Commercial Memories

Remember this commercial??



But this one is my personal favorite, and it always reminds me of my brother . . .



What is your favorite commercial?

Guilty Pleasure

I admit it. I'm an American Idol Freak. I haven't watched it consistently for 7 years, but Hunkahubby and I have been pretty big fans since the end of Season 3.


So I just had to take the chance to say -

Congratulations David Cook! I've been rooting for him since the beginning. (My other favorites were Carly Smithson (awesome voice) and Amanda Overmyer (fellow Hoosier).)

I got choked up in the end, watching he and his family overcome with emotion. I think he is going to make some great music and I'm really looking forward to what he comes up with. I mean seriously, anyone who can turn Mariah Carey's "Always be my Baby" into a relevant hit for a guy . . . he's a winner in my book!

Yay!

Do they still have the right stuff??

This article made me crack up laughing and cringe all at the same time.

Yes, I admit it - I am a child of the 80s and proud to be one. I can't wait for big hair to come back (the kind where you needed a building permit, just to do your hair),
neon green used to be my favorite color - and I still believe that nothing will ever top 80s music for nostalgic value (sappiness) and the perfect music for slow dancing at school functions . . .





However . . . I find it hard to admit . . . that I actually saw the New Kids on the Block in concert when I was in 7th grade. But, it's true. I did. And I loved it. And I was crazily in love with Donnie (who we now know as Marky Mark a.k.a. Mark Wahlberg, serious actor's brother) . . . why? I don't know . . . when I look at old pictures of NKOTB . . . I REALLY don't know.

Honestly, I loved the 80s . . . but an NKOTB comeback? Seriously??? Aren't there enough boy bands without bringing old ones back from the dead?

What do you think??
