A note to republicans - First of all, I’m thoroughly insulted by McCain’s VP pick. Secondly, if I hear him referred to as a “maverick” one more time I may start strangling people. Imagine my embarrassment if there’s an 85-year-old nearby. There is only room for one maverick in my life, and his name is Mel Gibson.
A note to American Eagle - I realize earlier this week I informed you that I’m done with your company and would not be purchasing products from you anymore. I also realize I placed an order today. Don’t think I’ve forgiven you. I simply had a gift card to use, and you had a free shipping deal.
A note to Ikea - You’re shipping charges are ridiculous. Seriously. OMG. So high.
Today I made it only 30 minutes on WNYC. Today’s hot story? Some guy followed an 85-year-old lady onto an elevator, choked her until she passed out (lifting her into the air by her neck, mind you - the video can be found online if you’re into that kind of thing), and made off with $900 and her cane! As Adam Carolla would say: Definitely not a Jew!
Today, I was able to listen to WNYC for nearly one full hour before NYC-centric news depressed/disgusted me into turning it off. The phrase that put me over the edge? “The city’s anti-groping campaign…”
Remember that time the random guy told me I looked geeky? Notice how I’m still not over it? Good. Allow us to continue. Last night I was watching an episode of The X-Files. Perhaps you remember Invisigoth:
Anybody care to guess what her vocation is? If you said Computer Genius, you would be correct.
This got me thinking. Here we have the computer guru from NCIS:
And who could forget Hackers:
Compare the above women to a picture of me from today:
Yikes! Somebody needs a makeover! If only I were more open to the idea of neck tattoos and heavy eye makeup. *sigh*. At least I have the pale thing down.
I’m just thinking - supposing somebody is a socially awkward foreigner, it might not be a huge assumption to think perhaps they get a lot of ideas about things from tv, in which case I am pretty Plain Jane for a computer girl. Right? Work with me here, people!
