Wasted life.

Just got finished watching The Tooth Fairy.

I have to say that the best part of it (and the only thing stopping me from calling this post - 2 hours I will never get back) was Stephen Merchant.

He was hilarious.

I am now officially old.


Bought some ice cream the other day and when I opened it it looked like this.


First thing that went through my head was "That's fine, I will just scoop off that protective coating."

Once that thought processed, I was doubled over in a fit of laughter.

Holy shit...I am officially an old lady.

So far, so good.

I have been rocking the e-cig for 19 days now. I have to tell you, I am lovin' it. Being a gadget junkie, I was predestined to try it and I am glad I did.

I guess you just have to try it for yourself, but it is just like smoking. It feels like smoking, it looks like smoking, you get that hit in the back of your throat like smoking only you get just the nicotine and not all the other crap chemicals that you get from tobacco smoking.

I find that I can breathe better and I am even cooking, cuz shit just tastes better. You heard me, I am cooking....food, meals, like meat and potatoes and (what are those green things again?) vegetables. I kid you not.

I have not had a 'real' cigarette since I picked up this one. After (I would say) about 6 days this thing has paid for itself. Considering the 'juice' you use for it costs about $11 a bottle and it looks like one bottle will last me the better part of a month. So I am going from $300 per month (easy) with tobacco, to $11 a month vaping.

Now I want to clear this up. This is not, I repeat, NOT for quitting smoking. You are still getting nicotine, which is the only reason you can't quit tobacco. The nicotine is what you are addicted to. Granted, you could keep lowering your dose of nicotine until you eventually do quit, but if you really wanted to quit you could do that with just about any smoking succession aid.

I know why all those other things did not work for me. It is simply because I do not 'want' to quit smoking. I like to smoke, I enjoy it. This way I can still smoke, I just won't die from it. I don't see the down side.

I will say that I am pumping a lot of money into this thing initially. Only because being a gadget junkie, I need to get every possible accessory for this thing. Like one in silver and a cute little case to carry it around in. This also has led me to the realization that the mAh (or milliampere-hour) of the battery is the thing to pay attention to when choosing an e-cig.

The Joye 510 (the e-cig I have now, pictured above) comes with a 180mAh Rechargeable battery (two in the kit). When you first get the kit you realize it is going to be a bit different than drawing on a cigarette. Long slow draws are the way to go to get a good hit and lots of vapor. Long draws heat up the atomizer more. The warmer the atomizer the better the vapor. It takes some getting used to.

It was very impressive until I purchased my first accessory, the USB pass through battery. I didn't want to have to worry about the battery dying while I was working, and with this I just plug it into the laptop.

Now, the pass through has a 360mAh Rechargeable battery inside. The first time I tried it it just about cut the throat out of me. You just can't draw on it the same way as you would the 180mAh. You learn this very quickly. As the battery gets weaker (once you realize it is too much and unplug the thing) it becomes more of a normal cigarette smoking draw.

With that in mind, my next order will include the mega battery, its about in the middle of the road and wireless. It is a 280mAh Rechargeable, a little longer than the standard. Once I have this I think I will have the perfect setup and I can rest the credit card for a while.

As far as the juices go? I started with a Marlboro blend and if you are familiar at all with American cigarettes it was very potent. I have since ordered and received some flu curred and Camel flavored juice. I prefer the Camel (It is much smoother) but the flu curred is very nice as well. I have also ordered some flavored juices. Watermelon, apple and mint. So I should have enough juice to last me at least 6 months.

Bottom line, it might not be completely healthy to vape (considering you still get the nicotine) but I don't have to be a doctor to know that it has got to be better for you than tobacco smoking.

I Heart Karl Pilkington!

If you haven't seen The Ricky Gervais Show, you must download it. It is hilarious and it is mainly because of Karl.



Everyone should have a Karl in their lives. If only for the Monkey News.

Funny.

Save your sanity, learn how to hide and ignore. Drag your ass into the 21st century and learn this skill.

Now there's a shocker.

{insert sarcasm}

If anyone watched The 2 Corey's, they saw this coming.

Just surprising it took so long.

I like strangling budgies.

I have been looking for this thing forever.



Funny as hell. The 80's were so much fun.

Have to add the God Sketch.

File it under, You Can't Make This Shit Up.

Was at the Dollar Store today and came across this.



First impression was, "Naw...it can't be." Then I picked it up and it felt like what I was thinking it was.

What do you think it is? Maybe the nutritional information will help.



I figured it just couldn't be what I thought it was so I asked the clerk.

I thought it was hilarious that the Dollar Store sold pregnancy tests, but unblessed hosts? Is this where Father Bernie buys these things? I guess someone has to make them, but the Dollar Store. Seems a little sacrilegious.

WTF, John?

I am fast forwarding through most of American Idol. I don't pay much attention to it after the most entertaining part of the whole thing, that being the auditions. However, I did stop for a minute to see what John Park had to say.

"What people may not know about me is that English is my second language. When I was 6 I moved to Korea."

Okay, I am not a mathematical genius nor do I pretend to know everything about educational systems in every country but aren't you in school by the time you are 6 years old? What? You didn't speak? That must have been fuckin' irritating for the teachers.

"...moved back to Chicago in 4th grade..." So three, maybe four years in Korea. Dude, I am surprised you can still speak some Korean.

If that is the most interesting thing you could come up with? That's pitiful.

Canada owns hockey! Sid the Kid brings it home in sudden death overtime. Very exciting.

Both men and women walk away with the gold medals in hockey.

Icidently, Canada has won 14 gold medals, the most by any country at any Winter Games.

Olympic Commercials

They had some pretty cute commercials for the Olympics.

There is one Chevy commercial that was so cute. Unfortunately, they disabled the embed, so you will have to click here to see it.

It features two cars having a conversation and every time they are interupted by someone walking between them one of the cars yells, "Human!" hehehe...cute.

Um...but you lost...???

The US is all fired up over winning the most medals so far and it seems like the media is eating the same idiot cookies.

Okay...you won the most medals but you have not won the most gold medals and isn't that what it is all about?

I mean silver is cool...but you still lost the race.

"YEAH! We got 36 medals! WOO HOO!"

Okay, Retard. But in 27 of those events you actually ... lost.

I am not a sports person but I thought close only counts in horseshoes. When did they add that one to the olympics?

Here's your sign!

Picked up Bunnie at the doctor's today. Showed her my new e-cigarette and asked her if she wanted to try it.

"NO! I heard you can get nicotine poisoning from those things."

Then she promptly lit a cigarette.

IT'S HERE!

My e-cig arrived today! The Joye 510.

I am already chomping at the bit to get accessories for this thing.

Right out of the chute, this thing was awesome. Not only does it look like a cigarette, but you get the hit in the back of your throat like a real cigarette and you can even blow smoke rings with this thing. You would swear you were really smoking.

When I took the first drag on this thing I was anticipating ... I don't know what I was anticipating but I took a really long drag....it's kind of deceptive because there is no heat in your mouth like you would get with a real cigarette that tells you to stop drawing on it.

Well, like I said, I took a long draw........and nearly choked to death. LOL After the choking fit I was a little light headed. Seriously. If I had taken that long of a draw on a real cigarette I would have choked too.

With that lesson learned early, I took a normal draw on it and it wass awesome. I don't see myself ever smoking a real cigarette again. It has been three hours now and I am not in any kind of withdrawal. I am getting the nicotine my body craves without all the other crap. Unlike those nicotine inhalers this gives me all the other crap that I like about cigarettes...the actual smoking part. (Does that make sense?)It tastes like tobacco, hits the back of your throat like tobacco and you can even blow smoke rings if you like. All without any actual smoke.

I think the reason that patches, gum and pills didn't work for me is because I don't actually want to quit smoking. What I want is to smoke and not die.

Hey....I am now formaldehyde and arsenic free! (among 3000 other chemicals)

This is starting to get on my last nerve.

I ordered the e-ciagarette and was given a tracking number.
Label/Receipt Number: #########
Class: First-Class Mail International
Service(s): International Letter
Status: Electronic Shipping Info Received

The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on February 12, 2010 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.

The website and my invoice says 6-10 days. And here it is 10 days later and this is all I get. I emailed them so they could confirm that it actually left the building and then they tell me it could take 3 weeks. (not what I was told when I ordered it)

This shit is coming from Florida. In three weeks I could walk there and back.

Anyone need me to pick anything up for them on my way?

Join a fuckin' commune, Hippy.

I don't care if it is 'the most natural thing in the world'.

I don't wanna watch you haul your tit out in a restaurant and feed your kid. I have to pay for my meal...so should junior. It's a fuckin' restaurant, not a picnic park.

For the love of God....you can pump one bottle...it won't kill ya.

And isn't it always a kid old enough to work the fuckin' vending machine who walks up to 'Mom' so she can haul her tit out to give him a drink. You are not being natural...you are being cheap. Buy the kid a soda for fuck sake.

I know what you are going to say. Breast feeding has been around forever and is natural. Well we used to squat in the fields and give birth too.

Can we just retire the tie-dye t-shirts and drag ass into the 21st century please?
