Invisibles

Sunday, May 24, 2009

Just got off the subway with Ciaran, which was mostly packed but for the odd open seat.

Me: I'm always afraid I'll sit on someone invisible, aren't you?
Ciaran: Oh I've sat on invisible people before.
Me: Oh really? What did they say?
Ciaran: Nothing.
Me: But, you could see them right?
Ciaran: No.
Me: Oh, right.
Ciaran: Mmmhummm.

(a few moments of silence)

Me: (sighing) Y'know, some people think unicorns went extinct but they didn't, they're just invisible.

In other news...have you seen the Skinny Cow (ice cream company) commercials? The one featuring an actual cartoon skinny cow at the end? Ew. Ew for two reasons: 1) It's malnourished livestock! 2) overtly literal advertising makes me sick.




Ew.

Those Skinny Cow commercials make me so angry! I saw one the other day and immediately launched into a tirade about how life were really like that I would want to be completely friendless, because those people suck and if you're going to eat ice cream, IT HAD BETTER ACTUALLY BE ICE CREAM, because life is short and I don't want to count "not enjoying dairy" among my regrets one day. In other news, Purdy's is in the ice cream market now.

Also, I bought jeans at H&M that not only do not produce a muffin top, but that are actually flattering and you don't have to mind the back when you bend over. So you know.

Strange! I was just saying to Ciaran last night how disappointing it is that you can't find REAL ice cream any more.

ps. What are these miracle jeans??!
