What the fuck am I talking about? This: Is it me or is that Creamy Sweet Corn Soup frowning?  :( Completely Random Crap 2008-10-07T02:18:09-08:00 http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/commercials_are_dumb/ http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/commercials_are_dumb/#When:07:25:19Z I don’t view a lot of commercials because I don’t watch much television and what television that I do watch is normally pre-recorded on the DVR so that I can fast forward through them.  However, I was watching “live” television tonight and this commercial was aired: What. The. Fuck?  Now, I don’t know what the hell the people at Purina People Chow (Jack In the Box, you see, the chain of restaurants used to be owned by Ralston Purina..makers of Puppy Chow and Dog Chow and Cat Chow....thus, they are referred to by me as Purina People Chow ) were thinking when they approved this commercial, but I think it is slightly disturbing and WAY annoying.  In fact, Jack In the Box had another annoying commercial a few years back.  It featured a bologna eater (you see, I refer to single men who have crappy, dirty cars or those who wear sweat pants as bologna eaters because no one in their right mind would ever have a crappy, dirty car or wear sweat pants unless they were single and nearing middle age losers with crappy jobs, thus meaning they ate stupid, cheap food like bologna sandwiches as they trotted along in their WoW game in their mother’s basement) anyway...it was this guy who was eating this huge-ass burger and shit was dripping off of it and he was making slurpy sounds and eating like a bologna eater would eat (in my imagination) which is all loud and messy and without a fork and knife or napkin. Anyway.  I hate Jack in the Box commercials.  Though their breakfast burritos are kinda good even if they do have potatoes in them.  And their tea is good...but not as good as McDonald’s iced tea.  Completely Random Crap 2008-09-29T07:25:19-08:00 http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/whats_in_a_name/ http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/whats_in_a_name/#When:06:06:53Z Today I was shocked.  I was reduced to only blinking at someone because of the ignorance which they displayed right in front of me right into my ear. A woman that I know casually told me that she was not voting for Barack Obama because of his name.  *blink blink blink* Then she goes on to say, “You know, that name.  I don’t trust it.  I mean they say he isn’t, but I just can’t know.  I mean, his father was.” *blink blink blink* A NAME?  You aren’t voting for someone because of a name?  I’m not voting for Barack Obama because I don’t agree with most of what he says...not because of his race, his gender, what he had for breakfast, what color his tie is, whether or not he is regular, what religion he is or is not, how many socks he owns or his name. I was floored, y’all.  I didn’t know what to say.  I couldn’t even pretend like I didn’t know what she was trying to say.  All I could do was blink.  I mean, I live in the People’s Republic of California.  Peace, love, equality for all...and the rest of that happy horse shit.  I really hate ignorance.

Here is the link to my Etsy shop...if y’all are ever interested in buying some of these cards that I slave away hours and hours to make.  (Okay, maybe not that long...but some are at least an hour!) And yes, I will ship to other places besides the US and Canada.  I gotta find a cheap place to buy mailing envelopes so I can reduce the shipping price.  Obviously the ones that are more time consuming or have more “product” on them are more than the less fancy ones.  They all come with an envelope but be aware...if you plan to mail the card to someone, you will have to pay additional fees to the postal person...because of the bulk of the card. ANYway… Here is a sample of what I have in my shop: Everyday Stuff 2008-09-21T03:53:38-08:00 http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/guess_who/ http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/guess_who/#When:00:26:31Z I’ve been wasting tons of time today with Yearbook Yourself.  LOL! So, I went through my Flickr friends list and chose a few at random.  Can you guess who they are?    Some worked well and other fell far short.  heh >br> Funnies 2008-08-31T00:26:31-08:00 http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/i_would_kill_for_a_good_haircut/ http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/i_would_kill_for_a_good_haircut/#When:07:42:04Z Okay, maybe not kill.  BUT I MIGHT...depending on the day...you know how it is.  ANYway, I cannot seem to find a decent hairstylist.  Anywhere!  California does not have good hairstylists...or something.  The last time I went, the girl was like...afraid to cut my hair.  Like she would cut AT THE AIR ABOVE MY HEAD (not really, but she hardly cut any.) And the time before that, the bitch gave me a MULLET.  I swear to you.  My hair looked like a mullet.  This is why I no longer bother with styling my hair.  Why take the time to style my hair when it is going to look crappy because of a horrid cut?  You can’t hide a bad cut with styling.  I don’t care how Shear Genius you are.  I seriously am considering going to Supercuts.  Because it can’t be any WORSE than what I’m paying $65 for at a regular stylist. Anyway...anyway!  So I haven’t shared a foot picture with you guys lately.  Oh wait.  Have I shared any foot pictures with you?  I’m sure I have but maybe you don’t know the story....so....here it is.  Wherever I go and whomever I’m with at the time, I must take a photograph of my feet.  We usually try to pick cool spots like the beach in Kauai where the chick “washed that man right outta her hair” and the place in Boston where they did that massacre thinggy.  I have a whole collection of them from all over the place.  So, I was thinking the other day that I don’t have a good foot picture from here in my house....sooo....I leave you with my latest foot picture.  Notice the unpainted piggies?  Yeah, why bother when they’re crammed inside a closed toe shoe like we’re required to wear at work.  Yeah, like dropping those BIG HEAVY GIGANTOR pills on them is going to hurt them.  Actually, some of the bottles of pills at the pharmacy are kinda big.  The ones that we fill a lot of come in BIG HEAVY GIGANTOR bottles before we divvy them up into eency bottles and sell them to people for a bazillion dollars or whatever it costs for a prescription drug these days.

Then there is shampoo from London, Paris, New York, Tokyo, Los Angeles.  Oh yeah, because that helps my decision making.  Thanks.  Why not shampoo from Cleveland or Rancho Cucamonga? AND THEN there are endorsements...endorsed by Allure Magazine, Glamour magazine, 4x4 Trucks magazine, Photography magazine....I even saw one that said, “Endorsed by blondes.” Well THAT is a rousing fucking endorsement, eh?  I just wanted shampoo that doesn’t stink so much it makes me want to die.  I just wanted a shampoo that says, “CLEANS YOUR HAIR AND DOESN’T MAKE IT FALL OUT.” For the record, I went with John Frieda Sheer Blonde shampoo and conditioner because it smelled the best.  EVEN THOUGH I don’t have blonde hair.  I’m such a rebel.

I don’t care that they’re pink.  I’d rather be boiled in oil than to wear panties that look like men’s underwear.  I’m a FEMALE.  I prefer my panties to look like panties.  I just find those so disturbing. 2008-07-31T16:16:57-08:00 http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/hard_decision/ http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/hard_decision/#When:06:56:50Z Not really.  But kind of. What I’m talking about is that I am now qualified for an extension in my unemployment benefits.  The thing is?  I make more money from sitting at home and collecting back some of the taxes I’ve paid than I do going to my crappy little retail job.  (I told ya’ I took a GIANT cut in pay, didn’t I?!) Makes perfect sense to stay at home...doesn’t it?  Well, not really.  Because the extension is only for 3 months worth of pay and I would kinda miss those misfits that I work with there.  I’m fairly confident I could get another job Just. Like. It. but is that what I really want?  Not really.  Here is the other thing...I can collect the difference between what I’m making working my crappy little retail job and what unemployment benefits are.  So I could continue to work there and still get part of my taxes back, too.  And before someone gets on a high horse and prances down to click the comments button to tell me what sort of “OMFG LEWSUR” I am for collecting benefits, know this:  You have NO idea how MUCH we pay in taxes every year so you can fuck right off and die. Speaking of fucking right off and dying, I hope Hasbro goes bankrupt for making them take Scrabulous off Facebook.  I hear their bloated piece of shit Scrabble game sucks donkey balls on there.  I won’t be playing it.

While on the drive there, I noticed the traffic was slowing and I saw all this hay flying around.  Now, I’m not talking a hay storm here.  More like little bits of hay were blowing around as cars passed over it.  Anyway, finally about 5 miles up the road from when I first started noticing the hay, I see a giant hay truck driving at speed on the freeway.  Now, it wasn’t really blowing around much hay, but people were FUH-REEEK-KING out over it.  Swerving around it and slowing down.  I’m thinking out loud at this point because no one was in the car with me and because I was fed up, “JUST DRIVE AROUND THE EFFING HAY TRUCK, IDIOT!” Now as far as I know, hay is still sort of like...dried grass, right?  WHY it was causing these people to drive like idiots is beyond me.  Well, not really...because they are just DUMB. Again with dumb, while I was in the store today, a woman came in with her like 47 kids and they were all screaming and yelling and running around and bumping into shit all over the store.  At one point, this one started screaming like a banshee (reasons unknown) at her sister and her mother looked at ME.  Like *I* am going to do something about her child.  I am sure I had a look of shock and disgust on my face.  I will never understand why parents don’t parent their children.  Scary. Oh well.  Not everyone can be perfect like me. Bitching 2008-07-26T05:49:35-08:00
