Add it to the list...

...of things you can hate about Boston. Good thing John Kerry almost threw out his back to force the NFL to broadcast the Pats/Giants game nationally today. Given that at the moment the score is 22-28 Giants.

Oops.

ETA: OK, so they actually won. But that's only because it was fixed. Seriously, I don't even watch sports normally, but did you see that game? That was ridiculous.

Good lord woman, pipe down!

There is a crazy old woman in the Borders I'm at right now who just finished making a couple of cell phone calls and not only was she herself talking too loud on the phone (a common problem with just about everyone on cell phones in public), she had the volume turned up so loud on her phone that I could clearly loudly hear every word the person on the other end was saying. I mean it was almost so loud that I thought she had the phone on speakerphone mode, but not quite. Which means she's either half deaf in which case she should get hearing aids or she's just so crazy she doesn't know how to use a cell phone, in which case she should go home and never come out again.

Also, perhaps predictably, her conversations were about how someone in her family, I think her nephew, was avoiding getting back to her about whether his family was coming to her place tomorrow or something. I think there's a reason, crazy. You're crazy.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
