Stupid Manufacturers

[annuin]

Yesterday I went to the grocery store. They had their Halloween candy out already.


IT'S EARLY AUGUST.


I really hate how manufacturers and stores here put out holiday stuff so far in advance nowadays. It completely ruins my enjoyment by sheer overkill, by the time the holiday rolls around, I'm completely sick of all the decorations and peripheral marketing crap.

I don't want to see Halloween stuff in early August when it's close to 100F. Nor do I want to see Christmas crap before Halloween has actually come and gone, which will inevitably happen.

Amen! It's especially hard to stomach the Halloween and Christmas decor here in the sweltering south when we're still another 3 hellish months away from weather that could even begin to be described as human.

When you're pouring sweat in 95 degree heat with 100% humidity, the last thing you want to see is fucking penguins in scarves and ear muffs!

LOVE your user icon by the way. I was quoting Viv today at work, and everyone just kept staring at me like I was nuts.

I found it in badtattoos_4 and had to steal it.

That community has huge entertainment potential with all the shitty tattoos people have tormented their skin with.

Dear god! Some of those were cringe-inducing. It's almost enough to make me never want to let a tattooist near me again.

It definitely teaches you to do your homework before choosing an artist, that's for damn sure. Not that I needed that reinforced anyway, I've seen too many people with what I consider mediocre tattoos to just choose an artist lightly. But then the idea of a crappy tattoo on me forever is just horrifying to me, I don't understand that other people don't consider this when giving into the desire to get a tattoo.

That said, I've noticed that what some people find a good tattoo or piece of art doesn't necessarily coincide with what I find good. I just have exceptionally high standards in that regard I think.

Oh, and become a member of the community if you want to see many many more crappy tattoos.

A few pages back there's a really horrifying one that's based on The Crow. Ye gods, the horror I suffered looking at that thing. I'll see if I can give you the image links. It's on some trashy tramp who tattoos other people in her kitchen.

And yes, with super hot weather, your mood really isn't into fall and winter holidays.

I don't even want to think about what the heat index was today. I can't wait until I have a car with a/c! Woo hoo!
