You know you are witnessing the end times when you flip on the TV first thing in the morning and are treated to highlights of the freak show that is otherwise known as the video music awards.
I am making myself listen to some of Mike's preferred music when we're in the car going somewhere, so I actually knew who Katy Perry and Bruno Mars are.
Bruno is the evolutionary end-product of the Four Seasons and the Bee Gees, a/k/a men who sing like girls. Bruno sounds more hysterical though. He has one song where he talks about shooting himself for love. There's a romantic guy... Bruno also looks like a girl who is transgender and has decided to dress like a guy.He has a pretty good voice, though. I will admit that.
Katy Perry looks like she desperately wants Mattel to make a doll out of her. Then again, she's married to Russell Brand. I automatically turn off the TV if I happen to accidentally see him. He's just repulsive.
I love Adele, but she looks like a schoolteacher next to all the rest of them.
Lady Gaga dressed as a man and stayed in character all evening. Creepy character.
Justin Bieber brought a snake.
Beyonce flaunted her pregnant belly. That was fine - she didn't dye her hair purple or dress like a man.
I am so old, I remember Madonna writhing around onstage twenty-something years ago wearing a white wedding dress and singing "Like a Virgin." That would be considered so tame today.
After watering my plants, showering, getting Mike up, and everything I do in the first hour after I've waken up, the VMA's were just the perfect thing while I waked up and tried to get caffeinated. Not.
Then Mother walked in to drink her coffee and we had to switch the channel.
Looking at photos of the damage from Hurricane Irene was soothing, comparatively.

Mike and I were headed to Walmart for supplies late this afternoon and we saw the weirdest thing stuck to the trunk of a car in front of us. Looked like a tiny, fat, waving penis. Really did. I was wondering if I needed to get my glasses prescription changed. We finally were able to move forward and get a better look as we passed the car. It was a doll. Mike thought it was a Buddha figure. I hope not.
If it was, it was the perfect ending to a very weird day...
