Unbeknown to most of American’s (or unbe..”cared by”) I just found out that the Richard Marx song, “Right Here Waiting” was a track (perhaps the best) off of the most recent Donny Osmond album, “What I Meant to Say”. (Well, ok, it came out in 2004, which I’ll admit is a few years ago and not even the most recent at all as he just dropped “Love Songs of the Seventies” like, last week or in April – but are we counting this as an album? Donny covering songs he wished that his team of 1970′s song writers had come up with first? Neal Sedeka’s “Laughter In the Rain”? Really?) (more…)

Finally, a reputable and note worthy article that answers one of life’s most puzzling of questions:

OK, I know I’m a little late on this one but..
I happen to catch an episode of MTV’s infamous “reality” show The Hills last night. I will admit that I know all the characters names and faces and their friends and their recent bouts with plastic surgery but I’ve never actually WATCHED an episode.

Rob and I happened to catch a fantastic local commercial the other day. More or less this: Some thieving, ski-capped man is breaking into a car. Before he can do much of much, the car owner walks by and tosses the thief his/her keys and says with a straight-face, “Don’t forget to sell the motor for drugs” or a something along those lines. This happens with a few cars and owners; “Why don’t you drive it to Mexico and turn it into a car bomb?” keys tossed, car-thief looking perplexed, etc. The slug line and/or purpose of the ad is to remind people to take their keys with them when they leave their car.
