Old MTV

August 6th, 2008

Remember when the MTV logo looked like this? That was when they started, back in 1982. I thought it was gaudy then …it looks positively sedate now. Sometimes I wax nostalgic for when MTV was, well, music TV, not stupid stuff like “Jackass.”

Fat Cat

August 2nd, 2008

This cat was found waddling around some town in NJ. Turns out it was abandoned by its owner, who was foreclosed on. Heh, I bet it ate her out of house and home. :)

Great Toilets

July 27th, 2008

A toilet encrusted with Swarovski crystals! Why didn’t I ever think of this? It would make a great crafts project. Wonder if I can find the crystals at Hobby Lobby.

If I get tired of gluing on crystals, I’ll just buy some fish and set this one up instead.

Gas

July 17th, 2008

Ah, the good old days.

 Of course, people thought gas was high even then.  I love all the articles  now about how besieged Americans are coping with high gas prices by [drumroll] not eating out as much. Or by brown-bagging their lunch. Oh, the horror.

Thumbdrives as Collectibles

July 13th, 2008

Here’s a thumbdrive the Lexus dealer sent me. A Lexus logo on it,  how cool is that? I think interesting thumbdrives may be a hot collectible down the road.

Deliveries from Amazon

I love getting boxes  with that “swoosh arrow” in the mail.

So ol’ Ed’s going into foreclosure. Everyone send him a donation, his wife might leave him if her credit cards are declined. :(

The Kindle

June 16th, 2008

This is how we store our books:

 In an effort to manage future purchases, we bought this:

What a great little toy! Lightweight, with a crisp, clear screen. Only disadvantage is that I forget my books at airport lounges and other places. That might now prove costly.

Sex and the City

June 13th, 2008

Oooh, I saw this yesterday.  Fun movie, but mostly I just cried, drooled and lusted over the handbags. Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Chanel …they waved those things in my face for 2 1/2 hours. My financial goals of saving money have just been flushed down the toilet. I’m saving for a shopping trip to NY instead.  Or maybe I’ll just cash in the kids’ college funds.

Ms Pacman

June 13th, 2008

This game ruled. Whatever happened to it? All I ever see kids doing now is reading manga and chasing Mario around on the Wii.
