Although I know a lot of people are all "fangirl squee" about Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, I've always been mostly "meh".  I mean, it's good ice cream, I just think the difference in flavor between that and ordinary store-brand ice cream is at least an order of magnitude less than the difference in price.

That being said, I think I'm going to end up ( Read more... )

In Friday's ad for CompUSA ( which I just now got around to reading ), there is an ad for a Mitsubishi DLP HD rear projection TV.

A TV whose diagonal measurement is 73", or, for those of you more accustomed to sensible rather than traditional units, 1.854 Meters.

Its width is less than an inch shy of my height.  granted, I'm on the short side, ( Read more... )

It's been almost a year since I last gave in to the temptation to post something from the LOLcat family of websites, but this one had me laughing too hard to pass up.

Whether or not you would apply the schadenfreude label to the latter emotion, last night I was certainly feeling it to the utmost -- all because of a commercial I happened to see on TV.  It seems that ( Read more... )

I usually don't pay attention to the bit of the Late Late show where they tell who the guests will be for the next night, so I couldn't have warned those on my FriendsList who are serious Nathan Fillion fans to tune in last night.  Even so, I probably wouldn't have know just from the schedule that he would be

As I have said before, because I work the night shift I usually tape programs that air while I'm asleep, to watch after work, so I only just got around to last night's "Tonight Show".  One of the bits they did was called "Famous Dates and the Next Day", in which Jay listed certain things that happened throughout history, and the little known things ( Read more... )

Don't forget to make ( or purchase ) pie(s) for pi day -- at least those who use US style date notation ( 3-14 ). 
Only six years left until the really big one -- 3-14-'15.
