Found Porn and I Am Not Returning It

I quite enjoy Maxim's found porn. I was enjoying the North Carolina vs. Duke basketball game this evening and found porn. w00t! w00t! (I have been dying to use Merriam Webster's word of the year for 2007). Anyway, plastered huge all over the screen at the beginning of the game was 'spread and execute'. Now I am sure in basketball jargon this means something. Probably something to do with points and the odds of each team winning the game. I don't really care. What matters to me is the belly laugh I got after reading it. After that, my mind was in the gutter. Although in the gutter I must admit it was not hard to find some more porn. Some of the most common words in tonite's game were penetration and reacharound. So either I am just a dirty girl (which is not unfathomable) or.......OK I am just a dirty girl.

Reboot or Die

For any of you that work in technology or heck have owned a computer or even worked in an office since the 90's are aware of 'techies'. My brother happens to be one and since I am in technology I am surrounded by them. I am reminded of the skit from SNL, "Nick Burns, Your Company's Computer Guy"."MMMMMMMMMOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEEEE!" I laugh on the inside every time I have a computer issue and I need assistance from our support guys because this is all I can think of. And how many times have you heard, "just reboot/restart your computer"? I am SO over that (although 9 times out of 10 it works). Your computer could be turning into Deceptacon from Transformers and if you were to call the help desk they would just tell you to go to the start menu and choose shut down/restart.

Gambling, Sex, and Shopping...Oh My!

How could I be lucky enough to live in one of two countries that allow drug companies to advertise their wares on TV? I have a very addictive personality. I recently quit smoking and at the end of December it will be 3 months (which is freaking amazing). I have not quit chapstick or food. You do not want to find Rachel in a situation when she is hungry, has dry lips and no chapstick. Brutal! I stay away from hard drugs, alcohol consumption on a daily basis, and gambling. I don't think anyone reading this needs further explanation.

As mentioned, the US allows drug companies to advertise their drug of the month. At the end of each commercial there is the obligatory blurb spoken like a true used car salesman about the terrible things the drug can do to you. Usually its the common things: nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, changes in sex drive, changes in blood pressure, etc... In a most recent obligatory speech I heard there is a new drug (that I will not mention) that will fix your RLS and also will give you a compulsive gambling habit. Yes, if you take this drug you may become a compulsive gambler(also after doing a little research I found it to causes excessive shopping and sexual urges too). I don't need any help becoming a compulsive gambler nor help in the shopping or sex department. Can anyone say triple threat. However, there is a laundry list of things I do need help with. Just think, how wonderful would it be to have 800mg of ibuprofen with a huge dose of wanting to clean my house compulsion?
