Jumping the gun

So what downloads from the backbrain this morning? The opening scenes of the second book in a series I haven't even synopsized yet.

In other news, I did check out the Sony Bravia commercial that's been making the rounds, and it is visually striking. But I prefer the Panasonic HDTV commercial because of one little scene. A funeral party is walking down a dusty road. Everyone is somber except for one woman. She's attractive. 30ish. Like everyone else, she's wearing a black coat, but hers has fallen open to reveal a tomato red dress. The expression on her face is...triumphant? Satisfied? A priest is leading the party--he glances back at her, obviously disturbed by her display. The entire scene spans maybe 10 seconds, and packs an entire story into that time.

Ok, so maybe I prefer that commercial for the wrong reasons. I still prefer it.

Well, at least now I know what they hell they were doing at Union and Leavenworth that time. Visually interesting, but hard on the street trees and plantings. Haven't seen the Panasonic commercial, but I assume it has nothing to do with the product either? Kinda amusing that companies are trying to advertise the uniqueness of a product where they aren't even the OEM and all they are responsible for is the external design, logo, and price tag.

In a way, that funeral commercial didn't do its job, because I remembered the scene but didn't catch the product/brand until the third or fourth viewing.
