My Infection

Catchy title, huh? Saturday afternoon at Urgent Care I was diagnosed with bronchitis (although the hypochondriac in me says there is still a possibility of Sars or Bird Flu). I have just about zero energy, and by the time this blog is complete, I will probably be crawling back to bed. I did want to share some observations that I have from watching television the past few days.
1. Disney channel(s) have more good shows on, per capita, than any other station, even at 3 in the morning
2. Every other commercial on televsion (other than Disney) is trying to tell me that I am broken... Or at least I must be, because all I keep hearing about is how I need to change my hair color, whiten my teeth, take pills to sleep better, and lose a significant amount of weight.
3. I am perplexed how I can watch Geico, Progressive, State Farm, and the General all make the claim that I can save over $350 per year over other insurance companies. I want to know which of their competitors charges such ridiculus rates that make a $350 difference to anyone.
4. The Burger King "figure" from the commercials creeps me out -- Big Time! It doesn't matter if he's playing football, greeting someone at their window sill with a breakfast sandwich or being a futuristic robot, he's disturbing and needs to go away! And that's not the medication talking.
