The WTF Of The Day

10 Of The Most Ridiculous Parenting Products Ever Made

That Peekaru thing....why?

Do you know what should be on this list? These. It's unhealthy how much I hate those things. They are the most riduculous things I have ever seen. I went to Chili's for dinner and some couple walks in with their baby girl and she had one of those abominations on and I swear the flower was about twice the size of the baby's head. It was ridiculous looking.

Ugh. I don't care how much of an uppity bitch it makes me sound, but when I read through parenting magazines and parenting forums, I am more and more glad I am never going to be a mother. Women are ridiculous when they become mothers. Especially those ones who are all life isn't complete without a baby blah blah blah. Bullshit. If I had a baby right now, it would ruin my life. Well, more than I have already ruined it. I would love it, of course, but to be frank, I would never be able to love a child the way it should be loved.

And the argument of who will take care of you when you are old always slays me. Yeah, because having a child always guarantees someone will be there to take care of you when you are old and annoying. Give me a break. Besides, I intend on offing myself at 50 years old anyway, although the idea of doing it at a younger age appeals to me more and more.

On another note, Antenna TV has rolled the Three Stooges back to 1:00AM. I am so full of joy!

Enough With The Weather!

Tomorrow's forecast:




















My stomach is already in knots. The knots have knots. There is talk of squall lines and supercells:
OF PARTICULAR CONCERN IS THE EXPECTED MID LEVEL JET THAT SHOULD INTENSIFY AS IT EJECTS ACROSS WRN PA TO SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 70KT OVER UPSTATE NY BY 09/00Z. WITH DEEPENING SFC LOW OVER SERN ONTARIO FORECAST SHEAR PROFILES BECOME QUITE FAVORABLE FOR SUSTAINING ORGANIZED UPDRAFTS. WHILE A DAMAGING SQUALL LINE IS EXPECTED ALONG THE ADVANCING COLD FRONT...ENVIRONMENTAL SHEAR WILL BECOME QUITE FAVORABLE FOR PRE-FRONTAL SUPERCELLS AND EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS WITHIN THE MAIN SQUALL LINE. FORECAST SOUNDINGS FROM NRN NJ NWD THROUGH THE HUDSON VALLEY SUGGEST TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE IF DISCRETE SUPERCELLS CAN EVOLVE AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE AND WITH CIRCULATIONS WITHIN THE LINE. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE BACK EDGE OF THE PRIMARY SQUALL LINE WILL ADVANCE INTO THE HUDSON VALLEY BY LATE AFTERNOON TRAILING SWWD INTO CNTRL VA BY 09/00Z WITH SUBSEQUENT MOVEMENT ACROSS MUCH OF NEW ENGLAND BY 06Z. 
Ugh what is with this weather? Wasn't Tuesday enough? And I really wish I could understand what I am reading here. Some I understand, but the abbreviations and some of the terminology are harder to comprehend. Guess it's time for me to teach myself meterology.

Embedded supercells? Is that like supercells in supercells? Yo dawg I heard you like supercells? Oh god I want to throw up, even though it kind of sounds like Northern Jersey and New York are more at risk for the supercells and possible tornadoes. And I seriously feel like punching all the people on Accuweather's FB page that are actually excited over this! Are you fucking stupid?

ETA 9/8 1:51AM: I am going to be up all night worrying about this storm system. As of right now, 4 fatalities have been reported in the Oklahoma.

ETA 9/8 1:08PM: Ugh I have never wanted a day to get over as much as today. Except back when Irene hit. A severe thunderstorm watch was issued for my area until 10:00PM. Nine freaking hours from now! And a tornado supposedly touched down up in New York. Sure it's not near here, but still. SPC has a low probability for tornados with this watch and a very low probability for an EF-2 or greater. As of last night, they had my area under a 5% chance of a tornado. Now they moved it down to 2%. And yet the Weather Channel TOR:CON was at a 3 yesterday for NJ. Now it's at a 5. I almost fainted when I saw that.

On another note, I keep seeing commercials on TWC for this upcoming show called Iceberg Hunters. These people actually are out with guns and nets shooting and catching pieces of icebergs. Who knew such a thing existed? I'd be lmao off I didn't feel like I am going to puke.

ETA 9/9 12:27AM: Well, my area was lucky. Extremely lucky. We just had rain.


















I want to cry because I am so relieved. I was an utter wreck all day.

Random MTV Music Awards Thoughts

Have the music awards on right now. One Direction is going to be performing. I can't wait to hear how autotuned they are. They're about the only reason I am watching it. God, they are so freaking adorable. Especially Harry and Liam. I want to punch myself in the face for thinking this.

Okay. Can't hear over all of the incessant obnoxious screaming. STFU, you dumb tweens! Are they going to do anything besides just stand there and/or walk around? Sure, MGMT didn't really do much at their show, but uh, they play instruments. The boy bands in my day (god I sound like such an old person) used to dance like all holy hell. And while I do agree that there is no written law that boy bands have to dance, but well, um, when looks and half-decent singing are all you have....you have to do something.

The rest of the show, I am watching on mute with my iTunes library playing loudly. I'm just going to pretend everyone is lip-synching to my music. New hits or not, MGMT should be there. Why? Have you seen some of the people that are there? Why are they there? And just because MGMT is awesome. And because they are real musicians. And don't base any judgements on two songs. Seriously- look up how much work they put into their music. It's unbelievable. They write and compose all of their music. I think Andrew pretty much writes all of the lyrics.

And then their instrument talent. WHOA:

From OS:
  • Andrew Vanwyngarden – lead vocals, lead and rhythm guitars, keyboards, drums, percussion
  • Ben Goldwasser – vocals, keyboards rhythm guitars, percussion, synths and samples
From Congratulations:
  • Andrew VanWyngarden: vocals, guitars, drums (3, 4-7, 9), bass (1-4, 6, 9), synths (2, 3, 6, 8), casio guitar (7), piano (2), fake flute (4), harmonica (6), electric sitar (3, 6), percussion
  • Ben Goldwasser: synths and samples (1, 3-9), organ (3-5, 7, 8), piano (4, 8), omnichord (1, 2, 5), numerology (6), additional vocals (2, 4, 7), percussion
  • James Richardson: guitars (1, 2, 5-8), synths (2), casio guitar (7), synth drums (8), glockenspiel (2), saxophone (5), pan pipes (6), additional vocals (7), percussion, electric sitar (3)
  • Matt Asti: guitars (1, 4, 6), bass (4-7), piano (5), additional vocals (7), field recordings and treatments, percussion
  • Will Berman: drums (1, 2, 4), guitars (4, 6), bass (4), additional vocals, percussion, synths
You seriously cannot tell me they are not extremely talented. And again, fuck the hate on Congratulations. If I could take every person who criticized it and lock them in a room and force them to listen to it over and over again until they admit that it is not terrible, I would.

I watched their performance of "Electric Feel" from the 2009 V Fest again last night and I have to say Andrew has definitely improved since then in singing that song. I'm not going to say he was bad, but he definitely sang it better at Musikfest. Their performance of "Brian Eno" was significantly better than when I watched the 2010 Lollapalooza performance of it as well. But either way, I'd rather hear not-so-good live music than lip-synching.



















MY KINGS! YOU SHOULD BE THERE!

They're so funny. Andrew looks like an anime character. Ben looks like he is posing for a school picture. And how in the hell tall is Matt anyway? They're all at least close to 5'10, based on how they compare to Andrew, and if that is how tall he really is. And Matt is like a good half foot at least taller. I always wonder if he is really shy or something, because he always seems to be hiding in the back on stage. DON'T HIDE MATT! WE LOVE YOU TOO!

Now....if I had Photoshop, I would put crowns on each of their heads. Andrew would have the biggest, of course. And because I am feeling really randy, that just sounded incredibly dirty.

9:15PM: OMFG HOW IS THIS MUSIC? Lil Wayne, please stop!

9:37PM: I am screaming along with "Metanoia" and I still sound better than most of these people performing. HELP ME! DRUMMER! TICKET! YEAH!

10:03PM: Hang it up, Rihanna, you insufferable cunt. God she makes me sick. She is about the only person on this earth who has less self-respect than me.

1:38AM: I bitched about Lil Wayne on Facebook and I just discovered I do in fact have friends who are fans of him. Nobody has said anything yet, but I swear if anyone makes one negative comment towards MGMT, I will administer an ass-whooping. You do not take the name of them in vain! Then again, I have plenty of friends on FB who hate Lil Wayne and would probably back me up.

Random Thoughts

I just visited D-Listed and there was an article about that Honey Boo Boo show and how they supposedly make $40,000 a season. I really want someone to tell me why people watch shit like this. And every other POS reality show on TV. I am tired of hearing the excuse that oh it's like a car wreck you can't turn away. BULL. SHIT. Why on God's good earth do you want to help these people make tons of money for being fucking lowlife scum?

That family is the worst. That mother is beyond disgusting and vile. I can't even look at pictures of her without wanting to projectile vomit. The only smart thing the dumb cow ever said was when she made fun of fat people in bikinis and with their fat hanging everywhere. It's the truth. No one wants to see your fat hanging everywhere. If Americans want to know why the rest of the world laughs at, just look at people like this. And politics, especially the Republican party.

I have a deep unhealthy hatred for child beauty pageants. They make me sick. Anyone who subjects their child to them should be revoked of their parenting privileges. They are abuse, plain and simple. When I was down Myrtle Beach, we were over at Barefoot Landing and I stopped in one of the bathrooms and there were these two young women with a little girl and they had the little girl practicing her beauty pageant speech. It made me want to throw up.

Sorry I am cranky. I went to Cracker Barrel for dinner and my sister and I split the apple dumpling dessert. Out of curiosity I came home and googled nutrition facts for CB and found the dessert is 3229 calories. I almost hit the roof. I want to cry so bad. I wouldn't care so much if I hadn't been bad Saturday and Monday as well. Ugh. My meal had to have been at least 2500 calories. That is sick. I've had the dessert before and never gained weight, and I am sure anytime I go to the Cheesecake Factory my meal is about that if not more, but I still feel so damn guilty.

I couldn't stand having the Addison's fear, but having my weight on the front burner again is not any more of a picnic. It's frustrating worrying constantly about gaining weight. And worrying that the constant worrying of gaining weight is going to lead to an eating disorder. I recall when reading on eating disorders that a lot of people with EDs feel like their eating and weight are the only things they can control in their life. And I do feel like that, because the rest of my life I feel like I have completely lost control of. And that is what worries me.

Random Tornado Thoughts

I knew summer would not be complete without at least one tornado warning. The past couple weeks, I have been thinking gee, we haven't had any yet this summer, surely one is bound to come eventually. And finally the weather did not disappoint me. Today we had one. Actually there were two in my county today, but I think the earlier one affected further east of my county. The second one was right over my township. And apparently, funnel clouds were spotted, thankfully to the west of my town. Even so, as soon as I saw that a tornado warning was issued, I immediately started shaking and hyperventilating. Didn't help that when the warning started listing where the tornado would be near, it listed my town as one of them.

I'm not one to condemn weather predictions, because I understand meteorology is not an easy thing to predict, but so much for relying on the Weather Channel and SPC storm predictions. Nowhere in the Northeast was listed under the TOR:CON for today. No severe thunderstorm threat. SPC had no storm probabilities for any of the areas.






















On another note, I [shamefully] requested a copy of One Direction's CD from my local libray. What? I think a couple of their songs are catchy and I want to hear the rest of them. But I'm sorry, I am not buying their CD. I haven't even bought MGMT's CDs, although that is more due to the fact that NO GODDAMN STORES SELL THEIR CDS ANYMORE (I still might buy them if I ever find them. I could order them online, of course. But I don't feel like it). My library only has 3 copies of it and I am 8th in line for it. Ugh it's going to be so embarrassing when I have to go pick it up, because I can't do self-checkout with CDs, so a librarian or volunteer will have to check it out for me. They'll be looking at me like ew, why is someone so old checking out their CD? Then again, I supposedly look a hell of a lot younger than my age, according to every single person I meet, but I don't see it. I think I look haggard for 28.

I just have to remember to return it on time; otherwise, this post will come to life. Their fans are fucking psychotic. I did a teeny bit of research on the whole Larry shipping thing and....mother of God. Okay, yes they would be a very sweet and adorable couple. They're so sweet and adorable together, my pancreas temporarily stops producing insulin and gives me temporary diabetes every time I see pictures of them together. And hey, I admit to my fair share of fantasizing about two people who would look good together. But I just do it for fun. I would never sit and write stories or anything. It's all in my head with the rest of my fucked up thoughts.What? You don't think I look at Ben and Andrew and think dirty thoughts? But wow. Those fans.....I couldn't imagine being that serious and dedicated to something.

ETA 1:31AM: Possible tornado strikes in Southern NJ

Okay. No. That is way, WAY too close for comfort.

And that shopping center that the video was taken from? I have been there many times.

ETA 12:57PM: OH GOD IT WAS A TORNADO 

I mentioned to my mom last night about how a possible tornado had hit, and she starts saying about how if one was to hit our area, they would tell us to get out. I said no, that is why they give you a warning, to prepare if one was to hit. And she says something like if one hits and that is how she is meant to die, so be it. I mentally facepalmed myself. That is the whole point of warnings! So you don't die, or at least decrease your risk of dying!

Random Thoughts

So summer is essentially over now. It really flew by. And I didn't do anything that exciting, with the exception of going to Myrtle Beach in June (which would have been more fun if some people weren't such pain in the asses about everything) and going to Musikfest. God I want to to relive that night again so bad. Minus the heat and rain.

I was really nervous about summer coming since I started having issues with blood pressure running on the low side. I was really worried I would pass out or have other problems. Luckily, I never did. I did have times where I felt sick from the heat, but never enough to pass out. I don't even know how my blood pressure has been running. I haven't taken it in such a long time. I'm glad that was one compulsion I was finally able to break. It took a lot of hard work, but eventually it finally ceased. I just wish I could eventually finally break free from the fear of having Addison's. I probably have more than enough evidence that I do not have it, but like I have repeatedly said, letting go makes me feel like I am jinxing myself.

I noticed a lot of the people I used to work with who still have their jobs have been bitching up a storm on Facebook about wanting to leave, so one day I sent a message to my WA, or what I will now call FWA. Because obviously she can't be bothered with me. But whatever. Fuck her white trash ass. Apparently they bitched about something to my old boss and she got mad at them and is now being really ignorant to them. Now I know she is a fucking menace. She is clearly someone who gets stressed out easily and should not be anywhere near a management position. Exactly why I have never been in one. But hearing this from my FWA, she of the I only talk for 10 minutes but was really over an hour, I am taken this with a grain of salt. Frankly, everyone I worked with there is always going to greatly exaggerate their problems. Just her little bitching FB post about getting in trouble for her clothes. Her clothes were always inappropriate for work

And once again, they should all be fucking grateful they still have jobs. And you know what? If any of them left or was fired and my boss, if she really liked me as much as she claimed she did, called and offered me a position and it fit what I was looking for, I wouldn't hesitate to take it. Please. Why should I care if I take a job from any of those people? Why should I care if it hurts them? Would they think twice about doing the same to me? Nope.

I'm seriously getting tired of constantly worrying about other people's feelings. I don't want to be downright cruel, but it's almost ridiculous how much I have let slip through my fingers from being too worried about hurting other people. Why was I so stupid?

And speaking of being cruel, did anyone hear that story about the teenager who stuck his head out the top of a bus and got killed? A prime example of what is wrong with parenting today. Every generation coming up is full of defiant little bastards who think no rules apply to them. They were told not to open it and I can just imagine the stupid little bastard acting cocky and defiant. And where did it get him? Six feet under ground. What a fucking moron.

Random Thoughts

Oh boy the next few months should be peachy. My sister is seriously one of the bitchiest pregnant women I have ever met. More reason I am glad I am not ever having a baby. She acts like I do when I have PMS. I'd probably be like fucking Godzilla.

She wanted to go to Seaside, so of course Mommy and Daddy cater to her(man, I thought the catering to her every whim was bad when she wasn't pregnant) and we end up going today. It was going to be hot, and since I don't own shorts because I hate my legs and since I don't particularly care what I look like since I was going to Seaside, I wanted to go down in my bathing suit and cover up. So I am all finished getting done and then I decide to change my cover up, and I ask which one looked better and she snaps at me that why can't I just wear regular clothes when they are all wearing them. I just looked at her, walked out the room, and changed my clothes. What was the big fucking deal what I wore? It's Seaside, for god's sake.

Pregnant or not, she is really getting on my last nerve. And when she pisses me off, I have to avoid talking to her, because I am very close to really letting her have it.

And I am tired of hearing her bitch about mother-in-law. Every single time she comes over. Just like her husband making digs about our family. They dated each other for 5 fucking years before they got married! They both knew what they were getting into!

I made some complaint earlier and my father says something like oh not to defend her but she is going through a lot. I wanted to turn to him and say are you kidding me? I am not brushing off her bitchiness to me because she chose to get pregnant. I don't get a free pass when I have PMS or am going through a bad time. No, I get screamed at and am given the silent treatment.

That's the thing that makes me laugh. My mother and I fight, and she doesn't talk to me. My sister and my mother fight, and a few minutes later, it's like nothing happened. My sister was a complete bitch to my mother when she was moving, and my mother still busted her ass helping. I get into a little argument with her the night before Musikfest and she tells me keep it up and the tickets will go to waste. Why didn't she say something like keep it up and I won't help you move to my sister when she was being a complete cow during moving?

But anyway, moving slightly off the subject, those baby stores....oy vey! Any time I have to go to Babies R' Us for someone's shower, I dread it. And because no one in my family (either side) knows how to keep their damn legs closed, I end up there a lot more than I would like to. I seriously can't stand it. Partly because I hate the clientele, and mostly because I don't feel anything when I look at the stuff. I might look at some things and think awww. But most stuff, no. I just look at some of the stuff and wonder sarcastically gee, how did we ever survive being raised back in the day? There is seriously some ridiculous baby products out there. I also saw the ugliest, and very expensive, strollers I have ever seen in my life in that Buy Buy Baby store. They didn't even look comfortable! They looked like medieval torture chairs! And some of the bibs I see at Babies R' Us.....are you for real? Will clothes makers knock it off with the attitude clothing already? I am so sick of all of the stupid attitude shirts that kids wear. You know, the ones that say shit like "This is what awesome looks like" or something bragging about lazy the kid is.

This is cute, though. I always said I would buy one of those onesies that say "if you think I am cute, you should see my aunt" but now I have too much of a complex to ever buy one. And hell, there is even a bedding set I would totally buy if I was having a brat. And that kid would get the set regardless of its gender. Who cares if the store considers it a boy's bedroom set? I am not catering to that feminine or masculine pink or blue bullshit. Why couldn't a little girl like monsters?

The Awesome Of The Day

I just checked the SPC webpage and it is the first time since Tuesday there are no tornado watches. Huzzah! The last two expired at 10:00PM CDT.

Looking at some of the pictures of the damage....just whoa. Some places are pratically underwater.

You know what else fascinates me during these storms? The reporters that give the news in the midst of them. I don't know how they do it. I would have to tie myself to a light pole or something. Are these people crazy or just friggin awesome? Especially that Cantore guy. He's a BAMF.

I found a link in the Weather Channel webpage of every song they have played on the Local Forecast and I am hooting at some of the songs. I have heard local forecasts with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Maroon 5, Snow Patrol, Pink Floyd, Linkin Park, and Death Cab For Cutie. And several months later, I am getting an answer to my question in this post, that yes, they did play Sublime. Damn, how come I have yet to hear a Local Forecast with "Houdini" by Foster the People? I love that song! I swear, if they ever played MGMT, I would be so mad.

Okay. No they have not. No reason to freak. But they should. I suggest "Siberian Breaks". And for some reason "Indie Rokkers". Although the latter they would have to make an instrumental version of it, because I do not think many people would be happy with the lyrics of it.

And speaking of changed music, I was at Buy Buy Baby the other day....first off, before I go any further, can I just say how much I dislike baby stores? I feel like I am on a completely different planet. I really and truly can believe I have no maternal instinct every time I leave these stores. It's kind of sad. But anyway, I found these CDs of lullaby versions of different rock bands. It would have been awesome if there had been one of MGMT. I totally would have bought it.
