It's Wednesday, I'm in love
- by admin
sitting at my desk taking a break from doing the boringest thing ever which is entering AP invoices into SAP and I can't believe I get paid what I get paid to do this. it should either be way more or way less depending on how you look at it but I'll take the money and run, thank you.
but it's lunchtime right now and I'm eating this crazy three-cheese pasta and half a porkchop stuffed with pear and goat cheese which is leftover from the weekend which leads me to the title of this post
because nobody is actually in love with wednesday, ever.
saturday Tyrone made me this crazy dinner which consisted of the stuff I just mentioned and we hung a sheet up over the flatscreen on the living room wall and hooked up the projector instead.
we put blankets on the floor and set it up all picnic-like.
I put out tons of candles all around the living room so there was sexy time mood lighting.
we picked the movie Solaris which isn't really a date-time movie but we have to be different somehow, I guess.
we ate our dinner, set up pillows and blankets on the floor and lay down together to watch the movie
and fell asleep before the movie even ended.
which some would consider to be a colossal loss, but not me.
because we still made a nice dinner together and still put a ton of effort into having a nice at-home date on a saturday night, which is more than a lot of almost-three-years-together couples do. even if they fall asleep together because omg it'd been a long week for both of us.
and now I have leftovers to make my wednesday better.

the new Old Spice commercials may not make much sense
- by admin
but that's because they're directed by the amazing Tim and Eric, who are gods of wtf-ery. if you're at all familiar with such uncomfortable, brilliant Adult Swim shows such as Tom Goes to The Mayor, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! and Check It Out! With Dr. Steve Brule (played by John C. Reilly who is amazing)
to be frank, I don't have cable and for the most part I'm totally okay with that because most television shows are just cesspools of idiocy and generally the commercials aren't much better, but I have to say that this would get my attention if I was waiting for my episode of The Daily Show to resume.
and I have to say, I wasn't sure if Old Spice would be able to follow up the Old Spice Guy commercials with anything I would even remorely appreciate, and while nothing is quote as wondergul as an oyster with two tickets to that thing I love, these are pretty top-notch.
so rats off to ya, Old Spice, for recruiting one of the most original, funny and unique entertainers out there that have a huge repor with a younger, savvy audience. I mean, truth be told, I became much more intreigued in the commercials after finding out who directed them, and you know that it's prominently displayed on the YouTube page because Old Spice knows that Tim and Eric are the selling features of the commercials, even though they aren't in them.
that being said, I'm looking forward to seeing if Old Spice can continue to keep up this trend of impressive commercials.
it almost makes me want to buy their product. almost.
