why I hate shopping
I just got back from a run to Target. Buying things like toilet bowl cleaner and a shower liner were easy tasks, but when it came to finding the object that made me decide on Target over Meijer or some other store in the first place, it was a pain in the neck. [...]
TV update and Fat Princess tales
Well, I’ve upgraded my TV. I purchased last night the ViewSonic VT2430 24-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV from Amazon and they emailed me this morning saying it shipped. I’m surprised; I chose Free Super Saver Shipping and figured it wouldn’t ship for a couple of days and then take a while to get here, [...]
got a PS3
Just a quick note to say Best Buy happened to get some 120GB PS3’s in today and I just happened to call at the right time, squeal “Omigod, can you hold one?!”, and buy one. :) I couldn’t find Eternal Sonata at either Best Buy or Gamestop, so I ended up with Bayonetta [...]
more corporate confusion
First there was Toys R Us and a PS3, now there’s AT&T and my refurbished phone purchase. I blogged just this morning about buying a refurbished Samsung Magnet to replace my dying Sony Ericsson Z750, but I had some hassle today when I checked the AT&T web site and saw that I could’ve gotten [...]

new phone on the way after mine snooped on me
I’ve had a few problems with my current phone, a Sony Ericsson Z750, over the past few months. It started when I would try to make a call and it wouldn’t ring, it just sat there silently displaying the text “Calling whoever…”. I would hang up, try again, and it would usually work. [...]
mad lib forms and backordered PS3
Devin just sent this to me via StumbleUpon: “Mad Libs” Style Form Increases Conversion 25-40%. I think those examples look totally neat and I want to try out a mad lib-style form or two on 3till7. Maybe the comments form and contact me form.
Also, it seems as though the left hand doesn’t [...]
PS3’s hard to find
I just wanted to buy a 120GB Playstation 3 but apparently everyone around here is sold out of them. I figured the console has been out for a few years and the 120GB version came out in I think September, so I didn’t even consider that they would be hard to come by. [...]
inflexible Adobe
Wow, Adobe doesn’t make things convenient for you. I just called about their $199 offer for Photoshop CS4 for students, hoping that I could use it on my Mac or in Windows and perhaps be restricted to using only one at a time, but no. I can download it for Mac or Windows, [...]
a Strange Land of cedar
I’ve been reading Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein for the past couple of days, ever since I brought it back from my parents’ house over Thanksgiving break. I’ve tried to read the book before but never made it very far because 1) I’m fickle when it comes to books (my Wii [...]
