Punching pillows, throwing things off the walls

HOORAY!

We are finally free from the non-stop 24 hour on multiple channels demonic oppression otherwise known as the Olympics. Bye-fucking-bye and thank God we don't have to see you for another four years. Peace out and don't let the door hit your ass, Olympics.

So of course I watched AGT this evening in celebration of finally being able to see NBC programming that wasn't related to sports. After the show went off, I was in the kitchen loading the dishwasher and listening to this DNC coverage. First off, pretty much every time I look at the screen, Bill Clinton's face is on it. Like the whole point of this event is to have a constant Clinton cam. Obama who? We need to look at BC's face some more. Secondly, Tom Brokaw made a crazy-ass comment about the Clintons will go home tonight and punch pillows and throw things off the wall. I laughed. I'm sure they really appreciate a comment like that.

Ambien has been running those Silence Your Rooster commericals every 5 seconds. I guess after a certain hour of the night, they start trying to remind people that sleep needs to occur. The commercial I cannot fucking stand right now is that Wendy's ad about the "meatatarian." If you've seen it, you know how annoying it is. If not, I will describe it to you. A man and woman are eating lunch at Wendy's. The woman is eating a salad and the man is having a bacon cheeseburger with fries. The woman asks if the dude wants a bite of the salad and he says he's a meatatarian. She looks at him like the fucktard he is and he explains that he only eats meat. Fin. Ok so what I wish she would say to this moron is, "Really? Well then why are you eating the bun, the cheese and the french fries, which are made from potatoes? Shut the fuck up, you idiot." Every morning when I am getting ready for work, this commercial comes on and it never ceases to irritate me.

Lord, I am tired. And it is only Tuesday. Sigh. At least Monday is Labor Day. It totally snuck up on me this year. Normally, I have a countdown on at least 2 weeks beforehand but not this year. I had no clue until someone told me this past weekend that it was coming up so soon. I have been so busy that I just did not realize. I feel like it needs to be a day, if at all possible, of tremendous, hibernation-like sleep. Like this, basically:
