Bag of Randomness

  • One thing that really stood out from all the Titanic specials over the weekend was how the ship never really capsized unlike about every single other ship that has sunk.
  • Jason’s Deli has two new changes . . . they no longer provide a pickle with your sandwich, for which I am thankful because I don’t eat them and the pickle juice gets on the other stuff (but you can still get them at the salad bar), and cauliflower has been replaced with zucchini when you get steamed veggies.
  • Non-Spoiler Mad Men observation: the camera work was much different that other episodes.
  • Possible Man Men observational spoiler: Pete is depressed, on rock bottom, and the gun still resides in his office.  Matt Weiner, the creator of the series, at one time was facing budget cuts, so I’m thinking the suicide of Pete Campbell could be some compelling drama.  Don was doodling a noose early in the episode, foreshadowing?
  • I finally know the difference between vanilla and French vanilla.  Basically, French vanilla is custard based (so egg yolks are added) which makes it thicker, creamier, and yellower.
  • The Kansas City Chiefs really know how to take care of their season ticket holders, each will get a free personalized jersey this season, each with a special patch that signifies they are a season ticket holder.
  • This high school is shaped like the Millennium Falcon, which perhaps makes this the coolest or geekiest high school ever.
  • A funny picture of Obama and Clinton together.
  • The new iPhone Siri commercials with celebrities crack me up.
  • I didn’t know the NRA started off as a hunting association and backed many of the nation’s first modern gun-control laws.  At least that’s what this article is saying.
  • This was surprising to me: One in five US adults does not use the internet
  • Silly Putty for Potholes
  • A movie cinema that’s not only outdoors, but on the sea with a great backdrop.
  • “Keith, you’ve hurt more people than you know.”

Magpie’s Story – Law of the Paw

The uplifting journey of a dog as she travels from the harsh streets to a caring shelter to her new forever home.
