My adoration for Top Chef knows no bounds. To be truthful, I just love me some Bravo TV. Between Project Runway and Top Chef, for reality TV, Bravo is where it's at, yo. :D
Chop and I did watch Top Design and Shear Genius, and save for a couple of shining ...

Recent article I came across.. Attention Shoppers! Student probes schism between Target, Wal-Mart
Yup, a college kid in Colorado wrote a paper on it for a class.
And let me tell you, it's the exact. same. conclusion. that we all came to in November of '05.
Target.. woohoo!
Walmart... gaaaaah.

Saturday began as a rather typical weekend day. Reggie woke us up around 9ish (rather, 7 first, then 9ish, and to be true, she woke up the Porkchop, then I wandered out about an hour later), we lazed about on the couch, debating which errands we had to run first ...

It's 90 degrees right now.
That's hot. It's so hot the cats and the dog are completely mellow... lying about, as close to the A/C as possible... oddly similar to what the Chop and I are doing.
Also, playing Civilization 4, which will probably turn out to be the end of both ...

NPR did a piece yesterday on All Things Considered about improving customer service calls... they also did one on advertising, which actually was my favorite piece, but that's not the point. Anyway, the one on customer service calls caught my attention.
They ran a clip of a (simulated) actual customer service ...

Esquire magazine sent blank napkins to authors large and small and asked for a story.
Quite the study in writing fiction.
I almost wish my creative writing prof had made us do this.

The best (and possibly worst) part about where we live is that I'm beginning to feel as if I'm constantly on vacation.
Don't get me wrong. We get up early.. the dog has a small bladder.. and we work all day during the week, but it just doesn't seem as ...

I've been to 10 funerals.
I figured that out last week, as I went to King's dad's wake.
10. Three grandparents, three pseudo grandparents, a friend's mom when we were in high school, someone who eventually would've been family... old age, heart attack, cancer, suicide. Myriad reasons that all lead to one ...

My laptop has died.. we have no real idea what the fuck happened, except that a four-legged, wagging creature knocked it off the couch to the floor when I was in bed. It won't turn on. That's it's only flaw. No damage apparent, it just won't turn on.
I took ...

My friend King's dad died this weekend. He'd had a heart attack a few weeks ago, but according to King had been doing just fine.
It always sucks when someone you know, someone who is relatively close in age to yourself, loses a parent. Particularly for someone like him, who lost ...
