Amazon Pre-pre-pre-order

Tuesday, December 27th, 2005

Looking at my amazon recomendations I came across this pre-order recomendation for Jan 2010. How the heck would I know what I want to buy 4 years from now? Are the going to float the charge for that long? Will I even have the same credit cards? Will Amazon.com be overrun by a meniacal machine [...]

Would You Like a Reuben, Mr. Yakomoto

Tuesday, November 1st, 2005

I had a very sickening experience the other night. The Short Hills Deli (which is more of a diner) now has LCD billboards that scroll advertisements while you eat. I will not be returning to the diner for a sit-down meal until they remove this intrusion. We all know what is next and I do [...]

A sad day for the medical profession.

I called my doctor\’s office this morning, and to my dismay, found out that my doctor has retired. I was completely shocked because she is so young. She just had a child a couple of years ago, so hopefully she has retired to spend time with her family and not because of an illness or [...]

Velvet Revolver
Contraband
Sucks. No Stars For You!
I had so many hope for this one. But all of my hopes were pooped on. I seriously plan on returning the cd.
Soap Box:
Not only was the music so terrible that I had to stop it, but they are a bunch of sell outs. I attempted to listen to [...]
