my father=scary conservative; 13 going on 30

My copy of "Outfoxed" arrived in the mail today, so I snagged the TV from my father and popped it in. He was pretty much forced to watch it because of the back thing. So the whole time he's complaining about how they're coming down on Fox and that's not right. That Fox is a Conservative news station and what's wrong with that. I tell him that it's fine that Fox is a Conservative station, but they should not say that they're "fair and balanced." He thn points out that ABC and New York Times are clearly liberal media, and why isn't that a problem? Uhm, because they don't say they're FAIR AND BALANCED?! I mean, yes, it's a problem, but Fox is propaganda machine. It's sickening. Apparently he doesn't think so. In fact, he thinks it's okay and that I am being brainwashed by the liberal media. Because, you know, he is completely knowledgable about all sides of the news.

( Here are some choice quotes from the evening: )

In other news, mom and I watched 13 Going on 30. So. Cute. I love Jen :) Even if she and Vartan did break up and now she's possibly dating Affleck. Ugh. Anyway. 13 Going on 30 = big yay! Mark Ruffalo, Andy Serkis.. big love. Right. Babbling. Will stop.

LotR exhibit in Boston!

eibhinn had mentioned this before, and I didn't really want to go at the time. But I thought about it. and I want to go to the Boston Museum of Science!! The LotR exhibit sounds fantastic and much more extensive than the one that was at Te Papa, which I didn't really get to see. i don't know if I can get my mom to go with me... anyone on my flist want to take a road trip? The exhibit is open until October 24. *begs*

*hrms* No camera or bags or phones. Lovely. Maybe I bring a notebook *g*

the Daily Show

Everyone should watch...

Jon Stewart asks Republican Congressman Harry Bonilla to name names.

Such a great interview that goes to show that even though the Daily Show is comedy? You'd better know what you're talking about becuase Jon sure as hell does.

There's an interview with Will Ferrell that's also amusing. 'Cause Jon Stewart's also a goofball. Yay!

would you like a fork in the eye with that?

Dear Father,

You're still an asshole. I have no respect for you and you surely don't deserve any. When we're eating, trying to angle a way to bring how much money you make into the conversation is a fucked up thing to do. My mother hasn't had the chance to get the water meter reading from the duplex - hey, you can use the phone, too, you know. Making a snarky comment about how she uses all your money? Not only is that completely untrue, it's vile and immature behavior. I'm sorry that you're such a sad, pathetic little man.

Don't expect me to be helping you out, ever. What I said was true. If something were to happen to you where you'd require constant supervision or assistance, it would take some long, hard thinking on my part before I would even entertain the idea of helping you. Your mere voice and presence makes me violent.

It's not just that you're a Class A jerk, oh no. You claim complete innocence. After my mom storms away from the table and I am clearly pissy, you have the gall to ask what we were so upset about and is it wrong to bring up money. No, it's not wrong. It's not wrong to have a rational discussion. It is, however, completely wrong to blame everyone but yourself. When your son is visibly uncomfortable and your daughter loudly says she wants to stab herself in the eye and claims all blame for your money being spent just so you will shut the hell up, that is wrong. Why you cannot see that is clearly some kind of mental retardation on your part.

To sum up: I still hate you. I hope you die. Slowly and painfully.

Much hate,

Me

P.S. Since you're still having that back problem, I'd be a bit more careful who you piss off, if I were you. Wouldn't want to find yourself in desperate need of assistance and discover everyone is too disgusted to help you.

[edit: I forgot to mention one thing. You do not work 100 hours a week. I'd be amazed if you worked over 40. Yeah, okay, you have double-shifts, but how many times a week? You have Friday-Monday off, so where exactly are you fitting these 100 hours? Hmmm?]

aww.. edward. with Angie!
