TODO(ne) and QVC (or HSN) WTF? part II

TODO(ne):

1. Paid off my Jeep today, it is now officially mine. How long before it breaks down? I'll give it a month. (Please let it be something I can fix.)(Jesus is always breaking my things.)

2. Dropped off some work today. I hate errands. Also, I hate old white ladies (I said it!) who feel like it's okay bombard me with "facts" about how Obama is ruining the nation, blah, blah blah...in the post office line. AND if someone looks at you with a creased "you are a crazy person" face, and only responds with a "huh"-sneer. Why do you keep talking? Who does that? It must be nice to assume that everyone agrees with you. Here's what was assumed of me: 1) I'm a stay at home mom (she asked me if the kids were out of school yet), 2)I'm a republican (obviously...why? Am I putting out republican vibes, because if so, I am VERY upset), 3) I have never been anywhere (she keep telling me about states she had visited), 4) I am the type of person who would write a letter to CBS (or something) about how offensive it was for David Letterman to talk about Sarah Palin's daughter (fuck that! I wanna talk shit about Sarah Palin's daughter...I bet I could be WAAAAAY more offensive than boring David Letterman), 5) that I'm uneducated ("college isn't for everyone right? Well, no it's not, but it WAS for me.), 6) that I'm religous (I like your Jesus alright, but he can't help with a fastball...hahahah). What outward signifiers made her believe these things. Someone tell me, because I am super bothered that someone would assume these things. Of course when I pulled out in front of her she got a good look at my Obama sticker, so...nyah. Take that old white lady!

3. I built a trellis. Also, I got blackberry thorns all in me.

4. New idea: I should learn to wear shoes.

What's left? Stuff. And junk. Dishes mostly. Also I dunno.

Other gripes of the day:
1. Why can't I be a samurai? I would be really good at it. (Also, I love Akira Kurosawa...love...him.)
2. I'm not hungry, but I feel I should eat something.
3. What the hell, wisteria? Don't make me cut you!
4. If I miss my turn while I'm driving I find another way to turn around, often this means going out of my way...it is inconvenient, but ultimately my problem (I should have been paying attention). Why don't other people do this? Rather than inconvenience themselves they tend to BLOCK TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC ("Oh, shoot, I meant to take a left, not a right.") and inconvenience multiple people. BAH!
5. QVC or HSN...whatever...continued below.


QVC (or HSN) WTF? Part II (abridged):

Porcelain dolls are creepy...they are NEVER cute, precious, or "divine." And I now have proof that Marie Osmond is a racist. Thank you QVC (or HSN). Who BUYS THIS STUFF?? (This stuff: http://www.charismabrands.com/Marie_Osmond.aspx )

Also: CREEPLES!


I guess at least the doll doesn't have teeth?

QUESTION FOR Y'ALL: Why is it that when it comes to dolls the intentionally creepy is always beautiful, but the intentionaly beautiful is always creepy?

Comments

#2 is not you. it's the small-minded mentality that automatically assumes "my beliefs are obviously correct, therefore everyone else logically believes what i believe, and if they don't, they should."

i don't get why marie osmond is a racist, but that link sure is creepy as hell.
She made a few um, questionable, remarks during the 10 minutes of QVC I watched. I have to assume this is a trend? Two questionably derogatory remarks in 10 minutes....that's a lot. And one that I was like "WHaaaa?" before the host cut her off. It was something about it being stylish to adopt asian children because they're so adorable when you dress them "ethnic."
I wonder if that small town mentality comes from back in the day when every one married into each other's family and basically shared each other's beliefs/prejudices/etc?...but why would that still be going on? Do they not own books? Newspapers? Do they not have children that are educated and do they not speak with them over the dinner table?...at least during holidays when the children are home from college rolling their eyes at them during meals and conversations before beating it back to school once again, hastily?...
I agree with dragon. You don't give off any of those vibes. Old people just love to make assumptions and generalizations, especially about those who are much younger than them. I deal with it all the time at the symphony. Especially the youth = stupid assumption.
