Double Standards

How is it that Sarah Palin can quip, "The only difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull is lipstick," and everyone laughs at how clever and candid she is, but when anyone else even hints at the fact that women wear lipstick, it is SEXIST! SEXIST! SEXIST!? Honestly, why didn't anyone accuse Palin of putting her gender before her policies? Why didn't they tell her that remarks like that demean women just as much as a snide remark from a male politician?

I'm NO FEMINIST. But even I used to hate Hillary for gaining her power through Bill (whom she should have left long ago, and definitely only stayed with for political reasons). But you know what? When she got that power, she became a well-respected, successful politician. In my mind, she's still not the ideal first female President, but she makes Sarah Palin look like a ditzy high school girl who fluttered her eyelashes to get enough votes for student council.

Really, the SNL skit says it all.

I've said since this time last year that Barack Obama as President would take life one step closer to living in a movie. A Sarah Palin Vice Presidency (and inevitable Presidency) would make it a nightmare.

Cavalier Commercial, ca. 1992

Does anyone remember the Chevy Cavalier jingle from around 1992? It was on in North Dakota for several year. Lyrics:

I really like it here in my Cavalier!
Cavalier is sporty, Cavalier is fun
It's easy on the gas when you're always on the run
I really like it here in my Cavalier!

Google doesn't know. YouTube doesn't know. I'm really debating digging through some VHS tapes that I recorded from the TV to try to find it.

Please help.

This is the saddest post ever.

As We Go On, We Remember

After I graduated from high school, I remember thinking how weird it was that everyone else went back without me. I wondered if they missed me or if things had changed, what the hot gossip was and how the year would play out. College isn't the same, but NSAC is.

Good luck, Chariot 2009. <3

Bullet Points

• Missed these sluts last night:


• The boy and I bought School of Rock on DVD last weekend but fell asleep before we could watch it. It was the movie we saw on our first date. In September 2003. Five years ago. Granted, we took a two-year hiatus, but still. He's not sure how he's put up with me this long, either.

• No Internet at home until Monday is the reason for the teardrops on my guitar.

Sometimes I want to blog about personal things like how I feel like this:
or how a minuscule portion of my life exists outside of advertising. So even though this blog is titled Adverlicious, it's not going to be about advertising. I'd start fresh, but the layout is already set up and it was easier than clicking CREATE NEW. So, uh, hi.
