overheard

eavesdropping for the technologically savvy

How 'come Target's fall line of clothes are all in various shades of puke? No one looks good in puke. I don't care if it's the orange, green, or pink variant.

I was at Target this evening. Their doorbell (they have one for nighttime deliveries) was going berzerk, the whole time I was there. It was cool.

Overseen:

"I am pregnant 04/06"
wall of Bunhuggers, Flagstaff.

Did someone find out they were pregnant, right there in that very stall? It's quite possible. Were they happy? Or just overwhelmed? Whoever wrote it is (making assumptions) not quite due yet... wonder how she's doing?

I went here this weekend and my calves are still sore:

    So I guess that person won't be able to say "you're the first person I told!" when she tells her boyfriend she's pregnant because a billion other random people using the bathroom in Flagstaff knew FIRST.

    That is a beautiful waterfall! Is that your picture? I'm so jealous. I haven't been hiking since Young Womens.

    God, do people still write things on bathroom walls? Don't these people have blogs?

    CC: thanks! I did take that picture. but Havasu Falls makes it easy... it's a really spectacular place.

    Z: ELEVEN DONKEEZ FOR YOU! Oof, we had to smell their poop the whole way down, though.

    7/2: lol! Someone also wrote:

    See, at least that clever graffiti.

    Okay, J., I should have heeded your warning about Chez Target, but I just felt like getting out this evening. I decided we needed some cleaning supplies, and headed on out.

    Their clothing is currently--without doubt--the saddest, ugliest, dowdiest, most shapeless, trend-following crap I've ever seen. And it's vanity-sized to the point of ridiculousness and beyond.

    Oh. And there were leg warmers. Crocheted. Leg. Warmers.

    Target. Just . . . God. Stop sucking. Thank you.

    On the plus side, they do still carry Method(TM).

    Method is the only thing you can buy in an attractive color right now at Target! Unfortunately, you can't wear it... well, you could, but you'd probably develop a rash and be arrested for public indecency.

    I don't think we got the crocheted leg warmers here in meek li'l Tempe... that's saved for you schnazzy Schottsdale folks. ;)

    The only reason the the (stereo)typical Snottsdalian would buy leg warmers is that some crowd of fashion loonies has declared them to be "IN" this season. Wait about five seconds, they'll probably go out of style as soon as the trophy wives realize leg warmers don't go with Manolos.

    Down in Tempe, they *do* have more sense than that. It's full of Uni kids. I don't remember most people having the time, money or inclination to follow fashion carefully enough to get in an eight-week leg warmer trend.

    I love Target, actually, but leg warmers - no. What's next, big poofy wave bangs that you need an ENTIRE CAN OF AEROSOL HAIRSPRAY TO STYLE? Please God no.

    **why is it that it takes me ten tries to get the word verification thing right?

    I avoid Target slightly less than Wal-Mart. While Wal-mart drives out local businesses, brings down the standard of living in its communities, only recently caved in on stocking emergency contraception, and allows its pharmacists to not dispense drugs prescribed by doctors due to the pharmacist's religious or gender bias, Target only does the latter.

    Speaking of colors, did I mention the colors available when I was car-hunting? The only 2006 Civic on the lot (before I found mine) was a color halfway between asphalt and mud. They should give a color discount!

    Ooh, and speaking of my car, I just got my vanity plates in! STARRI *grin*

    Wait a minute. I HAVE that 2006 Civic, ZP! I swear it's a mud/sand color.

    Hee.

    I got the light blue one, and vanity plates "STARRI". *grin* I wanted it spelled right (STARRY), but someone ordered it two days before me! Now I'm tempted to put glow-in-the-dark stars all over it. :-P

    Holy crap, J. I don't even remember really typing any of that. I tallied what I drank last night:

    1 very STRONG Captain and Coke
    3 glasses of Il Bastardo! wine
    1 mimosa
    1 more strong Captain and Coke

    Sheesh! Can you say toast?

    Ha! I remembered typing in someone's blog, somewhere, but it took me a while to find it. We are such creative spellers when intoxicated!
