1. What's the last vivid dream that you remember having? i was killing someone because they were torturing a friend. so i attacked the guy and we had this huge battle.
2. Do you have any recurring dreams? every now and again.
3. What's the scariest nightmare you've ever had? a death of a relative that was very real. and, a very bad tornado that i was in the middle of.
4. Have you ever written your dreams down or considered it? Why or why not? i generally always have dreams at night, lots of them. i was into trying to figure out what they all meant when i was in high school... i started leaving a pad/pencil next to my bed so when i woke up in the middle of the night i could write down short clues to look up later. the times i actually did it, it was interesting to see what they could be interpreted as... but i never got into the habit of doing it. i know why i have the dreams i do... it's not that hard to figure out your subconscious.
5. Have you ever had a lucid dream? What did you do in it? i know i have... but i can't think of anything off the top of my head.

the "divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood" site is pretty entertaining: an interactive old school hand-held fortune teller (you can even print out your own to fold up), a ya-ya name generator (mine was "princess talks too much" which i don't find very accurate), recipes from the movie's cast and crew, loads of southern girl links under "ya-ya mania"... just to name a few.

i only had to stand in line for an hour and a half. not bad, considering we saw it at grauman's chinese theatre in hollywood. the line was really long and there were lots of people all over the place near the entrance. the theatre, huge, seemed packed at our 3.30 pm showing. lots of cheering and yelling (and occasional booing at lame trailers and jar jar binks).
i thought the movie was a lot of fun. lots more action. dreamy anakin. pretty amidala. ewan too. i think i liked this one better than episode one, but i can't quite say that for definite since i haven't seen episode one in a long time. regardless, i didn't find myself bored and detached. i liked each bit of it.
go see it if you haven't already.

1. What shampoo do you use? st. ive's -- it's green and smells odd, almost like cucumbers but not exactly. if i want my hair stick-straight though, i use physique contouring shampoo.
2. Do you use conditioner? What kind? if i didn't, i couldn't comb through my hair. i use the matching conditioner to st. ive's and physique.
3. When was the last time you got your hair cut? when i went home for christmas five months ago.
4. What styling products do you use? occasionally an aveda detangler and aveda humidity-frizz controller stuff in a blue jar.
5. What's your worst hair-related experience? it's always related to getting my hair colored. i currently have 1-1/2 inch roots growing out that badly need touching up.

everybody seems to go crazy over music in commercials on television. particularly all the car ads featuring snappy beats. (hello, mitsubishi!)
this site, (the now defunct) tunespotting, features "an online resource for identifying songs and artists featured in television commercials and movie previews."
while, i didn't find what i was looking for, they do have a lot of stuff. i really like that there is a search feature by product, company or music style.
at least volkswagon got a clue, and are selling a compilation cd of some of their popular ad songs.
I've decided to move this discussion into a forum I run. Please visit and check out the site Adtunes.com. There you will be able to find out all the information that has been posted here already, and some great search tips for finding commercial music.
Please bookmark that link, as it is the only place on my site that will allow posts relating to commercial music. You can register to post questions and answers or even post as a guest.
Just in the span of about 9 months, this post has generated the answers to a lot of people's questions regarding music in commercials. The forum is a very easy format to use, and if it is as successful as this post's comments section was, you'll most likely find the title of that commercial song you're after.
Thanks!!

parlez vous anglais? that phrase was my favorite to say over and over to steve while we were in europe, 11 months ago. that trip made me fall in complete love with the city of paris, france.
so, it's no wonder when i ran across burke and wells, in paris that i spent several hours reading each journal entry and looking through loads of photos.
after visiting france on vacation, these two brave souls decided to pack up and move there from california. their adventure is very exciting, and i really enjoy reading about it all.
