Jon posted his Five Aural Christmas Annoyances and I thought I could add five that affect my senses in a different way.

1. The Kay Jewelers commercial where Santa takes a break from letting the little brats sit on his lap at the mall and wanders over to the jewelry store. He asks to see a necklace or something, later he gives it to Mrs. Clause, she exclaims “Oh Kris, how did you know?.” Santa gives a wink. I’m pretty sure they’ve been running this commercial for the last 5 years. I think it’s time for something new.
2. Happy Honda Days, gee how witty. Get it Honda Days, like Holidays. It’s excruciatingly annoying and obnoxiously politically correct! Read the rest of this entry »

Tuesday afternoon, we were talking about Thanksgiving plans and the conversation moved to pets. Someone said something about how when their dog gets nervous it has a spontaneous evacuation of its bowels. She said that her dog “shoots out little turds”. This is a word I’ve always been fond of so I wrote it on our dry erase board. My co-worker thought it was spelled with an ‘e’ - I said no. She didn’t believe me so I told her to look it up on dictionary.com. She tried but had a freudian search and ended up on this page.

I enjoy desktop photos (or wallpapers for you pc users) and recently I’ve been trying to keep nothing on my desktop just to keep things nice and clean. As a result, I’ve been able to enjoy my desktop even more.  Helping me do that is a nice little app called Spirited Away, it hides any inactive window after 180 seconds.  (You can choose a longer or shorter time and exclude any application from being hidden.)  Also, and this is for mac users only, you can choose to turn off the visibility of your hard disks, connected servers, ect. to keep your desktop clutter-free.  Jeremy posted his so I thought I’d let you see some of my favorite desktops in my flickr desktop set.
