People, my bathroom is so BEE-YOO-TIFUL!.... The floor and moulding are all done, and all it lacks now are the light switch plates, mirror, a bit of touch up paint, and it'll be done. The kitchen is likewise almost done. (the first floor they laid was crooked and had to be redone. OOPS.)
And, I have heat! Of course it was 76 frakkin degrees here today and I don't need it anymore, but that's the way it goes. Now that I have a furnace again, we won't have cold air or rain again, I'm sure.
*sigh* elections. God. Y'all who don't live here are lucky. Millions and millions of dollars being spent by (a) Four Wealthy Casino-Resort Owning Tribes vs (b) Vegas Casinos for the most annoying t.v. adverts on the face of the planet. And this is just for the February primary. We haven't even gotten to the November stuff yet. I HATE political ads with a flaming passion. All of them. But especially Proposition ones (which for those lucky enough to live somewhere else, I'll explain that they are a type of direct voting on particular laws by the public, which sounds really great in theory. In practice, they generally are poorly written, overthrown by federal courts somewhere, or just stupid overreactions to the Cause of the day, or all the above.) But the thing I hate the most about them are the ads.
So, because I'm bored and I have new people around, I present Political Parody.
PROPOSITION 145: ICE CREAM FOR EVERYONE!
Vote for ice cream. Everyone loves ice cream! Little children love ice cream.
Vote NO on ice cream. Ice cream is full of fat and sugar and only pretends to be healthy. Keep ice cream away from children, or they'll get all obese and won't play outside in the sun like they should.
Do YOU know who's bankrolling the Anti-Ice Cream campaign? (shot of old fat white men smoking cigarettes in some board room some place) Yes. The politicians in Sacramento. Or maybe it's ExxonMobil. Somebody ee-vil is paying to keep ice cream away from YOUR children.
Ice cream could have eggs or milk or peanuts in it -- it THREATENS Californians. Worse, it's expensive. Ice cream - it's bad for children. It's bad for California.
etc.
And if you think I'm kidding -- the ads are like this, every single time, no matter what the issue is.

Those ads also always have that same slightly creepy voiceover, too, seems like.
