fascinating discoveries

things i’ve discovered thus far today:

i’m a big, giant sappy sucker for christmas commercials. not just any christmas commercials, but the ones where the family can’t be together and somehow they magically manage to make it home just in time for the holiday celebration. those ones choke me up everytime.

i am smarter than all of the people on the WWF version of the weakest link. despite this i found the big lunk called the big show with the deep sexy voice oddly attractive.

along the same lines i think the lead singer of smash mouth is sexy.

well, that’s all i’ve discovered thus far. soon i will discover if those nestle toll house cookies with caramel inside are any good. expect a consumer report shortly.

RE: sappy Christmas commercials… me too. I got choked up over that JC Penney commercial over the weekend. I am such a sap.

Things I Want to Tell You

I am celebrating my independence by sitting around in my pajamas until noon. [+]

The only thing the Slate piece on overused catchphrases is missing is how we really, really need to ditch douche. [+]

The best line I've read all damn day: "you can see from these photos that i was dressing like the secretary of the indigo girl's fan club, but not living the part." [+]

Joe Henry in the LA Times on Music's Literary Side. It's really good until he mentions Alice Munro (barf). [+]

You should go listen to this NPR interview with Liz Phair on the 15th Anniversary of Exile in Guyville. Go listen, now. Seriously. Go. She talks about the whole Exile on Mainstreet/Guyville thing. It's fascinating. [+]

Could The Deets be any cuter? No, no he couldn't be. [+]
