Boar wild over this?

As I was working this afternoon I came across a pop up ad that made me click to see what the heck was going on.

They got me. I'm fine with that.

What is really odd, though, is they admit to the random basis for the design of this vehicle:

If I'm understanding the super cool Kia website correctly, they've based the design of this vehicle on wild African boars. In fact, during the jazzy demo they show a comic drawing of a backpack 'strapped' to the top of a wild boar to emphasize the deliberate approach they took to this vehicle.

Two words: butt ugly.

Or maybe boar ugly?

Either way, they've been priced to move, and I have already seen several of them on the streets of Albuquerque.

Where oh where has our sense of style gone is all I want to know.

Is that snarky of me?

    Actually, the fact that they designed it after African boars makes me like it. Who designs a car after a mean, ugly, tusky wild animal? It gives it a certain charm, I think.

    Good point. I hadn't thought of that...

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

What do you wear in Austin in October??

It's suppose to be in the 80's during the day, and only in the 70's at night. It's humid. I'm not sure what to pack. For once I'm attending a conference instead of having a booth at the tradeshow and networking that way. It's going to be good...to be in the classroom, listening to what people are caring about now. I look forward to it. But I'm spending way too much time worrying about whether jeans are too hot, capris are too cliche, clogs are passe, should I just go with a theme and be done with it, and all that crap. Seriously, you'd think I have better things to waste mental energy on, right? Apparently not so much.

Stormy Tuesday, with a chance of showers too....

The emotions, to say they're wildly fluctuating would be an exaggeration, but they are certainly not balanced and I am so not centered and I'm finding it really hard to maintain my train of thought and I'm now even more worried about my son moving to Abu Dhabi now that they're further limiting Blackberry communications, and my daughter has a stomach bug. But other than that, everything's cool in my world. Son heads to Abu Dhabi this Saturday, early evening my time. Daughter heads to Providence, RI, this Saturday, before lunch. Hubby just informed me we're committed to a dinner at his department head's house Saturday night for a 'casual evening with the new headmaster and his wife.' Are you kidding me? WTF? Of all the things I want to be doing Saturday night, I'm pretty sure schmoozing with the new guy (hub's boss for hell sake) is NOT on the list. My list looks more like this: Take a nap after first wave of absolute searingly...
