Open Letters Friday is a segment here at PCL for your reading and writing enjoyment. I’ll share with you some of my open letters for the week and you’ll get the opportunity in comments to share yours. Now, tell me, who do you need to write to this week?

Dear Society:

I am so sick of seeing a new “Sh*t that _________ Say” video every single day.

Here’s the thing: I never watched the first one.  I couldn’t even tell you what the first one was at this point.  It might have been an amusing cultural observation or pure crap.  I don’t know.  All I know is that I’m sick of seeing them popping up about every segment of the population ever conceived.  Here’s an idea: make a NEW type of video.

Sincerely,

Someone Who Says a Lot of Shit

Dear Taco Bell:

So I hear you’re going to be serving breakfast soon.  Unlike most people I’ve heard, I’m actually all for the idea.  I think more places need to serve breakfast.

As an avid breakfast eater, let me give you a few tips: don’t try and put vegetables in things.  The only exception to this is a breakfast burrito with very finely chopped up peppers.  Everything else should be veggie-free.  I got a bacon and egg sandwich from Tim Hortons once and it had a damn tomato slice and leaf of lettuce on it.  Ruined the whole damn thing.  Also, if you sell orange juice, don’t sell it in those tiny little cafeteria containers and charge a ridiculous price for them.  Those things should cost 50 cents…tops.  Finally, don’t be afraid to have something sweet on the menu.  People have enough options for breakfast burritos to start with…be bold.

Remember that a breakfast burrito started the chain reaction leading to The Great Cornholio.

Also–and this is key–please learn to get your orders right.  I have never gone through a Taco Bell drive thru without some sort of order mishap.

Sincerely,

A Fast Food Aficionado

Dear Pat Sajak:

Tell me you aren't curious about these two as well...just tell me that with a straight face.

This week you revealed that you and Vanna White were often drunk on the set of Wheel of Fortune.  People acted all shocked.  Frankly, I’m not surprised one bit.  I would be more surprised if you had said you did that show stone cold sober.  No offense, but you have the most ridiculous contestants.  Plus, the constant spinning of the wheel is annoying.

Although, come to think of it, I’m kind of surprised you never barfed after watching that thing go round and round while tanked.

Yours truly,

Someone Who’d Rather Know if You and Vanna Did the Deed

Dear Boots I Ordered:

Get here quickly.  Shit’s all slushy out there.

Coldly (only because my feet keep getting wet),

A Fool In Tennis Shoes

I’ll Admit, Part III

by kim on January 26, 2012 · 4 comments

in I'll Admit

…that while the people around me are able to forgive those who have wronged them, I have a much harder time of doing so.

…that I use shopping for therapy purposes and have no problem with that other than monetarily.  Sometimes buying clearance stuff at Target really does help.

One of the most beautiful things in the world.

…that as much as I hate the look of Crocs, I finally understand why people have been wearing them all this time.  It’s like a foot cradle with a soft blanket and a glass of warm milk.

…that I find it important to take sides in celebrity feuds.

…that the idea of putting lotion on my skin prior to drying off out of the shower is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.  Dry skin or not, I’m not putting lotion over water.  That’s idiotic.

…that I could watch hours of Tabatha Coffey tear people a new one and not once get bored with it.

Also, that I'm totally in love with her.

…that I am OBSESSED with Scramble With Friends.  And that I’m obsessed because I’m actually decent at it, unlike Words With Friends where I survive on a wing and a prayer.

…that taking myself out for a meal alone is one of life’s big pleasures.  I love people and dining with them, but there’s this certain freedom in a quiet meal.

…that I’d probably vote for Gabby Giffords in any election I could.  She could run for Supreme Ruler of the World and I’d be out there with campaign literature and a t-shirt gathering votes.

…that I cannot stand the following people: LeBron James, Jared from Subway, Ryan Seacrest, Matthew Morrison (the teacher from Glee) and Tim Tebow.

…that I don’t buy Zooey Deschanel’s whole pixie girl that’s clever and sings and talks in a funny voice routine and because of that am refusing to watch The New Girl even though I’ve heard it’s a good show.

…that I often wonder what Kirk Cameron’s sex life is like.

He's either really boring or really kinky and I want to know.

…that I look forward to retiring so it’s more socially acceptable for me to play bingo.

…that I could rival Tom and Donna on Parks and Recreation in Treating Myself any day of the week but that I usually forget to even treat myself kindly more times than not.

 What do you have to confess?

Character Profile: Brooklyn the Dog

January 25, 2012

Long ago when this blog started, I detailed some of the important beings in my life.  Given that it takes some time to really establish a connection and learn the ways of someone else, I usually wait a bit until doing this.  Now that we’ve had Brooklyn for over ten months, I think that time [...]

Random Thoughts: The Movie Edition

January 24, 2012

  The Academy Award nominations came out this morning.  This used to be a HUGE deal for me when I was in high school and into theatre (notice how I spelled that…re and not er at the end).  It’s still fun to watch and The Mister and I will usually try to check off as [...]

Too Big To Fail

January 23, 2012

Normally I’ll send myself e-mails when I think of something I intend to blog about the following day.  I have several e-mails in my inbox right now with random phrases reminding me of some thought I had that, at the time, I thought was important.  Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t.  What’s interesting about today’s [...]

A New Adventure

January 19, 2012

As I mentioned here the other day, I started teaching my class this week.  This is my first foray into teaching as a profession and I think I was probably the most nervous person in the room at first.  I suddenly became acutely aware of my bad jokes and the awkward pauses when no one [...]

Thoughts On the SOPA/PIPA Blackout

January 18, 2012

I am thrilled to see a group of people coming together on an issue.  This is exactly what the American process is capable of when it works at its finest:  people voicing an opinion on an issue they feel dearly about.  Without a doubt, it’s a complicated policy issue.  But don’t be fooled: passing SOPA [...]

Random Thoughts: The Professorial Edition

January 17, 2012

I taught my first class last night!  It was such a weird feeling to be the one leading the class from start to finish.  Well, there were so many weird things.  Most of the students were really young and that made me feel older than I am.  It was also like playing to a bad [...]

I’ve Been to the Mountaintop

January 16, 2012

“And we’ve got to say to the nation: We know how it’s coming out. For when people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory.” Most people look at MLK Day as another day off.  It does have a [...]
