www.messersmith.name/wordpress/2010/01/08/things-you-need/

As a Public Service and a personal means of making mischief, I'm presenting to you a range of products which will undoubtedly enhance your enjoyment of life, make you healthier, more attractive and possibly bring you a little good luck. As you may have heretofore been unaware of these necessities, I've kindly left the web site addresses of the advertisers plainly visible so that you may, if you so choose, purchase them from their esteemed vendors.

These items were carefully culled from "The Emporium" pages of The Atlantic,  a notoriously leftist rag which I study studiously each month. And now, I present the crème de la crème  of the lot.

Let's begin with a light dinner: You may be tempted by this, but I have multiple objections, one being sudden death by Anaphylactic shock. My allergy to shellfish toxin would do me in withing the hour. I have another nagging fear here. Is this stuff delivered to your door packed in dry ice? Contact the company for more information. Suggest to them that they send me a commission cheque.

I find this one particularly amusing, since my exhaustive research has uncovered no convincing evidence that human pheromones even exist, let alone that they provide any useful advantages in the love game: I have two further comments on Dr. Cutler's magic potion. The first is, if you used this product, would you be willing to admit it? Could it go something like this:

MAN: Honey, I have something I need to tell you. I've been using human pheromones to attract you to me. 

WOMAN: Well, that explains a lot, you [EXPLETIVE DELETED] !

I direct my second comment to Lee of WA. Lee, I am very sad for you. You have my deepest condolences.

Okay, okay, I have to admit that this one looks like fun: However, my dignity suffers sufficiently from the big stogie sticking out of my mouth. Hey, remember, Freud said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

For the waistline challenged I present: Is it just me or does that thing look dangerous. Would you let your children play with it? Of course this begs the question whether you are ignorant enough to believe that four minutes of exercise a day is going to do anything but give you a sudden violent heart attack the next time you try to tango with your sweetie. Seriously, folks. I'm going to make a million with MadDog's Foolproof Weight Loss Diet at US100 a pop. It will consist of a postcard delivered to the client's house with one sentence written on the back. - "Stop stuffing food into your gob all day!"

You know, I'd actually buy this (bit of a hat fetish here) if I actually believed that I could roll it up and it would look okay after I unroll it:

But, US$75 bucks? Hey, I didn't come in on a load of pumpkins! It's made in Ecuador, for pity's sake. Those people get paid in bananas. No way I'm going to enrich the capitalist exploiters of the sweaty masses. On the other hand, if you want to send me one for testing purposes . . .

Well, this indeed is the perfect holiday gift. Too bad the holidays are over: HELLO! . . . anybody out there ever hear of a supermarket?

Hey, something just popped into the little round space in my head that I use for a mind. What if the people who buy this stuff are simply lonely? Isn't that sad? Maybe the UPS guy is their only contact with normal humans. We could be dealing with some very disconcerting stuff here. Somebody should write a chick-flick screen play. Hey, maybe I  will. Any producers out there sniffing around for a hot property?

I'm actually grateful for the enlightenment by which I was enlightened by the simple reading of this ad: I had no idea that the US Library of Congress had thiry official, registered, supremely pompous, gloriously elegant and powerful yet dignified Eagle designs just sitting there waiting for somebody to come along and commercialise. Wonders do  exist! Who knows what other wonders lie neglected on dusty shelves which can be converted into ready cash. And, it so patriotic! Still, I'll pass.

You know, I've been thinking green a lot lately. I've discovered that being poor is a marvelous way of reducing my carbon footprint. I'm seriously considering becoming destitute. Maybe my footprint will become so small that I'll simply float up into the air and live in the clouds. And, today I discovered another essential device to hasten the day when I'll be flat broke and wondering how all my precious moolah went up in smoke:

I particularly appreciate the "self extinguishing brass base". Until now, I laboured under the delusion that brass doesn't burn, except, of course, under the most intense heat - and I'm not sure about that. Furthermore this device is very chummy with the environment, having raped only the bees for their abodes, won't poison me or give me cancer and, thank you so much, doesn't drip. Man I hate those candle drips! It takes hours to pick them all off and feed them back into the little puddle of molten paraffin.

Manufacturers of the world, we implore you. Please, in the name of Mercy, give us more useless crap!

Seen on a tour around Fargo ND with my brother.

Weather Forecasting: When it’s going to rain, text yourself to “bring an umbrella” and post the forecast on Facebook.

March 2013

Bought with the giftcard from my mom. In total I got about $330 in Sephora mad money. Crazy!!!

This is #5 of this super pattern, for my friend's grandson.

Here's my mother's thing as a volunteer in catechist.

Esprit bag.

3 books about catechist.

Notes.

1 notebook.

Pen.

Reading glass.

Folded umbrella.

Wrist watch.

School Id with name tag. (Lol)

And medicine.

:)

Concept for a new years theme. Wanting to convey the idea of transformation and making things new.

Any comments/ideas/suggestions welcome.

I was tagged by the wonderful (and fellow Temper Trap fan/concertgoer) clairebelles and so I have to write 10 interesting things about me. This could take a while.. Bear with me !

1. I've lived in the same town all my life, in the same house. I previously intended to emigrate to America when I (eventually) finish a degree, but that idea has been put on the backburner since my three month jaunt last year. I would have a continual conversation with a friend of mine about how I hated the UK. I have such a new found love for my home country since my return from the USA. There is just no place like home. There really isn't.

2. This one is just for Claire. I also have never had a cup of coffee. Although I did have a shot of something last night (no, I wasn't so drunk I can't remember what is was, I just can't remember) which had Kahlua in (a coffee based liquer) I didn't like it, FYI.

3. I hate it when I spell simple words wrong. I hate text speak. I'm 19 years old, and when I send a text, the words are perfectly formed. I haven't sent a text since I got back from America. That means I haven't sorted out my phone. Get up and go, Coral.

4. I act like everything's so hilarious, when in truth I'm really dying of anxiety inside. I'm really quite a shy person who likes to keep herself to herself. I'm trying to improve my outgoingness (I did just make that word up, yes) by not using social networking as a tool for building relationships with people. Let's have a conversation, face to face.

5. As you may be able to tell, or not, depending on the level of your observation skills, I like to have each paragraph finishing at the end of the line. Don't give me no one word lines. That is so annoying. And so obsessive compulsive of me, I know. I'm very quirky.

6. (Claire you better be finding this damn interesting) My Sister took the above picture. I really don't wear beanies and glasses all that often (that's a lie I like wearing beanies) but the glasses made my eyes feel weird so I had to take them off. The beanie I'm wearing actually belongs to my friend, but she has my belt so I took her beanie hostage. I think I was probably reading The Independent at the time. (Broadsheets: I'm so intellectual) It would have been The Times (paper of choice) but they don't have an App (for my iPod Touch, not iPhone !) P.S: The Daily Mail amounts to the majority of the problems in the UK.

7. This should be a "thing" for everyone, but unfortunately it won't be. I hate any kind of racism, sexism, homophobia, disability discrimination or general ignorance. I have friends from all walks of life and I really don't care about their skin colour, orientation, gender, whether they can walk or have to use a wheelchair. It's really not that big a deal. So please stop staring at my friend who uses a wheelchair to get around. Thank you and Goodbye.

8. I'm so tired. I got in at about 0200 and was awake at 0620. I stupidly left my bedroom window open last night (and for those of us who live in Manchester, we know it wasn't the warmest last night) and froze to death. I'm still not warm. Regarding the weather, when I was 13, I slipped on ice. I walked home and into the lounge crying. My Mum told me (in that tough love way that you really don't want when you're in any kind of pain) to stop crying, calm down and tell her what had happened. Needless to say we spent the afternoon in A&E. I had X-Rays and came out with a neat plaster cast on my broken wrist. Yay for showering with a bin bag on my arm for 6 weeks. No PE = the worst weeks ever.

9. I have played 24 songs more than 100 times on my iPod. The Temper Trap: Sweet Disposition (121), Bryan Ferry: Slave To Love (117), John Legend: Green Light (102) Kings of Leon: Sex On Fire (188), The Smiths: The Charming Man (116). I love music and won't go anywhere without my iPod Touch which I'm so glad I bought with it's 32MB of memory, email, WiFi and Apps ! "Sweet Disposition" has been played the most in the shortest length of time. Who wouldn't listen to it on repeat with Dougy's voice in your ears? #nowplaying 50 Cent: Baby By Me (Feat. Ne-Yo) / Don't hate me; I'm about all genres !

10. So here's the end. I wish I could tell you some big major thing but I don't really have much more to say. This was surprisingly a lot of fun and I couldn't decide what to put in, and what not to put in. I changed some things because I decided they weren't very relevant or it wouldn't be that interesting for you all to know my medical history. It's like when you're having a textual conversation with someone and you see that little pen going, but then they stop, and you don't get a message :P How annoying is that? *Does evil laugh and waves*

The then-lingering semaphore signals at Romney continued to bring me back to this damned Monon line time after time. I thought these things were going away in 2008...(But I continued to trek down there to shoot these blades until the bitter end...)

CSX finally killed off the Romney blades a few weeks after this shot of a southbound led by a former Conrail SD60M was nabbed in March of 2009. Romney will never again host dozens of foamers each time a train comes through-I guess the crews that are camera-shy are happy now.
