Vacation

So, I've been on vacation for the last week.  My destination?  My house.  More specifically, my bedroom.  First, I spent 2 days painting it a nice warm Wendy's Frosty color.  Then, I got sick.  I thought it was just a cold and tried to tough it out -- but I broke down today and saw a doctor.  I'm not sure if I feel better or worse that my play days were wiped out by bronchitis -- but I do wish I could have a do-over of my last 5 days.  I hope to God that the guy I sat next to at the Hurricanes game yesterday doesn't get sick too.  It's bad enough that they lost -- it would just suck to get sick on top of that. 

 

Going back to work tomorrow is going to be so hard!

Head Over Heels

Another good Go-Go's song gone bad. I think this one was shampoo. When I was much, much younger I used to play air piano when listening to this Go-Go's album on my record player. I think I had to be less than 10 years old. How did things go so wrong?

We Got the Beat

Can I just say how disturbing it is that advertising executives have hijacked a ton of the songs I grew up with and use them in commercials? Some of them are just so bizarre. I just saw a Papa John's commercial that changed the words to an 80's classic to "We Got the Meat." That's just bad. Not too long ago HP used a Cure song, to my continued disbelief. I'd love to know how that pitch went. "We know you are one of the touchstones of a generation but we think "Pictures of You" would really help us sell printers. You in?"
