ThingamagoopBeep! Beep! Booooop! As a kid, I would have loved the Thingamagoop. I would have driven my parents crazy with it. I can imagine hours and hours of headache inducing interactive fun. There is even a movie of the device in action. And that’s not all. You can actually customize it and buy it. Too bad that I’m trying to save for a house down payment. Being poor sucks.
4th of July launchAgainst my better judgment, I agreed to go to Disney World with a friend on the 4th of July. The place was packed. We went to Epcot and the Magic Kingdom. While at Epcot in the afternoon we rode the death machine, aka Mission Space. As soon as we got out of it, we saw a lot of people all looking into the same direction, and that’s when it hit me, the space shuttle was about to launch. And sure enough, not 30 seconds after we stepped outside, right over the the Mission Space building, there it was, the space shuttle. It was awesome. You could see the shuttle, the fire from the rockets and the thick column of smoke. It was picture perfect. People started clapping and we all looked until you could not see it anymore. The entire park had stopped and was looking at it. It was a perfect patriotic ending to a fantastic 4th of July theme park adventure.
Sucks!The vacuum cleaner died. Long live the cheap vacuum cleaner. When that happened I was faced with a decision, I could either go to Target and spend $80 on a vacuum that would last another 4 years top, or fork out the money for a good quality vacuum. After searching the web, I came across a deal at Amazon where I was able to get the yellow Dyson vacuum for $274 including second day shipping. You know, the vacuum that the British guy talks about on TV, the one that supposedly never loses suction. It came in yesterday. It was like Christmas. I opened the box and pulled everything out. I actually had to refer to the instructions manual to figure out, not only how to turn it on, but how to get the handle to recline my way so that I could use the vacuum. How embarrassing. But you know what? It works. The vacuum is freaking amazing. I was surprised at how smoothly it glided over the carpet, how much crap it was sucking, and how quiet it was compared to my previous vacuum. I liked it so much that I’m just looking for opportunities to vacuum. I can’t wait to use it again. I (heart) my Dyson And yes, I still have my beloved Roomba.
