So, I don’t consider myself a feminist by any means. However, today, standing in my mother-in-law’s kitchen I was outraged. We were watching parts of “A Few Good Men” to correctly identify the color of Tom’s apartment, which is to be duplicated in her kitchen. Then the scene came…Jack yelled, “What I do want is for you to stand there in you faggity white uniform and extend me so freakin’ courtesy” or so the original script reads. However, in its stead they substituted “girly” to make it TV appropriate. Is it less offensive to insult over 50% of the population? Or because “girly” has been used as an insult for generations it’s now okay? It’s clear why “faggity” would be offensive, I am not argueing that. I just cannot comprehend how changing the gender and target group makes it TV appropriate. Why not stupid or ugly? When did I consent to take the fall whenever someone else’s feelings might be hurt? That’s right, I didn’t. You fail TV censoror, complete fail.

My Like List, going hand-and-hand with my DO NOT LIKE LIST!
Super quick, I just have to say...I am really excited for "New Moon" to come out! However, I cannot stand Kristen Stewart. I absolutely cannot stand her!! So annoying, her voice, her mouth, her overall face...FAIL!
Taylor on the other hand...He is with my other most favorite Taylor. Taylor Swift! Love them!! Too bad Kristen is in "New Moon."
Also, I heard on the radio about a little squabble between Sarah Palin and Levi Johnson (the pig the impregnated her underage child). Seriously, he said "She underestimates me..." as if he is a threat?! What a dweeb. Oh my gosh. Sarah Palin is not anything too special in my book, however, this little wannabe, Levi, is getting on my nerves. He thinks he is cool. Really?!
I will say, if she is paying Levi to insight this drama, it's working. I want to read about it in her book! HA HA! Going Rogue...her book, I am intrigued.
Ahh, Robert's...
So, cool story. The other night, my friend and co-worker, Nicole, and I went to the craft store. Clearly Robert's is the best in town so that's where we headed. Nicole needed to pick out some Christmas paper to make the Christmas count down blocks and I tagged along for moral support. My husband was going to pick me up from Roberts on his way home (it's right on the way). So, Nicole and I finished our shopping and headed outside to wait for my hubby.
It was 6:07pm (funny how things sear into your memory...). As we were talking, all of the sudden, there was a really loud crash/scrap/breaking noise. I turn around towards Orem Blvd. and I was like, "what just happened?" Nicole was like, "that car just hit the motorcycle!"
It was already dark so everything was just kind of black. We were only like fifty feet away so we started walking and then running over there. We were the first on the scene! We went to the motorcyclist and he was like half kneeling on the ground. Luckily he was ok, what we would have done if he was really hurt...no clue. So I talked to the guy asking him if he were ok and all that jazz. His shoe had been knocked off so I grabbed it for him, BUT before I touched anything I asked him if he wanted me to take pictures (thank you CSI/Law and Order SVU) he said no. Kind of sad, I wanted to be cool. :( So, I gave him his shoe. Nicole found his glasses. And then I started directing traffic. Nicole had to hold up the girl's dumper so she could pull in the turn lane. Her dumper was practically torn off her car.
By the way, Nicole and I were running on adrenalin completely. Dang. Unreal.
So, as we are doing this, another APX employee shows up! Protecting families, on and off the clock! He had been behind the driver of the car. He help the motorcyclist pick up his HUGE motorcycle that was lying in the road. Nicole and I started gathering broken glass and car/motorcycle parts out of the road. The police arrived and it was all over.
5 minutes.
Seriously.
So much happened...yikes. Scary. Crafts and car accidents, who would have known.
ps. We decided it was most likely the motorcyclists fault in the accident. And, he was not wearing a helmet.
