Yeah, human beings are supposed to be civilized. We have indoor toilets so we don't have to squat on the ground like animals. Why is it that supposedly evolved people CANNOT FLUSH A PUBLIC TOILET?!!!! Do some people just enjoy fouling a public area by leaving their excrement behind? Do they not have the mental ability to push the handle to whisk away the odorous feces? My dad took me to lunch today and I had too much iced tea. I figured I'd better make a quick stop in the ladies room before we left as I would probably not make it back to his apartment. The smell I encountered upon entering was so foul that it triggered my gag reflex, making me lose a good portion of the iced tea and part of the wonderful lunch down the front of my shirt. I found the offending stall and quickly flushed and then had to clean up myself and the bathroom.

I get really annoyed by those "Parents: the anti drug" commercials on tv and radio where parents are battling with whether they should tell their kids not to do drugs because they've done drugs and feel like hypocrites. Just being picky, but they would only be hypocrites if they were still doing drugs and were telling their kids not to do them. A hypocrite tells you not to eat poorly while he's stuffing his face with a greasy burger and a diet coke. A hypocrite tells you that you shouldn't smoke because smoking will kill you and then lights up. A parent being a parent and looking out for the wellfare of his children even though he's made some foolish choices in the past is not a hypocrite.

Star Wars meets Toy Story—
check out the Darth Vader Mr. Potato Head offered by Hasbro. Too funny!

I think my friend Chrissy needs one of these!

Current mood: disappointed
Well, I went to the Christkindl Market. That was more of a ripoff than the Renaissance Festival. Sorry, but I am not paying $5 for a brat. There wasn't even anything cool to buy. I wish I had stayed home and put up my decorations. Oh, well. At least I went and know what it was all about. It was kind of sad to see how run-down the 16th Street mall has become. I guess the last time I was down in that area was in the late '80s before the Pavillions was even built. There was a jazz quartet playing there as I left and I believe I went to UNC with three of the guys. Sadly, I can't remember any of their names (I graduated in '90, afterall). It's nice to see that some of the people I went to school with are still playing. I wish I was.
