Off to the Shire

New Hampshire, that is. Ahahaha. God, I'm sorry. Anyway! It may rain here, which could make things interesting. The weatherman was talking about our "warm, juicy air." Ew. Oh well, it's for business, so it's not really my problem if flights are screwed up. Wow, that's a fabulous attitude, isn't it? But really, ít's the path of least stress.

I've programmed my VCR and digital cable to record about 4 shows while I'm gone. Tonight I noticed that my cable has been doing the charming thing where it pixelates and cuts out intermittently. If I come home to a tape full of blackness and blips, someone is going to be PISSED. And that someone is going to be me. Yes, yes, I know you're like "Why don't you have TIVO?" And I'm like "Why don't you pay for it?"

Tonight I saw a commercial for a new breakfast sandwich at Burger King. It's called "MEAT'NORMOUS". Wow. Now tell me that wasn't originally a joke someone made in the boardroom that accidentally got taken seriously. Some guy was all "It's enormous! And it's meaty! It's meatnormous! Haha ... ha ... oh God, you actually like that?"



Side note - I Googled it to make sure I hadn't been hallucinating, and Google helpfully asked, "Did you mean: burger king metanormal?" Mmm, don't think so. In fact, that concept is rather frightening. And then the MEAT'NORMOUS message on the BK website encouraged me to "HAVE A MEATY MORNING!" Umm ... no? Dude, sandwich, I don't even know you. Tone down the innuendo. And stop grabbing my ass.
