... OF THE WEEK
ANNOYANCE...
People who listen to their music EVERYWHERE, blaring it in their ears constantly, even when they are trying to have a conversation. It seems these people are TERRIFIED of silence, because it may just give them the moment of focus they need to realize what ass holes they are.
I was at the mall the other day (which is an annoyance in itself) when the woman in front of me in line had her I-Pod on so loud I could hear it perfectly from 3 feet away and with "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" playing from a nearby store speaker. The woman did not bother to take her earphones off, or even turn the fucking thing down, as she asked for a gift card. As a result, when the clerk asked her what amount she wanted on the gift card, she could only reply "HUH, I CAN'T HEAR YOU."
This went on for a full minute before I stepped forward and plucked the left ear phone from her head. I then leaned in to yell as loudly as I could in her ear (which I was assuming must be partially deaf from the level of music she was listening to): "MAYBE YOU COULD HEAR IF YOU STOPPED LISTENING TO YOUR DAMNED I-POD FOR A FREAKING MINUTE AND WEREN'T SO RUDE!"
She called me a bitch - like that was an insult. But the clerk gave me a 40 percent off coupon and some free samples.
BLOG ...
He's short. He's politically incorrect. He likes to talk about poo. And he's my freakin' hero. I recently discovered Moooooog at Mental Poo (also known as the Midget Man of Steel) and have not stopped laughing since. Some of my favorite shit (pun intended) includes "Riding my bike through the Hershey Highway", "The God Guy," and "Ow, Canada." It's not just his writing either, but the hilarious pictures he adds along the way.
He's on vacation this week - going to Vegas or some such thing that sinners do to avoid holidays with the word "Christ" in them. But there's plenty to read over there since the guy posts EVERY DAY - an exhausting task, if you ask me. The fact that he's funny every day and seems to not even make an effort at it is also annoying. But like my addiction to deep fried macaroni and cheese, I couldn't stop if I wanted to. I don't think you will be able to either. Just be sure to have some wipes handy - in case you shit yourself from laughing. I'm just saying ... it has been known to happen. Hey ... why are you looking at me?
SHOE ...
The big new color of the season is pink - and not your pansy-ass, shy, pale pink, either, but an in-your-face, fuck-me-I'm-pink shade that gets people's attention. Now I've never really been much into pink, but I have to admit that it can be very fun, and feminine, when used as an accent color (like red is often used) to pop an outfit or to make a statement.
These bright pink patent peep-toes, called "Savor" by Guess, definitely do make a statement with the airy 4-inch wedge heal and metallic silver piping. And if you just can't embrace the pink, they also come in blue and in black. Use coupon code NEWTHX07 before the New Year and get an additional 15 percent off the regular price of $100 - what a deal! Check them out at shoes.com.
hehe, loved your ipod-girl-in-the-store story, classic and so funny!

Love the shoes. But, are they COMFORTABLE?
