Today on Annoyance Allowance
In terms of smug, bourgeois and ultimately pointless problems, I think I really hit the ball out of the park with this entry. But jeez, isn't that what Annoyance Allowance is all about? Right, Ang? Fax me our mission statement when you get a chance.
Yes. Annoyance Allowance. The stockpiling of all our most trivial concerns. Indeed, I had to take down an AA post last week or so about how annoyed I was that Dateline was running a super depressing two-hour long special on Bulgarian mental institutions or something on a FRIDAY night. Someone commented that I "should go back to my toons" if I couldn't deal with/lend a hand to help solve the horrors of this life, which I wholeheartedly agree with...and agreed with. And plan to agree with in the future. Not even going to point out that I don't even like cartoons. Except for the occasional Family Guy or Simpsons. And I mean occasional with a capital "O" and a cocked eyebrow. So I took it down. And e-mailed an apology because it really did make me feel like a douchebag with a capital "D" and a capital "B." And totally straightforward, un-ironic eyebrows.
But, I mean seriously, how would one go about fixing the Bulgarian mental institution crisis? I can't even find my fucking cat.
In other news, I finally found the e-card that sums up my entire existence:

As it turns out, one of the peeps who won an award this year alongside my sister does work to improve the situation in Bulgarian mental institutions.

Jayzu, that is incredible. I am beyond impressed. My perspective is changing, ANP. My perspective is changing.
BTW - I nominated your sister for an award given by one of my clients...don't tell her, or get too excited as if it did happen it wouldn't be for months and months, but just wanted to let you know, if I haven't already.
