My second favorite VW commercial

Million Miles, by J.Ralph (then going by the name SPY), just cycled through on iTunes, and brought to mind my second favorite VW commercial ever, called "Big Day," in which the song is prominently featured. The commercial is a gem. It tells a spellbinding story, unspooling perfectly, with an unexpected twist and an uncertain ending. The breath she takes right before it ends could mean so many things. I have a copy of the video on my computer somewhere, but you can watch it on YouTube. (Get your own crappy Quicktime version from Volksfolks, or read a discussion of the commercial, mostly full of "This is Awesome!" but still interesting, at Tevis.)

Bush Confidence

We've just started watching a new show, courtesy of our renewed membership with Netflix, that is proving both entertaining and educational. The characters are interesting, the situations in which they find themselves are eye-opening, and we're learning a lot of new vocabulary. Even the title implies an educational experience. And you thought this was going to be about politics.
