My father's recent half-arsed over-parenting is more annoying than his former half-arsed under-parenting. I had a free day yesterday so I thought I'd spend it reading this book I'd got about how to choose a career (it's worth a shot right?) but then I spend all day with him. First he wants me to help him pick out a computer when he has no idea what sort he wants. Then he spends all night talking about his stupid conspiracy theories about how the queen is a lizard from space and how left wing polititians are all satanists they're trying to make the poor poorer and preventing the right wing politicians from helping the poor (is it not the other way 'round?) how the local air force base has all this futuristic science fiction technology which is classified (than how does he know about it all) (Yes I'm sure the finer details of their fighter jets clarified but he says they have all this Jetsons technology) and then he says since the best scientists in the country are they must all be creationists because he says they wouldn't be good scientists if they believed in evolution
So I plan to read that book today and he rings me up early and wakes me up so I can't go back to sleep, first to ask a stupid question about his computer that he doesn't know how to use and then he wants to know about my future career plans in great detail but because of his time wasting I haven't had time to make a plan yet. And he goes on about some childhood friend I had who joined the navy but he says he because an elite commando who personally shot the president of Egypt and uses X-ray goggles that can see through brick walls. If he's going to compare me against someone else can he at least do so without making stuff up?
I've been wanting to read this book for weeks but every day something happens. If not him someone or something else. I can't get anything done because other stuff keeps happening. I just need to isolate myself from other people so I don't have to waste time with stuff like hearing about the time Dad saw an invisible man (if he was invisible how could he see him

Your father sounds like fun unless he says all that in a grumpy/whinging way.
