Random Tuesday Morning Pictures

I walked around the house with my camera this morning, trying to think of something to use for today’s photo a day challenge that wasn’t a cat or a guitar. I ended up with mostly photos of cats and guitars.

My Pet Peeves

Name your top three pet peeves.

Daily writing prompt

Just three pet peeves? I hope I can narrow it down, there are so many.

  • Fascists, fascist sympathizers, fascist collaborators. You know, anyone who is even the slightest degree of pro-nazi. Disgusting. Un-American. Just plain evil. They are my number one pet peeve.
  • People who turn a blind eye to abuse. I’m thinking specifically of the sex abuse scandal in the Boston archdiocese story that broke about 20 years ago. Catholic priests were raping children and when they were caught by their superiors they were not thrown in jail to rot for their evil crimes. Instead, they were reassigned to new towns so that they could rape a fresh batch of kids. After fascism, that is pretty much the most evil thing that I have ever heard of. I’m sitting here getting royally pissed off just thinking about it.
  • People who pronounce nuclear, “nucular”. The sound of it makes my skin crawl. I mean, nu-clear. It’s not a hard word to work out. Say it right or shut the fuck up. Damn.

There. Those are pretty much my top three pet peeves. I wonder, did I catch the spirit of today’s question? I think so.

Time to Panic

The Bruins lost two games over the weekend, including getting trounced by the Rangers on Saturday. Right now they are losing 3-0 to Columbus. I mean… Columbus.

Sure, they have the second best record in the NHL, but to lose the way they did and then to be down three to a meh team like Columbus?

Is it time for the epically pessimistic Boston sports fan in me to start panicking?

I think it might be!

Oh no!
