brrrrrrrrrrrrrrringringring!!

the Co-Worker and i just went to breakfast (like my job? me: hey is it cool with you if me and the Co-Worker go grab some breakfast? it'll only take 20 minutes or something. boss: have a wonderful time, grab me an orange juice, if you could) and jeeeezus that guy can talk. i don't think he shut up the whole time we were eating, except for when he was drinking his water. he has really light rutger hauer blue eyes (scary!...except for ladyhawk. i liked that movie. but then again...i was 11 when i saw it.)

i think he likes me more, now, though. we don't fight as much as we used to. and he just sent me an email that said only this:

YOU CAN HOLLA AT MY DOGSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

uh, yeah.

anyhow, so i'm sitting here and i am listening to nick drake trying to calm my caffeine fuel injected nerves and it's making me think of the first time i saw that volkswagon commercial that has "pink moon" in it.

i didn't know whether to scream or be sad or be happy or what. i had already had the shock of hearing a lush song in a vw commercial years before and "how soon is now" in a nissan commercial (what?) and would later have the confusing experience of hearing the buzzcocks in an suv commercial.

i mean, on the one hand, i thought the vw nick drake commercial was really nice, because i've gone on drives like that, where everything is just perfect and your own world has found a strange kind of equilibrium that is comforting.

but on the other hand, it was a car commercial with gap models and a fake pink moon at the end.

i'm still not sure how i feel about that kind of commercialism being attached to songs that i really love. i suppose it's the artist's right to do whatever it is they wish with their work.

on the other hand, i can't help but think of bill hicks, god bless his brilliant soul, everytime i see a commercial like that.

at the moment i can't think of the clever thing he said about it, but i'm sure if you asked him he could tell you.

oh man, i think i am gonna be sick. this french toast is not sitting well with me.

or it might be the coffee.
