during college, we used to road trip home for christmas. we'd start in colorado and wind down through new mexico, finally ending up in my hometown in globe, arizona. J would stay a few days, then continue on his way to his family in california. we had the best times on those road trips. we'd be stuck in the car for hours, and we never got tired of each other. we never ran out of things to talk about. we listened to our taped mixes and sang at the top of our lungs. we'd dance in our seats. we mastered the art of being the perfect passenger, dj and fast food feeder. he'd fill the gas tank. i'd wash the windows.
one of our favorite road trip activities was making up commercials. we developed an entire sequence of volvo commercials. the scenery, the characters, the car colors, the script. i loved those days.
J still makes up commercials. it's one of the things i love about him. these days, he records them in his treo/blackberry thingy. the ad execs for miller light need to look him up. he's got some killer beer spots.
they have great commercials on british tv. they are a bit more raw and in your face than american ads. and some are just so damn beautiful.
here's our recent fav from orange mobile. i stole this from my husband's blog -- but it's worthy of repeating:
man, i still get chills.
