T.G.I.F.

More blue ...



We had a discussion today, at work — where I spent 10 hours, which was approximately 4 hours too much time to have yer ass in a chair while you are staring at a computer screen (and yet: here I sit, again!) — about “fairness.” About which I stated, as I have many times before: Life is not fair.

And anyway: Where do people get the idea that life is fair?

“Your parents don’t teach you that life is fair,” I told my friend Ginger, who wondered if the girls whose teams are competing against mine in The Amazing Race thought that it wasn’t fair that my team had won, last time. “I mean, think about it: Your brother got to do all kinds of things that you didn’t get to do, simply because he’s older and he’s a boy.”

“That’s true,” Ginger said. “Just like I got away with certain things because I’m a girl.”

“And the baby!”

“Yeah!”

On a different tangent: I am rewatching Soldier’s Girl. Such a beautiful film. Beautiful, beautiful love story.

Rained today, just like The Weather Channel said it would.
