23 May
So I spent the day yesterday doing web work and watching VH1 Behind the Music and washing a week's worth of dishes and doing a load of laundry. Since that's my usual Sunday routine, I feel as though I'm getting an extra weekend day!
I updated No Spring Chicken and Funny Pages for the first time since like February. Yes, I think that the last time I updated it, I mentioned here that I had updated it, got a bunch more requests, then left them to rot for three months.
So, you journallers over the age of thirty or those who write amusing journals, let me know if you want to be added and be prepared to be patient!
And you candidates for Funny Pages, stop being so damn modest! There are alot more people who really are funny than those that want to admit to me that they think they are funny. I won't think that you are being self-centered, I promise!
I have decided that the worst commercials on TV are the ones for Colonial Williamsburg.
For those of you not on the East Coast (or not in the States at all) Colonial Williamsburg is this sort of historic theme park, where you visit this town where they pretend that it's 1776 or whatever. The key word being "pretend".
My point being that in the commercials they have things like a Colonial Williamsburg little girl playing with a stick and hoop and asking a modern little girl if she wants to play with it, and the modern girl uses it as a hula hoop as the Colonial Williamsburg girl looks on in wonderment. Because she has never seen a hula hoop, you see, what with her living back in 1776 and stuff.
I'm not entirely certain why I find this so infuriating, but besides the fact that they probably don't have children working there, the Colonial Williamsburg people don't actually live in the past! They are employees! You are not going in a time machine when you visit, you know.
I just honestly find the commercials so pandering that they drive me to drink.
On the other hand, I found Michael's rant on the Gap commercials hilarious, because the exact reasons that he hates them are the reasons that I love them.
I don't much pay attention to the Khaki Country commercial, but I love and adore Khaki A-Go-Go, which is beautifully choreographed using almost every mid-sixties dance in thirty seconds with dancers appearing and re-appearing.
And then, there's Khaki Soul.
In Khaki Soul, there are more kids dancing, and my favourite is this dark-haired girl in a grey tank top that waves her breasts enthusiastically at the camera with her hands on her hips while sort of sneering/smiling. I love this girl. I want to be this girl. She is who I really am, inside.
Don't knock my Inner Slut, say I!
She'd never date a guy for a year without really dating him! She's too cool for that.
You know, yesterday would have been our anniversary, if we actually had ever been dating!
Today's horoscope:
You are more practical about people today (but don't turn people into a "chore" or burden). You can improve a relationship.
One year ago today:
I shanghaied Nik and we saw Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
