No particular subject

After work yesterday Ali stopped and picked up Buttons remains.  They are in a heart shaped box, identical to the box we have Maggie’s ashes in.  I took a moment last night and opened the box to look, something I never did with Maggie’s box.  It instantly made me very sad, I closed it up a few seconds later.  I doubt I will ever open it again.

I finally received the replacement for the Littermaid litter box yesterday.  I put it together last night and put it in place.  They actually sent us one model level above what we had.  The new box has a LED clock on it that can be used to have the box not run at night because of the noise. The motor on this unit seems quieter than the old one.  With just one cat using the box I think we will have less issues with it this time around.

Last night we watched American Idol and the Dancing with the Stars finale.  It was too much for one night.  Even though we basically have abandoned American Idol we decided to watch the final performance show.  The show started off as stupid as you can imagine with Michael Buffer doing his “let’s get ready to rumble…” schtick while the final two came out in boxing robes.  It was so f’ing asinine.

 I just can’t stand the young kid.  He is so “oh gosh, golly gee willickers…” it makes me sick. I laughed out loud when during his second song he was wearing his “big boy” outfit with big anchors all over it, yes, anchors.  He obviously has lead a very sheltered life.  He will probably turn out to be a male version of Britney Spears, snorting coke off the ass of hookers by the time he hits 21.  The judges heaped praise upon him last night and indicated they thought he was the clear winner.  I hope David Cook wins although I really don’t care.  I doubt we will watch the show at all next year.

Kristi Yamaguchi won DWTS.  She was the best dancer for sure but I don’t know how deserving of the win she was.  She had the cards stacked way in her favor from the get go.  Figure skating is dancing on ice, she already had all the tools, she just had to modify them a bit.  Ali said she was sad it wouldn’t be on for 4 months, she enjoys it that much.  At first I asked her if she was joking, just saying that because she knew I was relieved about it.  Nope, she genuinely misses it.

Our reality tv schedule will be much lighter now, good.

This post from one year ago is funny, the movie part…
