La La Laaa

I feel compelled to blog, and yet I have nothing to say. So let the random thoughts begin!

*I'm fascinated by these new Tylenol Cool Caplets. The cooling sensation comes from some sort of minty coating on the outside of the pill, so you get a cool sensation (quite short-lived, in my experience) on the tongue and in the throat. What purpose does this serve? You'd get maybe ten seconds of relief from a sore throat or a mouth sore, but I really do fail to see why the world needed this particular innovation.

*My apartment is a pigsty. Seriously. As in I'm embarrassed for the mailman to come to the door and see it. Volunteers to come clean?

*It's getting cool in here, but, as with last year and the year before, I'm too cheap to turn on the heat. So I'll just do what I do best: pile on blankets and sweatshirts-- and whine! It galls me enough that I have to pay $8 a month for gas, even when I'm not using it at all (which I'm usually not, given that the only thing I have that's gas is the heat).

*I have to watch Intolerance tomorrow night. Note that it's one seriously long movie. I haven't even seen it, and already I've suffered: the prof keeps making jokes about how he hopes we won't be "intolerant of Intolerance" and that we won't "find Intolerance intolerable." And so on.

*I can't wait to learn how much the 60 gig iPod will cost, given the exorbitant price of even their smallest model. I notice that there's no mention of the fact that Nomad has had 60 gig model for some time now. Nomad's prices are much more reasonable than iPod's, which I suppose makes them less sexy.
