Some Trends Should Stay Dead

So Hypercolor (a trend in the late '80s or early '90s... sometime when I was in high school) is making a comeback, though now they are classier and called Thermochromatic shirts. Um... here's the big problem with this... that NO ONE apparently remembers or has chosen to ignore. If you sweat, you have big pit stains and other parts of your back that have change to the lighter color so everyone, yes, everyone can see your persperation problems. I had a friend who used to have a greenish colored shirt that would turn white in the heat. Cool, right? And then he'd have like perma circles of white under his arms and it was just icky. I mean, I think I wore the hot pink one that I had once before realizing that if I had a backpack on I'd have a big white spot in the middle of my back when I took it off and everyone would think I was all gross. All I'm saying is BAD, BAD idea. Think twice before buying one.

Tough Cookie

I clearly have a very difficult and demanding job since this was pretty all I have to show for my morning efforts. (Um... if my boss is reading, I swear I did some other "behind the scenes" things in addition to just writing this one little post). Anyway, Colbert vs. Cookie Monster. Best thing ever. Especially if you have a kid and have been subjected to the recent "let's eat our fruit and vegetables" mantra they have been force-feeding down viewers throats recently on Sesame Street.

Does Anyone Have $100,000 I Can Have?

I need one of these ginormous new 108 inch LCD TV's. Leaving aside the fact that it probably wouldn't fit in my living room, it is bigger than me and that's just plain awesome. Not quite as awesome as Barney's blinding 300 inch TV on How I Met Your Mother, but certainly a step in the right direction. Obviously I don't have the expendable income to just buy this massive TV nor can I even fathom how this 8 foot long and four foot high would fit through my door (it is certainly larger than my own personal car), but just knowing that this is out there gives me hope that some day in the future, when I win the lotto, I can have an SUV-sized TV of my very own upon which I can watch episodes of crappy reality shows.
