Love and Loathing on TV

There are some real good commercials on and I thought I'd share a couple, and one awful one.

First, Burn Notice is back in 4 loooong weeks and this new promo for it is freaking hawt.

Second, the series of commercials for freecreditreport.com are catchy, likable and never annoying. He sings about his house, job and car and how these are effected by bad credit. I never find myself annoyed by them

Which is completely oppsite to my reaction to the Esurance crap fest that I hate with an all comsuming passion. DIE DIE DIE squeaky whiny songwriter I've never heard of. DIE!

Married life

I twittered a little of this, consider that the teaser to this.

Mr Man is a good sport, you have to be to be married to me. Trust me on that. 

Knowing I needed maxi pads (i was going to run out for some later tonight) and he was out he stopped in at Walgreens for me on the way home. Now, in about 15 years together I have NEVER asked him to get them for me, I know it's not a task men are really familiar or comfortable with. It's my problem I do it, I think he appreciates that.

After many minutes of telling him the brand, and style I wanted, and him not being able to find them, flustered he asked scanning a huge aisle of maxipads "How the hell do you find the ones you need?"

"P&G used to have icons on the packaging like sailboats and clovers I think put there to help husbands find the right ones I think, but I think they stopped it." I said over the phone.

He started to list off various varieties. "Why do you girls need so many of these anyway? Don't they all do the same thing?" I can hear the frustration his voice.

I try to translate it into Man-ese. "It's like trying to buy screws, each one does something specific or has a slightly different thread. It's like that."

 "Oh, I see. How do I tell if these are these metric or SAE?"

God I love that man.

Not Sure how I feel about this

Seems my VBB feed is being used over at DaytonOS blog, along with many others, without permission.

 WTF? And worse of all some of them have comments, over there.

 This fucking sucks, I think. But there seems to be no way to contact people there without a whois.
