Blogging Doldrums
I’ve been in a blogging funk for the last several days and don’t feel particularly inspired to write now, but I thought I’d try to cobble something together so people don’t think I’ve fallen off the face of the Earth.
We’d been having a nice mild spring for a month, with temperatures in the 50s and 60s. A little warmer than I like it, but not uncomfortable. That is, until the end of last week.
One day we had a daytime high in the mid-sixties, but the next day it soared to nearly 90 degrees. And that’s how it’s been ever since. It’s made me sluggish, not wanting to do much of anything but lay around.
I suppose I shouldn’t complain, though. At least we got one month of spring before summer started. I remember two summers ago, we were getting 90s in the middle of March.
Nevertheless, I’m already looking forward to November.

Lame Commercial of the Week
And the winner is: the Jack in the Box Mini Sirloin Burgers commercial.
It features dwarfs riding horses herding tiny cattle, while singing the obnoxious lyrics below in Alvin the Chipmunk voices:
A story’s told (a story’s told)
About a bunch of cowboys, tiny and bold (tiny and bold)
Ridin’ tall (Ridin’ tall)
Tall in the saddle
Herding cows the size of schnauzers but they’re cattle.
Yippee-yi-yay mini sirloin burgers!
Yippee-yi-yo mini sirloin burgers!
Yippee-yi-yay mini sirloin burgers!
I have to think that dwarfs must get tired of being mocked in the media like this so often.
And what’s worse, I can’t keep from singing the moronic jingle. It’s
an earworm, stuck in my head.
Not much else to write about tonight.
Well we don't have Jack in the Box around here which, thanks to your blog,
appears to be a blessing. Unfortunately, the Burger King ad with the
square pants girls really bothers me but it's because of that creeeeeepy
king more than anything.
Cathy,
I'm with you. I don't know why more people are not outraged or disturbed.
Its not so much the booty shaking but the words that encourage it.
