so. seems as of late, college-aged brats have a thang for swatches. i've noticed so many dorm rooms with paint samples lying listlessly about. must be the lack of places to use them. i dunno. but i, too, am guilty of such, and thought i'd share some especially insipid colour nomikers with my beloved fan base.
the greens: seed pod, galapagos, african grass, spring grassland, ile-de-france, carpathian green, mossy citadel, colloquial, pesto, rosemary green, peapod green, winter spinach
the violets: stylish plum, purple heart, baroque plum, dark plum, potpurri jar, mixed berries, plum cabaret, victorian garnet (jeesh, how many variations on 'plum' can a girl have?!)
the teals a la 80's: montego teal, pamela teal, lagoon green, jamaican dream
the blues: blue lilac, titan blue, viking ship, klondike blue, cloudless sky, sausalito, blueprint, yorktown blue
the fleshtones: peach bisque, alpenglow, angelique
my fave, the reds: coral rose, climbing honeysuckle, rose petal, late tomato, red pepper, begonia, confetti fanfare, providence peach, tobacco, rainbow bridge, scorpionfish, tundra flower, arizona sky, summer solstice, encrusted coral, tile red
so, if this were a perfect world, i'd adorn my online journal in late tomato, pesto, and cloudless sky, with touches of alpenglow for refinement. *sigh*
but seriously, how fun would it be to grow up and have the job of naming things like paint colors, nail polish shades, neighborhoods, and streets? dang. right after painting my nails a splendiferous one-up green, i'd go cruisin along Gauche Boulevard in Daskalwood, looking for a house on the market in a scrumptious shade of clam chowder. wow. i could so do this, and succeed.
speaking of politics...
so, am i the only one who finds the obvious politiking and campaign-strategy behind the "my man mitch" slogan annoying? those giant bright green signs in people front yards along 37 were bothering me. none of those people have ever referred to mitch daniels as "their man" with such endearing tones outside the run for the govenor's office. jeesh. i mean, yeah i'm still going to vote for him as a good reagan baby would, but i'm not going to like it. using some simple alliteration in a 3-word slogan aimed at making me feel like mitch daniels likes the little people is not fooling me. he's only getting my vote for being on the republican ticket.
holy crap, now i've done it. now i've fudged the bucket and told you too many words to know.
this is not an open invitation to discuss my ideas and convictions in politics. don't try to sell me on the democrats, or "open my mind" to new ideas. REAGAN BABY. WITH A VENGANCE. i vote according to my knowledge and convictions, and i'm satisfied. so step off!
incidently, my step father works for the governor, who is currently joe kernan. oh yeah, guess what. I VOTED FOR FRANK O'BANNON. democrat, yes. but then he died. anyways, mark says someone made joe kernan trim his eyebrows. bout freaking time.
current mood:
geeky
