I'm Dreaming of A White Christmas....as long as I have a garage!

So I love snow.  I've always loved snow.  It's just such a fun element.  As a kid I thought it was the best thing ever.  And why not?  You could turn it into weapons, craft it into caves and forts.  It can become a mode of transportation, and also be very beneficial to your health, when used for a workout.  All these reasons and more are why I love snow.  I mean it makes for great Ansel Adams pictures (not that I am equating my skills to his in any way).

You can imagine my exicement when I woke up Sunday morning, looked out the window and saw a beautiful blanket of pure white.  It was awesome, I was so excited I just had to wake Mark up from his dead sleep.  He told me he knew, that it had started snowing last night, I continued to pester him, apparently he wasn't getting that there was snow outside.

We made our way safely to and from church that morning.  We even stopped to pick up ice scrappers and de-icer.  All to be prepared.  We got in our sweats and had a joyous day, watching the snow come down outside.

Then Monday morning came and it was time for me to grow up.  It was as I was trying to get into my vehicle that I realized that snow is great in theory.  In reality it can be a HUGE pain in the butt.  It's wonderful when you don't have the responsibilities of work, or need to actually get somewhere.  It's awesome, basically if you have a garage.

Mark had been a sweetheart and went out and cleared all the snow and ice from my car, however, my locks and door were still frozen shut.  "No matter," I thought.  For we had bought de-icer.  I stuck the little hose in the locks and waited a few seconds (it is after all supposed to be instant de-icer) put my key in, and nothing happened.  So I tried again.  Still nothing.  Now I am getting concerned.  I live close to work, but it's 15 degrees out with a real feel of about -2.  There is no way I am going to walk and get to work on time.  So I start de-icing my door as best as possible, and squirting more de-icer in the lock. 

In a panic I call Mark at work, he doesn't pick up.  Now I really am screwed.  I leave him a frantic message.  Cursing at the voicemail lady who takes way to long to give directions for something I know how to do.  Finally, I decide to give it one more go.  With all my might I twist the key in the lock and it finally turns.  I then rip at the door to try to get it open.  I sit in my freezing car, and try to get it to start.  Finally after a long struggle, the engine just barely turns over.  I blast my defroster, and now we are in business.

As I made my way out of the neighborhood and down the street to work, I realized, if I had a garage, I would love snow as much as I did as a kid.  It would be a wonderous event everytime I saw flakes.  I might still be a little nervous when I got on the roadways, but the minute I pulled back into my garage, I would be so excited.  However, not having a garage has made me realize, that while I still love snow, we are not as close of friends as I once thought.  Snow is my cool friend, who every now and again gets a little nasty and turns on me.  I still want to be snow's friend because it's cool, but at the same time, I now very much distrust it.

Clipping Your Wings

Okay so I had quite a lot of fun watching the drama unfold this morning, while I ate my breakfast.  Though keep watching because Tabatha's Salon Takeover is back, and I most certainly will be covering it.  So let's get things rolling with Jerseylicious.  So Alexa finally got her Glam Factory up and running.  The description being a 1960's, Andy Warhol, glammy, Alexa, and now space.  So you knew there was going to be a throw down between her and the Gatsby.  Though in watching that opening scene, did anyone else realize that she had more employees then just Olivia and Brielle?  I mean she gets Gigi and Tracy to help her, but by the looks of things, there are plenty of girls...or was I the only one confused by this?

Meanwhile, Olivia, who is always caught in the middle, is offered the head stylist position, and good, why not.  She actually listens to the customer and does more than a smokey eye.  So Alexa comes in, and in a very unprofessional manner (though in her defense she did ask to go into Gayle's office) starts basically tellin Gayle to kiss off.  Then throws Olivia in the middle.  Here's the thing, we get it, you helped shape Olivia, but then you treat her like crap.  Why would she want to stay with you, and if the tables were turned am I really going to believe that Alexa wouldn't have taken the head makeup artist position?

Okay, so then we have the Olivia and Briella storyline.  Of course, Tracy, takes Briella out for drinks and asks, "Do you really think one person can be that evil?"  I think Tracy has made it her goal to make Olivia miserable at every turn, and I think that's why she went after Briella.  But what in the world is up with Briella then inviting Tracy to her party?  I get it, you want to be nice to people, and it is your birthday, but Olivia is your best friend.  Why would she lie to you, and why would you then decide to do that to your best friend?  Talk about cold.  Where was a life raft when Olivia needed it to get off that booze cruise?

So quickly, Real Housewives.  Why oh why doesn't anyone just come out and say that Kim is tone deaf?  I mean seriously, Kandi, I respect you girl, but you are starting to lose that.  And then having the girlfriend come, who was is just me or did she talk kind of weird and slow.  Like she took a lot of awkward pauses.  And then wouldn't let anyone talk to her?  Why?  Just weird if you ask me.  And then her daughter abstinence ring.  I think it is wonderful of her daughter, but I'm with Nene, the example she's been given does tend to stack the deck against her.

We finally got closure on Sheree's doctor, and wow.  I love that he was upset because after three dates when she called on the phone she didn't strike up a conversation with this man's kids whom she had never met.  Say what you will about Sheree, but she actually seems like a good mom, no one meets her kids until she is sure they are going to be together for a long time. Then I loved how she asked him to prove he was a doctor.  He brought his "transcripts" but then wouldn't show them.  And then he wanted her to prove she was a woman...say what?  I mean I loved Sheree's reponse when she did her little talking head.

I think we also learned that any photo shoot involving Pheadra and Apollo will turn out creepy.  I mean the position they were holding their son in, was just weird.  I was hoping that motherhood would make her a little less self absorbed, but that doesn't appear to be happening.

Steaming hot...garbage

Okay, so I watched Valentine's Day for the first time, and wow, what a terrible movie.  I think it was supposed to be this year's He's Just Not That In to You.  However, it really missed the mark.  I think for starters there were too many characters.  I mean you have the old couple that have been together forever (Hector Elinzando (or however you spell it) and Shirley McLane), the florist (Ashton Kutcher), his fiance (Jessica Alba), and his best friend a teacher (Jennifer Garner), who just started dating a doctor (Patrick Dempsey), who is married.  We have two high school couples, one of which is played by the Taylors (no worries, we'll get to them).  The little boy who is grandson to the old couple, and who is babysat by one of the high school girls.  Wow, and that's only a partial list.  We still have Topher Grace who starts seeing a completely miscast Anne Hathaway.  We have Jessica Biel, Jamie Foxx, Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy, George Lopez, and what the heck, let's throw in some Queen Latifah to top it all off.

Now think about this, He's Just Not That In To You had about 9 people to care about.  Valentine's Day has so many people you don't really care about any of them.  And then there were so many miscasts.  Jessica Biel as the PR rep who is neurotic, while Anne Hathaway is the receptionist who also does 1-900 calls on the side, with horrible Russian and Southern accents.  Ashton Kutcher and Jennifer Garner are best friends, somehow I just don't see that line up, maybe her and Bradley Cooper, or her and Patrick Dempsey, but I don't see Ashton for that role.

And the acting, even Shirley McLane had me giggling to myself.  I mean seriously, I think I giggled harder at this acting attempt then I did at all her talk of past lives and the what.  Then we have two wastes of space, the Taylors.  Lautner and Swift, who don't know.  Wow, I mean we knew he was bad, but she wasn't much better.  Part of me thinks it's his voice that makes him such a bad actor.  Like the way he sounds, his voice, all of it, just screams, hi I am a good looking kid who can't act.  It really felt like we could have cut them and the film would have moved along perhaps a little bit smoother.

The plot, for those wondering, is looking around the greater Los Angelas area and seeing how people celebrate Valentine's Day and what is going on in these particular characters' lives.  You get all the cliched storylines, no deep thoughts on this, and basically a whole lot of characters, with no depth to make you care.

Okay so no we must move onto The Real ousewives of Atlanta.  So Phaedra went into labor.  I love how she says the doctors have different theories about how the baby develops, and I love that Dwight is in on the whole thing.  I mean when even Kim Zolciak can break it down for you, and explain that actually it's a science, you know that you are heaping out garbage.  Babies take 40 weeks to develop.  And it was actually kind of refreshing to see that Kim actually did get her degree in nursing and knew what she was talking about.  It does give a glimmer of hope...probably not.

I mean we all know why Phaedra was lying, but at this point she's in her thirties.  I am not condoning a baby out of wedlock, but seriously, is her mom that much in denial, that she is also going to believe that by some miracle Phaedra's baby is fully developed at 7 months and they are going to induce?  I mean honestly, they got married, so what is there to be upset about?  You can't go back and change it, do you really need to live in denial? 

And then we have Sheree's doctor.  I love how upset he was getting because they were asking him questions.  I mean I get it, no one wants to be grilled, but what do you expect when you have scandals surrounding you?  I also love that he got his doctorate online?  Can you even do that?  I love what Kandi said, "Dr Kandi Buress, that has a nice ring to it."  I have the same thoughts.  Heck I can start working on a few more online degrees.  It's like getting ordained online, of course you can do it, but beyond performing a wedding ceremony, are you going to trust an online reverand to preach to you?

Customer Service, Where did you go?

Is anyone else wondering where customer service seems to have gone?  I know I am.  Let me be clear here, I totally get it from the other side.  I worked at Starbuck's and I am presently working for GAP.  I totally get when there is a pain in the butt customer you would rather just walk off from then help, but that isn't every customer.  And that doesn't mean I excuse being lazy or complacent with your job.  Every pain in the butt customer, as long as they didn't overstep their bounds, I gritted my teeth and did what needed to be done.  it also motivated me to move faster, the sooner I got them what they wanted, the sooner they were out of my hair.

So let's move to what happened today.  I am doing my usual run to the grocery store, and let me tell you, we needed it.  My mom gave me a delightful recipe (though as I recall, as a child I wasn't so fond of this recipe.  Hey it's low cal, you do what you gotta do.) of cornbread over ground turkey.  I was looking for the cornbread, and for the life of me could not find it.  I went to the baking section near the flour and cornmeal, but alas, no jiffy blue box was found.  So I thought, maybe I'll try near the cakes and breads.  Nope.  I found the Jiffy brownies, but no cornbread.  So I gave up, thinking when I get to the checkout I will ask them.

I step up to the check out lane, and the fun begins.  Apparently the lady in front of me and the clerk were best of friends and hadn't seen each other in years.  Don't get me wrong here, I am not against people chatting and catching up, however, when you are at work, I expect you to realize it and do what you're getting paid to do.  So I am loading my groceries, the lady is finished checking out, and they proceed to talk for another five minutes.  She doesn't even start to ring me up, and I need to finish unloading my cart.  It was so bad, the gentleman behind me decided to go to another check out.

Finally, she starts ringing me up.  As I am finishing unloading my cart I ask, "Do you carry cornbread mix here, I looked with all the baking supplies and couldn't find it."  Both the clerk and the bagger, who just waled up respond, "Oh yes, it's with the flour and cornmeal."  I then stated, "I checked there."  "Oh," they both say, "well that's where it would be."  Now mind you I am still unloading my cart.  "Would you like to go look?"  Yes that is what they asked me.  Would I like to go look?  Considering that I just told you that I did look and couldn't find it, no.  I want you to do your job, stop bagging my groceries, waddle your hind end back there.  You work here, you know exactly where it should be, you go find it.  I am not going to leave all my groceries, and my purse and everything else to go search for an item that I already spent 10 minutes looking for twice.  Are they not getting paid?  Did I misunderstand something? 

Now here me out, if it was just the bagger, I would not expect her to leave her post to go look.  I would expect her to get on her loud speaker and ask one of the many stockers to get it.  But since we had a bagger, that's what I expect her to do.  Don't get me wrong, I am not being lazy either, but since I already had difficulty, all I am wanting here is some help.  Too much to ask for?  Apparently.

Dinalicous

Oh wow, we've got some stuff to cover.  Okay let's start off with Dina Lohan, and get it done with.  So Dina went on the today show and FINALLY admitted that her daughter is an addict.  She said that well she never said anything before because it wasn't her problem to admit.  Lindsay needed to admit it.  You know I could buy it if Dina had actually just kept her mouth shut.  Then I would believe she wanted to keep this matter private and was waiting for Lindsay to own up, but not our Dina.  She was out there crying to the world that her daughter did not have a substance abuse problem.  She blamed the judge, she blamed pretty much everyone, instead of saying, "My daughter has a problem, I should shut my mouth and get her some help."  And now suddenly it's very convienant that she is now doing an interview saying that she knew all along, but was waiting on Lindsay.  Here's the thing Dina, you knew your daughter had a problem, and you did nothing because you are an addict yourself.  You are addicted to fame, and as long as your daughter is in the news and relevant it is good news for you.  How about you try being a mother, just for once, actually do something that benefits your daughter?

Okay, so on to funnier things, Jerseylicious.  Of all the Jersey shows this is the one I can get behind.  We aren't seeing the Real World Jersey Shore, which is really all it is.  It's the same format as the Real World, they all just happen to be self proclaimed Guidos and Guidettes.  Jerseylicious was great this week.  Gayle became a Grandma, and is contemplating letting Alexa go.  Now I get it, she feels disrespected by Alexa, and Alexa is a trip to be sure, but I don't know that I feel it's all Alexa's fault.  If Gayle isn't liking the partnership that's fine, but don't pin everything on Alexa, it does take two here.

Gayle got mad because the Gatsby's name was small on the flyer, but remember she didn't actually want the flyer.  Turns out that Alexa's flyer idea was actually a good one.  Some of the residents had them and came because of it.  I think Gayle was probably deep down upset on that one that Alexa had a good idea and that because she thought it was stupid her name was smaller and at the bottom.  And I honestly felt that Alexa made a good point, how many events has she done that Gayle hasn't put up the Glam Fairy name.  Alexa still shows, is a pain in the butt, but does makeup.  Also, it's not like there is a sign on the business that says that the Glam Fairy squad is there.

Gayle feels disrespected.  Okay how about her basically telling Alexa's client she looked like crap after Alexa did her makeup.  Now I agreed with Gayle, it was too much makeup for this woman, and it was a bit much, but if the woman liked it, you don't tell her you think she looked better before.  If the customer is happy, then be happy with them.  Sure Alexa doesn't listen to people, but if she is still getting business then obviously she isn't doing too bad.

I just think Gayle is done and needs to admit that and move on.  Getting mad because Brielle came, she is a part of the Glam Fairy squad, and who cares?  It's a charity event, what is so wrong with having an extra set of hands to help out? 

And now we come to the shining moment of this episode, the boob job.  Oh wow could we have had any better moment?  First, Olivia told that she should find the size bra she wants and stuff it with rice and see how big she wants her implaints.  So on the street Brielle and her are adjusting these rice patties and looking in business windows, then wondering why everyone is honking.  Hello, you're adjusting and playing with your fake ta-tas on the street.  Go home and play with them in front of the mirror.

Then, after everyone has told her not to get implants, the day has come and Olivia has the most awesome of melt downs in the office.  It starts with the girl getting a reduction.  She was a little over aggressive while convincing Olivia, and Brielle went into attack mode, when really it wasn't necessary.  But that was it for Olivia, by the time she was changing into her gown she was in full panic attack mode, tears and all.  I mean you would have thought the people were attacking her.  I was wondering where the drugs were, because she freaked out.  I loved, "You can keep my money, and charge me for this dress."  As she roams around the parking lot in the hospital robe/gown while the surgeon is just trying to calm her down and talk to her.

Cannon in Self Love

Okay, sorry it's been so long.  Where do we begin?  How about the mess that is Charlie Sheen?  You know let's start back a while ago, remember when Denise Richards made all those claims about how crazy Charlie was, and everyone was like she's crazy and she's making it up.  I'll give you she is fame obsessed, and crazy, but she is a truthful crazy.

Next we hear that Charlie is really taking his sobriety seriously.  He showed up on the set to Two and a Half Men and was all business.  Well yeah, of course he was.  That's his cash cow.  He's an addict not an idiot.  He's getting paid 2 million dollars an episode on one of the most overrated shows on television.  I'll believe that he actually takes his sobriety seriously when he checks into rehab and actually deals with the issue.  Somehow to me a "sober coach" who helps give you spiritual guidance doesn't seem like it's going to really contribute.  After the story we heard of a coke fueld rage, I am thinking he needs a little more than "sober coach."

And yet another Disney star going through troubles.  I just have to know what is going on with these kids?  If we don't have Miley Cyrus stripping down and showing us "how grown up she is" then we have every female Disney employee dating Joe Jonas.  You think they would get the message that this guy is just one big heart breaker.  So now we have Demi Lovato in rehab, after partying and going a little crazt.  Here's the thing, you're 18, life will go on.  You'll find another pair of eyebrows that desperately need to be plucked to love.  That's the problem.  All of these Disney stars have been allowed to think they are so "grown up."  They are kids and they still need someone to look out for them.

And speaking of parental intervention, Taylor Momsen, flashing tapped over nipples at her concerts.  Okay the girl is 17, and her mom is at the concerts.  Great mothering, when you daughter ends up with either STDs or knocked up please at least pretend to be shocked, someone has to because the rest of us won't be.

Leann Rimes and Eddie Ciribian (or however you spell his name) had a self-righteous interview with Robin Roberts.  Apparently she has accepted being called a homewrecker and everything else.  My problem here with Ms. Rimes is that I think she cares a little bit too much about being apart of everyone's life.  And now she found a man that enjoys the spotlight just as much as she does.  Personally, I don't need her justification that she's human and everyone makes mistakes, and that cheating is not who she is, she just fell in love.  Okay, so here's the thing she is a cheater, and obviously it was low on her morality list, or she would have either a: realized she had a problem with her marriage, or b: gone to her now ex-husband and said it's over and then entered into a relationship.  She can try to rationalize and explain her behavior any way she wants, but love is not going to make this right.  The reason because she was right, it was love, but her decision was more about self love then anything else. 

And last, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon confirmed she's pregnant.  Congratulations to them, but honestly, do any of us really care?  I know it's like the one piece of entertainment news that was sparkly and happy, but honestly I don't care about what the cougar and her boytoy are doing.  Congratulations, you don't need to go on every talk show.  The two of them annoy me, everything feels like it's just a way to get more spotlight....hmmm.....this sounds very familiar to the paragraph that proceeded this one, and really even the Disney kids and Charlie Sheen.  They all think we should care about them.  But back to the Cannons, hopefully her doctor will advise her that since she is so prone to exhaustion (mental breakdown a few years ago anyone?) that she should go home and rest out of the spotlight until the baby is let's say 10.

The Real Housewives

Okay, so I know that this show is sooo trashy at times, but for some reason I can't get enough of the drama.  And really after the episode I just saw it is time to finally blog about it.  So this season, thus far, has had quite the drama and goings on.  We got two new ladies, and well we still have Kim.

I have to say that Phaedra is really an interesting woman to me.  I think Cynthia called it when she said that Phaedra is her biggest cheerleader.  She keeps talking about how much a Southern Belle she is, and how she loves the classier things because of how she was raised.  She says it so much though, that it almost makes me wonder if it's true.  Like actually, your parents are pastors who raised you in a normal home, but because you have such a high profile job and are around all of these people, you feel the need to impress and let everyone know that you are Miss Manners and the like.

So I, for the most part, got over her constant ribbing of her husband growing up in a white home.  I do realize that there are probably differences, however I was raised in a white home and I would say I can appreciate the finer things.  Her talking about how her husband is used to canned food because of his white upbringing, are we sure this isn't from his prison days?  I mean last I checked the prisoners aren't eating Wulf Gang Puck in prison, though if we let the ACLU know that might have that changed quickly.  I mean my parents have always made nice wholesome food, and now I do the same.  I think that is probably more of a social upbringing then anything to do with color.

So her baby shower...can we really call it that?  150-200 guests that is insane, but great for the baby.  Think of everything that baby is going to have.  Though I do hope a few of them pulled together for some big ticket items, how many stuffed animals does a kid need?  Then she has ballerina's and everything else.  I am sure she appreciates the arts, but how about throwing that party at a different day.  I liked how all of the other ladies put it, sit down, open your presents, and eat some cake.  This doesn't need to look like your second wedding.  And the rhinestones on the eye.  I am all about bling and glitter and looking fabulous, but that was a bit much.  She has such beautiful eyes, do they really need to be bedazzled?

Gap Toothed Bride and Other News

So apparently Hillary Duff's tooth fell out three hours before her wedding, so she told Ellen DeGeneres.  Now I don't watch Ellen, so I don't know the whole story, just what People Magazine printed.  Does anyone else find this odd?  I mean what were you doing three hours before your wedding that your tooth fell out?  I mean you would either have to have rotting teeth, have hit it extremely hard, or pulled it out?

Onto the next rant, Lindsay Lohan.  Yes, we all need to say a prayer for that girl, but I almost think jail would have been good for her.  Why is she any better than any other junkie?  What the court really needs to do is get her clean and away from her destructive family and around people who actually care for her. 

OC Housewives news, Vicki split from Donn.  This seems so weird after the vow renewal.  I never like to see a marriage dissolve, but from the way the show painted it, Donn was last on Vickie's list.  Now my question is how long before he and Gena are dating?  Does anyone else remember how Gena seemed to think Donn was a catch??  Anyone else remember that?

Last: Kim Kardashian's $1 million birthday cake.  I mean really?  I was glad to hear she had nothing to do with it, and thought they should give her a cupcake and donate the rest.  But considering this girl just had a week of Birthday parties, shouldn't she have donated some of that money?  You know maybe I should start talking with Mark.  My birthday is a week apart from Valentine's day, maybe this is the perfect way to incorporate love and my birthday. We better call a planner.

Missouri on the roads.

After having lived in three states, it has become a trait to examine how people in different states drive.  This trait I have definitely inherited from my mother.  So let's examine this shall we?

California, well we are all in a race to get somewhere, and pretty much self consumed jerks, who cut you off and race ahead of the line, just sure that we'll be the ones to beat traffic and get there first.  Californians are a little too enthusiastic about merging, they don't care if there isn't room for you to get over, they are coming into your lane any ways.  And hey at least we all know how to speed together, except for the overly cautious and Prius drivers. 

Idaho, well they don't know how to merge at all.  It's like they are waiting for a signed invitation to get onto the freeway.  It doesn't help that nobody actually moves over so there is a chance of you being able to get on the freeway.  So you better be good at eyeballing it.

Then we come to Washington.  My mother didn't think that there were any worse drivers until we moved to Washington.  How can people who pretty much deal with rain EVERY day, be so scared of it.  When they get on the roadways they all act like they have never seen precipitation before.  As if that weren't bad enough, there is no knowledge of why the fast lane was created.  You have people going 10mph under the speed limit sitting out in the left lane, and no clue that perhaps their best placement would be in the right lane.  And they wonder why they have such bad traffic.  Washingtonians are weird mergers, halfway between an Idaho and a California.  They want an invitation, but then get fed up and agressively attack whatever space may or may not be there.  So obviously traffic is a nightmare.  Add in some Canadian drivers (I'm not even going to open that can of worms) and you have one big mess.

So now let's look at Missouri, at least the St. Louis area.  Okay, first off, these people LOVE their horns.  They will honk because they don't like what you are doing.  Example A: Today I was coming home from my run in the park.  They are doing construction on a street called Skinker, so in my direction it narrows down to one lane.  I was behind a semi, and coming up to a light where I need to turn right.  There were cones blocking the right lane almost all the way up to the light, and where they stopped the cones, there was only enough room for the semi, who needed to be in the right lane.  This meant that I had to partially block the one lane because I couldn't get completely over.  The lady behind me kept pounding on the horn.  Now what am I supposed to do?  I need to turn right so I can't just stay in the lane I was in, it's on the left hand side and goes straight.  But there wasn't quite enough room for me to get over, so my little trunk had to stick out.  Lay on your horn all you want, there is no other way this is going to play out.

Here's another shining example.  Mark and I went to an event that didn't serve dinner.  So afterwards, when it was late, we went to a drive-thru to get him something quick to eat.  Now I am totally with everyone in that drive-thru, it could not have moved any slower.  We are talking they took an order about once every ten minutes.  We had four cars in front of us, and by the time we got to the speaker we have about five more.  While waiting, a car a couple cars behind us starts honking.  Really, you're going to start honking.  We're all trapped in this one little lane and we can only goes as fast as those serving us.  Pipe down, you'll get your fatty burger and milkshake.

Next, there is the issue of people consistantly taking up two lanes.  It's like no one understands that they are supposed to stay within the lines.  We're not in Kindergarden here.  I am constantly worried when I go to pass someone that they might come over on top of me.

Last, we have the aggressive behavior.  They see a spot, and it doesn't matter that another car might becoming too closely, if they think it's their spot, the go for it.  When getting on the freeway, same situation, they know how to merge, and they will merge on top of you if need be.  Sadly, since I don't like to get in accidents, I have had way too many times where the horn and aggression come together.  Someone decided for me that I should have pulled out in front of an oncoming car to claim a space, but I wasn't on the same page.  So I have to sit there listening to their horn.

Okay, so there's my rant for the morning.  Just remember when you come to Missouri, be prepared to be crazy on the roadway, all while doing the speed limit and honking your horn.

The First Tamale

Well okay, I decided to use my time to start blogging about my life here in St Louis, Missouri, but also all of the television that I watch, as well as pop culture events.  Since I seem to watch all of the guilty pleasure television (that I know you're all watching) I thought, what the heck why not put my thoughts down.  Also, since I am fresh off my move, why not chronicle my day-to-day journies of looking for a job, navigating my way around a foreign city, and just living life in general.
