Commercial Thoughts

As in, these are the sort of things that have come to mind now that I'm watching a lot more TV than I have for the last couple of years.

~ "A ground-breaking 14-year study done by our dog food company proves that our dog food is the best food to give to your dog!" Hmmmmmm . . . does it occur to no one else that this study might be a *teensy* bit biased?

~ Absolutely loving discovering exactly why the "Lacey is allowed to watch Friends" policy at my parents' house was more on-again-off-again than Ross and Rachel themselves. On the one hand, it's not that surprising. On the other . . . pretty sure I wouldn't have gotten most of the jokes that were the reason it sometimes became un-allowed. And the fact remains that the night of the series finale will go down in history as one of the best nights of my life. For many reasons, most of them not related to Friends (though some are). But that is a story for another day . . .

~ If massage therapy is as lucrative as you say it is, how come you people not only haven't retired and started paying people to give you massages instead, but you're also doing ads to sell it as a lucrative job? Convincing me FAIL.

~ "Your body can tell you're pregnant before you can." Well I certainly HOPE so!! Can you imagine - (this is your body speaking) "whoa man, what the crap is going on down there?! There's, like, this weird bunch of cells that just appeared out of nowhere . . . and now they're attached . . . and multiplying!! What is it?!?! How are we supposed to know what it is? Wait . . . hold on . . . we're peeing on a stick for some reason . . . hold on . . . OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So that's what that's all about!!!!!!!!!! Huh. Good to know. Better start, like, providing nutrients and stuff for it!"

Seriously. Do they think women are that stupid?

Don't answer that.

~~~Random related tangent: so we're having this . . . No-Longer-Homemaking-And-Also-No-Longer-Enrichment-So-I-Have-No-Idea-What-To-Call-It Night for RS this week, and it's all about babies and pre-/post-natal health and just basic stuff that apparently one should know but doesn't come naturally the way "don't drop the baby" does . . . anyway. They handed out invitations at church today. Pink card stock, blue ribbon attached to a pregnancy test, and it was all cute-sey-fied and Utah-fied saying "We're POSITIVE you'll have a good time . . . " blah, blah, blah. Clever, I will admit. Very clever. That said, my first thought was: is this an invitation, a hint, or a guilt trip? I laughed, so clearly its purpose was served. And I'm sure it'll come in handy sooner or later.

~ I am more excited to see the Watson vs. Ken Jennings showdown on Jeopardy than I should be willing to admit. What can I say, I've been a nerd pretty much since I could talk. This is gonna be awesome. Epically awesome.

~ I still think KJAZZ is the dumbest name for a TV station ever. Sooooooooo not growing on me, even though it's the only channel I watch aside from the history channel. And occasionally Wipeout. Because it's also epically awesome.

So there you have it. Now, enough with the thinking and back to the stitching! :-)

P. ost S. cript
Speaking of EPIC!!!!!!!!!! I will never be this good. Most days, I am resigned to that. Then there are the days where I see videos like this, and I feel like such a slacker. But seriously - HOLY TWENTIETH POSITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
