a little friday love

by amy on March 19th, 2010

it’s friday. life is good. i had a great interview yesterday that got me a second interview on monday, and let’s all hope and pray like we’ve never prayed before that i get it.

that being said, it’s a things that must go friday.

1. subaru outbacks covered in bumper stickers. usually environmental/political.

what is it with subaru outbacks and bumper stickers? why are they always driven by a.) lesbians or b.) crazy biology professors with wild white hair and panama hats? and why is it that every outback i see is plastered in environmental and/or political bumper stickers? i’ve yet to see a subaru NOT plastered in stickers.

it’s amazing to me. i’ve never seen a stereotype more accurate than the outback. just sayin’.

2. overalls

this cat hates his life.

so will you if you wear these:

don’t bring these back. i don’t care if they’re couture. leave them to train conductors and polygs. kthx.

3. march madness

omg. don’t kill me and stop reading my blog. it’s just…i kinda hate march madness. i guess the office pools are fun, but i’m not in an office, so all they hype everywhere i go is obnoxious. i mean seriously. how many meatheads can i watch go crazy over a stupid college basketball game before i punch them AND myself in the face? not many. i’ll tell you that much.

i blame this on the fact that the doctor that delivered me was watching march madness WHILE pulling me out of the birth canal.  (of course, i don’t remember, but pamela tells me this is true. i tell her she should have gotten a discount on that delivery bill.) so, i was born to hate it.

don’t hate me.

4. subway $5 footlong song

omg. subway, i love you, and i love your any footlong for $5 deal, but for the love of all things holy, make the song STOP.

you’re going to drive jared to do this:

you don’t want the demise of an all-american icon on your hands, do you?

and just so you can have it in your head all day like i do every day of my life…here it is.

5. old, leathery women that are still on tv despite all odds

e.g.:

and

and this one perhaps isn’t as leathery, but why, why, why or more importantly, how, how, how does she still make it on tv?

all i can say is someone is sleeping with someone to make it on television at this point. just sayin’.

6. snow in march

whatever. i know i live in utah and this happens. but are you kidding me? it was 62 on wednesday, and now it’s snowing. why do i still live here? someone seriously please tell me why i haven’t moved yet. klasdjfklsajgkls;hg;alskfj. no, i will not get used to it. yes, i will pout about it.

and this week deserves a couple of solid WINS! in celebration of finally getting a solid interview.

this first one was submitted by mz. jena schmidt. it made me laugh, cry, and smile all while strangely wanting to listen to whitney houston:

you can’t watch that and not love life.

secondly, this absolute GEM came to my attention via my sis-in-law, Callie. this is absolute gold, kids. someone with a lot of time on their hands did us a favor and put this amazing old video to a new rap song. it’s so perfect it hurts. callie, i genuinely can’t thank you enough for this:


Walk it out fosse

and lastly,

happy friday, everyone. thanks for reading. and as always, if you have things that must go, by all means let me know. i’d love to hear your pet peeves and rants.

    i think i had a dream about overalls the other night.
    i LOVED that walk it out video!! i watched the entire thing and laughed my ass off the whole time. can we please learn that dance? i have a feeling it would go well to many a rap song.

    I love everything about this post except the whole march madness thing. I LOVE march madness! I LOVE watching so many games end in overtime and buzzer-beaters! I LOVE beating guys who watch college basketball all season when I know nothing about the teams (and right now I’m kicking butt.) I wish every month was march. It’s ok though, I don’t hate you.

    children really should be learning the word vulva. i mean, really. why sugar coat it? amazing, zack. thanks for sharing. this paired with my inner desires for phallic bananas really makes me want to rethink my priorities.
