Love hurts

Or in this case… it kills!

This poor guy will never get a date again. Can you imagine the conversation?

Girl: “So, how come you and your last girlfriend aren’t still together?”

Guy: “Umm.. I killed her”

Girl: “Uhh..I gotta go wash my hair or something”

Now personally, I would think that if your girlfriend was allergic to peanuts… that you would be a little more careful what snacks you were eating around here.. or, at least always have a bottle of mouthwash handy if you just can’t resist the Reese’s Peanut Butter cups (and really, who can resist those.. yummy!)

Kael's Adventures

First Sleepover

Saturday night, Kael spent the night at his Nana’s.. it was the first time he’s spent the whole night someplace else.

He did a great job..he went to bed ok, then he mostly slept through the night (he was only up once I got told). This is a good thing, it means that when we have to leave him at one of the grandparents’ house when Vegas is being born, that it won’t be a huge pain for him.

And, it means we can get a night or two to ourselves between now and Vegas’ arrival.

Kael is turning into such a big boy!

Tech

Name Brand Confusion

OK.. once upon a time, there was a cell phone company called AT&T Wireless.. they sold themselves to a little company called Cingular Wireless, and then there was no more AT&T Wireless.. now.. while this sounds like a sad, sad story for little AT&T Wireless.. it doesn’t end there.. see, this other little company called SBC bought all of AT&T (the little, itty, bitty, phone company) and now that they have completed that little purchase.. they are changing the name of Cingular (who they own a good chunk of) back to…. wanna take a guess?

Yep..AT&T Wireles… only.. apparently, AT&T is no longer ‘cool, hip, and in touch with its youth’ so, the marketing type folks at SBC have decided to change the name to: at&t apparently.. they think this will make them part of the ‘in crowd’ since they won’t have to worry about the lazy people who always type with ‘u’ for you, 2 for two.. etc..etc.. having to remember to hit the shift key for all four characters, just for one…

I’m a Winner!

1 Comment

No I didn’t just win a 340 million dollar lotto.. or even a 3 dollar lotto, heck.. I didn’t even win a 1 dollar scratch ticket….. way back in August, my happy web provider Dreamhost was running a contest to have people edit up a short video they put online.. the grand prize for their contest was free lifetime hosting – at one of their ‘lower’ plans (even their lowest plan gives me way more disk space and bandwidth then I can actually use)… Today, they announced the winners, and no.. I did not win the grand prize.. or even the 2nd place..or the 3rd place.. all of those went to people that actually knew what they were doing when editing the movie..I won the consolation prize.. a free year of hosting! (and yes.. the consolation prize is better then no prize at all.. so don’t think I’m complaining) So.. now I’m not only a happy Dreamhost customer.. I’m a happier Dreamhost customer…

Funny Links

So, I found these links while I was at work yesterday:

This one from Craigslist – My favorite section:

A girl’s gotta’ eat. I mean, if she tries to pass celery and peanut butter off as a meal one more time, I’m calling someone.

If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m married, and this chick lives in Austin.. I’d have responded to this ad, I found it hilarious!

This one from the Sun. Just in time for the Holidays.. turn your iPod into a vibrator! Hey..if you’ve got a new video iPod… you can get everything at once..watch your porn while cranking up the volume to speed up the vibrator!

The £25 iBuzz connects up to the gizmo and pulses while each tune is played.

And last, but not least… don’t you just hate it when your Mom is right? Canadians have done a test that confirms that if you get cold, it makes it more likely for you to get a cold..

And getting your feet wet, they found, can triple the risk of developing cold symptoms such as sore throat, sneezing and coughing.

You know what this means? the end of nude skiing, and having sex outside in the middle of a blizzard..

Oh yeah.. in other new World of Warcraft has been updated to 1.8.3 and they’ve added a little launcher thingy..says it scans for virus and cheat programs… presumably that portion is winblows only

New Clothing

Japan appears to have come up with a solution to their energy problems.. see, they are asking people to just turn the heat down in their office buildings/homes/etc..

I hear you asking now “But, how will those poor Japanese people stay all warm and toasty this winter if they turn the heat down?” The answer is right here.

Yes, the Japanese have invented a heated bra! No more waking up in the morning, and having to worry about your boobs being cold all day, just throw the pads in the microwave for a few seconds..then throw ’em back in the bra.. and toasty warm breasts..and if they get chilly again? just whip those pads back out.. toss ’em in the microwave in the break room.. and then reinsert! What could be more simple?

Uhh..seriously.. do you girls really worry that much about the temperature of your boobs? First, we had the bikini that was supposed to keep your boobs cold, now we have the bra to keep them warm. If you’re indecisive, do you sew the two together and have one cold boob and one warm boob?

I mean.. c’mon.. I’m a big fan of boobs..but I think its gone a little far when you’re designing special garments to adjust their temperature.. you don’t see air conditioned or heated Men’s underwear now do you?
