Stalked by a commercial and other things

smg011. Dannon (I think it's Dannon) has a light yogurt that they're advertising. The television commercial involves a very pretty young woman who is so tempted by the yogurt that she rips the top off of a little container and slurps the whole thing down right there in the grocery store aisle. I hate this commercial. With a passion. I think it's the slurping sound effect that really does it. (I don't like listening to people eat. Which is probably one reason why it's a good thing I live alone.) Naturally, Dannon seems to be advertising this product on a lot of shows that I watch. The various true crime/forensic shows must be a big yogurt demographic.
On the one hand, I understand what they're going for with the ad. On the other hand, I have to turn my head away and/or reach for the tv remote every time it comes on. It's very annoying. My life is so tragic.
2. I've greatly enjoyed the episodes of Merlin that I've been able to see. I'm finding them great fun. And seeing Anthony Stewart Head on television again is a delightful thing.
3. I've sort of finished my Jack/Sara thing. Finally. Finished in the sense of I've completed my initial draft and am in the process of going over it to try to smooth it over. I'm still not sure if I've got something good or bad, but at least it's done. It will be nice to be completely done so that I can read the other stories from the ficathon. (I feel too guilty reading them while still trying to complete mine.)
4. As of a few days ago, I have digital camera. It's a cannon point and shoot. Pretty basic, but definitely a step up from the camera phone which was my only other option. The vacation at the end of August was the impetus for getting it. In the meantime, I imagine pictures of my dog will be showing up sometime in the near future.
5. There is no five. Other than that I'm inexplicably finding the Farm Town application on Facebook completely addictive.

In fact, it was the opposite--I just couldn't get it out of my brain and into type. In the end I'm not sure if turned into quite what I had envisioned, but then I think I might be having a little trouble appraising it because it was such a struggle to get it done.
