A Few Things The World Does Not Need



-Glazed Donuts. I know most of us may once in awhile succumb to the Pink Box of Doom of it is there and we are bored and at least mildly hungry. That doesn't make glazed donuts okay. Deep fried dough covered in sugar....seriously? If anyone can speak to the power of the sweet tooth, it is me, the amazing Ms. Starburst Inhaler. Still, the doughy type of glazed donuts don't satisfy my sweet tooth, they make me excruciatingly thirsty and gag me with pure sugar clumps in my throat. And they definitely don't do anything to assist my ravenous, late morning, empty, post-coffee stomach. MAYBE I have enjoyed me an occasional cake style donut here and there (though I am sure they and muffins are equally bad for me) but I am just going to have to say that the glazed type donuts don't get the same resentful acceptance from me.

- Glow in the dark dogs. Apparently scientists in South Korea have been cloning glow-in-the dark beagles. Yes, doggies that glow under ultraviolet light. Maybe I am lacking some important type of creativity but I can't imagine any alternate universe where this technology would be at all useful. I am considering just throwing cloning all together into this category all together, since variety is supposed to be 'the spice of life'.

-General Motors.

-Starbucks in the grocery store....there is already a stand alone Starbucks in the same shopping center and on every corner. Plus their coffee sucks.

-All the food featured in ThisIsWhyYoureFat.com. And Meat Cakes. Despite my not eating and being typically turned off by meat, the morbid weirdo in me still loves to look at that meat cake. Fascinating and disturbing - so amusing....sorta like a Rob Zombie movie.


-Decoy School Bus Police Stings. A police sting in South Pasadena gave 160 drivers $500 tickets for not stopping for the decoy school bus with flashing red lights on a very busy street. So, it's not enough I get mild anxiety every time I see a CHP car or motorcycle? Now I have to have a mild-moderate freak out when I see a school bus? SO LAME!

Ladies and Gentleman: WE HAVE A PANDEMIC!!


According the the World Health Organization, we now *officially* have a Swine Flu (by the way, I thought the media was not allowed to call it that? haha) Pandemic! I totally thought the Swine Flu drama had dissipated.


Commence media frenzy.......NOW!


Sort of relieved to hear it's back as I have not heard a peep or tweet about it for weeks! Apparently 30,000 people worldwide have the Swine Flu and 144 people have died thus far. People sick and dying is probably not amusing. However, do gotta love the irony in the fact that 175 people (in the United States alone) die each day from the (non-Swine) flu and resulting complications and we freak out about this particular strain.

Just When You Forgot About the Movie 'Final Destination'...

An Italian woman who missed the doomed Air France flight that straight-up disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean near Brazil is reported dead after a head-on collision in Europe just 10 days later.

On a less morbid note, I promise I will update my blog with more than one sentence soon!

Q: When Should I Watch The Movie Revolutionary Road?


A: When you feel like sealing the deal on complete hopelessness in life and love. Sooo, yeah, have fun with that.
