Any and all opinions on the idea of a Jewish state in Palenstine aside, why do people seem so shocked and surprised when confronted with the fact that there’s a psycho running Iran. It’s not like this is anything new. I have trouble remembering a time when there WASN’T a psycho running Iran…

Interesting thing, this here internet gizmo: I just heard from a cousin I hadn’t talked to in over twenty-five years because she happened to wander into this site accidentally. I believe the cousin in question is second from the right. I’m the handsome diapered fellow in the middle…

Bed now. Only four more very cold nights before the nuzzling and snuggling recommence…

The problem with a going out of business sale at Media Play is that even with a 20% discount, everything is still more expensive than it is at Best Buy. This, of course, is probably why they’re going out of business. Of course, every time I’ve walked into a Media Play store in the past year or two, it’s pretty much looked like it was already going out of business anyway…

What really baffles me, though, is that Media Play’s corporate siblings Sam Goody and Suncoast manage to live on. I don’t really understand how they or FYE (formerly Camelot) fit into the retail music/video scene anymore. As I recall, the last time I remember hearing someone saying they were headed to Sam Goody, it was so they could pick up that new Pablo Cruise 8-track…

Apparently, though, there are people who actually PREFER paying more for stuff at outdated mall stores with no selection to speak of. But wait. They’re going to REMODEL all the Sam Goody stores. That should fix everything. Yup…

Sigh…

If only this color palette and lighting scheme were still available in the average mall developer’s design kit, Christmas shopping would be such a pleasure…
