Quotation of a Lifetime:

"You know as well as I do that, where [batshit crazy family member] is concerned, [normal family member] is always walking a fine line between polite standoffishness and homocide."
— from a blog that, for obvious reasons, shall remain nameless, but could very well have been my own. I have one or two or several dozen relatives I feel that way about, myself.

I am writing today because I write every day. I'm posting today because I have time to do so. I have time to do so because of everyone who went before me to make my nation safe and free so I could have the day off from work.

Yes, I do think about these things.

No, I don't have anything pertinent or even enjoyable to post. Just be happy you got the day off.

Unless you didn't, in which case, I do, indeed, apologize to you for throwing the cold water of a crappy entry onto your hope for something interesting to break up your work day.

Try the previous entry, where, for a relieving change, it's not All About Me.

Charles Nelson Reilly has died. It's sort of astonishing, how scared I was of him on Lidsville and how much I adored him, at the same time, on Match Game.

So has everyone seen that LG SteamFresh washer commercial?

The one with the sweaty lady in the blue dress sprinting across midtown, riding on cramped public transportation, then dashing through the park, to get home, put her blue dress into the LG SteamFresh, pulling it out some unnamed television interval thereafter, putting it back on, and going out with a guy in a white dinner jacket?

It just begs so many questions.

• If she had time to take off the dress, run it through the SteamFresh, and presumably shower (or at least take a washcloth to the sweatiest bits and give her teeth a quick brush), why didn't she have time to, I don't know, put on something that was already clean?
• If she was so desperate to wear that dress, couldn't she have bought a less expensive washing machine and used the difference in price to buy more clothing, something, perhaps, more work-oriented for the office, so that she could change into the blue dress for dinner?
• Why didn't she just freshen up at work and meet him at the restaurant? Especially assuming, you know, that the whole point of having a dress that cute is that it's supposed to convert easily from day to evening wear when one doesn't have time to stop home first.
• What kind of guy is so inconsiderate he didn't let her know in advance they would be going out to dinner so she could wear something else to work that day and then be able to change into the blue dress (cool, clean, and hung up in her closet) as soon as she got home?
• And didn't he realize how goofy he looked in that white dinner jacket? Or was he going to be her waiter that evening, as opposed to her date?

All told, I'm more confused than ever. Explain to me again why I need an LG with a SteamFresh cycle.
