There’s nothing real about reality TV.

Mamacita says: the weekend is almost over – indeed, on Sunday afternoon, the weekend is as good as over because that’s when the depression starts, although it’s not as bad as it used to be. More than anything else, it’s the “have to get up in the morning as normal people always do” that hits [...]

Mamacita says: This weekend is unlike any I’ve ever experienced, ever. I can’t remember it ever happening, anyway. If you are a pervert, burglar, murderer, or one of my stalkers, please cover your eyes as other people read the following: I’m alone in the house, ie, nobody’s home but me.
And since it’s temporary, it’s bloody [...]

I posted part of this a couple of years ago, but it’s the weekend and I think it bears posting again because when I think of all those exhausted teens being dragged from their beds because some adult thinks that because he’s up, everyone should be up, I get really angry on behalf of the [...]

Mamacita says: I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, exactly a spring chicken these days, but when the time comes that I stop asking questions, they can bury me. In fact, they should. What possible use is a person who doesn’t ask questions and seek answers? Can’t think of a thing.
I’m not presumptuous [...]

Mamacita says: When I was a little girl, Dad would often wink at Mom after dinner, and say “Now I’ve got gas; I guess I’ll go out and sit on the car.” And she would roll her eyes and say that HER family didn’t talk like that.
And I would be all happy because, hey. Free [...]

Mamacita says: I loathe euphemisms and most political correctness. They cheapen the language.
Euphemisms and PC are a kind of censorship, and censorship is the action of a weak, fearful, and ignorant mind. Smart people understand that many words have more than one meaning. Weak and ignorant people can’t, and, unfortunately, weak and ignorant people seem [...]

Mamacita says: Oh, I am such a backwards, provincial thing!
1. I still have never used an ATM machine. I have a feeling it might be a detrimental skill for me to learn.
2. I still have never watched a single Survivor-type show. They all seem more like fraternity hazings to me.
3. I’ve still not watched [...]

Mamacita says: Lady Gaga? I know who she is, but have no interest in hearing her sing or carry on or shake hands with the Queen whilst in full GagaGear.
However, I have to add that she might want to hire new publicity people as her current ones seem to have a one-track mind.
Last night at [...]

Mamacita says:
. . . interrupting my post-Christmas blues, my wallowing in Love Actually, my longing for visits from family, and my dread of taking down all my holiday decorations, with the Twelve Rules of Christmas, just for you:
1. Christmas is always better than you thought it would be, even if it’s not.
2. Christmas brings people [...]
