How is it ...

... that I had never seen this commercial until the commercial for that "Funniest Commercials of 2007" show started running?

Oh, Federline. When did you stop being such a douchebag?

... okay, maybe not stop being a douchebag. More like become a likable douchebag, I suppose. :)

(Note: My opinion should probably not be trusted as I also list Chad Michael Murray as a lovable douchebag in my head. And I misspelled Chad as Cad before I fixed it, which is fairly apt and delightfully Victorian, don't you think? ;))

Most awesome toy EVER.

So I finally got my Fly pen to work. I just needed to go get a new memory card for my laptop (you need to have at least 512 MB of RAM, which I didn't think to check, DUH) but I did and got it home and popped it in all by myself (and Geek Squad wants to charge forty bucks to do that? The HELL?!) and now I'm all set.

THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!

Oh, man, I love this thing. This is so neat! Finally, if I feel like writing something longhand I don't have to be annoyed at the thought of typing it all up later. I'm swooning here.

Pros:

-- If nothing else, your handwriting will improve by default. What I've discovered about my own handwriting is that I really have to stop writing a plus sign instead of "and" (which I already knew), my lower-case F's look upper-case, and my apostrophes need to look more definite.
-- There's a part of me that really likes all the dorky kid games and the extra shit that's on the pen, even if I would rather it were better at getting used to my handwriting.
-- My mom got me the memory expansion add-on, so now if I want to slap on some extra games and stuff, I can. (I don't really have much desire to put MP3s on there. I mean, I have a 30Gb Zen, for God's sake.)

Cons:

-- The notebooks are only about a hundred pages and cost something like seven bucks. Which, you know, I'm lamenting NOW, but I'm used to buying a notebook because it's so very, very pretty, getting it home, using about ten or fifteen pages and then spotting another notebook in Borders or something and completely forgetting about filling up my last one. I'm kind of a notebook whore, I think. (I plan on picking up another one when I get paid next week.)
-- My mom also got me the Journal expansion pack. Which is nice and all, and the book itself is very cute, but it keeps telling me to upload the program to the pentop every time I try to write in it. So there's THAT to fix.

I still don't get why they don't market this to adults. PRETTY. Between this and the flastscreen I'm so fucking giddy with my Christmas presents this year. :)

EDIT: Oh, man, are you freaking kidding me? That Sex guy from So You Think You Can Dance tried out for Make Me A Supermodel! They show him trying out in the commercial, looking as unsexy as you'd expect. Why, show? Why do you have to do this to me? I wasn't even going to watch you, damn it!
