Staples Rewards, And "Nothin' DUMBER Than A Hummer."

Hello, and greetings,

On my Staples "Rewards" Card, it said, Permanent Member of the Rewards Club.

I glanced at it in the store the other day. For a brief moment, it made me feel good to have a sense of permanence about something. Yes, I am a permanent member. at least Staples loves me!

I saw the bumper sticker in a parking lot recently. Ignore the comment on the sticker at the top, which states, "Non-Violence: Weapon of Mass Compassion."
It was hard to isolate the sticker on the bottom with my iPhone.

Instead, look at the bottom statement: "Nothin' DUMBER than a HUMMER."

If you have not procured this already from my previous blog posts, I completely agree.

I am still groovin to Faux Fox, who are from Dallas, and bizarrely cool.
The CD about which I refer is from 2008. I am anxious to hear something new from them (too anxious, if there is such a thing). Click here to see a review of the very CD, dated Sept. 4, 2008 in the Dallas Observer.

Goodbye.
The End,
Alice

"God Bless You" And "It's One Of Those Fridays."

Dear all,
I overheard a girl say, today, "It's one of those Fridays." It was said by a receptionist to a person she was helping.
The woman she was talking to, who was maybe in her 30s, said, "I know. I had one of those Thursdays."
I was thinking, isn't the phrase supposed to be, "One Of Those Mondays." Or simply, "One of those days."

I am all for keeping Monday as the only terrible day of the week.

The stories never end.
One day recently I was in Parkland Hospital. Near the pharmacy, there was a man at a table with a sign that read, "Pray for You," or maybe "I Will Pray For You."

He was praying with a woman when I snapped the action shot. Although it is not the best photo--too much sunlight--I hope that you get the idea.

I wonder what they were praying about.
A few minutes later, I went up to the table to take one of the brochures the man had. He had a friend with him this time, also prayerful. The man in black gave me 2 extra brochures, then said "God Bless You."

While I'm at it, here is another image outside Parkland. It is of an "I Stand For Parkland" sign which is near the hospital:

There is no reason to post it other than I like how it turned out.

So, on to:
I do not mention large national current events, unless I have to.
In Very Unfortunately Unremarkable News, there was a shooting today in Aurora, Colorado

Goodbye.

Sincerely,
Alice

"What's Up? I Need A F****** Job."

Greetings:

While in an anonymous hospital cafeteria one morning (that's where I hang out), I overheard a woman nearby, who was on the phone.

"What's up?? I need a f****** job," she said.
From a quick glance I surmised that the woman had large arms and at least one tattoo.
And, she used the phrase "homeboy" easily.

Nevermind my dismay. Regarding the job, I am wondering if her tactic worked?

(I am enjoying Florence + The Machine. Only on the radio. Especially the song Dog Days Are Over. I know it is old.)

Goodbye. May you "heart" things. I don't know what that means,
Alice

I Thought Runners Had Class. And, Kourtney Kardashian Gives Scott A Love Bracelet. Huh.

Hello and Greetings:
While at a run earlier this week, (The Flagpole 8k in Dallas), a woman tried to pass me.
Upon realizing that I was speeding up, she began laughing.
Hot pink skirt and all.
Then when I sped up even more, she laughed in a grotesque, maniacal way and passed me.
I thought most runners had class.

Close to last weekend, I watched an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

Kourtney Kardashian

This was the best picture of Scott Disick I could find. Believe it or not, he is also a model! Thus the excited expresssion. I tried to find a good picture of them together, but it is not possible.

Since the highlight of the episode seemed to be Kourtney Kardashian giving boyfriend Scott Disick a love bracelet--Huh?--I don't think I'll be heavily watching in the future. When Kourtney wasn't sacrificing her every belief to hand over the love bracelet, viewers were watching her whiny expressions.

I saw a coupon for contact lenses that stated: Hurry! Offer ends 10-31-12.

Yes, do hurry! Only three and a half months left.

Perhaps some music-related news in the future.

The End.
Have a great Saturday,
Alice

Anderson Cooper Keeps Himself Honest and Keira Knightley: "Seriously Unwound."

Dear all,
I guess no more mentions of Anderson Cooper's cute butt. (And, this was only mentioned because it was found accidentally on the internet. honestly). He is gay. And, there is not much to comment on. (While I am slightly distraught).
Of course he is still a great journalist and reporter.

I read a review by Mark Holcomb in the Dallas Observer of the movie Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World.
Needless to say, I loved it; it would be on a north dallas homegirl What's Hot list. (Please read it!)


In the review, he calls Keira Knightley "seriously unwound" as a perky neighbor.
Very disturbing, Keira.

No fashion mistakes to report on.

May you have firework after firework tomorrow.

Choose Your Currency Preference, and Why Was Bethenny Getting Friendly With Coco's Booty?

Hi all,
I filled out an online application recently.
One of the questions was, choose the form of currency you would like to get paid in.
Hello...
I viewed the choices, then scrolled down to the appropriate choice, US dollars.

I am not sure if online applications really give a voice to the jobless.
And, Sister! I would just like to get paid.

New topic.
Bethenny is very skinny. Bethenny has a tv show. Bethenny is annoying.
I know of Bethenny because I saw that she tried to drink a glass of vodka, I believe, off of Coco's butt. The day Coco visited on her show, she did get very, uh, friendly with Coco's booty.

That day Coco discussed her bikini booty tips.
I am not sure if I trust Coco's bikini booty tips.
Nobody should, unless they want their booty to be that big.

New Edition made an appearance in Dallas this past Friday. I have missed the boat in informing you of their awesome resurgence (Who doesn't like "Cool It Now"?).
However, if you want to drive to Little Rock, you can see them at the Verizon Arena. Or, catch them in the Motor City's Chene Park on August 1.
Cool it, now.


Goodbye. Happy July 1.
Alice
