Truth in Marketing



One of my part-time employees showed me these fancy smokes he picked up the other day. I didn't try them out at the time, but the concept rubs me the right way. While most cigarette companies try to market their coffin nails as refreshing or cool, these are marketed as just what they are; a sure ticket down the road to the ever-after. Marketed by the Enlightened Tobacco Company, these smokes aren't kidding around: Death Lights. Doesn't get any more simpler than that.
Oh, and it snowed here today. Thought you'd like to know.

Must be February

Feb. is here and that means a weekend home sick in bed. Worse than usual because this time I've really been sleeping instead of the usual sit in bed and read, or organize e-mail. I did take a few minutes to start checking out Bento from Fiemaker, a very cool looking app that can really help me organize contact information for Four Seasons plethora of part-time teachers. Not sure what else it'll work for as yet, but for 50 bucks, that'll do pig, that'll do.
I also watched a wacky Japanese TV stunt on You Tube:

Which made my poor wife cry when she watched it.
as well as Weird Al's 'White and Nerdy': <>
-yes, I realize that this came out two years ago, but golly, I've been trying to keep up with Lost, Prison Break, BSG, not to mention Dexter! I'm only one person you know...
Sorry, must be the cold medicine talking.
Hey, I just realized that I've reached day 150! Cool!
