Weekend Antiangst: The Inauguration

No, this isn't going to be about actual inaugurations. How fun would that be to read every Saturday? Ian's list of (least) favorite presidential inaugurations. But they could even be presidents for other countries or even businesses!

But, no, things I'm not doing: that. Sorry, history nerds.

No, I've finally come up with something to do for these weekends which doesn't require searching for videos that I know piss me off and then writing about them, which requires me to review them even further and even delve into actual research, depending on the product, where all of that just riles me up in the worst of ways. Nonsexually. I said the worst of ways. I feel bad if I have family members reading this, but they now know what they've been in for.

Also, yes, maybe I should've put a hyphen between "anti" and "angst" up there, but I like the word in makes. An-shung-stuh

An-shung-stuh. Important ending sound.

Anywho, what I'm going to be trying, as I realized reviewing Twitter profiles and the relative tweets is kind of...difficult...to make an entire post (sober) about, and since I did that, what, once? Well, I'm moving onto something with a little more fluff to counter all the bitchosity I bring during the week.

Saturday is now the day of "Ian's List of Stuff That Appeals to His Taste With No Particular Structure," or the ILoSTAtHTWNPS, as the kids call it. And even THAT, as I just made up the sentence with no expectancy, has a nice sound. "I lost at hot wonps." Wonps. That is the new title for this feature. 

See, people, I work on the fly.

The way this rolls: I pick one category a week (song, TV show, play, food, container, precipitation, whatever) and give a little insight on why I mentioned it. This will cumulative until 10, which is the cap for the list.

What does that mean? It means I will start off with 1 category and move to 2 next week, with the 1st category staying on until I run out of things to list in that particular section. 3rd week holds the 2 former categories with new subjects PLUS a new third one. If you don't understand, show up in 3 weeks and you'll go "OHHHHH! That makes sense." 

ON TO THE RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY!

(Imagine Liv Tyler dressed in Zelda's outfit here. Don't worry if you don't want to imagine it, because I sure am. Yes, ma'am.)

Category the One-st: Beer of the Week
Winner: Labatt Blue Light
Reason: Honestly, it's the only beer we have in the house, and since it's Friday and the Cavs are on, it's Beertime. Even if it wasn't, I'd still be drinking it. For as cheap as it is, it's mighty tasty. Sure, it's a piss-poor substitute for the snobby beers I've been introduced to, but man, when you get two of those in a mug given to you by your fraternity for being old, you feel good drinking its golden splendor. I see you looking at me, Xi Chi crest, and you are wondrous. Keep holding my beer for me and I will keep drinking from you.

See? Simple. Next week, we'll have a BotW and a new category. I picked beer first because there are a SHLOAD of beers that I enjoy, so that will at least last us until we get to the 10th category added.

Why are you reading this? You should also be drinking and/or partying!

Come back Monday, especially if you like to disenjoy things. Next Saturday: another Wonps.
