commercials are...

fill in the blank. Really, don't most commercials make you wonder who thinks that crap up? I mean, some ad exec is getting paid a ton of dough for his/her perceived cleverness. I'm not saying I can do better, even though I think I can sometimes. But still. And in all fairness, some ad campaigns are pretty good. I like the Jimmy Dean commercials with the big yellow sun. They crack me up. The first one was the best though...when he was telling his little girl how he had to get up early to light the world ~ the look on her face was priceless, like yeah? so? That was great. Burger King's "King" commercials are the worst. They make me change the channel! But this next commercial just bugs the snot out of me. It's for a new Sharp TV. You've probably seen it;

It's all about how they added the color yellow. Now, what bugs me is this ~ if they started with red, green and blue, then they already have yellow. You can't make green without yellow. Green isn't even a primary color to begin with. Yes, I know it has to do with the light spectrum but it bugs me anyway. It goes against everything I learned in art! Every time I see this commercial, visually it just drives me nuts!

We got all (ok, some of) the mulch spread around on Saturday. It was a good weekend to do it. Overcast and cool all day. It looks SO great. I love it! But I definitely ordered too much :-) We just have a tiny bit more to do and we are barely 1/2 way through the pile. Oops. I'm sure we'll find other places for it, I hope.

Oh, and if you get the History channel, there was a really fun show on (that I'm sure will be on again) the other day ~ How the States Got Their Shapes".

There is nothing on the calendar for next weekend. It's good to have those every once in a while. It could be a good weekend to clean the carpet! Darn, now there's something on the calendar. Humph.
