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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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