What You're Missing

The backlash to the media coverage of Charlie Sheen's public descent into madness has begun. See, for example, this Yahoo news story, stating that some professionals feel that because Sheen has clearly had clearly "suffered some sort of mental disturbance," "it's unseemly for news professionals to keep using his outbursts to feed the 24/7 news cycles."  

I never watch Two and a Half Men.  Let me rephrase -- I watched a rerun episode once several months ago to see what it was about.  I recently described the show on Twitter to a friend who asked what the premise was:  "I think the premise is Ducky from Pretty in Pink lives with his mildly retarded son and perv addict brother played by Charlie Sheen.  Misogyny ensues."

Allow me to be the first first to lash back at the backlash to the media coverage.  Yes, its clear the man has issues.  He's probably gonna die of an overdose of some kind, sooner rather than later.  That's sad.  But its not tragic on the scale of what else is going on in the world.  Let the man rant.  BOOM. Winning.

And now, what you're missing... an occasional feature in which I round up of some of my recent Twitter posts.

  • My last full week as a stay at home mommy. I has a sad.
  • I like singing made up songs to my daughter, usually based on songs that exist. Today, I sang "Cranky Baby" to the tune of Hallelujah Chorus
  • Clownfish's new television obsession? Tom and Jerry cartoons. Yeah. I can live with that.
  • Thanks to the internet, I now know how to reassemble the breast pump I bought seven years ago.
  • Discovered the *real* purpose of swaddling a baby: keeps her from knocking the pacifier out of her mouth a dozen times before her nap.
  • After ten months or so of no appetite, i now i feel like i am *always* hungry. Like minutes after I eat, a voice says *must NOM NOW*
  • Finally sat down and listened to Cee Lo Green's Fuck You, not the radio friendly Forget You version. Cannot get it out of my head!
  • Parent win of the day: My six year old can finish the line "Hello, my name is Indigo Montoya...

1 little fish:

  1. Argh! I swear it took me MONTHS to get Cee Lo out of my head. A said the boson's first words were going to be "If I was richer, I'd still be with ya".

    Enjoy this week!
