Who do you think their target audience was...?

I love this commercial.

Daily grumble

So, I start back to school next month. One of my first classes is algebra. I realized I probably would have been completely screwed if I hadn't had to assist my 8th grade daughter lately with her algebra.

Stuck in my head

For anyone who's ever heard the Carmina Burana, the iconic song "O Fortuna" will stay with you forever and you will constantly be noting when it is used in movies and commercials. We went and saw it performed by the Wichita Symphony Orchestra some years ago and our daughter, Marisa, still hums or sings the tune occasionally. A friend of our sent a link to a "literal" transcription of the song in the form of a flash movie.

Wait...what?

Someone apparently was watching EWTN when their meds wore off.

Holy crap!

Only 58 days left until Christmas! I better get moving!

That is methed up.

Did anyone else realize that Nyquil stopped making Nyquil-D?  The old fashioned formula?  They didn't want to mess with the behind-the-counter requirements that go along with the "D" which was pseudophedrine-HLC, the decongestant.  (Thanks meth-heads!)  Nyquil is now just about as effective as cough syrup.  Thankfully, the generic brand is still being produced. My bi-annual sinus explosions would suck without good old fashioned sudafed.

Icon...FTW!

Such a small stupid piece of jewelry for the blog.  Such a horrendous pain in the butt.

***UPDATE***

I also found a way to make it show up as the button if you bookmark it on an iPhone.

Stand by...

I'm doing a little restructuring and house-cleaning on the blog and all hell may very well break loose for a brief period.  You may have already noticed a few design updates like the profile badge and the date headers.

This is the most brilliant thing I've seen this year.

Hiatus

Sorry for the dead-air time.  Some pressing matters called my attention elsewhere and didn't leave much room for the fluffy things in life.  Now, back to our regularly scheduled program...

Hallmark moment

Occasionally, I get these emotional high days and get kinda sappy. So, bear with me.

Epiphany

With this new diet, the thought just occurred to me:

I will never get my money's-worth from a buffet again.
