Had a small herd of cows wander around the location for a couple of hours today.  For some reason they love liking on the drill pipe, especially the ones with a bunch of residual grease on them. 

Got the following from a friend in Houston who is a UT guy - don’t know the original source:

After last Saturday night’s game, I asked a friend what he thought about the chances of Tech winning all the rest of their games and ultimately, the National Championship. This was his reply:

“I’d like it for Mike Leach but Tech fans with a national championship would be like a retarded chimp with a Rolex. Sure he likes it because it’s shiny and it fits in his rectum but he’s a couple dozen millennia away from the evolutionary level required to truly appreciate such things.”

Fortunately this will be a moot point after tonight.

I know I just posted about this site… but I’ve been playing around on the site a little more and it I find it pretty neat how you can find just about everything for your house off of one site… It’s like the google of shopping.

I mean like if you do a search just for Lamps, you’ll end up on a page where it want’s to know what type of lamp you’re looking for; Table Lamps, Floor Lamps, Reading Lamps.  Or in my case I did a search for Coins and came up with… well a lot of coin purses… so I had to modify my search to make it more manly…  or more geeky less feminine as the case may be… So I searched for Lincoln Cent and found that there are several coin stores that are listing on this site… and they’re U.S. based to… BUT the prices on those seems a little high…

Which makes me wonder… if this wouldn’t be a good place to try and sell some of my extras…  I’ll need to find they’re user policy and check it out.  I know it would make Jen happy if I’d clean out some of my spares.

Anyway… Like I said I could play with this shopping site for a while…  Now to see if they have a Tom Tom, or Canon Powershot (HINT HINT HINT)

I needed something to spur me into writing again, so I’ve decided to occasionally write a review about something just for the sake of writing.  I even created a new category for this and have called it surprisingly enough - Reviews.

Jennifer has been bugging me to make a wish list for Christmas.  I know of a couple of things that I want, but I’ve also started looking around at some online shopping wiki’s to try and  get some ideas.  One of the things that bothers me about most of these sites is that the majority of them charge stores to be listed… So right from the get go, it’s hard for them to offer the lowest prices.  The site I just linked to is based in the UK, but they don’t charge stores to be listed.  I’m still looking for one from the states.

Anyway so I’m looking around on that site and I’m trying to get some ideas.  We bought WiiFit when it first came out (pre-ordered it), and we’ve been meaning to buy one of those yoga mats ( I learned something also…  In Europe they’re called Sticky Mats… sounds kind of dirty to me) to go with it, but haven’t… so that’s one idea.

Like I said, it would be nice if I could find one of these shopping wiki’s based in the states but at the same time for just getting ideas this’ll work.  And also like I said sometimes it’s neat to get a different perspective on things.   I had no idea that England celebrated Guy Fawkes day…  I did like the movie V though (and everyone knows how much I like dressing up for Halloween…  Maybe I could go as Guy Fawkes next year…)

Speaking of which I’m very sorry that we didn’t have our annual Halloween party this year.  I was working (technically I was home that day, but was wiped out).  And with the trying to sell the house thing, and finances (we blow over a grand every year on that party), Jen and I decided that we were going to let this one slip by.  I know Keith is upset about the whole thing, so Keith I promise I’ll buy you a six pack in the near future.

Other than that, I’m currently at work and should be here for the next few days to week.

I’ve been working on a website about coin roll hunting.  I’ve been surprised by the response (which has been good).  In the course of a couple of weeks it’s already averaging about 100 unique visitors per day.

It’s just a great little niche without very many competeing sites going up against it.  The other bright spot of this is that I probably won’t be posting any of my finds here but rather I’ll be posting them there.

The bad part of this is that I post so rarely here and now probably a little less.  I think it’s the OCD in me.  Jennifer swears that sooner or later this will run it’s course.  (Little does she know!!!)
