* Every time I tear open a hot chocolate package, I think of the old instant cappachino commercials. : D The ones where the guy goes into his kitchen and makes cappachino noises so his date will think he has a cappachino machine. Quality tv.

* The Superbowl was both a) really exciting and b) had some pretty decent commercials. I'm a big fan of the 'Rocky' Bud Lite commerical and the Planters "Unibrow" commercial. And the Fedex Pigeons commercial.

*It's snowing here. Intensely snowing. Snowing super-duper hard. That's exciting because I don't have to go anywhere. :D

that 2000 was the first year MLK day was celebrated in all 50 states.
It was first celebrated in 1986.

South Carolina was the last state to not celebrate MLK day.
You could pick to celebrate MLK day or 1 of three Confederate holidays.

Surprised?
not really.

That makes me excited. Everybody else isn't going to work on Monday, and I decided I'm going to join them.



In other news....

I think it would be fun if we still had the manners used in the 18th century.

I'm sure it wouldn't be quite so fun if you were a peasant, but as long as you were somewhat in the gentry, it'd be a good time. Bowing and curtsying. Always referring to people by their proper names. All that stuff. Good times. :D

at least that's what I think tonight...
