Oh man, look at that cast! Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence, John Travolta. Bill Macy! Man, he’s great. This looks like a lot of fun. What’s that? Oh yeah, I did really like KISS when I was in high school. So yeah, a movie about motorcycles is right up my alley.

Love And Rockets’ “Maggie the Mechanic”
Hey, a co-worker of mine has been telling me about this comic! He’s a cool guy, kinda quiet. Went to art school, I think he works in marketing. Doesn’t really seem to like his job, but he gets pretty crazy at office parties.

A pair of smartwool socks
Wow, I really need some new socks, and I’ve heard such great things about these! Remember being a kid and being so sad when you got a pair of socks for Christmas? Haha, pretty silly when you think about it. I mean, who needs a 3DS when your feet are wrapped in cutting-edge moisture-wicking technology?

Season 9 of Family Matters on DVD
Well, this isn’t the greatest show ever, and it got pretty weird late on. But it still had it’s moments, and Mother Winslow is great.
(several hours later)
I guess I liked this show more than I thought! I’ve gone through nearly the entire season, can’t wait to see how this all en-wait, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HARRIETTE?
The Boleyn Ground; Thursday, 15:00 GMT/10:00 AM ET
A gift bag containing a jar of Crisco and a bottle of truffle oil of indeterminate origin
Oh wow, I’ve really got all of my food lubrication bases covered now! Hey, say what you will about Crisco, but there’s really nothing better when it comes to making a pie or browning a pot roast. And this truffle oil, wow! Get a load of me? Oh, whoops, dropped it. Yeah, it’s a little bit greasy. No problem though, wipe it down with a paper towel and it’s good as new. Whoops, looks like the price tag’s still on this one! Haha, don’t worry, I didn’t see how much it cost. Marshall’s though, great store. You can get some great deals there.

“Ulysses” by James Joyce
One of the great works of 20th Century modernist literature? I’ve always wanted to read this, but it seems like the kind of book you own rather than one you check out from the library, you know? Man, and now I have my own copy. Guess I don’t have any excuses now, haha! No, really, this is great. I cannot wait to get started on this, because I’m sure it will be a wonderful read that is not at all tedious and interminable because everyone keeps telling me how amazing it is.
