Nothing like getting your taxes done on freaking April Fool's Day, right!?!? Fuck. Not only that, but I have to get up at, like 7 a.m. (yeah, yeah, yeah, I know -- cry me a river. But you don't underSTAAAAAAAAANNNND ...) to drive ALL the way down to Fair Oaks, which is just south of Deliverance Country, or where I spent last Friday, to have them done. Not only THAT, but I have to take MOTHER with me, and she will no doubt be awake and rarin' to bitch about all the crap I have in my backseat. At 7 in the morning. Let the tears commence. My accountant's fabulously excellent, though; I met her and her husband when I covered a gun show they held, like, going on five years ago (they host guns shows on the side), and they liked the story I wrote about them. Allegedly, that story still hangs in some gun shops in Lake, Porter, and Jasper Counties, and how many people do you know that can say that, huh!?!? That's what I thought.
Speaking of covering good stuff, can I just tell you again that JB is a rotten bastard and I hope he has a hangover every freakin' day as he and his girlfriend are boozin' it up in DUBLIN THIS WEEK!?!?!? (Yeah, that would be Ireland, not Ohio.)
See, he's one of our star reporters, and he now covers a beat I used to cover when he wasn't there. So, in his absence, I of course am sent back in because I know the players and so on and so forth. Well, today, I cover a Board of Works meeting for him, and instead of it being a 10 minute meeting like it usually is, there was intrigue! and possible corruption! and all kinds of nasty stuff that people like to get into, only I don't get to because it's not my beat anymore, and I'm not a staffer. Boooooooo! Also, he stuck me with my least favorite portion of the beat EVER, so a pox on him. (Actually, I love JB very much, and I just like to blow him shit. He used Luca Brasi in a LEDE, fer chrissakes! What's not to love!?!?!)
Oh, and
this was on
Gawker today -- a rebuttal to this dude who wrote this article about how he's a free-lancing house-husband and can't keep his wife interested in sex. Heh. Pussy ...
Oh, whatEVER.
