technical difficulties.

i have a bum space bar. and a bum foot, but that can't possibly do anything but help my blogging problem.

just a couple notes for today:

the falsetto vocals in the chorus of "september" by earth, wind and fire is really what makes the song. without it, the chorus is empty and awkward. kind of like my soul. (note: i saw a cover band do this song at the bar i go to by my house [and when i say "by my house" i really mean "8 miles up the road"] and without that vocal line, the whole song was ruined. for me anyway. i doubt anyone else in that room noticed/gave a crap.)

there's an esurance commercial i've seen a few times today. it features a (crappy) song by some (unknown) band, set to a cartoon. every time i hear it i think it's a "free credit report dot com" commercial and roll my eyes. then i realize what it really is and roll my eyes again.

this make-up commercial (yes, i've been watching tv all day, let's talk about it) entices you to buy it by saying it keeps your skin "natural and healthy-looking." well, my glasses help me see fine, but they don't fix my awful vision. i hate how easily-trickable we've become.
