sunday (yesterday) i did something that i don't usually do: i sat on my ass in front of the tv [and watched tv] the entire day. i got sucked into this stupid "the lottery changed my life" mini-series on tlc which was pretty entertaining, but the ads during the commercial breaks were all for those gold buyback programs which are pretty damn annoying. you know the ones: "i had no idea my gold jewelry was worth so much money!" here is a snippet from one of those commercials, starring possibly the most frightening woman alive. woman? i bet you already know what i'm about to show you...
and omg they totally trick you into watching the commercial because the first woman is attractive. then they pull the ol' bait and switch. oh and don't get me started on the 3rd lady - "i got more money than i ever imagined!" really. more than you could *ever* imagine? anyway now i'm getting into advertising tactics, but my point is that i'm extremely frightened by the 2nd lady. i think i'll have to check under my bed for monsters before i go to sleep.

ha!! what a fantastic commercial. it's biggest loser night. please God...make vicky go home.
driving home yesterday and listening to the radio, i thought of you while singing this..."i don't wanna be anything other than what i've been trying to be lately." conjure up any old memories?
of course, it was getting played to death over the airwaves on december 30th 2004 as we cruised the mean streets of kansas city. and then andy called us the next day to wish us a happy 2005. he was hoping he'd catch us in the middle of a naked pillow fight. ok well that's what *i* remember :)
I hate this commercial...
and what sucks is people do this and probably get a check for like $1.50 hoping for like $150!
