Holiday Gift Guide Vol. 1

I Have Been Afraid of posting lately, mostly out of shame from the catashtrophe that is my errant sidebar.

But in the Mood of the season, I have Decided to bring you a few of my favorite ideas for Christmas/other Holiday that incorpoates gift giving/anytime.

All of these items I can personally vouch for the quality, and/or own myself.  I'm not getting any from the sales of these itmes, although that would be awesome. The images are links to the product's page.

1.  A Book.

Everyone loves Books!  I Have used this particular one as an  example as Mr. Pratchett is my new favorite author,  and this one was Christmas-Themed.  Some people may swear by those newfangled e-readers, but I have tried them in the stores and such, and they are Quite lame.  Really, you can't beat the classics.

Generally USD$8.00 or so for Pratchett books, but price will vary by book. 

2. A Hat.

This Particular Hat is My Daily, I have crushed it, Packed it, stuffed it inside my coat to protect it from high winds, worn it thoroughly, probably sat on it and even used it as a pillow once, and as it is a Crushable it still retains its shape.  But Be warned,  it can be wet. but if it is raining torrentially, bring a brolly.  In Heavy Rain It Shrinks, see.  But it has a Puggaree {Sweatband}  so  only the crown shrinks, giving it a strange lopsided look. But thorough soaking could perhaps turn it into a whole new hat entirely… But to protect your invstment always Bring A Brolly.

USD$49.00, but black is on sale for USD$24.00.

3. Any Apple Product.

Everyone loves apple, {Right?} and with the diverse range of Apple Products, there is a Product for every Budget. I would go with an iPhone or Macbook Pro. {they have 13" Macbook Pros Now!}
iTunes USD$free.
Other Apple Products: USD$59.00-$3,299.00

4. LEGO®

I Personally love LEGO®, and they  come in all sizes, but for this holiday season I Would recommend the advent calender.  I Have Been Opening a door every day, and it has been shaping up nicely!

USD$29.99

5. Umbrella.

This is my umbrella, manufactured by the Totes Co. of Cincinnati Ohio.  It Is not the most Sturdy of Brollies, but with a lifetime {Yours, not its} guarantee you could have an umbrella forever, for only $12.99. But only if you are alright with Not having an umbrella for two to three weeks at a time as they repair/replace it.  available at Targets® Everywhere. {Although I Can only vouch for the U.S. Targets®.

USD$12.99

That's all I Can think of at the Moment. But look out for More posts along a similar Vein soon.

PostScript:  I Do Not get paid y any of the products advertised here: But I do enjoy them.

-= The Perils of Dressing Nicely=-

As someone who enjoys hats, and frequently trenchcoats, I have been acosted by complete strangers who think I look like Indiana Jones, Humphrey Bogart, Sam Spade. I even got Sherlock holmes once, {which is entierly the wrong era by the way} and the worst part is, these People think that they are so D--- smart! It's the glimmer of internal merriment in their eyes that really brings it home. "So are you a spy then?" asks the clerk at the market, "are you an idiot? I wish to reply, but I don't. Instead I smile, nod, and act as if that's the most original thing I've heard all day.

We're at the San Diego Zoo.


My favorite animals are the koalas, because with koalas it's nap time…all the time.

Oops, Almost forgot

Oops, I almost forgot, I have instituted a new "theme", Christmas! not really a "theme" but more a header, I enjoy making the headers. Best part of the blog, really.  If you are not Christian/Catholic/other religion that employs Christ?  Well then don't sweat it, you can still enjoy the blog. It's really just a celebration of the season.  Besides, this is the season when even the least religious of us indulge in an acceptable amount of Christianity.

Happy Holidays!

Why not for Hats?

As we sit here in the midst of the upheaval of this blog, I took a break from pulling my hair out over the D--- Sidebar to read some of Andy Ihnatko's {A Tech Journalist from Boston Chicago Apparently he lives in Mass. but exports his writing to the Chicago Sun Times.} Tweets

http://twitter.com/ihnatko

and I Came across this link:

http://www.onthedash.com/docs/obama.html

here is an excerpt:

Watch collectors are different. We watch movies, read magazines, and study videos -- not for the usual type of entertainment, not for the intended content -- but to see which watches the stars and celebrities are wearing. Whether we are looking for Steve McQueen with an "orange hand" Rolex, trying to identify Jerry Seinfeld's vintage Heuer Autavia, or seeing whether Paul Newman is wearing a "Paul Newman", we focus on the watches.

So why aren't there any people out there like that, but for Hats? There are just as many variations of Hats as there are of watches, and many hats have a Watch counterpart.  {Exempli Gratia: the Black Topper and a classy pocket watch} so where are you {as the "Hip People" say} my Brothers?

  Where?

Where'd the D--- Sidebar Go!?

This really bothers me.

My Right-Sidebar has moved itself all the way to the bottom of the post page, with out consulting me first. I really think that it must be a fault in Blogger somewhere.

My Code is sound.

If anyone out there knows how to fix this problam, please help me.

PLEASE!

Happy ThanksGiving!

Happy ThanksGiving! This is the day when a bunch of city-slicker convicts got kicked out of England, Took three disease-ridden boats, crossed a giant ocean, and mostly died on the way. When they did finally get to their destination {Pretty much anywhere besides England} they were so happy, but when they found out that there weren't any restaurants anywhere about, they weren't so happy. Luckily the Natives took pity on them {Which turned out to be a bad idea} and gave them some food. In Return the Settlers {Née Convicts} killed most of the natives, {Although in all honesty it was mostly the foreign diseases they carried with them} and declared this new, convict-free land the British colony of Boston Mass. 

On other news, sorry about the missing right sidebar, I Have no idea how that happened. it is now at the bottom of the post area, if you would like to go visit it.

EDIT: Hey! the  right sidebar came back! w00t!
2nd EDIT: The Sidebar is only on the individual post pages, that is weird.

Starbucks espresso

Ahhh, starbucks. Not as good as some of the local... I want to say "breweries" but I doubt that is right. Still good though, in a pinch. Also! I do beleive this is the debut of my "daily grind" logo, I plan on prefacing all of my future "on the spot coffee posts" with that logo.

What's the spoon for? Milk or sugar in espresso is incorrect, but maybe I'm just a purist.
