me ♥ vacation

so, i’ve been out of town for the last week or so. I was in Vegas “vacationing” with the fam. I use quotes because these last few days have only served to reinforce what i knew prior to my driving east, which is that my parents’ idea of what constitutes a vacation are vastly different from mine.

for example, I enjoy playing golf while on vacation…I do not however enjoy waking up before 6am to do so. waking up at sunrise is something that should only be done (if ever) when going to work.

I’m pretty sure I could have gotten up early and not gone on a vacation.

this isn’t to say that I didn’t have a good time. for the most part I did (good parts consisted mainly of great restaurants, the actual process of golfing, as opposed to waking up to go golfing, cirque de soleil shows - esp. Love - and winning $200 in about 45 minutes)…however, i will probably need a week of sleeping to recover. unfortunately, this week will not be forthcoming as for part of this coming week my parents will be continuing their vacation out here in LA. There is, however, as of the moment, no golf planned. that said, i’m sure other reasons will be found to necessitate waking up at the crack of dawn.

anyways.

today, i spent the day running around trying to do some errands, which was for the most part a pain in the ass.

i will not get into this further, as there was little interesting to be said for these errands other than to describe the traffic that came with them…and i’m of the belief that traffic is, generally speaking, not something worth talking about more than to say it sucks.

i did, however see a very interesting license plate on a car in said traffic that gave me some things to think about at one point this afternoon.

the license plate said me ♥ tivo.

now, haivng been on vacation during the week when most of the new shows (as well as returning shows) that i plan on watching this fall made their debuts, this is a sentiment that i can certainly appreciate.

that said, i couldn’t help but wonder if

a. I ♥ tivo was taken and so the person had to settle for the poor grammar choice

b. the person has watched so much television it has in fact rotted his brain

c. the person was a foreigner and is still learning the nuances of personal pronouns.

or

d. the person is stupid.

along with his license plate, some other things of interest on his car were a large selection of bumper stickers (some of which covered portions of the car other than the bumper - so i’m not certain if these should still be referred to as bumper stickers or not). One of these stickers said, “divorce kevin.” I think this is probably as much of a clue as needed in order to determine which of the above scenarios is the most likely.
