the next five years! (Yes, it’s obscene how much these athletes earn. Definitely misplaced societal value.)
• Think I’ll find a movie to watch! Update: binge-watched several episodes of Grace and Frankie.
