I could use one of those alien abductions right now. Nice vacation.
Christmas is over, and I’m still living. It was a close call, as usual, but practice has made me able to stifle any possible reaction I have to annoyingness and things that just irritate me all to hell.
I’ve decided that light displays combining Jesus in the manger with Santa are just creepy and wrong. Maybe if Santa were IN the manger it’d be ok because, well, old white guy with a beard? Clearly symbolizes God. Or god, depending on what you believe or pretend to believe. I don’t quite understand the red suit, but I figure it prevents you from getting hit by cars when you jog at night. An omnipowerful figure would clearly not be hurt by this, but it’d be irritating. And all those car accidents might limit the amount of followers of your religion.
Ok, later I may update with more details on the holiday “festivities.” Until then, if you’re in Ames, well, so am I so you might as well call me. And then you can help me with these grad school apps. “Helping” includes keeping me sane. Which might involve total distraction. See? I’m not all boring. Just mostly.
