Grr. Argh.

My cold is mercifully easing up on me. Just in time for the impending snow cluster fuck. See in PDX we get snow...real snow, MAYBE once a winter and some sad slushy shit about once a year. And these Native Oregonians and the Cali transplants lose their little fucking minds. They think that just cause the are driving a Subaru (EVERYONE drives a Outback here, including the Parentals) that somehow they are like nimble polar bears traversing the snowy tundra. When, in fact, they are lead footed asshats nimbly running their autos into one another.

Last night around 11 I hear a crash. Now let me set the scene for you. I live in a foo foo development of "European village style town homes and condos." It's quite nice. And quite quiet. And I live on a dead end turnaround. So a crash right outside our little courtyard was not a usual sound. Apparently one of the sport-o, asshat, SUV driving yuppies underestimated the slippery street and overestimated their driving skills. And hit someones car. I am beyond grateful that I parked further down than I usually do. We have on street parking and when it is crappy weather I try to park at the edge of the alley/driveway so that I can just pull forward and not deal with getting out of parallel parking mode. Otherwise it could have been MY car. That would have sucked. Snow is supposed to start tonight and I am trying to figure out how to get my kid tomorrow night. I might go get her at lunch if the snow has not hit. We shall see.

Interesting Wal-Mart commercial. Apparently, as I have a vagina, I am supposed to be more concerned with Food supplies and party platters next weekend for the Bowl. Uh huh. We have a female front runner for president and the advertising world is still pimping ( and I use that specific word for a reason) the whole female in the kitchen and all clueless about sports routine. Yet another reason I'd rather eat dirt than shop there.

Speaking of protest, I never did hear from Fox News regarding John Gibson's fucked up comments. He did apologize as apparently the public outcry was huge. I did hear from several corporate sponsors I contacted from the link I posted. They all gave me the typical blah blah etc. Which is what I expected. The important part was that I was one more person whose ass they had to blow smoke up. The more the merrier, the more likely to dump Fox.
