inThought that Sarah McLachlan dog ad was overhyped until I watched it at 2am in my kitchen
That beagle shivering shot is the oldest trick in the book, one sad animal plus slow zoom equals wallet open, and it works on everyone at 2am. Ad agencies know exactly what they're doing with that puppy footage, so congrats on funding their next commercial with your pizza hands.

inShowerthought: I paid $40 for one of those 'as seen on TV' itch relief gadgets and it did nothing
My mom bought a $60 "miracle" hair removal thing off a 3am infomercial back in 2019 and it just made her arm smell like burnt toast. These late night ads know we're tired and our guard is down, so they hit us right in the wallet. At least your cold spoon only cost you 40 bucks and a little pride.

inShowerthought: I quit Breaking Bad at season 3 and finished The Wire twice, and I think I made the right call
Watched The Wire three times myself, and yeah, Breaking Bad just drags for me after a while lol.

inTIL a 68 year old diver in Port Arthur taught me to read my umbilical by feel before every splash
That line about eyes lying in low light is the real deal. I worked deck for a few years before I ever got wet and the old guys would hand-over-hand the whole line on the surface before it ever got hooked up, looking for those soft spots that come from rubbing against the cage. What got me was how much smoother the whole run feels once you know every inch of what's feeding you air. Now I catch myself doing it on the surface line too, even on a 20 foot bounce dive in a marina.
