particularly in Bachelor Land.
Sorry, but I just can't write any blogs about the economy....too depressing. So here is your mindless fluff for the day. Think of it as your four 'o clock piece of candy:

"Nope."
This is what A. had to say when I tried to get her in her Halloween costume to go the Botanical Gardens festival this weekend.
Mind you, it was last year's costume since this year's hadn't arrived yet. But still. I thought she'd jump at the chance to wear animal ears.
So it was with great anticipation that we presented her with her newly arrived costume yesterday. It's a girl vampire costume, inspired by her great love for the Count on Sesame STreet (and our current obsession with True Blood).
"Isn't it great? It's got a velvet collar. And it's a dress...."
To which she replied, "Nope."
Damn! Have I really underestimated the personality of a two-year-old? I assumed I had one more year to put her into a costume that I like before she demanded to become a princess.
And then she truly squashed all my hopes and dreams by uttering one word "tutu." As in the pink fluffy thing my aunt's friend bought her that she wears from time to time.
"Wouldn't you rather be The Count's Sister?"
"Nope."
Stay tuned.

The British Bachelor finds a soulmate who doesn't look like a porn star...
which is a start, anyway.
I always liked Matt. Who can resist a tall boy with a British accent?

Why there are no pictures on my blog....
quite simply....because it's my world. And I don't want them.
You see, I write ads all day. And let's face it, even if you write a rocking headline, it's really all about the picture. That's what grabs 'em first. If something's pretty with a sucky headline, they'll look at it. Just the law of the land.
So in my world (the land of nanifesto)...it's all about the words, baby. Sorry.
Plus I'm also too lazy (and technologically challenged) to bother adding visual stimulation. You'll just have to make do with my opinions.
Luckily, I've got a lot of them.
Just think of it as a book. One without an actual plot. And one that's free.
I promise to write something halfway humorous tomorrow.
Have a good night.

I was really going to try not to be superficial...
but why start now?
I'm talking, of course, about the debate last night. Clearly, if you've been reading my blog, you know exactly where I stand politically. So I won't bore you with all the reasons why I thought Obama won last night. I'm here to talk about much more important matters; who actually looked the part of president last night?
Was it the guy in the dark pinstriped suit which made him look even paler than he was, his white hair and skin the exact same color? In a word, no. If your wife is as rich as McCain's is, there is no excuse for not having the perfect suit that's going to read well on television. I'm not saying it wasn't expensive or well-tailored. I'm saying, those pinstripes seemed to vibrate. And it was too dark for him. And playing off the yellow teeth....shudder. (Dude, Crest Whitestrips work wonders....and no, they don't pay me to say that).
I know this is not a beauty contest—though someone might want to remind Sarah Palin that. But if you don't think in the era of television, these sorts of things matter....might I remind you of Nixon/Kennedy debate? Not that I was there, but apparently Nixon sweated up a storm. But apparently, it made a difference.
What makes someone look presidential? Posture does wonders. Obama sat straight, spine erect, the entire time. He never appeared to fidget nor did he make annoying little guffaws the way McCain did. And you know what? It was incredibly effective.
So. Turns out your mom was right. Sit up straight. Don't fidget. Don't interrupt when someone is talking.
And most importantly....brush your teeth.
