Stuff

So yesterday I was hanging out with Eddie and Jess and we got a phone call informing us that Toby Keith (country artist, for those stupid people) was filming a music video a few minutes away. So we jumped in the car and headed over. Didn't see much except for his monster FORD truck, some trailers, lights, camera people...and a huge lime green screen. They were filming in an empty house. Actually the garage of an empty house. Never saw Toby, but it was sort interesting anyway. I don't even really care for Toby's voice, I just wanted to see how a music video was made. Have to say it was pretty boring. I found the catering van to be the most interesting thing there. What does that say?

Moving on...stopped at a red light today, I looked over into the car next to me, and saw something that made me laugh. No, the person was not picking their nose. Just for the record though..how many people do you actually think do that? I mean it's not like they aren't surrounded by glass and hundrends of onlookers. 'Cmon people..we can still see you! Seriously I want some real numbers here. Take a guess. I bet it's more men than women. Uh oh..I just opened up a can of worms didn't I? Well, unless since men feel more comfortable picking their nose in public they have no need to do it in the car. That's just it though...in the car is still sorta PUBLIC. Don't ya think?

Anyway, back to what I saw. This lady had 15 pine tree air freshners hanging from her rear view mirror. I counted them! Then I noticed a slightly smaller stash hanging from her turn signal stick thingy. What do you call that? Anybody know? Well anyway, who needs that many? Really? She didn't look like a particularly smelly person. Ya know those people? You can tell they haven't had a shower since like right before Woodstock. I haven't been able to stop thinking about this. I mean, does she collect these things? Have you ever heard of someone saying they collect car air freshners? And further more, what would you say to someone who had just admitted this to you in a conversation, oh say at a party? "Oh...that's interesting. I have an Aunt who collects room spray!" Seriously, where do you go from there? I think at this point I would have to use one of those signals that you work out with a friend before you get to the party. Ya know, like running your fingers through your hair, or scratching your elbow. When your friend sees you doing one of these actions they walk up and say something like.."Leah, your mother is on the phone. Or...Leah, your plane for Zimbabwe leaves in 10 mins." That's always a good one. It sounds like you're NEVER coming back. I'm not making this up. I have used these things on several occasions. Okay, maybe not the Zimbabwe thing, but everything else. It's saved me from being bored to death too many times to count. I probably shouldn't have told you this. Now, you're all going to be looking for me to run my fingers through my hair or scratch my elbow. Someone will get offended and I will have to make up some grand apology for seriously scratching my elbow while talking to you. When really I WAS JUST SCRATCHING MY ELBOW!
