some stuff

over the past few days i've seen and experienced some interesting/noteworthy things. some made me laugh, some made me angry, some greatly frustrated me. regardless, i feel like i must share:

• leg warmers
  i was cruising through the mall in the accessories section and i saw a display of leg warmers. omg no way. big slouchy sock minus the footie. ridiculous. it was like i was in a time warp. if your legs are cold just wear tall socks. or warmer pants. oh...wait, i do get it. they're for fashion, not function.
  
  
  
• holidays are almost here!
  wha? i can't remember what is being advertised, but project 9-6-1 is playing this spot that says "the holidays are coming and you should come buy stuff" or something like that. well. of course the holidays are approaching. i think it's it's called THE PASSAGE OF TIME.
  
  
  
• dental hygeine
  here is a random and little-known fact about me: i floss my teeth every day. even when i come home drunk on friday night. i haven't missed a day in over 3 years. my dentist does not believe me.
  
  
  
• i have big clown feet
  someone in my office asked what size shoe i wore. i told her most of my shoes are size 8 (totally not boats). i was wondering what point she was trying to make, if any, and then she says "well, your feet look really long in those sandals." still wondering what she was getting at - i mean, that wasn't meant as a compliment, right? and funny, because those shoes were a smaller size. so i'm thinking this is the most pointless conversation i've ever had with anyone, ever. then she comes over to check my feet out, comments on the optical illusion of my shoes (something about the long piece down the center yada yada) and then says "oh, it might be because your pants are short" and i'm like bitch, they're called cropped pants, and are you trying to say i look ridiculous? the sad thing is that i thought i looked really good for once.
  
  
  
• uga flags on ambulance
  yep, that's right. if i needed to get to the hospital and that ambulance came to take me away i might just refuse the ride.
  
  
  
• my t-shirt twin
  i have this awesome t-shirt that says "aspen base operations" on the front. on the back is a nice graphic of the rocky mountains with some airplanes at the base and beneath it reads "park it in aspen." i bought it in the thrift shop in downtown aspen colorado. i saw this dude in costco wearing the exact same shirt. i went up to him and told him that i had the same shirt, only because i knew it was a rare find and because i was just curious about the shirt. he said he used to fly commuter jets into aspen and apparently that was the team shirt. so, that's kinda neat.
  
  
  
• old lady can't park car
  no surprise there. you know how some of the handicap spaces at cumberland costco are right at the front & totally separated from the other spaces by the curb? anyway, this old lady was trying to back into this handicap space and it was so pathetic. these spaces are huge and unless you're pulling in perpendicular to the space it's pretty much impossible to end up with your car outside the lines. she must have pulled up/backed in/pulled up/backed in like 10 times, and i think she curbed her tire and hit the sign post. at first i was like, oh, how sad, this old lady is having trouble parking. then i was like whatever, you suck at driving, get off the road.
