Rough Day

It's been a pretty rough day today. My computer apparently contracted some kind of malware that's been driving me up the wall. There are other problems that haven't allowed me to fix it, but primarily my day has sucked pretty hard because of that one thing. Right now, I'm looking at an alert screen that's telling me that the the damn thing is still there, but I can't figure out how to kill it. Right now, I'm pretty sure I'm still infected, but I've managed to kill the worst of it. So with that in mind, and with a great desire to stop thinking about this, I'm going to look at some random stuff that I think is funny.

While researching hot to deal with the malware, I found out that the top Google searches that begin with "Gettin rid of " are Bed Bugs, Stretch Marks, Love Handles, Ants, Mice, Black Heads, Cellulite, Belly Fat, Fleas, and Acne Scars. In that order.
Really? Bed Bugs? I looked them up on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedbug and it turns out they're basically fleas. They just happen to drink human blood and live in your mattress. I wouldn't visit the wikipedia link unless you like looking at insects. They make my skin crawl.
So apparently we're all having our blood sucked out by insects while we sleep. Or so it would seem, since this apparently beats out FOUR concerns regarding fat, and three other kinds of pests. Hmmm... It's kind of odd that all of these either concern pests or beauty. I'm disappointed to see there aren't more people simply searching for "Getting rid of inequity" or "Getting rid of oppressive government" or even "Getting rid of an old couch"... possibly because it has bed bugs in it.


So while we're on the subject of "Getting rid of love handles", Here's an image for Diet Water. YES, that's right. DIET. WATER. You know, because regular water has too many calories.

Now, Ok. I'm probably not being fair here. The label is in Japanese and maybe there's something more to ... Hmmm. Nope. Can't do it. I can't be fair to this product. It says DIET WATER on it! DIET!!! WATER!!!

I would be rude not to link to the original story from which I took this image, so here it is: http://360newsnow.com/viewArticle.php?article_id=36&title=Kill_All_Diets__Weeding_out_the_Bull It's originally a story about those stupid "One Rule to A Flat Stomach: Obey" ads you see around the internet. It's actually kind of interesting and saved me the trouble of finding out what the "one rule" was. SPOILER: Apparently it's to go to the toilet a lot.

So that was fun. I'll try to come back a bit more often now and post more stuff. I've been really slacking off and I've really wanted to start posting regularly. Let's hope I can keep up this time. I'm supposed to head to San Diego Comic Con sometime next week and I hope to get a lot of images. I'm hoping for a great deal of scantily clad ladies. But being a Comic Con, I'll probably have to settle with horribly inappropriately dressed, fat, hairy men.

Bye for now.

Tube me? Tube ME?! No, sir. TUBE YOU!

As it goes with these things, I'm probably one of the last people to find this out. But I think it's important that I mention it. I was just screwing around on YouTube and found that they actually have FULL episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series.

That is awesome.

So you have to sit through an ad before the episodes begin, and ads at every interval where the tv broadcast would have placed them, but that's still amazing. This is where YouTube needs to go. Don't get me wrong, I love to watch 10 minute videos of people playing with their parakeets or 15+ minute videos of teenagers going "OH MY GOD! I'm the only person in the world who's ever experienced pain and sadness. Booo hoo hoo!". BUT, let's be honest. These were only time killers and temporary place holders while the pro-entertainment industry got their heads out of their back sides and started providing us with real content. And apparently, this has finally happened.

Here's the link: Star Trek: TOS
Shatner & Nemoy FTW!

There's got to be a better way...

Ever had an itch on your back in a hard to reach place? You stretch and you pull and you TRY to get at it, but it's JUST out of reach? It's infuriating, isn't it? Well now you can beat the crap out of your back for being so inconvenient with this device:
