Holiday blahs.

Wow. So weird, all this time I haven't been able to sleep here and lately I come in and sleep the sleep of the dead. I'm like, awake, fully awake, for what feels like the first time in months.

Last night, with a little help from morlock, I figured out how to do full-length posts from my phone. Lemony fresh victory is mine. I was going to post something to that effect from the phone last night, but true to form, hit a wrong button and the phone ate the post.

Vicki is watching Ellen, who just completed a hilarious but poignant rant about how Christmas season is starting earlier and earlier as the years go by. Nothing nobody else hasn't said, but her comparison of the craziness to the melting of the polar ice caps was great. "Here we will be, caroling in July in waist deep water. Boy, then we'll be sorry."

*sigh* I am rather appalled by the appearance of Christmas crap in July. I seriously believe I should see not a peep of holiday stuff until the week of thanksgiving. Cause of course, look what happens, it's the day of thanksgiving and I'm already tired of seeing it. And that pisses me off, 'cause I'm one of those people that is absolutely unabashed about loving the holidays. Course, they're SUCH a big deal in New York... so growing up here does kinda reinforce that. Of course, my rabid Christmas bounciness has been tempered with a healthy does of cynicism... kinda like every holiday. bleh.

I try to live every day like it was a gift (though admittedly at the end of some I'm looking rather frantically for a "returns and exchanges" counter). I'm a little mixed about the sentiment about how people should treat every day/night like a holiday, because it immediately brings up that line from The Incredibles: "Once everyone is 'special'... no one will be." On one hand that could be a good thing. On the other... hmmm.

I posted a longass stream of consciousness type rant about stuff in my other journal... some of this is touching on the crap I vomited forth. maybe later I'll pull out some of the stuff that excercise dredged up and explore it further, but for now, Vicki has converted some of last night's ham into down home country breakfast, so I need to go now...

Oh no, Dad's cranked up the Sara Brightman again. I'm all for grieving, but even Mom's gotta be sick of it by now. *sigh* poor guy.

You know the world is evil and stupid when you walk into CVS and see Halloween, Thanksgiving and Xmas stuff up...In October. I love little moments of true logic, Yes once everyone is special no one will be..so I can't live each day like a holiday but I will enjoy each in some way..New Logic from Sean.
