the road beckons

too much thinking
too little drinking

Demure girls with an adventurous streak. 

DANGER!

This has been an interesting week. Life seems to have finally caught up to me.

Update: Yes, this is probably the most interesting week of my entire life.  

DNC: Bill Clinton

Bill Clinton just tore apart the GOP's butt hole.  Absolutely tore it part.  Ouch.

A fetter is born...

Our household just acquired for free a beautiful, solid oak and glass, antique display cabinet.

I hate it.

I don't care how many thousands of dollars it may be worth or how beautiful it looks,  When I saw it, taking up all that space, so big, so clunky, so...immovable and heavy, so unmatching, i felt like another chain was attached to our lives.  That thing is never leaving our house, and most likely, it will never move from the spot where it sits right now.  Give me cheap, lightweight, disposable, non-sentimental particle board furniture from Ikea; I don't want these....fetters. Because that's what our new cabinet is,  a great big pain in the ass that won't easily fit into our lives nor easily leave our lives .  We are stuck with this fucking thing, and I resent that fact.
