WTF!; Lock(ed) Out; 4th; Lohan

WTF!
Lindsay and I went over to Target (a totally slummy version in the Bronx) to get some last minute things before our trip to Martha's Vineyard this weekend (all four of us are going).  Waiting in line in said Target is always a disaster - there's 12 registers open and there's always 5  people at each line - a fucking huge traffic jam.

So our line was "10 Items or Less" - which in the Bronx, means "100 Items or Less" because the people in front of us had three bags full of shit and a $100.64 total.  A big ass woman with jeggings on that really displayed her repulsive, enormous cottage cheese ass and her pimp boyfriend were the culprits.  I can give a shit because they were done ringing up their stuff before we got to the line, but what happened next is exactly why the economy gets a bad rep.

$100.64.  No big deal.  No food, however - just clothes and whatever the fuck else they had in their three bags.  $100.64.  "I got $40" says the guy to the gargantuan woman.  They proceeded to empty their wallets trying to piece together the purchase and when all was said and done, they used THREE credit cards and the $40 in the guys wallet.

I will do the math for you.  $100.64 - $40.00 = $60.64.  $60.64/3 (credit cards) = $20.21.  They only had, on average, a $20.21 available credit on each card.  ARE YOU F***** KIDDING ME!?!

Lock(ed) Out
I am just hours away from a lockout.  Owners and players cannot get along here at WRT, so a shut down is imminent.  Baseball is the only sport left that is not locked out - and hockey, but that just ended.  I know there really aren't that many people too wrapped up with the FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany.

Tonight, I'll discuss several things that people actually give a shit about, all while enjoying a nice glass of vino.

We'll look into the Google trends.  Aaaaaaand go:

nba lockout - who gives a shit?  LeBone forgot to show up for the Finals and everyone was ecstatic.  Now there's gonna be no NBA - no problem with this guy.
chris hansen - of "To Catch a Predator" fame got caught cheating on his wife with a news anchor in Florida - oh the irony.  I think he really was into the mole on her lip.
casey anthony case - I can't get enough of this shit, it's like a drug.  I began watching because Linds was watching.  I even put off showering for two hours to watch this (I did eventually shower).
gwyneth paltrow - apparently she's got some hot photos in the next issue of Vanity FairHere's the picture.

4th
I don't mess with fireworks, but I enjoy seeing them.  I took pictures last year during the fireworks extravaganza in MV but they're so boring - it's just a bunch of lights in a dark sky.  This year, I am just going to take it all in and probably take pictures of Nolan's reaction, even though he'll probably be passed out.

Lohan
Fresh off her release from house arrest, EXTRA just ran a story on television stating that Lindsay Lohan stumbled and was drunk coming out of the club.  Some people are so stupid - she wants people to feel bad for her?  You're a rich alcoholic (I think you're rich) - ridiculous.

OK, time to pack a little bit and try to cool off.  This apartment is so hot and humid - I figure being in the corner apartment would trap some wind on the 10th floor - apparently not.

Truly yours, sweltering.
