I know that it's pretty late to be posting anything Christmas related seeing as stores are already slashing prices on items related to Santa and the sort, but listen to David Sedaris' dairy of when he worked at Macy's as an elf in the early nineties for a good laugh.

It's alive!
Holy frigging crap! I fixed my keyboard. I thought that I'd never type on the thing again. Four months after it stopped working, it starts acting how it should again. All it took was installing the drivers. I blamed Logitech when the real problem was my refusal to install their software. I'll never doubt them again. Their Cordless MX Duo is a superior product.

Hey! Spring of Trivia
Did you know that Chinese infants wear crotchless and bottomless pants instead of diapers? I didn't, but thanks to Spike TV's latest Japanese import Hey! Spring of Trivia I do now. "Knowing is half the battle!"

Flip Flap: Because flip flops will soon be yesterday's news.
Flip Flap from the makers of Hidamari No Tami are pretty neat trinkets. These objects of unnecessary cool are available for purchase at Audio Cubes.

Robots play Nintendo too.
Mankind took another step towards creating robots that will outsmart and eventually destroy us by creating one from legos that can beat the first level of the original Super Mario Bros. The only way to prevent our terminator-esque downfall is to place a small child near it as he would surely smash it to pieces like anything else built with legos.

Currently Watching: Arrested Development Season One DVD
Arrested Development is such a good show that it probably will get canceled after the upcoming season. That's what happened to Undeclared, Freaks and Geeks, and Andy Richter Conrtols the Universe so I have no reason to believe otherwise. Tragic.

Perhaps the most sinister thing ever put on a key chain (apart from Etch-A-Sketch and those laser pointers)
During one of my recent aimless surfing sessions I stumbled across TV-B -Gone , a small key chain device that lets people turn off any make of TV. I have a feeling that Adbusters readers are going to go crazy with these things during TV turnoff week.

Spicy or no spicy?
I’m no closer to a paragraph with this:
Me: We go way back.
A friend: Huh?
Me: I mean chives with chicken and I. We’re tight.
A friend: Hmm. Ok.
Me: I’ve known you for four years. I’ve known combo 2 for longer.
A friend: Awesome.

New blog. Same great taste.
For one reason or another, I've run away from Xanga and have found new refuge here. I suppose this just feels more legit and less juvenile. Hopefully my new evironment will inspire me to start writing entire paragraphs again.
