illiterate businesses.

i hate them. it's been happening a lot more recently, too. i know that everyone messes up sometimes but if you're putting a huge sign outside of your business or place of work then you should either make sure the person you have making the sign can spell OR let someone else do it who CAN spell.

example #1: on my way home from school the past week i passed a little shop that was a clothing store and is now being taken over by a beauty salon. there were about 5 signs out on the windows, the sidewalk, and the door. all of them saying the same thing, all of them misspelled. the signs read, "NEW BEATY SALON COMING SOON." beaty, really? i wouldn't trust them with my cosmetic needs.

example #2: in temecula, there is a lovely little place called old town and it is where my mother lives. the place is laced with little shops that sell things people would never buy, including lawn ornaments. overpriced lawn ornaments to be exact. i guess they were having a summer sale and they decided to leave it up to an idiot to hang the huge clearance banner. but someone spelled it "CLEARENCE" and it bugged the shit out of me the whole time i was there.

there's this website called illiteratebusinesses.com and it has a bunch of pictures of stupid signs by stupid people.

off to enjoy the rain now. :)

totally worth the 54.99, which i didn't pay. thank you baby! (christmas present from the boyfriend). i've been wanting this game for a while, and it's the cutest, most addicting game i've ever played. the narration is so lovely and the "sackboys" are adorable. i'd definitely recommend this game to anyone.

off to play! :)

nobody pees in la.

my most recent vist to hollywood ended with a surprise. as me and the boyfriend were walking back to the car he realized his bladder was full and he wanted to relieve himself. he targeted on a specific bush lining the sidewalk. there were a few cars driving up and down the street but there was no major traffic so it seemed like a good idea. but something told me not to let him pee there, so i begged him not to. instead, i decided to throw my half-full coffee in the bush. after what seemed like a millisecond later, a raspy, deep voice screamed from the bush, "HEYYY!" a head poked out and it was an angry bum. i would be angry too if someone just threw cold coffee on me and my home. bodeck told me to run, so i did, thinking the bum was going to chase us to the car and stab us with a sharpened toothbrush or a plastic knife. i don't think i've ever run so fast, but i'm not surprised i did because if you have ever seen the bums in la, you'd do the same. i literally almost shit my pants, but the whole ordeal was a big joke once we got safely in the car after locking all of the doors. so what did i learn from this experience?: the next time i litter, i'll make sure i look where i throw. he's lucky it wasn't a lit cigarette.
