the tv is the debo

in between working on web pages and eating, the tv is on... and for the past two days, it's been nothing but mind-numbing trash.

try as i might, i have a hard time avoiding vh1, which now, like mtv, refuses to show music videos. i got caught watching that fucking creepy show called, the pickup artist. it's creepy because of the panel of so-called expert pickup artists that they have chosen to aid the shy and awkward contestants. anyways, it's trash, and of course, i'm addicted.

i also had the pacifier on in the background for a bit. you remember that movie where vin diesel is a ex-marine, turned babysitter. well i caught the last 30 minutes or so, and so i didn't really understand how he got assigned the job, but obviously, this movie was fucking ridiculous. there's a part at the end where he has to get through a booby-trapped hallway to get to a safe with the secret microchip. kind of like indiana jones iii, he recites a kids song that describes the movements required to make it through. horrible. but i did laugh.

shit, lastly... i keep watching the comedy central roast of flavor flav. what the fuck. it's funny, but i've seen the damn thing like 5 times already.

there was some good stuff
and while we don't take much stock into the pre-season, the bears beat the colts, and looked pretty good doing so. also, michael vick is fucked, so that's good news. right now, x-files is on, and i haven't seen this one.

giving thanks

last year, erin and i spent thanksgiving at cammie's place in the city. it was an intimate gathering of cam's close friends. i made some baked mac and cheese that i was very proud of... it was delicious. but betsy broke my casserole dish on purpose, because she had her own mac and cheese she wanted everyone to eat. just kidding, but i dish really did break, and it really was betsy's doing... accidentally, on purpose. heh. anyways, this is the first thanksgiving in 5 years, that i haven't spent with erin. very strange, and sad too. i've found myself reflecting on the friendships that i've made over the past couple of years... thinking about the people who come into and out of our lives so quickly. as you may be able to tell, i'm a nostalgic little fuck. i live every day like it's a big event. i try to treat those i've just met, like they're my best friend (unless they're a complete douche bag). i get sad at the end of the night when i have...

who sings that?

so i saw this jcpenny commercial today and i noticed two things... number one, jcpenny's marketing department or the ad agency that's helping them, has been doing a great job trying to improve their image. kudos to them. number two, they've been using some great background music in their commercials. i know that regina spektor sang one of the older ones, but in the one i saw, they used the song " all that i want ", by the weepies . and by the way, i don't know if you pronounce it weep-ies, like freebies or wee-pies, like levi's . anyways, i think that if you don't watch tv a lot, you pay more attention to the commercials, and in this particular case, the soundtrack was delicious.
