Nerdy, but cool

This is a blog all about the statstical program SPSS. It has a forum and tips on how to do things. Very neat resource. I'm sure I'll come to use this site a lot.

The rabbit

I had to bring Charlie (my honda civic) to NTB on friday for new brakes and to get some part of his axle fixed. While he was being fixed I walked over to Enterprise and rented a VW Rabbit for the day. The rabbit is a cute car and just my size (I hate huge cars). I had no trouble driving it around and all was good.

However, I did have some issues when I got ready to turn it in at the end of the day. First of all, the gas tank is on the wrong side. I had the worst time trying to get the gas thingy on the right side to get gas. I had to turn around at least three times. Cars with gas tanks on the left side make things so much easier. I have now decided that it's a requirement in the next car I buy. Secondly, turning it on after I got gas was weird as well. I am pretty sure I turned it off correctly. However, when I got ready to leave the gas station it wouldn't go forward and I started going backward. Uh, what? It took me like five minutes of making sure it was in park and fiddling with the key to get it to go. By that time I was ready to get rid of it.

So in the end cute car, but I'm glad to have my Charlie back.

Give me bacon

For those who love meat and especially bacon this flavored dental floss is for you. I think it sounds totally disgusting, but to each their own.

William Shatner's My Little Pony

The cast of Boston Legal will be designing their own My Little Ponies to help a children's charity. I used to love my little ponies. I can only wonder what design he will put on his ponies butt.

Yummy sign

To celebrate their fresh salads McDonalds has created a sign that is made out of real lettuce. They even went as far as to make sure birds couldn't perch on it and eat the sign.

Cat furniture

I think cat furniture is great although a bit expensive. Milo loves his. However, this cat tree is a little ridiculous. I would be afraid that Milo would fall or get into many things he shouldn't.

PC

The guy who plays PC on the PC and Mac commercials you see on tv all the time is a mac user. Boo on him.

Wedding nerdity

While I suppose this wedding theme is a cute idea, it is very nerdy.

The new Hello Kitty?

I hear that Sanrio is coming out with two new characters called Cherinacherine. They are cute, but I don't know if I like them as much as Hello Kitty. We shall see.

USB fun

While some usb tools like a domo jump drive or a cute flower that is a fan are neat this usb greenhouse is weird.

6/6 Cool things on the web

These large sized lego blocks are so cool. You can make your own coffee table or whatever else you can imagine. Too bad they cost so much.

This laptop sleeve is totally adorable. I would think about it if I actually carried my laptop anywhere. So cute!

Happy National Doughnut Day

Today is National Doughnut Day! Go out to your local Krispy Kreme and get a free doughnut. Mmm chocolate glazed donuts with sprinkles.

The fun and dangers of a lunch break

I haven't had a lunch break in the longest time. For the last two years I worked at a company that didn't give me a lunch break. However, I didn't work enough hours to really really need one. Anyways. Today for my lunch break I went over to dsw (so close) and looked for new black sandals since my old ones are dying. I went to payless earlier in the week (also very close) and didn't find anything. However, today I did find some shoes and they are cute. They are black naturalizer slip on sandals. I will have to see if I can find a picture online. Yea for having enough time to buy shoes on a lunch break :)

Interesting things from the web

Today while web surfing I found some interesting things..

This wii remote is yummy and fun.

This might be a fun tool to get when we finally buy a grill. Though I'm not going to wear the mask.

I don't want to eat real haggis and I don't want to eat this either.

These cat scratchers are so cute looking. This one is my favorite.

This is a cool foodie site that I may end up following and reading. This couple makes many great recipies and takes pictures of each step.

This lamp is cute and a little scary.

Morning Star Farms

I have been trying to eat healthier these days. I've been trying to eat less fried greasy things and lower my risk for heart disease and diabetes. One brand I have found through trying to eat healthy is Morning Star Farms. Morning Star Farms makes veggie products like veggie burgers, "chicken" patties and other varieties. I never thought I would enjoy anything veggie like that, but they are actually really good. I enjoy the breakfast sausage, the ranch "chicken" patties and the corn dogs. All very good. Jeff will even eat them. They taste like the real thing and they have very low levels of fat and usually no cholesterol. So yea for that. Definitely go out and try some Morning Star Farms products if you are trying to eat healthy.

Shopping damage

Jeff and I went to Otakon this past weekend. It was my first convention ever and pretty fun. My two favorite parts of the convention were looking at all the cosplayers and their costumes and the shopping :D I ended up buying a fleece hat with cat ears from Genki Hats. I can't wait till it gets cooler so I can wear it. If I got another one I would probably buy the one with bunny ears. They are too cute. I wonder if I could make them myself. I am sure I could, but I'm not the best with sewing or measurements.

I have my eye on another website with cute things as well. I have wanted something sushi related to wear for a while. Today I found out that David and Goliath has a variety of sushi gear. I'm very tempted. I think the "wassap B" shirt is pretty funny.

Testing one, two three...

Yes, I'm still alive. *brushes the dust bunnies off my blog* I figured I would give this blog another shot.

What have I been up too? Well I finally indulged and bought myself an XM Radio. I bought the Samsung Helix which is a portable xm player that comes with a docking unit. I also ended up buying the head phones that make the signal stronger. They help a lot when I am not hooked up to the docking unit. I was going to get a Sirius radio, but XM's radio's just seemed to be built better and were much cheaper. So far I am enjoying being a satellite radio subscriber. I tend to listen to only a few channels, but I enjoy flipping through all of the other channels.

What else.. Jeff and I are in the process of buying a home. We close on friday which is pretty exciting. I am looking forward to having the extra space and to be able to attempt to put my own personal touches on it, or least learn how too :)

Part of me quiz

The Part of You That No One Sees

You are balanced, peaceful, and sincere. You're the type of person who goes along to get along. And you're definitely afraid of rocking the boat. Underneath it all, you fear your world falling apart. You'll put up with a situation that you don't like in fear of changing it. Disruptive and forceful people intimidate you - and sometimes exploit you.
