Okay, I saw this clip posted over at dooce (whom I LOVE!), and just HAD to share it with you. Check out what dooce has to say about it here, because she does it more elequantly than I ever could…
You don’t think the commercial could possibly be about what you first think it is… but it SO IS. Check it out below:
Thanks to this video, today will go down as one of the best days of my life. EVER.
I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been too busy playing with myself.
I’m serious. My boss recently told me and my co-worker about Meez characters (www.meez.com) and since then… well, let’s just say not too much work has been getting done in the O’Reilly Cambridge Office.
It’s great! Ingenious, actually. It encourages us to become absolute narcissists and wrapped up in a digital world. Isn’t this what American entertainment has been striving to achieve from the beginning?
Anyway you should check it out, make your own character, and friend me on Meez! Because collecting online friends is way more important to me than my human-to-human relationships.
Look! It’s ME!!!!!!! ME ME ME ME! Making my Meez dance is so much more fun than dancing in real life!
For some reason, sometime over the last day or two, the words “Firefly from hell!” popped into my head. I knew they had to be from a movie, but couldn’t remember which one, and it has been driving me up the freaking wall.
I finally remembered.
I have found the best candy on the planet. If I could eat these babies every day for the rest of my life I would die a happy gal. For fifty cents plus tax you get two six inch cylindrical tubes of excitement. They are essentially hollowed out twizzlers with a blue sugary substance dotted with nerds for their insides. You get the chewy sensation of the casing, the tangy taste of the blue SweetTart mixture and the sweet oh so sweet and crunchy goodness of the variety of flavors of nerds all in one bite. These candies make the perfect movie snack and are way healthier than popcorn or chocolate candy. I command you to go purchase a bucketful from the nearest CVS or 7-Eleven. You will be a believer before your first glorious bite is swallowed.
It’s amazing what we’ll consume if it’s free. My office has free coffee, tea and hot chocolate in the lounge area every day and though it’s taken a while for me to partake in the communal hot beverages, now that I have I won’t ever stop! Nothing makes you feel better after a trek in the arctic cold than a fresh mug of hot chocolate. I don’t even need the marshmallows to be reminded of snow days in third grade when I’d burn my tongue on the scorching liquid but keep on gulping the chocolately warming goodness. Close my eyes and bam I can actually feel the thaw disseminate through my bones. The best part is that it is free here! I get paid to come into work and drink hot chocolate. Fuck yes. Take that… man! Today though I consumed my first mug of real green tea and now I think I’ll have to drink it every day (with two sugars of course, can’t be too healthy and shock my dilapidated system now). Any trace of sickness I might’ve felt is completely gone and I’m actually alert and ready to face whatever frustrating challenges of the publishing world might come my way. Maybe I’ll get creative and put it in the fridge on Monday so I can have some green iced tea with lunch. It’s free! I can do it and not feel guilty about abandoning my water bottle. I want more free things. I like getting something for nothing. Perhaps I will start coupon hunting like a fiend this weekend…
This is my new current favorite song…
