Sigh... It's been a long week or two. I've been going a few
rounds with the universe it seems. Cannot seem to get the right people to take
my kid's education seriously no matter how politely I yell, um errr, explain
things. Found out that human beings are annoyingly human and therefore will not
always do the right thing. Or even the grown up thing. The very idea of women
as being equals seems to be appallingly more rare these days. The construction
on 17 is back in full swing and right outside my house. (Today's flavor of
chaos? Some damn piece of construction equipment that beeped. LOUDLY. For four
hours straight. Starting at 6:30 am) It's getting too warm for my comfort level
and Feisty Pants has declared war on clothing. Especially pants. She even has
own protest chant to shout at the man."No go? No clothes!!!!"
So, I will fall back on one of my favorite ways of
coping. Today's answer to chaos? Various pieces of internet awesomeness that
make the world seem nicer somehow. I thought for today's post I would share
some links for those times when you need your own pep talk. I suggest you mix
these liberally with good chocolate and cups of your favorite tea. And repeat
until you longer want to bang your head on your computer desk. You probably
already know them, but if you don't, run don't walk.
Epic Rap Battles of History- Literate, smart and
profanely funny. (Seriously, NSFW, unless your workplace is very casual with
swearing. ) They go from quoting Dickens to drop an f-bomb like a race car
going from 0 to 60. Still, they are funny and addictive. You will be sending
these to your grown up friends.
Sassy Gay Friend- Incredibly sweet and wickedly funny.
(The Othello one is a personal fave.) Some language, but not too r rated more
pg-13. " The world would be a better place if everyone had a sassy gay
friend"
Texts from Dog- Simple tumblr of someone receiving texts
from their dog. Laugh out loud funny. Put the tea down before reading or you
will be cleaning your monitor.
Kid President- this kid is awesome. Rated g. Sweet and
funny. Wise and witty.
So, there you go. I feel better just listing what makes me
laugh. Hope these make you day brighter too. If they don't, you can always
refuse to wear pants and stage a protest with Feisty Pants. "No go? No clothes!
No go? No clothes! No go? No clothes!"
