'Hamstars' and 'Murder She Wrote'

Went to Pier 1 Imports today. That was pretty great, especially since I noticed a car that looked like...

THIS!

A good old Kia Soul. That right there on the hood...it says 'Hamstar'. That's right everybody, it was on the hood, and it was on the rear. My Mom and I ventured into the store and found one of the employees to help us out. She had noticed me taking a picture of the car, and said that I should have seen the other identical one that was parked right next to it earlier. I was pretty shocked...TWO Kia Souls with the same wording on the hood and rear! Then the woman mentioned how it is hers and the other is her sister's. Whoa...really good thing I did NOT make fun of the cleverness of the car because not only would I have offended her, but I would have offended her sister too! Double whammy right there. Anyway, she was saying how lots of people don't understand why she has the 'hamstar' on the car, but I told her I definitely knew that she was referring to the hamster commercials advertising for the Kia Soul and that I had her back. I definitely remember that advertisement as one of the strangest advertisements for a car that I had ever seen. Who wants to feel like they're the hamster in the car just like in the commercial when they drive the car. Sure, maybe they're free compared to the ones running in their hamster wheels...but by golly, they are still hairy, and still hamsters whether their hamstars or hamsters, it makes no difference to me. Though the commercials are pretty ridiculous, I gotta say, the 'hamstar' is really creative. Props lady. Props.

Moving on to another topic...

Murder She Wrote

Jessica Fletcher--best female detective

Murder She Wrote is known in my family as the most effective sleeping pill cable can buy. Something about the thrilling mystery has a way of causing heavy breathing and occasional snoring, depending on who is watching. My parents and I were watching some TV tonight and the movie ended that we were watching and lo and behold Murder She Wrote came on. Unlike many families, we fight to NOT have the remote so that we don't have to pick the next show or channel to watch. This was one of those moments. The remote was closest to me and so I put it near my Dad so that he could pick the next show even though he was playing an intense, timed game of solitaire. He finished the game, but didn't grab the remote so I told him to hurry up and change the channel or else we would all be asleep in 20 minutes! My parents got a kick out of that one, and agreed. They know Murder She Wrote is proven to cause them to fall asleep 98% of the time, every time.

So if you're ever in need of a good way to fall asleep, try it out! And if you need some testimonials, I can always get my parents to type something up on here too.
