Let's not go there

I have to write a one page paper on emerging technology for my class. It is due this week, so of course, I am just looking for a topic. (Things have gotten a bit busy, don't judge my procrastination)

When I searched for "emerging technologies 2011" in google I came across gizmag.com. As I scrolled through, I found a really entertaining new product, the Supple. The product reminds me of the chairs used on the spacestation in Wall*E

The major difference being that these chairs don't float. Lame. Let's hope these don't catch on, like the Segway failed to do. People need to walk or else we will fulfill Pixar's prediction.

All Legs in my Apartment Deserve Great Socks

Screw being humble. I have great legs. They are long and lean. While they aren't worth $2 million like Heidi's but they are still rather fab. The biggest issue with them is that they are often too long for pants, tights or knee high socks. Thankfully, American Apparel makes thigh high socks that actually are long enough for people like me. I have the white ones with pink stripes (of course) and love wearing them to kickball games.

But know who also has great legs and lives in my apartment? That would be my dining room chairs - I'm glad you have been paying attention and know that I do not have any roommates and therefore the answer had to be an inanimate object. I think that I shouldn't be the only one looking great in this place. Fortunately Charles and Marie makes socks for chairs.

Not only do they make socks, but they make ones that match the ones I own from American Apparel. Right now I am still on a major budget and these are $20 a set. Hopefully business picks up in the spring and I have a little extra cash that would love the be spent on clothing for my furniture.

MELTING - MEEEELLLLTTTTTIIIINNNNGGGG

Back from Alaska. It was AWESOME. Pictures will be up shortly for you to view - I am on stolen wireless still and so I don't think it the signal is strong enough for some serious photo uploads.

The Comcast man did come today, though!! Not only did he show up between 2 and 5 like I was promised, but he came at exactly 2 pm!! That never happens. So I have Cable up and running, the internet I will be installing myself. Eeeep! This should be interesting - I just wanted to save the $40 bucks, we are in a recession you know...

But basically, I wanted to complain for a moment that I went from Alaskan weather of 60 degree weather (with one day that was still only 40 by noon) to Massachusetts heat in the 90s! I don't think I have stopped sweating since I stepped off the plane. Sigh. I honestly feel like I am melting. I knew something like this was going to happen when we were all looking for summer to show up. She did, and she brought some major heat.

A few other points of interest:

• United lost all of my family's luggage so we are 0-4 on the checked bags. They still have not yet located the bags, let alone started the process of sending them back to us. AWESOME. Fortunately, I have a LOT of underwear, so I should be able to survive for the next week or so.
• I bought some book shelves for the apartment, this should help with the unpacking a ton as I will now have a place to put books, dvds and games. Sweet
• I found a super cute couch at the Jordan's Clearance Wearhouse, sadly, I don't have a truck so I couldn't get that. Still couchless. Please let me know if you have a truck/van or know someone that would be willing to come with me to get some furniture! :) I would totally appreciate it. For now I am still on the look out for that ever so important piece of furniture.
