Tea party and a Deadite

15. April 2009 by Bex.

My day was full of snot.  Allergies, allergies, allergies.  I think trees hate me.  I would be a mortal enemy to an Ent.

I started my day by taking Sadie to the vet.  She has been yelping a lot, when no one is near her.  I thought it was her chipped tooth but the vet couldn’t find anything wrong with her.  I think it is her poor ear.  It’s full of nasty goop from her own prolific allergies.  I got in a good five hours of work today so that’s better than nothing.

Speaking of not being able to get in a full 8 hours, I was called by my allergist because they are wondering where the hell I am.  Isn’t that nice of them?  Due to a miscommunication, I wasn’t able to make an appointment.  If I wasn’t so miserable I wouldn’t go in there.  I feel like I have enough goddamn doctor appointments to go to.  If you have tree allergies, don’t move here.  Back home we don’t have trees.  Trees are evil.  Tomorrow there will be more needle pokes, more sneezing, more misery.

Ron and I did go to the Tea Party today though.  I managed to stand outside and people watch for about a half an hour before I got too sneezy.  There were some good points made by the speakers about the various stimulus packages passed by our benevolent leaders.  There were all kinds of people there but mostly white people.  Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, etc.  I mostly read signs that people made.  I was wondering how African-Americans are dealing with the new president.  If you are black and you oppose some major issues that Obama is pushing, are you considered against your own race by others?  It seems like if one is against the tax hikes initiated by Obama, people are automatically considered “conservative” and “right wing.”  But during the election, anyone voting for Obama was “far left.”  Wtf?  I hate both sides.  I can’t stand either party.  It doesn’t matter how good a person’s intentions are when he/she is running for President.  There are too many corrupt people around them, pushing and lobbying for their own interests.  How can anyone stay true to their convictions?

Here are some photos from the grounds of Liberty Memorial/National WWI Museum:

I am glad to be home.  I had to end my day by trying a new photograph technique: Holga-ing images.  There is a group on Flickr all about it.  It’s kind of a retro kind of image: http://www.flickr.com/groups/gameon/discuss/72157616667551196/ .  I couldn’t think of anything I’ve shot today that would work well with this technique so I posed some of my Army of Darkness figures that I got for Christmas.

That’s all for now folks.  Time for some good drugs and some relaxation.  Tschus.
