Busy day
This is going to be a busy busy day but I don't have anything specific to do for a wee bit first. We're driving to Alabama for a presentation, so I have a six-ish hour journey there and back on top of two hours of meetings. And when I come home I'll pretty much have to turn around again and head back out as I have a birthday party to go to. I mean, I'm looking forward to the party and all, but this is going to be a long-ass day.
And the first bummer of the day: my new underwear is cutting into my hips and it hurts. Yay for wearing them 10 (?) more hours! This IS the first time I've bought a bag 'o panties, and I think I might live to regret it. By the way, I totally threw in the "panties" there as a shout-out to my girl L, soon to be in Astoria, Queens. I love trying to sound all hip-hop, I know it makes me sound as black as Vanilla Ice, also a shout-out. Hee. Don't mind me, I'm just entertaining myself here.
By the way, I don't know if everyone is aware of my status as a TAR lover, TAR standing for [i]the Amazing Race[/i], of course. Well, I had recorded shows stacking up on the DVR and the Replay like airplanes around Hartsfield (like my bad metaphor there? Hee.) so when H wanted to put on some spaceships last night I made him choose a show so I could get through the backlog. So we jumped into TAR Family Ediition, even though both of us were strangely reluctant to watch it in case TPTB fucked the show up. It was okay, except that some of the families needed to be shot. Annoying is not a strong enough word. Aiiii. Anyway, the high point for me was the unfortunately named "Black Family" who, sadly, were the only African-American team on the show. H and I giggled like 12 year olds every time they were called the "Black Family."
"There goes the Black family!"
"Go Black family!"
I was really bummed they were last — their little boys are adorable, but I'm really not convinced there should be kids on this — but I still giggled when Phil was all solemn with his "Black family, you're the last team to arrive".
Y'all: that's just WAY too close to Token Black on South Park. And, by the way, the fact that only ONE team recognized Kevin and Drew at the hot dog stand reaffirms my belief that they're all idiots. God, you need to study the old episodes if you're going on the show! Really. I'm serious. (And Kevin and Drew were awesome, even on the GSN reruns. Love them.) This is one show it helps to study upfront before going on it. Ignorant racers are always the worst.
What?
