Casting Issues

Watch this commerical please. I'm sure you've seen it before. And if either of you want to show me how to embed a video, that would be great. Until then, I've just got the link:

This commerical has bothered me for several weeks. Every time I see it I think "I really don't like that lady," and unfortunately for Vonage, that lady is on their side. Does anyone else find the guy more endearing and likeable than the girl? I think it's her eyebrows.

Breaking News!

This is an actual screen shot from my iGoogle page. I did not photoshop this at all.

I would say that it must be a slow news day for ET Online - Breaking News to report that Charlize Theron loves spaghetti, but it's a growing trend to think that the public really wants to know these "interesting tidbits." I don't have anything else to say other than I could honestly care less. And I even like reading celebrity news gossip! This just seems to be crossing the line.

Shiny Happy People Laughing

Last night Andrew and I attended a Carrie Underwood/Keith Urban concert as part of Wal Mart's shareholder convention. Even though neither of us work at Wal Mart and neither of us are shareholders, Wal Mart was generous enough to open the event to the public.

Before the show, I was most excited to see Carrie Underwood, but I have to tell you, I left the concert most excited about Keith Urban's performance. Both were wonderful, but Keith Urban was just really entertaining. His show was awesome.

Throughout the entire Carrie Underwood show I found myself thinking I hate her, I just really hate her, even though I don't. And let me tell you why.

Basically Julie summed it up in one sentence: "She's a shiny person." And Julie is right.

Shiny people are those that never have a hair out of place, are always dressed to the nines and appear perfect. They basically just make you feel really bad about yourself. And that's how I felt people after her show.

So I have made my "Post-Carrie Underwood Show Self-Improvement List" and here it is:

1) Hair extensions in August
2) A few shades blonder
3) A tan exterior with sunless tanner
4) A couple of shopping trips to Mason's (even though I can't afford her $700+ Christian Louboutin heels, I'll find some kicking heels)
5) A new slimmer physique

This may sound ridiculous to you, but you go to one of her concerts and see how you feel when you leave...I bet you'll be creating a "Post Show" to-do list too.

Oh, and just to make myself feel a little bit better, I googled her today to find a picture of her when she was on American Idol and before she turned into a complete "Shiny" person...and while she wasn't completely unfortunate looking, she was as shiny as she is now:
