Diet soda linked to weight gain?

Aha! I knew there had to be a logical explanation that didn't include chocolate!

ebay "catalog"

I got an ebay catalog in the mail yesterday. It's the weirdest thing; it looks just like a regular catalog, it shows products and either "average" or "starting from" prices of items that apparently have been bought/sold on ebay in a 90 period from February through April. So it tells you that there are chrome faucets available starting from $24.99 and it provides the search term (CHROME FAUCET) that you should use.

It's a nice looking catalog with good production values. And although I never would have thought of the concept, I bet a lot of people will now go looking for Ralph Lauren sheets (new from $11.99) just because they're featured on page 13.

Weird.

Eat a lot of peaches...

Looking out my patio window at this exact moment, I can see a squirrel, a bunny, and a duck. I feel like I moved to the country, not that I'm 100 yards off one of the busiest roads in the city.

All the excuses you could ever need

Uh, I'd update my blog more frequently if not for all "the fat electrons in the lines."

Show me!

Perhaps God wants me to ride the bus. Could it be any easier than having a PSTA representative take me for my first ride?

Death after Disney

You take your life in your own hands when you travel with me. I ought to come with a federal warning.

I hope he got a good tip!

I guess this is supposed to make this guy some sort of hero, but I find it rather disturbing, particularly the part where he says he was going to run over the would-be robbers.

Then I was going to say that it's a good thing that I would never order from Hungry Howie's anyway -- blech -- but now I'm afraid that the pizza guy might come after me!

Quiz show!

I started by taking the Odd Jobs of the Rich and Famous quiz, wondering if it would give me insight into my next career. It did not.

But then I took the 8th grade math quiz and I got 10/10 correct! So perhaps my next career should be as an 8th grade math student! Hmmm...

But quizzes are fun anyway, and there's even one that mentions Hoosiers!

Sure could use a little good news...
