I'm afraid to see how expensive some of my favorite methods are going to be.

I made a sandwich earlier and was amazed how little it did to satisfy my hunger. Fifteen minutes later I found my sandwich in the den with only a single bite taken out of it.
Heh, I don't need a nap. What I need is a baby sitter.

Celebration penalties in college football ... stoopid. I don't even like football that much, but when penalties affect the outcome of the game (only because a team celebrated a late score) I decide to find another way to spend my time.
Google QSB just crashed on my mac. It has never done that. I was so disoriented I didn't know what to do and had to clumsily make my way into /Applications
