WTF Wednesday aka ". . . you don't really wanna mess with me tonight . . . "

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is back!

WTF . . .
. . . is with people who claim to be vegetarians because it is wrong to kill animals and eat the products derived therefrom, but then toast and eat ordinary grocery store (i.e., not special, vegan-store) marshmallows over a campfire? Do they not know that they are eating gelatin and that gelatin is derived from the bones, skin, hooves, and tendons of dead animals? Or do they just make an exception because it doesn't look like an animal? I was a veggie myself for a time, so I feel justified in saying "BE CONSISTENT PEOPLE!" If you are a vegetarian because you don't want to eat animals, lay off the damn marshmallows. That means no rice crispie treats, no toasted marshmallows, no mallo cups, no Peeps. 'K? If you are a vegetarian only because it is healthier and are not taking a moral stand re: animals, have all the marshmallows you want.
P.S. This applies to Jell-O too, of course. Apparently some people think that because some gelatins are kosher they are vegetarian. My understanding is that because gelatin comes from hides, bones, and tendons and not FLESH, it is considered pareve: neither meat nor dairy. It may not be animal FLESH, but it is still derived from a dead animal that did not die of old age.


. . . is my problem today? I have a nasty, coughing-from-deep-down-inside cold AND terrible cramps. Hormones and a cold - yea! And to add to my misery: SNOW DAY! That's right - they cancelled school AGAIN. Something about slippery roads. Wimps.

. . . is with guys on "dating" sites (okay, I'm talking about AFF.com here) and such who only send a picture of their equipment, but not their face? And think that telling me that they have a big wang and nothing else is going to make me want to meet them? No, no, NO. I want to know a little about you as a person, I want a recent face picture, I want you to have some idea of proper spelling and grammar (typos are understandable), and treat me like a human being for goodness' sake! Men far outnumber women on these sites and you want to stand out from the crowd. Trust me, if you come off as having intelligence and good manners - you will stand out.

. . . is with my kid today? Boy got to sleep in until 8:30 because of the snow day. Then he got up, took off his pajamas, and has been buck nekkid ever since. I ask if he would like to put some clothes on and he says "No thank you." It's 10 degrees (F) outside, 65 (F) in the house. He's got to be freezing. It's windy and sometimes we can even feel it in the house. Last night I could feel every strong gust blow past me as I lay in bed. This old house (83 years old) leaks like a sieve.

. . . is with Spousehole? When he came home for lunch, I said I needed to run to the store for a couple things while he was there with the kids. I was planning to take his vehicle, since it has the snow cleaned off and was still warm from him just coming here from work. He says "No, the roads are pretty bad yet. You would be better off walking." Walking? Uh huh. The actual temps are in single digits (F) and windchills are -20 to -30. Wind gusts up to 50 mph. Sidewalks mostly not shoveled because no one wants to go out in the cold and shovel. Roads - slippery but plowed. I'm such a dumbass, I actually walked as far as the end of the block before saying "Fuck this" and turning around and getting in Spousehole's car. The roads were not bad at all in the 5.5 blocks from our house to the store. I think the car was the better idea. The eggs probably would have frozen on the walk home :-)

A bonus video - just because this is SO hot! Eduardo Cruz - Cosas Que Contar

Eduardo is Monica and Penelope Cruz' little brother, that's why they are in the video. But that's not Monica that Penelope kisses at 4:20 or so; that's Mia Maestro.
The lyrics to Cosas Que Contar
I'm still here looking for something to bite
So much wind, so many ridiculous people
I'm still here, no doubt everything is real
I'm still walking among hard notes

And kissing you every day
without knowing who I am
You make night in my life
A confusion

And kissing you every day
without knowing who
I keep your smiles
Tell me what you do... yeah!!

I'm still here, scared
by something that isn't
today this sky and ground unite
I'm still here, it turns out everything goes on feet
So much time, so many ridiculous people

And kissing you every day
without knowing who I am
You make night in my life
A confusion

And kissing you every day
without knowing who
I keep your smiles
Tell me what you do... yeah!!

Without knowing who I am

And kissing you every day
without knowing who I am
You make night in my life
A confusion

And kissing you every day
without knowing who
I keep your smiles
Tell me what you do... yeah!!

Sigo aquí en busca de algo que morder
Cuanto viento cuanta gente absurda
Sigo aquí sin duda todo es real
Sigo andando entre notas duras

Y besarte cada día
Sin saber quien soy
Anocheces en mi vida
Una confusión

Y besarte cada día
Sin saber quien soy
Yo me guardo tus sonrisas
Dime que haces tu….yeah!!

Sigo aquí me asusta
Algo que, no es
Hoy el cielo y este suelo se juntan
Sigo aquí resulta que todo va sobre pies
Cuanto tiempo cuanta gente absurda

Y besarte cada día
Sin saber quien soy
Anocheces en mi vida
Una confusión

Y besarte cada día
Sin saber quien soy
Yo me guardo tus sonrisas
Dime que haces tu …yeah!!

Sin saber quien soy

Y besarte cada día
Sin saber quien soy
Anocheces en mi vida
Una confusión

Y besarte cada día
Sin saber quien soy
Yo me guardo tus sonrisas
Dime que haces tu…yeah!!
