I just want to say that I love those volkswagen commercials with the german guy who unpimps people's rides. especially the one where his german assistant goes over to the car that's about to get unpimped, which has "flame" emblazoned on it, peels off the "F" and sticks it on the owner guy's shirt, proclaiming, "you get an F!" vee-dub. it's great. if you know how I feel about rice rockets, you will understand why I feel particularly excited about these ads. not a huge vw fan, but I do love the commercials. plus, the guy reminds me of dieter from sprockets, but he's more like gangsta dieter. cariboooou...

and as long as we're talking about advertising, my friend and I were talking about that 24 hour nba channel the other day and the evils of cable companies. she had mentioned how they always give you a free week of the channel at the beginning of the season to suck you in - well, suck her husband in. we came to two conclusions: 1. the marketing staff at cable companies must be retired drug pushers - where else would they be coming up with this "try it for free! you'll love it - and then you won't be able to live without it and we'll charge you up the butt for a whole year of this" business? 2. wives who allow their husbands to buy the 24 hour nba channel are probably having an affair.

ps. I keep meaning to take some progress pics of my ongoing knitting projects, but I keep forgetting until I'm here at work and don't have them with me. I promise some knitting content soon! really!
