I remembered a while ago, that Puppy Bowl was soon!

I am excited, and I am throwing a Puppy Bowl viewing. So much cooler than a Super Bowl viewing. What number Super Bowl is this, anyway? KWYJIBO?

...

Anyway. I've decided that Puppy Bowl lends itself well to a drinking game, as watching cute puppies and kittens for three-ish hours would have to.

From the starting lineup, I think Moose may be my favorite. Or maybe the mini pinschers.

Anyway, the drinking. I guess since it's a Sunday, I should probably keep the drinking light. I also need to figure out what warrants a drink.

Here's one set of rules.

I might keep those.

I also think collective "aww"ing or squealing should warrant a drink. Or when your favorite puppy comes onto the field. Or whenever there is a penalty. And puns! Puns are drink-warranters. Bowl-cam, it should warrant a drink, obviously.

Ooooh Parrot singing the anthem!

Ref Andrew looks much better with a face-rat.

and I'm trying to avoid it.

For some reason, this gif makes me laugh.

I'm not quite sure why.

Poor circuit city, they are down for the count. :(

Who will I buy my electronic goods from now?

We all know how I utterly detest The Great Evil. Why couldn't they have gone out of business?

Why couldn't all of their stores spontaneously and simultaneously combust?

Poor Circuit City.

So I was crusin' for a bruisin' on imeem, and I came across this taiko drum master song called "jingisukan", which is actually supposed to be "Dschinghis Khan" by a group of the same name. I went to youtube to find this song to send to my friend, and end up at one of those weird "let's write what it sounds like in english" videos for their song "Moscow".
I'm entertained.

And it isn't even noon-thirty.

Hp cannot seem to understand this thing called "send the box to this address" with 100% consistency.

My box is at home, four hours away, completely blipping useless to me. Every time I call them I have to call them again to change the address, and god only knows if it's going to be the right address. This time I called them twice, they had the right address, BOTH TIMES, and my box is still four hours away. What in the world is so hard about overwriting an address or even processing that billing and shipping addresses are not always the same?! Augh. I am really tired of dealing with this, but if I wait too long, it will be out of warranty... >.>

I'll call them after 9, when it's free.

I have had a head-eye-ache since last night, if I close my eye too hard or poke my eye or something like that, it hurts. Maybe it's stress. Then I bumped my temple against Dave's head, so that doesn't help either. Maybe it's the book I just read.

It's still cold outside, the high today is projected to be 16F, and the low, -1F.

I really want that apple, so I'm gonna brave the cold around 1.30 and go get it. I'm also gonna check the mail. I'll have to super-bundle up, it's currently 12F and feels like -3. Winds are WNW at 10 to 20 mph.

Is today a lottery day? I think it is. But it's only up to 12M. Funny how they call it Mega Millions, where Mega is 10⁶... which is a million...

I always thought the phrase "Megameter" was amusing, but everyone else seems to use thousand km... so boring.

I'd love to go do something today, what, I'm not sure.

I'm an awful person, I delight in the downfall of companies. Goody's is going down, as is Circuit City, and B. Moss keeled over too. It means I get things for cheaaaap! Cheapy cheap cheap, though I'm not sure what sorts of things I need.

I realize I could use the Goody's shuttering to redo/insert some style into my wardrobe, but I have so many clothes... Woo! it feels like -2F now.

With HP!

I got my computer back from repairs, and it seems doubly wonky.

But apparently this guy only sees that I have asked for a CD door and a display hinge to be repaired. Wonderful.

He's trying to treat this as a separate case, when it isn't.

Thanks whoever put in my problem-ticket, you can't put in a proper ticket! Grar!

I wonder if they will ever look at my letters of "hey! thanks for your time, but I don't trust the CSRs to take my information after the crap of Best Buy!" and say "wow, this woman is bonkers."

I'm asking them to replace a screw. >.>

But no, that's not why I'm seriously calling them. My computer was overheating, but maybe once or twice a week. Now I can't do anything taxing, like playing a flash game or installing software/updates, lest my computer shut down. And even then it's not hot to the touch at all!

How does one live without flash games?

I began to wonder if maybe there were some odd setting in the bios, where maybe it turns off power-stepping or something. But then I thought about it, and realized that this isn't the first time they've replaced the system board, and even out of the box (aka factory settings), it did not have this problem.

Back on the phone! Woohoo. They can't get my address right.

Sheeesh that took long enough.

SO.

I was traipsing through the Barbie aisle at The Great Satan, aka Wal-mart.

What do I see?

A drag-tastic barbie doll.

She is dressed flamboyantly, and best of all? Her stand. It plays Supermodel by Ru Paul!!!

I NEEEEEED this doll. Now.

I also saw a "The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock Barbie, and ahhhh I want it as well.

So I am on Mattel's website, and not only do they have Ru Barbie, they have Afro-tastic disco Barbie and generic disco-Barbie. I like afrotastic better, even though generic comes in purple.

There is also Angel Birthday Barbie, she sings, but not anywhere near as awesome as Supermodel Birthday Barbie.
