Wow, do you guys get all dressed up every year for this? I actually think that's rather nice.
james - 12/25/09 23:45
ha! I love (e:Mike).
tinypliny - 12/25/09 22:55
(e:mike) is so cute in that picture!
libertad - 12/25/09 21:37
Is that going to be on sketchy santas? I love how he told all the kids about how he had just seen the boys and girls who lost their daddies in iraq as soon as he walked in the door.
tinypliny - 12/25/09 21:07
ehehehh. :D

Lee Nails at the walden galleria sucks
Category: shopping
I can't stand that fucking disgusting Lee Nails cancer cloud shop next
to sears. I smells so toxic. It's not just me being sensitive. If
you sit and watch, many people run by with their mouth covered. The
worst is if you get stuck on the escalator next to it, behind a slow
person. The cloud now extends further into the mall now. I can't
believe the health department doesn't shut the scumbag down or at
least make them get better ventilation. Imagine the poor ladies that
work there.

The whole reason I was there was that I had to go to the apple store
this morning because my MacBook pro's fans began to sound like a
motorcycle again. It's so frustrating to drop off my work computer
and know it's not coming back for a while. Sometimes Whn going to the apple store I come from the other side of the mall in order to avoid the toxic cloud from Lee Nails.

I Imagine it would be bad for business at Sears. One time I bought stuff at Best Buy instead because I didn't want to have to go past the smell.

I was terrified the mall would be jam packed but it really isn't. I
guess it is pretty early and it's a workday.

The smell is heavy concentration of acetone or something. Most every place that does nails has that smell; it makes me nauseous.

Best Buy, especially the one at The Galleria makes me ill (headache, nausea) as well. The smell is noxious-- can't tell if it is the carpeting, the electronics or what.

Which is sad, because I LOVE browsing electronics stores.
tinypliny - 12/24/09 17:34
Also, how would you know unless you were also sitting and watching?!

Sorry to be mean but I think everyone this side of the pond totally lacks elevator etiquette.
jim - 12/24/09 17:34
Reeks of nail polish and solvents.
tinypliny - 12/24/09 17:33
Hold on. What does it smell of? Burnt nails??

Santa's Letter in Heaven Town
Category: web
I was going to write about how adults were writing letters to santa and exhausting volunteer letter answerers but then Jenny McCarthy got all in my face

I cannot believe any news site could sell out this bad. It almost makes me nauseous to see this level of advertisement for one product.

image

An another note I changed image upload resizing to use imagecopyresampled instead of imagecopyresize for png images and they look a 1000% better. I am embarrassed I didn't notice this before. I wonder how many screen shot uploads were shitty because of that. My second life ones sure were.
zobar - 12/23/09 09:12
I've seen the same type of advertising on Reuters, of all places, for Acela, of all things. How on earth does Amtrak have that much money?

- Z
jim - 12/23/09 07:38
Hooray!

I tended to manually resize screenshts to 400px before but now I can just mail them in.

Despite the uncooperative body
Category: body
I am finally starting to get that side muscle I always dreamed of. By
summer I am want to be ripped bit I know the dedication won't last.
Damn what a messy desk.

libertad - 12/24/09 12:22
It's nice to see when the work pays off. I went to the Y today in FL and they have a pool. Swimming seems to be the best cardio ever. I wish they had a pool at Allentown. I want to look into how much it would cost to go once in a while at the Jewish CC.

I almost don't want to share this
Category: food
The lexington coop has crab legs again. They are massive and
delicious, as well as, priceworthy.

paul - 12/22/09 22:20
They are $5-~$8 per pack. I is definitely enough food for one to two people. (e:matthew) and I usually split a pack. You could be full of crab eating one yourself and they only take a few minutes to steam. I would suggest having heavy duty scissors or crab smashers in order to open them, they are seriously thick.
drew - 12/22/09 21:41
what's the price?
tinypliny - 12/22/09 16:38
Were you planning on buying the whole freezer?!
