Meanderings 5

1. Don't you hate it when you are wicked thirsty, so you fill up a glass with ice, and then pour some iced tea, water, root beer, or what have you into a glass, and then when you go to drink it, you want to take a huge gulp, because you are so thirsty after all, but one of the ice cubes "dams" up against your top lip, and you can't get the deluge of iced tea, water, root beer, or what have you down your throat?

2. When did "BACK TO SCHOOL" become a holiday? They sure treat it like one. If you think about it, stores have sales for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, St Patricks Day, Labor Day, and more. So where does Back to School Day fit in to this? They have big sales with "back to school" savings. Kind of weird. Time to slow down. Take it easy.

3. Since 6pm this evening, Amanda has been watching a "special" on QVC about "Bare Escentuals" makeup. It is 7:30 right now. So, basically, she has been watching a two hour commercial. On purpose.

4. Coors Light has this new gimmick super-stupid can out: you put the beer in the fridge, and when the beer reaches the perfect cold temperature, the "mountains" in back of the logo turn blue. Is that what has happened to us? Do we need someone to tell us when our beer is cold enough? Is it getting too stressful for people to do THIS. I'm not a smart man, but it seems to me that if you can't tell when you're beer is cold, you're probably not responsible enough to be drinking it.

5. In a few years, the words iPod, iPhone, and iMac will all be in the dictionary, and this will be pretty momentous, since they will be the first "proper nouns" without a capital letter. Betcha didnt think of that, huh? And this will piss off a whole generation of English teachers, who will most likely lobby for it to be IPod or IPhone, which is also cool, because then they will be the first proper nouns with TWO capital letters.

6. Its funny how we Americans can't understand why other countries laugh at us.

7. The Secret Service isn't really that "secret" anymore. I think the cat's out of the bag boys . . .sorry. Just because we can't see your eyes through your aviator glasses doesn't make you all that "secret."

8. I've got a great idea for a new cereal: Oatmeal-Cream-Pie mini's. Little pies in cereal form. Breakfast is fun again. And kids everywhere can say "why not Mom? Its made with OATMEAL!"
