la luna llena

So a few weeks ago I was watching tv with the folks when a commercial for Michigan came on, encouraging tourism. Understandable, their economy in the dismal state that it is, even in comparison with the rest of the country. I mean for years we have seen them for the Carolinas, Florida, California, but in the most recent months these commercials have become more and more plentiful. I didn’t pay much attention to the reasoning behind the commercial because I was so focused on whose voice was doing the voice-over. It was none other than Tim Allen (Tim the tool man Taylor, also from Michigan). I was so proud of my observation that I rewound the commercial two or three times so that I could point it out to both of my parents and receive the congratulations for the very astute listening ear. 

Well, then last night my Dad and I were watching something when a commercial for North Dakota came on. Now, North Dakota is the same state that at least up until 2005, you could still receive a free plot of land if you contractually agreed to homestead for at least five years (totally worth it, I think, how bad could the tundra be?). North Dakota is the same state with a total of three Walmarts (again these are 2005 numbers) and the lowest population. And now they’re doing tourism commercials? Who visits North Dakota? I still think they should’ve given them Mt.Rushmore or something, I mean for goodness sakes at least that way the RVs would still go through South Dakota to visit. Poor North Dakota, might as well be Canada. Still, no amount of commercials can allure me. But that free plot of land, now we’re talking. Give me that to go on vacation for a few weeks and I’m there!

I am realizing how terrible I am at flirting. When did it come to this? Have I really become dependent upon social lubricant?

LOOK NEWS HAS STILL BEEN HAPPENING DESPITE THE LOSS OF SO MANY CELEBS!!

After spending more than half my life in pools, I’ve come to the conclusion that my skin is allergic to chlorine. YES! How very convenient for the lifeguard who has about seven more weeks to work. Fantastic.

On that note, with a very sore back and an empty Miller Light, it is time to call it a night. Note to self, lift with your legs, not your back. Should make for an interesting week at work!

Damn full moon.
