Master Cleanse Day 2

So far so good. I didn't go to work today because of the storm but it was a really easy day for me. I didn't exert that much effort all day so I didn't have to worry about being fatigued but I will see how it goes tomorrow. Back to work. The bridges will be open. No subway. Some bus service.

Master Cleanse Day 1

Day 1 of the Master Cleanse.

So far I only drank one bottle of the "lemonade."  It tastes the way I remember it to taste.  Lemony with a kick of the Cayenne pepper in it.  So far nothing major to report, no crazy bowel movements or stomach issues.  I guess now is a good time to start since the holidays are coming up and I know I will be eating way more than I should.  Least I could do is start off being a little skinnier... lol.  

Goal is to lose 50lbs by the end of month.  To ambitious?  I don't think so.  After all I'm 50+ lbs overweight!

Master Cleanse 2012

Okay. Seems like I've been overly glutinous this year and need to do a cleans. This is my second time around. This time I'm going to see if I can do the full 30 days. Let's see! I did it for a couple of week last time.

Mind over matter, mind over matter, I think I can, I think I can.....

Goal is to lose 50lbs.

Admiral Ackbar Talking Plush

Hehehe, gotta have it.

Admiral Ackbar Talking Plush:

I guess you can more or less say that Admiral Ackbar’s most famous line in his Star Wars “career” would be, “It’s a trap!”, when he realized that his fleet of Mon Calamari cruisers are outnumbered and outgunned by the Imperial fleet of Star Destroyers. Well, you can now bring home a cute version of the good admiral himself in the form of the $29.99 Admiral Ackbar Talking Plush, where he comes across as a Star Wars Celebration 2012 exclusive. All you need to do is give this cute little plush a nice squeeze, and Admiral Ackbar will then blurt out his signature phrase – as long as the batteries inside last, of course. Do bear in mind that only limited quantities will be available, as once they are sold out, the only way you can get your hands on one would be to look out for it on a second hand shop or via online channels.

To make sure it retains a sense of authenticity, there are the words “Star Wars Celebration VI” printed on the bottom. The Admiral Ackbar Talking Plush measures approximately 8″ in height.

Soggy Cereal No More

That was my idea!  Just kidding.

Soggy Cereal No More:

Don’t you love the moment when you pour your milk in the cereal and the phone rings? Aack! By the time you stop talking your milk will have taken over and you are left with a soggy pile of mush. There is no worse way to start the day.

Some smart person at Brookstone decided there should be separation of cereal and milk. Welcome to the Obol®, a 2 compartment bowl. A lower reservoir exists for liquid and the dry stuff has its own home on the other side. To mix the two simply scoop some cereal into or through the milk. And cereal isn’t the only good use. Milk and cookies, soup and crackers, chips and salsa, the possibilities go on and on. Obol’s textured bottom and non-slip grip make for easy handling. Kids can hold on and prevent spills! And Obol is made of BPA-free polypropylene so it is safe and easy to wash. Express your personality and pick your color – cranberry, white or green – and Obol is yours for just $19.95. Brookstone is currently offering a special – 2 Obol’s for $30. So pick one up for a friend and let them end the soggy cereal blues.

Bacon Bubbles – a Doggie Delight

Why is this just for dogs???  Lmao!

Bacon Bubbles – a Doggie Delight:

Dogs are easily amused. But face it, they do require constant attention. They always want to be in the action, but frankly it can get exhausting. So why not combine two canine loves and help keep your pooch entertained?

If you have not had the pleasure of seeing dogs playing with bubbles, do yourself a favor and YouTube it. Dogs go bonkers for bubbles. They chase them, pop them, pounce on them and even just watch them. Another dog love is bacon. No doubt about it. Fido will wait at your feet all day if he knows bacon is being cooked.

Bubbletastic – purveyors of everything bubble – combined these two canine loves. The Bubbletastic Bacon Bubble Machine will entertain your dog for hours on end. Powered by 6 AA batteries, the machine cranks out bubbles of all sizes for hours. Combine the machine with bacon scented bubble solution and you have a perfect pairing for pooch entertainment. The solution is 100% non toxic and tear free so pets or kids are safe. And Bubbletastic combined the dog bubble machine and four 8oz bottles of bacon bubbles into a bundle for just $39.95 on Amazon.  So give yourself a break from entertaining your four legged friend and let bacon bubbles take over.

Your House in LEGO®

Yes, totally....

Your House in LEGO®:

Here I go again. I love LEGO. One of my favorite videos is James May’s Toy Stories and the construction of an actual LEGO house. Can you imagine living in such an abode? Movoto Real Estate offers a variety of tips and ideas on home buying on Movoto Blog. Trying to bring some humor into our days, they posted a LEGO calculator. Yes! You can determine – based on square footage and floors – how many LEGO bricks and dollars would be required to build a house. To give you an idea, 2000 square feet over 2 floors would run you about $1 million. Certainly not what your friends would expect when you invite them to your million dollar home. Their estimates strictly covers the walls and roof. So bump the price up if you want to fully furnish your unit. Read more on their methodology and logic on the blog, and see what your home, built in LEGO, would cost.

Hello Kitty Tie Fighter

Lol, not sure how to feel about this.... 

Hello Kitty Tie Fighter:

Just when you think that everything that could possibly be branded with the evil feline, something else ends up in my email box. Once again, Star Wars fans die a little inside with the Hello Kitty Tie Fighter

You just know that Star Wars would have had a different (and much more apocalyptic) ending had the Tie Fighters looked like this because there would be absolutely no way to triumph over the corresponding Darth Vader. When people talk about the “dark side,” the darkest of the dark is held without questions by the cat with no mouth. That is why we are all ultimately destined for Hello Kitty Hell…

Happy Harvest Moon

Dinner!

Yum. Dad's sweet and sour chicken. I think he's got it!

Hello Kitty Chia Pet

For all of you 70's kids, remember these??  So Awesome!  This goes on my Christmas list.

Hello Kitty Chia Pet:

If there was ever a doubt (which there certainly shouldn’t exist at this point) that the evil feline was willing to do absolutely anything to earn a buck (do we really need to revisit the whole Hello Kitty vibrator incident?), we now have an additional piece of evidence: The Hello Kitty Chia Pet — seriously, you can’t make this crap up…

As much as I despise the one with no mouth, I may actually buy one of these for my wife. Before you faint in shock, take a minute to think about it. If I am going to have to live with her presence in every aspect of my life, having her grow a green mop of Chia hair puts me in the perfect position where I can mock her back as she mocks me. Such goes the reasoning when you have lived as long as I have in Hello Kitty Hell…

Meet Coco

Niiiiice! Haha!

Hello Kitty Hatchet:

Well, I guess if you’re going to go into a zombie fight against the evil feline (which is undoubtedly how the world will end, because there is simply nothing that could be more terrifying than the Hello Kitty apocalypse), you are going to need to prepare yourself against more than a Hello Kitty chainsaw since you know you will be fighting horrors like this and this. Obviously, the Hello Kitty hatchet will be their weapon of choice when they come after you at a short distance:

It’s already been well established that the cat with no mouth loves her weapons and this seems almost tame in comparison to some of the others she has developed to end you life. Still, the fact that she wants to kill everyone as violently as possible (if she can’t submit you to her horror of “love and happiness”) pretty much assures that all will die some sort of Hello Kitty hellish death…

Another Thing for You Star Wars Fans!

Star Wars Death Star Tea Infuser:

What do you think Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader do during those afternoons (actually, are there noons when you’re in space? It should be pretty gloomy all the time)? Do they sit down and have a game of chess, or hone their lightsaber skills against one another, get smashed with some extra-terrestrial booze, or simply sip a cup of tea while discussing just which planet the Death Star should blow up next?

Assuming they’re all for afternoon tea with cupcakes and delicious pastry (I still wonder how inconvenient it must be for Vader to eat his meals. Perhaps technology then just pumps nutrients and vitamins into his body), then surely they would have this $19.99 Star Wars Death Star Tea Infuser as part of their kitchen equipment. The tea infuser itself has been molded to resemble the Death Star, where you fill it up with your favorite loose leaf tea, and then plonk it into hot water to let it steep.

This is an officially licensed Lucasfilm collectible, and you just got to love the cute little TIE Fighter that is attached to the Death Star.

R.I.P. Favio

So I bought some fishies for my office, two and a half weeks they survived being tossed around in the bowl and since I placed the bowl on top of the filing cabinet they even survived the turbulence of the drawers being slammed closed a hundred times a day.  The smallest of small fishies Favio did not make it.  In hindsight he looked like he wasn't eating as much as the others.  (P.F. "Pepperidge Farm", and Wolowitz)  Ahh well, maybe I will go buy some more fishies... :)

Star Wars R2D2 Lunch Bag with Sound

Would I look silly carrying this to work?  Hehe.

Star Wars R2D2 Lunch Bag with Sound:

This is definitely the droid that you are looking for if you are hungry and always pack your lunch to work. After all, R2D2 has served many a mission with the Rebel Alliance in the past, and here he is yet again with another mission – to make sure that you will remain nice and full in order to continue work for the rest of the afternoon. Yes sir, the world’s favorite astromech droid is now available in lunch bag form, complete with push button for beeps, boops, and lights.

It is made out of 100% PVC, and for health concerns, it is BPA free so that you know for sure you are not having any kind of unwanted poisons in your body that is accumulated over the years. Thanks to the $19.99 Star Wars R2D2 Lunch Bag with Sound, you are able to be amused by its bleeps and boops, while munching on your favorite sandwich (or whatever else that the missus has packed for you, of course). .

Hello Kitty Toilet With Pink Surprise

I think I would stare in the toilet if I ever made a pink poop.  I wonder if it smells like Japanese gum......

Hello Kitty Toilet With Pink Surprise:

One of the most disturbing aspects of living in Hello Kitty Hell is that it becomes painfully obvious that the people at Sanrio truly believe that if they simply put a bow on anything, this makes that thing cute. That, and the overwhelming fact that they simply can’t leave bad ideas alone, but feel it necessary to double down on them. By doing so, they make what any rational person would believe were the worst possible creations somehow even more disturbing.

So it really should not come as a surprise that at a recent Hello Kitty exhibit that a Hello Kitty toilet would be featured. Of course, the evil feline couldn’t simply leave it at that. Instead, she decided that since there seemed to be so much interest in Hello kitty poo (including in toothpaste form) that it would be cute to leave some with a bow on it in the Hello Kitty toilet (seriously, you can’t make these things up)

As I sit here, I find myself overwhelmingly disturbed by the fact that it doesn’t surprise me in the least bit that Sanrio thinks that it’s a good idea to kittify crap by turning it Pepto Bismol pink and throwing a bow on it, and that I know it is simply a matter of time before they promote this to consumers as a good thing…
