Blog is me....

What is blogging? Where did it come from? How does "blog" even become a word? Does this mean that I can coin my own words too?

Commericals that drive you crazy!

I have a TV in my office. It is on CNBC all day long. Most commercials just pass through my mind - in one ear and out the other. There are a few that will not leave me though.

One in particular is the Areva commercial. If I hear the song "Funkytown" one more friggin time, I am going to lose my mind!!!! Areva is doing this huge ad campaign (obviously - when have you ever seen an Areva commercial otherwise?) to explain nuclear power. The whole commercial is set to "Funkytown" and this commercial must be playing at least 10 times a day!!!!

It is the MOST annoying thing in the world! It's even worse than the Cal Worthington commercials from the 80s (SoCal thing). It's worse than the Old Navy commercials. You have to see it to see what I'm talking about. Of course, many people might not think it's so bad, but when you have to endure it over and over again....believe me, you will want to do something malicious to the "creative" people who designed the commercial.

No life

Bruingirl has been without much of a life, as of late. This poor social butterfly has been relegated to her office and to the confines of her dining room table where she studies. Blogging or emailing? No time for that! Spending time with friends??? Certainly not! Vacations? Just a mirage.....My extent of a social life has been in my car when I'm driving home from work. I get to talk to friends and "catch up". Yes, bruingirl's life is nonexistent until November 19th.

Remember those anti-drug commercials from the 80s? "This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs." Well, I feel like my brain is just like those eggs. FRIED. Except mine is getting fried by a couple of large textbooks the size of the Gutenberg Bible.

The only thing on my mind these days is time value of money, insurable risks, joint tenancy in common, Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and other extremely boring subjects.
