Furniture people are going to die bloody. They just delivered my television armoire. The one at the store had handles on the front of the door and decorative plates on the inside for when you opened the doors and pushed them back to watch television.

Mine had the knobs on the inside and the decorative plates on the OUTSIDE. I had to gently pry open the doors and unscrew the knobs only to discover the decorative plates required an EXTRA FUCKING HOLE WHICH IS NOW DRILLED INTO THE FRONT OF THE DOORS.

Grrrrrrrrrr.

Well, I just know that in the 1980s, when I was grooving out to "Hungry like the Wolf," the Beatles were "oldies," and those songs were about 20 years old.

"Hungry Like the Wolf"? Now about 20 years old.

I am too young to have oldies, damn it!

It means that you are old. Old and decrepit. Cranky about the crunk.

I am. I SO am.

And since we're getting curmudgeonly...

More people who need to be painfully killed?

People who try to fit their entire email into the subject line. Seriously, if your subject is more than five words, time to move it to the body of the damned email.

Oh, Hec, We watched "Shotgun Freeway" yesterday and liked it a lot. I learned so much about LA. Thanks for the rec.

Are you sure they didn't just put the doors on backward? Might it be fixable?

Joining the 'not OLD' dammit brigade.

I listened to a 'classic' rock station for a while until
a) I got sick of hearing Bad to the Bone every. frelling. half-hour.
b) Motley Crue ended up on the play list.

God help me. Mine is a wasted life highlighted in a pop song.

Although I never aspired to getting a hand on a member of Duran Duran. thankyouverymuch.

Steph, thank you SO VERY FUCKING MUCH for that earworm. Seriously.

Also, what should we call the phenomenon of seeing the video for said earwormed song in your mind's eye? Mindwormed? Because all available circuits are now taken up with Brits in 80s hair jetskiing around a random island. Unless that's not the right video. In which case I've gone insane. Again.

WHY WHY WHY was there a need for an "Always" (yes, by Atlantic Starr) remix??

"You remember that? I read about it in school."

There are people who are now married with children who weren't even born when that happened. Probably lots of them. Actually, at least a couple of people in my childbirth class fall into that category.

For some reason, I find that as depressing as people born in 1984 now being of drinking age, and I'm kind of irrationally depressed about the latter.

Are you sure they didn't just put the doors on backward? Might it be fixable?

Nope. I checked. There are additional screws that show on the inside of the doors. Feh. Left voicemail on the repair/service department. Fuckers.
