Dreams

Could the whacked out crazy dreams be stopping now? I know it has to do with hormones or the fact that I'm drinking too much caffeine again or something, but really, last night's dream where I married Bill Engvall (that was the tame part) was a bit much.

I'd like to go back to normal sleeping now, thanks.

Super Bowl Ads

A discovery was made last night after work that solidified the Coke Parade Floats ad as the best one from the Super Bowl. A coworker and I were watching it on his computer and discussing why it was good, but not great. He was on the side of "it's great". I was saying "solid but not over the top fantastic". My reasoning was that it was cute and nostalgic, but it lacked punch. The right punch, in my view, would have been a Lucy taking the Coke from Charlie Brown at the end.

All of a sudden, during the third viewing of the ad (we're like that - the fun of working in advertising), my coworker went "Oh my god!". One frame we hadn't even noticed during the ad, the scene right after we first get a glimpse of Charlie Brown's head over the top of a building...is of a little girl holding a football. They had a Lucy! It was subtle, but it was just enough to make that ad the best in our book.

American Gladiators

This show is pure cheese. Pure enjoyable cheese.

And it's sad to say but...Titan is kind of cute. He's goofy as hell and doesn't seem to take it all too seriously. (Unlike Toa, who needs a reality check that his "I'm so intense" stare is just annoying the hell out of me. He ain't The Rock. His cousin has a much better grasp on showmanship and how to keep it tongue in cheek.)
New Year's Resolutions

*bounces around* On my list for today was "decide what I'll be doing for February". Then I opened my email and found that I'd gotten something from the zoo on training for volunteers. Yay! So I go to training Feb. 16th. *dances around*
Things That Are Awesome

1. Harold and Kumar 2 comes out April 25.

2. American Idol and House are on tonight, thereby providing viewing alternatives to the neverending Super Tuesday coverage. (I live in NC. I don't get to vote in primaries until May 6. Yeah, as if there'll BE a primary by then. So I want alternatives.)

3. Penzeys has garam masala. You too can make vegetable masala at home!
