Monday afternoon musings…
comics and animation, dining and cuisine, everyday glory, games, geekery, IKEA, monkeys!, news and info, office antics, politics and law, sports, The Covet List, toys, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...?! August 11th, 2008Drew and Mark were heading over to Cafe Blue for lunch. I tagged along to see if they had anything that looked interesting and worthwhile. I wound up getting a chicken fajita panini; it was pretty good. And it wasn’t very spendy, either.
Stray Toasters
- The 2009 IKEA catalog is available online.
- A few weeks/months ago, I started an Amazon Wish List, which I not-so-coincidentally named “The Covet List.” While eating lunch, I tried seeing if I could find a direct link to the list rather than having to go to the Amazon main page and then click through to it. I found it. Then I noticed that one of the items on my list, X-Men Darktide DVD Box Set, had a list price of $2.95 under “New and Used.” Curiosity got the best of me, so I clicked to see what the deal was. And there it was, listed under “Collectible” for $2.95, but it was for the DVD only. There was another item listed there for $5.95, with the descriptor: “Like New.” So I read the item details:
Comments: JUST THE DVD MOVIE! (no dolls).
*blink blink*
Wait… but it said “Like New.” To me, that means: “We’ve watched the DVD and played with the figures, but they are all included.” I commented on this towho just said: “Sure, it’s like new… if you by it from someplace that sucks.”
- I brought my Sennheiser headphones up here from the south office. I had forgotten both how good they sound and how well they drown out the sound of the office.
- By way of Drew: Freak Accident – Revolving Door
- The picture in this article almost… ALMOST… made me like the Shrub. Who knows, if it had been around a few years ago, I might have held out a smidgen of hope for the guy. Oh, well.
- Or this one.
- Or even this one.
- Laminate the Masses
*voop*
