Happy Blogiversary, -V-!!!

That was this past Saturday, 9/27.  If you haven't been to Committee In My Head, stop reading my stupid blog and go read a real one.

Full Disclosure

We're friends, right?

I can share anything with you, no matter how embarrassing?

I was at that den of iniquity, County Market, when I came upon the cereal aisle, as I often do. There I noticed a new cereal in with the entertainment franchise product tie-in cereals. When marketers put that big yellow "New!" on the box, it's me they have in mind. I'm such a sucker for that stuff, especially related to cereal and pop.

I PURCHASED A BOX OF HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL CEREAL.

The saddest part? It's really good, and I might go get some more, as I think it's on sale 2/$5. None of those gross marshmallows - just yummy corn crunch.

While we're at it - what's the deal with High School Musical? I think it was a theatrical-release movie, and then there was a Disney Channel-only (or straight to video-only?) sequel, and I think there is going to be a third one coming up. Let me know if I have my facts wrong. Is it also a TV show or something? It seems to be quite a cultural phenomenon. Lately on Yahoo when you start typing, it makes a list of suggested searches that matches what you're typing. You only have to get out "h-i-g" before the top suggestion is "high school musical". Has anybody seen this thing? Is it any good? How old and out of touch do I sound?

Thank You, Current

I rarely turn on the radio, but this morning I ended up on the folk-y morning show of 89.3 The Current. After a little talk, Jim Ed Poole, etc., the first song I hear is . . . Over The Rhine! "Trouble" from their playful and seductive album "Trumpet Child." I believe this marks my first time hearing them on the radio. Looking back over their archives, it looks like the Current morning show has played almost every song from that record this year. Nice going! Just another reason to love the Current. The fact that OTR doesn't have major music market popularity is indicative of severe problems with the music industry. I can't believe in an artistic system that doesn't adore Over The Rhine.
