the most obnoxious person to ever live

I really thought I had misplaced this screen capture forever. I stumbled on this listing when I was shopping for a used DVR over the summer. Last night as I was cleaning up my computer files I found it. Yay! Now we can all make fun of this guy long after his post was taken down!

It's hard to say what's worse: the all caps (which we all know is the text form of screaming), the extreme urgency and choppiness, or run on sentence that doesn't even end with a period. He must be scary and extreeeeemmmely impatient in real life.

celebrating martin luther king jr.

This morning I went to the post office and it was closed. I admit that I was annoyed at first... but then I remembered what this day means. Today we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s birth. Having grown up in the American South, his contributions hold a particular weight for me. A little known fact: his son Martin Luther King III was denied admission to the very same school that I graduated from, The Lovett School. True story. He taught the world in a way no other has since about equality and non-violence. I'm reading what I've written so far and it all sounds so clunky... such ordinary words for an extraordinary man. Of course his own voice describes the message best. So here's the full audio of the gorgeous, moving, and transformative "I Have a Dream" speech.





Goodness, I wish I was at home in Atlanta today to celebrate. But for now I'll just make a post. It's a little something.

My apologies for referencing this picture twice in my blog so far... I guess I'm a little in love with it... it's even hanging in my house.

who are you calling a cootie queen you lint licker?

My goodness, I love this commercial.

pet peeve!

Why Do Some People Think That Capitalizing Every Word Is Necessary? I Don't Understand. Titles Get This Treatment, Not Sentences. This Is A Fail For Delta Lavatories... Sorry To Say.

today my blog got a makeover

Out with the old...

... in with the new.

I changed a few things other than the header... I also updated font colors and what not. Yay for surface-level knowledge of CSS! For me it's like watching a soap opera in Spanish. I can only sort of deduce what is going on. :)

introducing the coca-cola tallboy.

So simple, yet so genius. I think we can all agree on the descending order of Coke tastiness: fountain, glass bottle, aluminum can, plastic bottle. If you want more than 12 ounces and can't find a fountain- odds are you're stuck with the dreaded and inferior plastic bottle. But NO MORE!

[And yes, I realize that made two Coca-Cola posts within a few days of each other.]

breakroom ad du jour

Maybe I'm being criticle, but it seems to me that a minimum bar for a dentistry ad should be to include people who have teeth. I think they're trying to be cute... still, being cute ought not to come at the high cost of making zero sense.
