If you’re a regular visitor to my blog, you already know by now that I suffer from insomnia. I woke up at like 4am the other morning. Since I was awake, I turned on the television. I don’t have digital cable in my bedroom, but I have it in other parts of the house. And there’s not a whole helluva lot on at 4am on basic cable except for infomercials, so I decided to watch one. It turned out to be one of those Time Life CD collections.

Last year I blogged about how I bought the soft rock collection after watching the infomercial. But this particular infomercial was about Time Life’s Midnight Soul collection. Oooooh, slow jams. So out walks this couple who are hawking the Midnight Soul box set of cds, and it’s Dondre Whitfield and Salli Richardson-Whitfield.

When did this happen? Is work that scarce in Hollywood? I know damn near every television show that Dondre winds up on gets canceled. He’s like the Bokeem Woodbine of television. Every show Dondre signs on as a regular flops, so I understand his need for the hustle, but I kinda expected a little bit more from Salli. Were Kenny Lattimore and Chanté Moore busy? *insert sarcasm* Not hardly.

30 minutes of Salli and Dondre talking about love songs. They were so boring, I drifted back off to sleep. Their level of enthusiasm (or should I say lack of) was better than taking Nyquil. Knocked me out for the rest of the night.
