the snarkadays are upon us.
okay, so here's the dumbest thing i've seen in awhile. seriously? $220 for that? i mean, who would (a) buy it? and (b) wear it?
the most annoying holiday commercial thus far this season? that freaking hallmark card commercial with the mom and her two kids in an airport that's obvious been forced to close due to weather issues. flights are cancelled, the gate area is crowded with grumpy travellers, and the lights in the airport are apparently not working right, making reading impossible. and the cocktail bars in the terminal are apparently closed or out of liquor, thus crowding adults of the legal drinking age & above into the aforementioned crowed gate area. what would obviously make sober grown folks happy with glee and delight in the midst of travel interruption? an annoying ass mom popping open a package containing a toy that plays a grating holiday song over and over and over and over.
uhm, as someone who travels often? hell no. talk about opening up the opportunity to get yourself killed in front of your small children, thus ensuring their holiday nightmares til the day they die - not to mention a lot of expensive therapy.
crowded gate + cancelled flight + no bar in sight + hours upon hours of sitting does not = happy slappy time with a hallmark gift.
but hey! for the first time in like 100 years, the uni is closed today due to snow! and this is in a place where snow in winter is the norm, nothing unusual. score! til, you know, it's time to shovel the driveway.
who else is ready for stella to get back to her snark? excuses, excuses. what? moving into a house is time consuming and a pain? please. i really want stella to get back mostly because of a blog entry draft she has waiting in the queue entitled 'horsemeat and stemcells.' you know that's got to be good.

Okay, I'll admit it. I miss Stella. Come back Stella, come back.
Nice snarkage! I detest that Hallmark commercial.
As for the satin shrug, well, I guess if you'd put $220 down on something like that, "shrug" in the name is appropriate.
Somehow that winter coat-inspired shrug seems like a bigger ripoff for its real estate than skimpy underwear. Women's clothing has to be one of the few arenas in life where less product = a higher pricetag.
