An Explanation

The posts below this are imports from my old blog, Brand New Day. I'm letting that blog go, mainly because I don't want or need to pay to maintain a blog I rarely post to. I've preserved some of my most recent posts, which really aren't all that recent.

Just to add something here: I have nothing against Beyonce, really, I don't. It snowed for much of the day, so I stayed indoors and did laundry, baked bread (a new, reduced kneading recipe that is much better than the no-knead recipe discussed below), updated my rubber stamp ink database, etc. I've had the television playing in the background for several hours. Beyonce's ad for DirecTV has played several times. I don't get it. What does Beyonce gyrating and singing in various states of undress have to do with getting an upgrade on DirecTV? What does Beyonce gyrating and singing have to do with any product or service for that matter? Well, I guess nonsensical commercials like the "Lemme, Lemme Upgrade" DirecTV spot have made Beyonce the richest celebrity under the age of 30. The commercial was stupid when it started airing about a year ago. It is not less stupid now. Please stop it DirecTV, please!

Hi, Pila! Thanks for stopping by my blog today and leaving such a lovely comment! :-)

And, for the record, I don't get half the commercials out there! Glad I'm not alone!
