Hey, you know what? I
had a post I was working on last week, and I never finished it, so while I knew
I was working on the blog, to you it looked like I only did one post. I can see how that looks like writer laziness, but it really, really isn’t.
I am so busy right now with work I can barely think straight, and
Stephan went on a business trip to Los Angeles last week (yuuuuuck) and got stuck there because AMERICAN AIRLINES TOTALLY SUCKS AND I DON'T EVEN CARE IF THEY ARE READING THIS, and I’ve
had a sore throat since last Thursday, and I've been taking every precaution to ensure that it doesn't develop into one of my patented Culwell fever attacks (see "lack of white blood cells" elsewhere on this blog). So, that's all
annoying. I mean—seriously—so annoying. I’ve been gargling Apple Cider Vinegar taking tons of Vitamin C and "resting" even though I hate to do that, and even though The Fever hasn't struck, the sore throat seems to be hanging on, so if you have any ideas please let me know. I
suppose it would probably be worse if I hadn’t been trying to beat it, but
still, it’s got me in a grumpy mood. Wah, wah, wah.
Also, since I'm grumpy and "resting" and flipping channels, I’m sort of baffled by this series of commercials for the
Motorola Backflip—the one where the guy is dressed up like a newscaster, and
he’s reporting these totally inane headlines like “The Search is On For Cute
Boots” and “Local Man Has Just Enrolled in Karate.” Isn’t this sort of an indictment of the fact
that we (as a society) have all this technology, and that we are just using it
to monitor what everyone is having for lunch and when they’re walking their
dogs? I’m just saying—how is this
supposed to motivate me to use the very technology that they are mocking? This
piece of advertising has a mixed message, and I don’t appreciate it.
Speaking of advertising that has too much going on, I think
I’ve mentioned before that regional advertising cracks me up so much, and
finally I was able to locate this one on YouTube, just for you. It's the Spanish market one so it doesn't have the puppets or the pseudo-"Sex and the City" theme song, but still- ALOT going on, right?
That's it. Send me healing vibes, would you? My throat– it burns! I can't think straight!
