cinnamon takes a back seat to no babka

Okay okay! I like Kelly Clarkson. There, I said it.

It's like that episode of Seinfeld, the one with the black & white cookie. Jerry and Elaine are sitting in a bakery discussing cinnamon vs. chocolate babka. Elaine questions the legitimacy of cinnamon babka and Jerry vigorously defends it! He says something to the effect of "Anytime you ask someone 'what makes this so delicious?', the answer invariably comes back 'CINNAMON'."

This exactly parallels my recent radio-listening experience. Every day I find myself in my car, listening to the radio and wondering, "who sings this catchy little ditty?" and the answer, invariably, comes back "KELLY CLARKSON."

Every single time.

Yeah... Sally (my wife, for those of you keeping score) downloaded a Kelly Clarkson single off of iTunes and I gave her no small measure of grief over it until I actually heard the song.

Catchy, damnit... so... catchy... sigh...

This comment is not really responding to this particular blog, but rather all the blogs I've missed while I've been away/otherwise occupied. I just want to say thanks for brightening up my day when it was in serious need of brightening. In the immortal words of Ron Burgundy: "You are a deLIGHT!". (I'm pretty sure he said that.)

PS. I really like Kelly Clarkson too, and I say don't be ashamed. As a singer, let me tell you...she's one of the only girls I've seen get famous in awhile who actually has talent beyond getting undressed and dancing and moving their lips in time to a recording. Comfort yourself with that at night. It works for me. :)
