Yet another snowpocalypse

Dec 18, 2009 12:54


The last three have all been wolf-crying, but this time even NOAA is saying a 100% chance of snow tomorrow.

Around here, even a dusting is a problem, since (a) they are a little shaky on the salting/plowing concept, and (b) every moron and his brother seems to think you drive in snow the same way you drive in regular conditions.

I think I will do a grocery run tonight. I need to anyway, but as the current contents of my larder are MEAT and BEETS, I could do with some more variety. Also, the cat food is down to about a week's worth. While I don't expect to be snowbound for a week, I don't believe in waiting until the last minute, either.

Shopping list:
milk
eggs
bread
(gee, I wonder what those are for...)
chips
pasta
rice
(yep, carb addict, that's me)
dish detergent

I also need socks, but the grocery store won't have those. Why are there never enough socks?

-----------------

Completely unrelated, something was pointed out to me recently, and I must agree: where are the hottie redheaded men?

I mean, redheads are not intrinsically any worse looking than brunets and blonds. Yet in the movies and TV, they are not allowed to be the Good Looking One. They can be the goofy sidekick, they can be the fierce viking warrior, the neighbor or friend, the bad guy, the random spear-carrier, etc. But red-headed men do not get to be the Hottie.

Is it just because the population of natural red-headed adults is so small to begin with, and the population of Lead Actors is equally small, that the odds of overlap are almost nil? Or is there a bias in Hollywood? Are there any actors who are naturally red-headed but who color their hair and are recognized as hottie with darker or blonder hair? (This seems to be the fate of female leads, BTW. I mean, even Julia Roberts is mostly seen as a brunette.)

oh the weather outside is frightful, random observations
