1. have you seen the "sour chicken" ford focus commercial? yeah, it's pretty stupid.

2. while shopping for new kitchen cabinets, we ran across a picture of an office room with a 5ft tall globe. we thought it would be cool to have because (we both simultaneously said) we wouldn't have to water it. yeah, not plant people.

3. the past two days, i have had indoor workouts. this was partially due to the weather, which although i like the grey days i just didn't feel like running through it, and partially it was to get a little cross training and a lot of stretching and some strength work. yeah, i just wanted to read my book.

4. i am shopping for some new shoes, found some cute ones online but think i might look for them at the local store. i've been burned before by ill-fitting mail-order shoes, while i have also been burned by not finding shoes at the store that were available online. yeah, it's confusing.

5. we got a new dvr today. the old one was acting up, so we called AT&T about it, and they said - reboot. so we did, and it was okay for a while then started wacking out again. so we called AT&T about it, and they said, get a new HD cable. so we did, and it was okay for like, a day, and then it started going all wackadoodle again. so we called AT&T about it -- again! -- and finally they sent someone over and he took like one look and said, your dvr is old as dirt and you need a new one and here's a new remote too and have a nice day. yeah, good service is hard to come by.
