Just things

Jan 12 2009

Right before Christmas Teebs signed us up for Amazon Prime, which basically hypnotizes me into buying random things from Amazon. Late Friday night I followed a link from Twitter belittling Gwyneth’s GOOP. It was the article about her “organic plastic surgeon” in fact, I think it was that exact phrase warranting the tweet. I was like, “Whhaaaat? They do that now? I need to know more.” Anyway, somehow I found myself researching exercise videos and squeezed some pleasure out of reading reviews. Then I stumbled upon this one and found myself powerless against the urge to buy it. Look at those review stats! Only three 1 star reviews out of 633?! That’s fuckdiculous. It was only $8.49 and I get 2 day shipping at no extra charge so really, my hands were tied behind my back. It would have been stupid not to buy it.

Then that led to a slough of other cool but not entirely necessary purchases, because it was fun and they would be delivered to my door by Wednesday! Next I bought this heart rate monitor to wear while I do the 30 day shred. I had been eyeing one at Costco for a while and they sent me a $15 off coupon for it. Then I read the packaging and learned it was a men’s heart rate monitor. The fuck Costco? And btw, yes, it DOES make a difference.

Today, a co-worker needed a new cell phone battery. She searched all day to no avail. I found it on Amazon and even after 1 day shipping it’s still $15 cheaper than it would have been if I hadn’t forced her to let me abuse my Amazon Prime membership.

But then the buying spree took a turn for the worst and spilled out onto non-Amazon sites that had no awesome shipping membership. Remember how my iPhone broke and rendered itself almost useless because the lcd screen can’t keep itself attached to the glass just because of a few (hundred) drops, falls and spills? Well since my warranty is already non-existent because of my jailbreaking and hacking I thought it would be a great idea to spend a ridiculous amount on a non-guaranteed replacement that I have to install myself on the off chance that it’ll work and I can stop using this god-awful phone T-mobile sent me for signing up. I’ll keep you posted on how that spark of brilliance turns out.

The Millionizer needs to freeze her debit card in ice, or something

  1. I’m liking your new masthead though I’m afraid if I stare at it for too long I’ll have a seizure. Still, pretty!

    30 Day Shred is full of win! After the first couple of days you won’t feel like you’re going to die anymore and since it’s only 30 minutes long so you don’t have time to get sick of Jillian Michaels.

  2. seizures, i don’t have anything funny to say about them. but i can tell you that tbu just burnt himself on the heater even after i told him he was going to burn himself and he scoffed at me.

  3. What? You need heat where you live?

    I’m confused…

    Girl! You better put that card away before somebody puts a block on that amazon prime!

  4. well do we NEED heat? no. last week it was in the 40′s which is deathly to us but may sound like a tropical vacation to you. but today it was literally 79 and uncomfortable. i do not do well in any extreme temperature. but it may make you feel better to know that tomorrow we have a 30% chance of rain :)
