“Wow, it’s cold outside. Do you really think this campout was the best idea? I think I stopped feeling my toes. Yup, that’s it, they’re completely numb. Man, I’m gonna freeze out here. Why didn’t we just stay home and watch some quality TV? I really don’t know how I let you convince me into this. Oh my god, did you hear that noise? It was kinda like a creepy scratchy sound. It’s getting closer… HELP! HELP!”

Porch door opens…

“Kyle, you okay out there? I know you wanted to try out your new Spiderman sleeping bag, but are you sure you don’t want to come back inside now?”

“Mom, we’re cool! I told you – we’re old enough to have a campout back here. You don’t need to worry. Me and Spidey are doing just fine.”

Creepy scratching…

“Wwwait, I’m coming, hold the door open for me, please!”

They say that a woman can never have too much jewelry. I don’t know. Has anyone ever tested that theory? Has one man bought a woman every single piece of jewelry in the universe to see if she still wanted more? I doubt it.

Can you imagine if the entire world’s jewelry collection belonged to one woman? I really don’t think she’d want more. Maybe a few dozen mansions in which to store her treasures, but not another necklace.

But maybe I’m wrong. It’s disappointing that I’ll never be able to conduct an experiment to see what the hypothesis would be. Yes, I still do remember my third grade Science terminology and appreciate the occasional opportunity to show it off.

Getting back to the topic at hand, the 1ct Sapphire Sterling Silver Heart Pendant is kinda pretty. If you could all just get one and help me get one step closer to testing my theory, it would be greatly appreciated. And don’t worry, when my scientific report is published, I will make sure to list you as a contributing source.

Honestly, I feel like I just finished last year’s return. Gotta say, I’m stoked to do it all again. If you don’t sense my sarcasm, I’m making a point to clearly note it.

Cuz really, tax time is my favorite part of the year. There’s something infinitely enjoyable about laboring over a computer, attempting to fill out all those unintelligible questions, while recollecting your second grade math skills.

Ahh, I’m in heaven. Not regular heaven, Uncle Sam’s heaven. There are mounds of paperwork everywhere and numbers are jumping all over the place, dancing their own little jig. Calculators are lazing in the sun soaking in some solar energy, while scrawny men in suits stand in a bullfighters arena lassoing in stacks of cash.

I think I could get used to this…

Blare Horn: “ATTENTION, ATTENTION! Will the person who does not work for the IRS please leave? There will be two angels waiting by the gate to escort you out. Oh, and don’t forgot, we are waiting for your tax return. Go home and labor over it. We do not, I repeat, we do not want to put you in the arena, but we will!”

Like I said, I love tax season. And the H&R Block At Home 2009 Deluxe Software makes it all a piece of cake. Sorry, Uncle Sam, I don’t do labor…

You’re sitting on the couch, your laptop on your lap, your hand in a bowl of popcorn, intently catching up on the last five seasons of whichever TV show you just got into.

As you’re watching, you can’t help but notice that your legs are getting slightly warm, and it’s not from all the hot cocoa (or illicit alcoholic beverages) you’ve been guzzling. As you lift up your laptop to get a breather, you gingerly place your hand beneath it to gage its temperature.

You know those idiots who stick their hand in an oven to see if it’s hot enough? Well, you just became one of them. As you massage your scalded fingertips, you cautiously peer down at your pants to see if there’s any burn holes.

Sound familiar? I’m terribly sorry if it does and offer my sincerest condolences. I can’t fix your fingertips or miraculously make your pants brand new again, but I can offer you a suggestion for the future – Get the iConcepts Universal Notebook Docking Station. It will ventilate your laptop and prevent all overheating disasters. So go ahead and get back to your illegal downloading in peace.

Who needs a helmet case when, with just a little bit of work, you can wear Master Chief’s visor on your head? Cuz come on, the helmet is way too cool to just store DVDs. Picture it – You fighting for control of the world, saving it from impending doom, all while wearing this ultra cool helmet. It’s every gamer’s dream…

Upgrade my Helmet!

Locked up in your basement and have no idea whether it’s night or day outside? In your frenzy to save the world, have you lost track of the week, month, and year? Well, well, here’s something to destroy whatever semblance of balance that remains in your life. Cuz, come on, who needs balance when you have gaming and you’re the Master Chief of your own little world?

With Halo 3, the final chapter in the epic Halo trilogy, Master Chief returns to finish the fight, bringing the epic conflict between the Covenant, the Flood, and the entire human race to a dramatic, pulse-pounding climax. Think you have the gut and grit to fight in this desperate, final war? I’m not so sure, but go ahead, convince me.

Honestly, I’ve never been much of a gaming person myself. My allergies haven’t come to appreciate the basement… But the helmet included in this set is really tempting me. I’m not gonna lie, I’m almost ready to pick up a remote and enter the battle. I’m just working on my war cry, trying to get it as un-Mel Gibson-like as possible…

It’s so hard to keep the little ones busy these days… With a sense of curiosity that that puts Curious George to shame, it is rather difficult to keep their inquisitive minds busy. Add their minute attention spans to the equation, and you’ve got a kid climbing the walls and painting on your countertops.

What would you do if you could channel all that energy for about 30 minutes and create a much-needed quiet time? Really, wow, okay, I don’t need your vintage Barbie doll collection or your old cheerleading pom poms. I’ll do you a favor and offer my suggestion free of charge.

Ready? It’s the Crayola Creativity Central Exploration Station! With mess-free fingerpaint and shape stampers, your little one might just be able to sit still for more than the usual 30-second increment. So get the recliner ready and take advantage! You’re welcome, by the way.

Firstly, we would like to thank all of you who voted for the Friendship Circle in the Chase Community Giving Campaign. Although they did not reach first place, they came in fourth and won $100,000 to help special needs children! Your efforts in aiding this worthy cause are greatly appreciated!

I miss those days when a simple cartoon was enough to excite me for the entire day. Now, thousands of little gadgets are needed to even somewhat entertain me. But I’ve been thinking – How do I really know that a good cartoon won’t amuse me anymore? I haven’t sat down to watch one in years…

So I think that I’m going to have to conduct an experiment here. I’m going to pop in one of the discs from this Giant 600 Cartoon Digitally Re-Mastered Collectors Edition 12 DVD Set and retest the whole cartoon amusement factor. I’m just not sure which DVD to choose. Will Tom & Jerry hold up to the test? Or perhaps The Three Stooges? Hmm… tough choice, I gotta think about this. Feel free to offer suggestions.

Okay, I have to admit that I’ve lost faith in weather.com. Every night, I check the next day’s forecast to prevent any shocking rainy surprises. So while I think I’m all prepared, the morning comes around and does the complete opposite of what I had read online. Somewhere, in a cozy room, with a fireplace blazing, sit a bunch of meteorologists mocking us common folk.

Well, you know what?! No more surprises. I’m going to take a preemptive strike against any and all forecasting mayhems. How, you ask. I’ve found this electronic clock thing that actually provides on-the-mark accurate weather reports. It’s the Ambient Devices 3-Day Automatic Weather Forecaster (sold on 1SaleADay Main). So weather.com, go fool some other uneducated folk. Or better yet, step away from the fireplace and get some real jobs.
