We got the Thule goodies with the short but tall exursion box. It looks cute, but strange on the Golf, but hey, it is what we need, so who cares.
I’d go take a picture of it, or even write more, but there is a pink/purple blob coming towards us and I need to unplug lots of electronics and stuff.
I will say.. that we were getting the Thule installed when over the radio we heard John Entwistle of The Who died. Heart attack. Oi vey!
Moja died June 6th. Sadly, this is the first I am hearing about it, some three weeks later. /sigh
He’s back baby! The Sock Puppet, formerly of Pets.com fame is coming back to work with 1-800-BAR NONE.
?… ‘I was down and out for a while. I sure know what its like to have less than perfect credit. Fortunately, 1-800 BAR NONE rescued me and gave me a second chance. Now, I?m the National Spokespuppet for 1-800 BAR NONE!’, exclaimed the 1-800 BAR NONE Sock Puppet.”
“We think the Sock Puppet is a perfect fit for 1-800 BAR NONE. The concept of the 1-800 BAR NONE Sock Puppet getting a second chance in his career ties beautifully to how 1-800 BAR NONE is able to help the consumer in a similar situation,? said Jim Crouse, President and CEO of 1-800 BAR NONE. And now, like the 1-800 BAR NONE Sock Puppet says, “Everyone deserves a second chance.?
I hope they are keeping the writer and voice of the sock puppet. So cute. I have all of the commercials saved on the server here. They are always good for a quick laugh.
We saw a Mini Cooper S on the VW lot today. Tempting, so tempting. Josh even liked it. If it wasn’t for the fact that it cost as much as the Golf, it would be very very tempting.
Lately i’ve seen that VW Cabriolet commercial a lot lately. You know, the one with the four people going to a party driving at night with the trees, stars, and such, then when they arrive at the party they decide that they like driving around better. Well, every time I see it, I think to myself, “Ahh, yes, I know that feeling. It’s a good feeling.” It’s just nice and peaceful, especially in late August, early September. /sigh
Ok, back to work. I napped for a couple hours and will go back to bed in a bit as well. I just have some things to do.
We’re home. Lots of stuff done today.
Five things off of my list, well 4.75 things. Went to two of our banks and handled that stuff. We also went to lunch at the indian/pakistani restaurant and had their lunch buffet. We will go there for dinner another day, so I will try their cauliflower then. I did have their lentil soup. I would say it is in first place, dethroning the little Greek place in NY that I do so love.
Also, Josh got a haircut, finally. It was looking shaggy… bad shaggy. I also went to Pier1. Normally I don’t go there, but they were having a 40% off sale and I figured I would scope out the prices of a few things. I ended up with the birthday present for Josh’s mom and an oriental style box. I bought it to use as a storage box for photos. I am tempted to go and get a couple more. They are quite large, very thick, and sturdy.
I also priced out some bottles. I want to start my herb collection over again. I used to have lots of them, but over time they’ve dwindled. I found some very nice bottle sets for an extremely reasonable price… and that’s their normal price. My only other idea was that I buy some containers (test tubes or vials) from America Science and Surplus. We really don’t want to do that, because I’ll start buying all sorts of junk that I don’t need!
I didn’t get much sleep last night, two hours total to be exact, so I may take a nap. Perhaps tomorrow we will run the speaker wires. Perhaps.
I really should think about sleeping, even if it’s just for a little. My sinuses have been wonky, but not too bad. I can’t sleep. It’s not insomnia, it is me thinking too much. I keep getting all of these little ideas and whatnot… which means I have to do something about them. Yeah, I know, I really should get to bed.
I have been doing a lot of research lately. Does anyone know about Card Service International’s online CC (E-commerce) interfacing? It’s been difficult to find the real info that I need and it’s holding down some work that I have been trying to do. Looks like I just need to sit down and really talk to a local rep or something. Hopefully they aren’t as evil as the Sprint Corporate reps I met once. They were really annoying. I have to get this stuff figured out, somehow.
Skittles is worried and really tired because I haven’t gone to sleep yet. She’s camped out in a cardboard box that I have sitting on it’s side. I haven’t the heart to use the box since she seems to like sitting in it so much.
Josh and I are going to go give the new Pakistani/Indian Restaurant (yes, that’s what it is labeled as.. the two, together!) for lunch. I believe they are open. I have to see how their cauliflower and potatoes (also sometimes refered to as Aloo Gobi) ranks with all the types I’ve tasted. My dad’s is by far the best, but maybe I’m just partial to it because it’s my dad’s cooking. Nah, Josh likes my dad’s cooking better than the restaurants. I think I might have made Josh happy at the idea that the new Middle Eastern/Mediteranean store might sell veggie samosas ready for the microwave! I think Josh, my dad, and I will have to make a stop at the Indian store near my parents. They happen to make some samosas that I know Josh likes.
Me want this and this and this and this and this and this!
If I had the right body for it, I’d want this, this, and this as well.
I went to try and find out how to spell something and came across this site. Some of those bridal gowns made me want to have a wedding… so I would have some place to wear something like that. Such gorgeous fabrics, cuts, and work… /sigh
hee hee. I was looking for a physical address (I’m organizing the addresses on my Clie) for Books24x7 since Josh still has friends there, and I looked at the page for the management team… scroll down to the last member.. hee hee. Very cute. I never noticed it before.
Give me a break. Lone Gunmen’s Pilot Episode
“The 12D plan is for a small group of government operatives to crash a jetliner into New York City in order to keep tensions high and increase arms sales.”
…
“They realize that the airplane will be remote controlled, just like Bert’s car was. Talking by phone to the Gunmen’s office, Byers asks Langly and Frohike to hack into the aircraft controls. They do and discover that the plane is programmed to crash into the World Trade Center.”
I think this is the second or third time I’ve mentioned this episode here, but come on.
Oh yeah, Josh mentioned this earlier. Ann Landers has passed. That’s just… weird. She’s been around all of my life. When I was done with the comics, I’d see what kind of wacky stuff was in the advice columns, now she’s gone. Add to that the complete weirdness of the death of the Cardinals pitcher Darryl Kile.
Well, I’m off to edit all of the addresses on my PDA. They need updating. Since I can’t get anything done with the Empire site due to the cable company’s problems, I shall do this. I can get to a few sites, but very few of them. Even this site is iffy. Go figure.
