Several Random Thoughts, And Commercials I Hate (And CommercialsIHate.com)
I don’t have much to blog about, but despite that, I’m going go blog anyway. So here goes.
(I actually do have something I could blog about, but it’s going to take me a while to arrange all my thoughts on that subject, so I’ll hold it off a bit longer.)
Quick-hitters, a somewhat super-sized edition:
- Lack of sleep = bad.
Lack of sleep + red eyes every morning = really bad.
Lack of sleep + red eyes + a screwed-up sleep cycle = insanely bad.
Speaking of lack of sleep…
- I’ve gotten back to the habit of a cup of coffee or two daily. Normally, when I brew coffee with my Vietnamese coffee press, I don’t bother replacing the metal lid after pouring the water into the press.
A couple days ago, on a whim, I decided to try brewing the coffee with the lid on. Wow…what a difference!
(You would think that this is common sense; without the lid, steam can easily escape, rapidly cooling off the water being used to brew the coffee. Have you forgotten that I am an idiot?)
- Shot-Online update: my primary character, fdsfdsg, is a level 25 amateur, and I really have to get rid of this driver I’m using (power +5 is nice, but not at the expense of minus-2 points of impact).
I also had two of the worst rounds of my life (yes, even worse than when I was a beginner): +6 in nine holes on Alfheim (the beginner course), and +8 on six holes on NamChoc CC.
Gosh I suck.
- I filed nine rebates with Parago over the last few days. Five approvals, four rejections.
AKA par for the course.
Speaking of rebates…
- Current rebate-o-meter: $1,400. However, I have about $300 in rebates that have yet to be filed, and they must be postmarked by TOMORROW. Oops!
- In the pantheon of douchebag-y commercials, I think McDonald’s might finally be topped by another superpower retailer: Wal-freaking-mart.
(LOL. Just as I finished that sentence above, a McDonald’s commercial aired. I may have to reconsider my stance.)
Case in point: that stupid commercial with the mom, the kid strapped to her, and the little girl causing general mayhem, including spilling something on her shirt. Am I the only one that wishes he were in that commercial, so I could trip the kid?
Yes, I have problems.
Do you know why I can’t stand Wal-Mart? Do you need to ask? Wal-Mart commercials annoy me so much that they have influenced me to introduce a new category of blog topics: [bad] commercials!
(As an aside, while Googling another commercial I can’t stand—that Secret one where the girl has her hands raised throughout it—I stumbled upon this site: CommercialsIHate.com. Awesome site!)
OMFG! Another WalMart commercial just aired! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
That’s it for today.
