“IDK, my BFF Jill?” That’s the key phrase from this Cingular commercial. Kind of amusing, but not as much as what’s been propagating across the imageboards since it’s achieved true meme status. Here’s a sample:

IDK, my BFF Jill? *Slap*

I’ve been listening to this Parry Gripp album a lot today. You might be familiar his Do You Like Waffles song (and the subsequent Flash animation). So far, I really love One Donut a Day, Dippin’, Everyone’s Dipping, Pita City Falafel, and Big Sale. Of those, One Donut is the longest at 41 seconds; queue them all in single playlist and you have something about as long as a normal song.

Oh, fantabulous news: I found my DS! Turned out I had remembered to bring it with me, but it fell into that gap between the passenger seat and door of my car. I can’t believe neither Brett nor I saw it there before… Bet this wouldn’t have happened if I’d bought the coral version. Anyway, now I can finish the game I was working on.

Speaking of the DS, this Drawn to Life game looks really cool. Won’t be out till September though. I’m also excited about the new Final Fantasy Tactics game and Geomety Wars: Galaxies, but those don’t even have release dates yet. I think the next game I get will be either Kirby: Canvas Curse or Advance Wars: Dual Strike.

Have you tried these X-13D Doritos? They’re pretty good. Kinda/sorta/vaguely taste like a cheeseburger. I’m not a big fan of Doritos, but these are the best ones I’ve had yet.

The TiVo’s snagged a couple really great Modern Marvels episodes in the past two days: One on airships (mostly zeppelins, just a little on blimps) and another on hangars (which was more interesting than one would expect). Ugh, there’s so little new TV on lately… Top Chef, Kathy Griffin: MLOTDL, BWE, The Soup, and The Showbiz Show. That’s it. And that last one just ended its season, so I’m down to like 132 minutes of original content per week when you strip out the ads.

Gonna try making burrito blancos tonight. I’m a little wary about deep-frying them. How do you keep the filling from leaking out? I’m gonna try using toothpicks to maintain tortilla hull integrity.

    Re: amy: It’s a deep-fried burrito covered in a cream cheese-based sauce. I had one in Pasco last week — extremely tasty.

    Re: Tim: Thanks, heh.

    You Americans get way better junk food — I’m still made that I didn’t get super hot cheetos when I was down there last weekend.

    And I tell you, the coral DS is the way to go! We never lose ours, it’s so bright.
