I'm walking down the street to get to my apartment yesterday and I see just stacks of yellow books in front of everyone's door. I'm talking stacks a couple feet high. WTF? Why in the hell do yellow books still exist? I promise you no one in my area uses them. I live in a young area where everyone knows how to use a computer. I guess I could see why a 80 year old person would use one, but if you are under 80, there is absolutely no reason to use a yellow book. They also have those retarded "ask dex" commercials. Maybe they don't know that the name Dex is now associated with a serial killer. I'm thinking two things when I see Dex yellow book commercials.
- Yellow books suck. I will never, ever, use one again. This commercial sucks
- Serial killers are bad. Damn, I'm looking forward to the next season of Dexter
I am not thinking at all about asking Dex how to find the local Office Max. That is what Google Maps is for. Google is king.
I went out for a couple drinks last night and was looking forward to beating my roommates ass in NBA 2k9 when I got home. To my chagrin, my other roommate and his girlfriend were watching Top Chef on the TV with the PlayStation. I've been into food lately though, so I figured I'd watch. That show is crazy! They had to construct a restaurant from nothing in 1 day. They had to decorate, create a menu, buy the food, cook the food, etc. It was nuts. There were some slipups but they were able to do it. It was very impressive. There is no way in hell I could even imagine doing something like that. Although, this is coming from a guy that cut himself twice cooking beginners chili. I'm going to watch that show more often.
I had one of those flatbread sandwiches from Dunkin Donuts today. They have been advertising them like crazy lately, so it was time I tried one. Not great. It was fine until I got to the middle. It was cold and wet and kind of gave me the willies. I will give them another chance though.
I have Directv and therefore I get different commercials than most. For whatever reason Directv runs a ton of infomercials. They are working on me. I have 3 items that I'm likely going to buy in the next couple of days.
1. Shamwow. I will never have to buy toilet paper again. These things absorb liquid like crazy (or so they tell me). Looks impressive. This is number 1 on my list. I will absolutely buy this.
2. Snuggie. I love lounging around on the weekends and it isn't unusual for me to have a blanket wrapped around me. This thing would give my arms some freedom. Perfect for outdoor activities too. This one is a little less likely, but I still think I'll get it.
3. Bender ball. Pretty sure this is directed at women. Pretty sure this isn't anything new - it's just smaller than most balls. Pretty sure it won't work. Pretty sure I won't use. I still think I'm gonna get it. Look at those abs in the video!
I've seen all of these commercials hundreds of times. No joke. They play nonstop. I'm getting brainwashed.
