For some reason, my  mind refuses to pronounce the “famous” reality family’s name correctly.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen them in anything but print media, having never seen any of their reality shows. Still, just from that exposure I can probably give you a pretty full synopsis of their lives. Here they are dominating 3 of 4 magazine covers in my checkout line at the grocery store.
 

Waiting for a table at Mother’s I watched this guy set up this shot and started grabbing for my camera too.  He took more than one, but this was the only “hands-free” self portrait.  Can you see the phone on the top of the sign?  My friend laughed at his actions, but I’ve taken too many self-portraits to judge.

I’m so glad Rhymes with Orange has come to live in the Oregonian.

If you don’t want to make any chair a cozy one, perhaps instead you need a magic pancake pan?
I think my favorite part of the ad says “You can make: French Toast, Grilled Cheese, Eggs Over Easy, Crepes and more!”

Then, there was a short article on a new film about the Bible.  Read this excerpt and guess what my favorite part is:

Did you guess this:  “Adds Roma Downey, 52, who plays Mary, ‘We wanted the audience to think, ‘I know these people.'”
Well, Roma Downey, I can’t say I knew Mary, but I can say that she sure as hell wasn’t FIFTY-TWO YEARS OLD when she gave birth to Jesus.

Seriously, is anyone in Hollywood sane?

The fourth and fifth graders are studying US History.  They are getting better at typing, but haven’t hit 100% on proofreading yet.

I love the Parade Magazine and its crappy products targeted to old people.  I would like to say that I can’t believe people actually buy this stuff, but I know they do.  My favorite part of the ad?  “For Chairs and Wheelchairs”  Yipee!

I think Jason Schwartzman and Bob Dylan look nothing alike, but there they were, sitting right next to each other at New Seasons, working the sensitive man eyebrows. I had to wonder.

This is one of those products I feel people go looking for.  They buy a smart phone, they realize they can’t use it with their gloves on, they consult their friends or the Internet for a solution, et voila, they find themselves in the glove section of Macy’s staring at the selection.  Or, they knew this product existed like I did, because the fluffy sections of the newspaper, as well as women’s magazines, explained the whole concept to me in the form of a “feature.”  Advertising as news.  Gotta love it.

But yes, I’m always happy for more details.

Unless the details are an obvious drawing that gives me no new information.
 

It’s the slogan on the envelopes for a non-profit we work with.  It’s a nice sentiment, but I’ve stopped caring about a lot of things in my 38 years.  And for good reason, too.

Nathan hasn’t fully grasped the difference.
