Pull Out the What What?

How bad is it that there’s a commercial on TV that I actually look forward to? I know it’s silly, but every time I hear that lady in the Sprint commercial say, “You want me to put my hand in the what? And pull out the what what?” (while looking at a large uncooked turkey), I laugh.

Outta Gas

The pilot light on my heater keeps going out. Brrr…it’s cold in here.

The Meaning of Freya

I had no idea that the name my cat had when I adopted her had any special meaning. Then, I read this entry on my cat calendar today:

“In Norse mythology, as in legends of other cultures, cats are associated with fertility. Freya, the Scandinavian goddess of love and fertility, is pictured in a carriage drawn by cats and Friday, named for her, is considered a lucky day for marriage.”

Guess I’ve been pronouncing her name wrong…I’ve been saying it “Fray-a” – perhaps it’s “Fry-a.” Oh, I’m not saying it wrong per www.m-w.com. And they say she’s the Norse goddess of love and beauty.

Homeland Security

Now this is scary. Here”s an excerpt:

If the Homeland Security Act is not amended before passage, here is what will happen to you:

Every purchase you make with a credit card, every magazine subscription you buy and medical prescription you fill, every Web site you visit and e-mail you send or receive, every academic grade you receive, every bank deposit you make, every trip you book and every event you attend — all these transactions and communications will go into what the Defense Department describes as “a virtual, centralized grand database.”

Blame Canada?

As I was driving home from work one day last week, I heard a news story about phone fraud on NPR. Turns out that in about 80% of the phone fraud cases in the US, the money people were defrauded of was paid out to telephone frauders in Canada. Seems like Americans are suckers for those polite, Canadian phone voices…

One Cool Product?

Okay, I just saw a story about this product on the local news. I’m ashamed to say it’s locally produced. Why in the world would you need/want such a thing?

A Day Early – For Once

So, I’m taking my garbage out – proud of myself for remembering to do it before I got ready for bed. I’m halfway to the curb when I realize… it’s not garbage day tomorrow. D”oh!

Slobs Make Better Lovers

Heh, there’s just really not a lot of “clean” comments one can make about this story.

Boomtown

If you aren”t watching Boomtown, what the heck is wrong with you? (Well, except for this week’s ep, it’s been great.)
