I hate those white trash fuckers and their squalling crotchfruit, too. God, I can’t fucking wait to get out of this dump!

All I’ve bought today were some antique brass buttons to put on a top. I *loved* the colour and the fit, but the buttons are kind of fake wood-looking and although they’re okay, I think the top will look nicer with the antique brass floral pattern.

I hear a bird I don’t recognise. A sweet, twittering call, but not a goldfinch. I don’t think it’s a house finch, either. Hmmm…let’s go see if he’s visible…

If you can afford to wait a week or two more than you would at home, China is fucking awesome for scarves. I won’t need these until fall, but I’m really looking forward to wearing them, and at five bucks apiece (seriously!!), they’re a goddamned good deal! I swear I’m not buying anything else this weekend (I hope…or I’ll be fucking broke by the time I go back to work).

I don’t really need a winter coat yet, but I saw that beautiful, rich brown Kristen Blake wool coat on sale, only one left, and I had to get it before it was gone. It’s classic, so I’ll be able to wear it for years, and it’ll solve my problem of not having a casual winter coat in brown that will double as dressy if necessary!

20% off on top of a Labour Day sale for using the store card that I pay right off and upon which I never pay interest, plus a $10 rewards code, and a $9 clearance infinity scarf brought me to the point where I didn’t have to pay $8 shipping. In the end, I got the olive green skinnies I wanted, plus plain black skinnies and the scarf for a little over the sale price of the green jeans, and I still have a free shipping rewards code for my birthday month with no minimum purchase. I’ve been eyeing those green jeans for a month, but I’m allergic to shipping charges, so I waited. I couldn’t decide between the black MIA combat boots that would go with everything and the tan ones I’m dying to wear with my olive/tan star print jeans (eBay score–ten bucks and yay for people who have no idea how much Moschino jeans cost!),  so I got both. I don’t like the laces, but laces are cheap.

Ten bucks off, plus a full Take Ten, so they were only $70. I love the pockets, and they’ll work with a lot of the “autumn-y” (it’s a word…now) shades I like to wear in (duh) autumn. I had to go up a size, even though last year’s size 29 Sukis fit fine…these must run a bit small. Inseams are odd for these, and 35 was too long, so only low heels with these, but they’re a baby-boot cut, so that’ll work. Now I just need those MIA boots, but which colour? Maybe both! 😀

At some point in time before you reach hamplanet status, do you not look in a mirror and notice something is amiss? You can’t lose the weight, dumbass, because you let it go until you are carrying enough extra fat to create an entire other person. If you’d taken care of business when it was 20, 30, 40 or even 50 pounds, it’d be no big deal. Duh!

FB is not only a barrage of stupid advertising that forces me to constantly play catch-up in an effort to save my sanity, but it’s boring. Enough recipes to make me check and ensure that I didn’t accidentally install Pinterest, dire warnings about shit that might just as well be titled “forwards from grandma”, pictures I saw and articles I read last week, stupid half-truths and utter bullshit about the latest “green miracle substance” (vinegar, baking soda or peroxide–pick one), warnings about the carcinogen du jour…Jesus Christ. Everyone falling all over himself (grammatically correct, if not politically) to “share”, and not one original thought or opinion. Not a fucking one.

I set this up on my phone, since FB is getting more like Pinterest with every recipe and picture I saw two weeks ago on Reddit, and I can’t be arsed to switch to G+. Now we’ll see whether or not I actually use it! Nobody reads this except me, but OTOH, only about three people besides me read my FB stuff, so there’s little difference.

The video of the mother hummingbird caring for her chicks is wonderful. The music is semi-lame, but that’s what “mute” is for. The captions were lame and mostly useless, though I don’t think I would’ve realised she was shading them from hot sun if I’d not read it. Otherwise, useless. Titling the fucking thing, “God’s Love” made me want to hunt down the dumb bastard who shot the video and kick him in the balls. What the FUCK has Invisible Sky Daddy got to do with a female hummingbird following her instincts and caring for her chicks because that’s her contribution to the continued success of the species? WHY do people have to take a wonderful video about nature…and stick their ridiculous “I never have to grow up and daddy loves me” fantasies into it? You’re delusional…what the fuck ever, but stop ruining perfectly lovely things with your stupidity. I could have stomached, “A Mother’s Love”, though I’d have rolled my eyes and experienced some vague nausea, but “God’s Love” just pissed me off. I hope those little birds live long and successful lives (by hummingbird standards), but I hope something bad happens to that asshole…see how “God’s Love” works out for him then.
