Well, I got a Sharp Acquos from the Circuit City going out of business sale. I'll be reading a manual and setting it up tomorrow. Probably after I clean my dirty and messy house.

Cute 5th Grader!

I love that they gave this 5th grader press credentials!

This American Life's Inauguration Show is very interesting. Particularly the first half about conservatives that are okay with Obama winning.

How do you pick a TV?

There are so many options.....

I've decided that it's either the Sony Bravia, Sharp Aquos or Vizio. I'm thinking 1080p at 32". That said, I can't decide which brand, or if I should pick Best Buy because of the service plan. Any thoughts?

Mucinex is a wonder drug.

Oh Jordan!

Do I Know You?

With a rare day off, one must take advantage of the opportunity to run errands. My usual grocery store closed for the holiday, so I took a trip to the local not-Pick n Save grocery store. It has a warehouse feel, but lacks the membership fees that typically accompany that atmosphere. I took my list and methodically selected the groceries from the shelves, only finding one impulse item. I had parked at the small entrance, and so I passed all the registers on the large side. There were three open registers by the small entrance, and I chose the smallest line. The cashier pulled my cart to the register. I handed my bags to the bag boy and turned to greet the cashier. The cashier kept her head down. She looked up to type on her register. She looked familiar.... I glanced at her name tag "Susie"**. That name.... Suddenly I remembered an associate that I'd terminated for theft. I took my receipt and my purchases, and hurried towards the door.

**Name changed because I signed the confidentiality part of the ethical standards at work.
