Mmm Donuts

There's a Dunkin Donuts ad on tv. it made me think of them.

my meeting with dale was unproductive, but not useless. Hopefully calling medtronic tomorrow will prove useful.

Bob dole was on the Late Show (hosted by Paul Shaffer) and paul asked him if he had bought any duct tape. he said he had some left over from WWII.

That Visa Check Card ad was on tv again. It made me think of walter and I standing in the subway station, waiting for our train when the operator of the wrong train stuck his head out the window and yelled 'Yo, there's no A train today' (in a thick brooklyn accent) it was very NY, and I don't think jen mentioned it. (as she was off shopping anyway)

Cat Power is on the late show. she looks like cousin IT combined with some Kurt Cobain grunge, but sounds like your average angry female singer/songwriter. its very confusing, and i bet i'm not getting the point because i'm not listening to the lyrics, i'm more amazed at how her bangs cover her eyes.

well no responses to yesterday's (the day before, whatever) quiz. hrmph. oh wait, this is hrmph. damn i'm out of words.

update on cat. she sounds like she smoked a bunch and is trying to cover it up, she's got this airy broken voice. somehow i bet everyone already knew who she was, but i live in case western reserve bubble, so bear with me.

i'm glad the dave barry link is amusing. its one of the better things to come off /. recently. nothing like behind the scenes oscar stuff

best thing about the GM ad comparing a pontiac grand am SE to a Jetta GL
1. Pontiacs are neither cute nor trendy
2. Who cross shops those? Cute + trendy people whose parents want them to buy american?
3. they forgot the grand am has 4 times the body roll, it makes up for losing in torque and hp
4. because none of you reading this care
5. there is no number 5 (he's no longer alive)

VW's losing its trendiness and is entering into Honda land (good, functional, but nothing to write home about). I think the next trendy car will be something out of GM, but not necessarily Pontiac, and not for at least a few years. That or Mazda'll pick up in appeal. And I vote for:

#1 may be true, but they're at least sexy. vw's are not.
