Seven Red

As if everything else encountered on this here Seven Red wasn’t utterly banal, I hereby inaugurate the Evil of Banality series, in which I list a bunch of everyday life observations in bullet point and in no particular order, just because.

• I’m so sick of friggin’ Diego I could puke. And what the fuck is up with Lazy Town?
• It really sucks when you live on the third floor and the bag of cat litter you’re bringing upstairs springs a leak on the first floor, and you don’t notice.
• My bag o’ change grew giant enough for me to cash in at the local Coinstar. My guess looking at the bag? $100. Actual figure? $103. I gotta enter one of those jellybeans in a jar contests. (This point could also be included in my soon-to-be-announced “How Fucking Awesome Am I?” series.)
• The Christmas tree we bought was so shiny and new that it hardly left a needle on the floor as we brought it into the apartment. Then again, I later tracked three and a half pounds of cat litter across the whole goddamn building, so I guess everything evens out, right?
• When stringing lights on a Christmas tree, do the following: 1) Make sure the lights work before you string them, and 2) make sure the end that you’re planning to plug in actually has a plug. It will save you restringing the whole damn thing, as I learned from bitter experience.
• In True Romance, when Christopher Walken’s character is torturing Dennis Hopper’s character, he says “This is as good as it’s gonna get, and it’s never gonna get this good again.” The second part actually does add information, and is not mere tautology. Just sayin’.
• I upgraded to WordPress 2.7 Release Candidate 1. How exciting is that? You’re meant to answer. No, really. Answer.

There you have it, Readers: the Evil of Banality, volume 1. Enjoy!
