Upgrading

Woo hoo I got a brand new computer and it's super duper fast! Boy am I stoked about that. We've been needing a new one for years. Of course, what's the first thing I did after getting online and seeing my blog and shop are there? (Like, where were they gonna go anyway, but I had to be sure!) I transfered all my games over and wow are they performing fantastically! (I'm a gamer, yeah I know)
All is well in Susiestheboss land. Just working, entertaining my ony child, and staying cool. Not much news except for this! Have you ever noticed how disgusting an old keyboard gets? I am so happy to get this new one which doesnt have tons of dust and junk in all the cracks. I am just making the rounds of all my sites and stuff, making sure they're all super fast, and yes, they are!
Hurray!
I love my new computer.
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer!

So what year, when, are we all going to give up fireworks? Yeah, yeah, I hear ya, "but they're so pretty!" I hate em. They are expensive, they are loud, they pollute the air. I find it ridiculous that people will mass in thousands, wait for hours for 10 minutes of pyrotechnical display, but still I managed to get dragged along by non-enlightened family members. (Ok, by LR, who wanted to run around with her pals, sans parents, all night on the football field.) In our town, because of traffic considerations, we stink up the county one night early by having our display on the 3rd.
We had a pretty full moon on the 4th as well. LR and I drove to a really high spot in the hills and found our place to watch the fireworks display from afar because there was no way I was driving 15 miles one way to pay $5. a head, and wedge myself into the local fairgrounds to see these 10 minutes of light.
So we watched most of it, the puffs of quarter sized light on the horizon from two larger towns east of us. Whatevah! Look at the sky, 20 miles of grey thick smoke floated over the plains. Disgusting. Then traffic jams that rival Los Angeles just to get home from that event. Figure it takes about 7-8 hours to prepare for 10 minutes of fireworks display, once you include planning, packing, driving, walking, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, then 10 minutes, then about an hour or more to get out of the fairgrounds parking lots, then get home.
This is just two towns. Think about the entire country spewing all that smoke for one night a year. No wait! Think about the entire country NOT spewing all that smoke for one night a year. Now that's what I'm talking about.
Now this is California, where we care about our air, supposedly. If we really did, fireworks would become illegal forever.
Now what could we use to replace fireworks while still keeping with 4th of July picnics, comeraderie and etc? I suggest shooting wieners from air guns at each other at 10 paces. Hot dogs are disgusting anyway. Or how about just hanging out with everyone that you love, having the bbq, the sack races, the watermelon eating contests and what have you. Then when it becomes dark, just play charades or something.
I just don't like fireworks, except for maybe these really cool graffiti art paintings of fireworks by Ivesone, a street artist from Amsterdam. Please go check out his blog which is full of his bright and imaginative art.

Have a lovely day!

Happy Fourth O' July



Couldnt find a super good sounding version of this song. But I love John Doe and X, and well, here ya go. You're not really reading this anyway. That's the cool thing about having a blog that noone reads. You can type whatever you want like, Tony has smelly feet, and noone would see it. Or you could say bad things about Gman, like, contrary to what you may have heard, he makes terrible BBQ! You could even talk about what Lime was really doing when she smashed her van...

You're not reading this anyway, so it doesnt matter.

Have a nice day! Don't go gettin' all burnt now!

Happy Father's Day



It's his fault, he wrote it. Happy Father's Day!

Daddys Girl
by Mark Leslie
She has her Daddy’s eyes
In a jar up in her room
It took a while to dig them up
Because she’d used a spoon
She has her Daddy’s hair
And with it his whole scalp
She hacked it off with a dull steak knife
But knew a sharper one might help
She has the rest of her Daddy’s parts

Stored in an air-tight drum
She fancies herself a Daddy’s girl
But she looks more like her Mum.
