Viva Viagra

by Derek on August 28th, 2009
Viva Viagra

I love footage in new medicine commercials. It’s kind of like watching the footage in a karaoke video, at best it’s vaguely related to what’s actually being talked about on screen. The difference being that in karaoke videos it’s a song not a list of side effects that include headaches, dizziness, flu, dry mouth, internal bleeding, thoughts of suicide and death.

The Viagra one is particularly hilarious because of the viagra.com boat they have there. I can’t imagine doing something like that unless I was the guy who invented viagra. What sort of looks would you receive?

DTV Transition

by Derek on June 12th, 2009
DTV Transition

The digital TV transition is finally here. The way I understand it, the FCC is letting TV stations decide on their own when their analog signals go down today so people won’t REALLY notice until Saturday. I predict mayhem and lots of news stories about people who waited too long or maybe stories of people in line for converter boxes and stores running out of them etc.

My only hope is that the signal is stronger, because a lot of channels can be pretty darn flakey. I’m almost on the top floor of my apartment building so I wonder about people with TVs in more confined areas? Does that even make a difference? If someone walking on the side of the room opposite the antenna can have an effect, then how is it going to be for lots of people out there?

Dead Roach Exile

Dead Roach Exile

The other more horrible scenario being that the walls are stuffed with dead roaches and that for every couple dozen dead in the walls there’s one that decides to leave and keel over on the floor for us to find.

Watchmen

by Derek on February 27th, 2009
Watchmen

Watchmen has been on my reading list for a very long time, probably since freshman year of college or so. I don’t remember why but I was thinking something like “What would superheroes be like in the real world?” My friend told me to read Watchmen. But alas I haven’t got around to it until the impending release of the film gave me a deadline to read it. So right now I’m about halfway through reading it during my down time that I have at work, but I refuse to read it in the subway for fear of being judged like this. I’m self conscious like that.

Yeah It’s Like That

Yeah It’s Like That

I’m taking this Friday off to move a few odds and ends to our new apartment before the movers do the big work on Saturday. I was going to take Monday off, but I didn’t realize that it’s a holiday anyway. It all works out rather well. Don’t ask me why he’s holding a cat in the third panel, I was trying to think of different situations of boundless joy.

Pillsbury Sensitive Boy

Pillsbury Sensitive Boy

Has anyone else watching TV noticed they don’t poke the Pillsbury Doughboy anymore? Has this been going on for years and wasn’t aware because I don’t watch TV? Is it not politically correct or something? Watching this old commercial makes me nostalgic because HOLY CRAP look how deep the finger used to press in!

Standard Trash Bag Size

by Derek on October 22nd, 2008
Standard Trash Bag Size

You never know…

A while ago I got some plastic bags to use for my recycling. They were way too big to the point that there’s no way I’d be able to bring it downstairs if it were full, especially if it had glass bottles in it. So usually I had to stop filling it, get another bag and divide the two before bringing it downstairs. So I finally ran out and went to the store to get some smaller bags. I was almost positive that some time ago I had clear bags which weren’t as small as my kitchen wastebasket bag yet not as ginormous as these bags. Well if I did they’re gone now, because it’s just 13 or 30 gallon bags (49L and 113.5L respectively).

Right now I’m choosing to believe that there’s some story about these two sizes that became standard way back when and there’s some interesting story about how they can’t be any bigger or smaller than that.

Disaster Movie Recruiting

by Derek on September 18th, 2008
Disaster Movie Recruiting

I was doing that this morning when the subway stopped in one of those areas where the ground is slanted. The subway was a little full and I started looking around. Then I started looking at the lunches I was holding and everyone with food imagining us having to ration it between the people in the subway car. Of course then eventually there’d have to be the scene with the person who was hiding food for themselves and whatnot. The air conditioning turned off briefly so I imagined that as another plot element that would aggravate the people in the car until they started arguing with each other.

Subway Spew Spectulation

by Derek on September 4th, 2008
Subway Spew Spectulation

When I got on the train yesterday morning there were two puddles of some chunky liquid, mostly sure it was puke. This was my amateur detective skills at work, seemed very plausible to me. The question is did it happen on the way in or on the way out? You could tell people on the train were eyeing it to see if anyone stepped in it. Most people managed to avoid it, one guy stepped in it and tried scrubbing his foot on the floor. One girl in sandals did a FULL SLIP on it but didn’t completely lose her balance. Ew.

Legless Roach

Legless Roach

I should’ve taken a picture before smashing it further into oblivion, but I’m pretty damn sure. I think I would’ve noticed if the legs were just extra curled up or something.
