Well, sort of. Catchy in that, dear lord I can’t get it out of my head (get it out of my head!) kind of way. Infomercials (which I love dearly) are often guilty of ridiculous soundtracks, but this list includes some more mainstream products as well. It seems that this economic downturn has finally reached…

If you follow me anywhere else on the Internet (hello and thanks!) you’ve probably seen me yammering on this week about a chocolate contest. Unlike running for office, a chocolate contest comes with zero responsibility and maximum enjoyability. And, thanks to your help, I’m a winner! This particular contest was run by the fine folks…
Read MoreMuffins and Cookies and Cakes (Oh My!)
As many of you already know, my sister’s bridal shower was last weekend. In preparation for the party, I spent all day last Friday pretty much chained to my oven making various sweets. Well, almost all day. I spent some time in the morning at the gym creating a negative calorie bank for me to…

In addition to catapulting the handsome and deliciously deadpan Isaiah Mustafa into sudden stardom, the ad actually made me consider reconsidering my stance on the brand’s sex appeal. Previously having been mentally…

I know it’s been a little while since I’ve posted, but I’ve been rather busy with my internship (and loving every minute!)

Read MoreSocial Networking (now with s’mores!)
Coleman camping supplies is running a very charming series of ads where they declare themselves to be the “original social networking site.” It’s a refreshing look at how people come together in the real world, augmented in the digital world by the company’s presence on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Having lived abroad for quite some…
