Mundane Central

I have decided to go back to the pointless, mundane posts. I’m sure you guys won’t mind. If you’re looking for non-mundane, there’s plenty to find over at dailykos.com and metafilter.com. No need for more crap from me, right?

Oh, other than this one last thing. Cooler than cool friend of the Dump Becky pulling together a Spongebob-themed backpack to send down to our friends at CoffeeCup Software – and in it she put a note from Sandy Cheeks welcoming the child to her home state of Texas. How brilliant is that? Any Spongebob fan knows Sandy is from Texas. Prophetically, in one episode she sings “Wish I was back in Texas; the ocean’s no place for a squirrel.”

(If you haven’t send your backpack yet, this is a great idea, to include a note. The folks over at http://www.projectbackpack.org have also suggested this.)

Okay, so enough about generous thoughtful people. Back to me.

I am trying a new deodorant. It’s Lady Speed Stick 24/7 Antiperspirant Deodorant, Satin Pear scent. Very pear-y. I mean, I like the smell, but it is on the fruity side. I’m thinking maybe I can layer it with my Secret Solid Shower Fresh scent that wasn’t working so well any more. Maybe Shower Fresh Pear will be my new signature scent?

I left my phone home today, so I’ve already got the DTs because I can’t read any of my email.

Lastly, dear Big E:
Dear God, find a few dollars and go redo your radio ad campaign. I mean, NOW. I know you have a Mardi Gras parade (apparently) but when you said something about “just like in New Orleans” in the spot intro, I wasn’t expecting to hear some guy talking to his [child? baby?] telling her how to shake it to get more beads. It’s offensive even WITHOUT the fact that New Orleans doesn’t really exist right now. My jaw effectively dropped into my lap. Pull those ads right now.

That is all.
