My favorite holiday

(http://www.nataliedee.com/112307/black-friday.jpg)

My favorite holiday is coming up....Thanksgiving....now why would Thanksgiving be the favorite holiday of a vegetarian? Well, obviously the day after is actually my favorite holiday. My Dad and I wake up early every Black Friday to shop, now I'm pretty sure he doesn't look forward to this as much as I do, but it's tradition now. This weekend I have devoted several hours in competitive research of leaked sales ads for the items that I'm willing to knock over a soccer mom at 5 AM to obtain. There are always a few stores I focus on....Kohls and Best Buy (points for originality, I know).



My search is focused on a DC25 Dyson....I want one and Ryan just doesn't understand why a Dyson versus any other brand of vacuum. It's just not the same. To prepare for this purchase I saved up my credit card points and cashed in for $150 worth of Kohl's gift cards. Clearly, I was hoping Kohl's would have the best deal on the Dyson. According to the leaked Kohl's ad my Dyson will be on sale for $399 from $549. Clearly this is a bargain. Now I'm just concerned how early I should wake up to wait in line at the local Kohl's. How many other crazy ladies (or men) are in the market for my Dyson? These are questions I need answered. How willingly will the BH Kohl's be to provide sales figures on the Dyson DC25?

The remainder of my shopping is focused on potentially replacing my household desktop computer. I almost feel like a traitor saying this as my current desktop has survived 6-years of use. My first computer purchased before I left for college freshman year. My computer has been a good friend and survived hours of usage, and many a term paper in college. It saw Facebook before Facebook was cool, and many a episode of Grey's Anatomy online. However, the time has come to look for a replacement. The sad part is today I could purchase a much more powerful, faster, etc. desktop for about a 1/3 of the price. Damn you technology.

Euforquestra - Soup Album Review

A friend told me download the album 'Soup' by Euforquestra.....I know Eufro-what is your first reaction......euforia + orchestra = Euforquestra (very creative in my humble opinion). The album is free to download here: http://www.euforquestra.com/ so I thought I should at least take a listen. Now, I'm no professional music critic, but I think they have a unique sound. The first song on the track had a reggae vibe, and reminded me very much of my most recent vacation. So I pondered what genre they considered themselves, and their website states "Afro-Caribbean-Barnyard-Funk” bringing together Afrobeat, Reggae, Afro-Cuban, Samba, Soca, Funk, Salsa, and Dub. I would definitely agree here, as some tracks have a strong reggae vibe, while others have a salsa vibe.

The cd will definitely keep you awake, so quick, if you are falling asleep at your desk - download it - you'll wake right up. I could see the album being good to listen to while on vacation or spending a day at the beach.

How is this news?



Dear CNN,

Levi Johnston posing for Playgirl is NOT news. First off, does anyone subscribe to that publication? I'm pretty sure the answer here is no, because last year the considered folding the magazine.

Second, Levi Johnston is Sarah Palin's daughters ex-boyfriend....in case that doesn't stand out enough, that means no one gives a shit. Okay yes, there are some people who give a shit about Sarah Palin (a few are followers of my blog), but no one cares about her daughter's ex-boyfriend.

I guess some people just want to extent their 15 seconds of fame......lame

Cheap Beer Makes College Students Drink More - ABC News

Cheap Beer Makes College Students Drink More - ABC News

Shared via AddThis
I read this and thought well that's obvious. While some people refer to my alma mater as "Wastern" (never by me, as I am not a fan of the name), I can tell you in Kalamazoo $1 drafts & Thursday "College Nights" are the busiest nights in town. Does it really take a study to tell you college students love cheap booze? Have you ever seen a tailgate or kegger in town?

Today, I was displayed this great ad on the Yahoo homepage. My first thought was what does Lindsay Lohan have to do with Guitar Hero? I mean this really made me think Lindsay Lohan & Guitar Hero really? But then, after seeing the add several more times. I realize those the are the 'girls next door' that replaced Kendra, Holly & Bridgette....again what do they have to do with Guitar Hero? And even more importantly why was I getting those ads? Do Hugh Hefner's new girlfriends (that are younger than me!) make me want to go buy Guitar Hero....um, no!
