Random annoyances.
My hair is very long now. And my stress levels are at an all time high. The combination is a bad one. There is hair everywhere. In the bathtub, on the floor, inside the keyboard, everywhere! Strange little hair creature…

The Island Spatula
A spatula to whack all the other spatulas to the ground. It could be exactly what I have in mind. But then when did a picture ever tell the truth? We will see how it holds up in my kitchen warfront.

America loves McDs
181,456 X $13 (out of which McD's get $6.50) and counting. I am tempted to get those 5 large fries. --- EDIT Whoa. They extended the deal by a day. And 20K more people have been caught in the fly fry trap. That is almos…
