Unless, of course, it’s that new crayon smell paired with new crayon names.
To celebrate the 110th anniversary of the invention of Crayolas, the company asked fans to suggest new monikers for the original eight colors.
And boy, did the fans have fun.

At age 17 Scott Gamm started his own personal finance blog, Help Save My Dollars. Now a business major at New York University’s School of Business and contributor to websites from The Huffington Post to TheStreet.com, he apparently decided he isn’t quite busy enough.
So he wrote a book.
“More Money, Please: The Financial Secrets You Never Learned in School” is a good primer both for those just starting out and those who, well, never learned what they needed to know in school.
Know someone like that? Enter to win this book and give it to him or her. You might change a life.
I wonder who makes up the fragrance combos for places like Victoria’s Secret? Is it the same person who writes the descriptions of these products?
Like the folks who give new names each season to basic colors of paint, fabric and cosmetics, these people have interesting imaginations.
I thought of that as I read the description of this week’s giveaway, the “Pure Daydream” gift set: Its fragrance is touted as “pearl orchid and pink currant.”
Anybody know offhand what those things smell like? Me either.
Last night I hit the midnight movie with my friend Linda B., who agrees with me that there’s no sense seeing “Iron Man 3″ during the day when we’re well-rested.
There’s just something fun about being there at 12:01 a.m. the day it opens, especially for a popcorner like this one.
I hope to see a lot of other movies this year, with Linda or with my niece and her boys. Maybe you want to go to the movies, too, but are horripilated by the price of the tickets.
I can help: This week I’m giving away two $15 gift cards to Regal Cinemas.

It’s pretty similar. Actually, it’s identical: The Sports Authority chain has donated another $50 in store scrip.
