Potpourri

A collection of randomness, in which I practice linking:

I knew it!
William Fichtner (recently of Empire Falls) was the guy in Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time video! Heard the song on the radio today and brain put two and two together to give me yet another useless piece of information to store.

So, you know when you're eating something, say, Oreos for example, and you offer some to your friend/neighbor/lover/dog/whatever, and they decline because they just aren't an Oreo kind of person? Then you put the Mint 'nCreme Oreos in the fridge, because they are ever so tasty when chilled, and you go to work, because that's what you do. And you come home, and the Oreos are GONE, and no one is awake to bitch slap for eating your tasty treat after a long ass day. That is vair vair annoying.

I may not have lived here very long, but even I know this: Do not build your house on a hill people. Especially not the slippery slopes of Southern California. No, it's not just the jealousy talking. I just can't imagine sinking over a million dollars into a house and building it in a location that is prone to destroying your hopes and dreams. And then, doing it TWICE. Who rebuilds in the same location as the previous near-death experience? I feel bad for them and hope everything is ok, but I still just don't understand.

Did your mom ever throw a Tupperware party? I think mine did once, against her will. Large families will do that to you. I wonder how the Tupperware company is doing? I'd like to see their sales figures, maybe a pie chart or two. What has made me wonder about the financial state of a plastics product company?
Driving home last night with a bag full of dirty disposable food containers from last week's lunches, knowing at least half of them will end up in the trash. I know, I know. Wasteful. But seriously, at 4 for $2, it's too easy. Now Tupperware is expensive, and worthy of soak time in the sink. There's a point at which the cheapy stuff just doesn't come clean anymore and it's time to recycle.

I think the execs should consider Tupperware for the party crowd!
