'Charles Manson?' 'No, it's your grandson'

Oh butt. Hermia's latest entry just reminded me that I forgot to go to that Target party, Man. I forget everything,

I am right now recording the CBS "Helter Skelter" off the DVR to free up 3 big hours of room. First off, was this presented with no commercials? Because that would be crazy. Oh! There goes one now. Anyway, I guess you really have to be in the mood for creepiness and brutality, because I am clearly not. I am working, and so not paying attention, but every time I look up, I feel sick.

I hate Charles Manson and all of his people, Always have, always will. It scares me that I have to even note that, but enough people feel differently that I do, I am obsessed with how ridiculous that is. I am disgusted by the idea that we are supposed to feel sorry for people who were in his "family" and free them. Why? If you were so susceptible to him, who's to say you wouldn't walk right into another psycho who would have you do his or her bidding? Please.

Also, I hate when people like Charles Manson, as if he is awesome. Ugh. It makes me throw up. Charles Manson? What kind of hero is that. Paul Kersey, now that's a hero. Anyway, yes. I have read the book, and seen the first TV movie and watched the parole hearings, which is what made the hate come to start with. I'd like to watch this movie sometime because I'm sure it will just make me hate him and his people more (the first scene went a long ways that way right away) and make me want them to never get out of jail ever.

And that is why I am your law and order candidate. Mostly order.

Wow, it's raining a lot. A good part of taping "Helter Skelter" now is that I don't have to jump every time they do the "do dooo doooooo!" onscreen "news" break-in to tell me it's raining. Thanks for the warning. Man, you'd think it was the Mojave Desert or something. Who is this bulletin for, anyway? We're in NYC, idiots. It rains. A lot. Duh. Also, we're in NYC, and some of us are crazy enough that any "doo doooo doooooo!" makes us jump straight out of our skin. I bet it is all a part of the panic tactics the Man is using to keep us down. I might be the law and order candidate, but I'm no fool/.
