Woot and Whatnot

Went to the BBQ today - got lost on the way there, but finally found it. Had a good time, ate too much. Found out that one of the guys who works for HC knows about this great celebrity dish site, but he didn't tell me what the URL was and now I'm obsessed with finding it. I am now addicted to The Superficial, which I discovered as a result of reading another person's blog. I love to make fun of celebrities.

I also found out about Woot, which is a site that sells one and only one product each day. They post a new one at midnight Eastern time everyday and it's available until it's sold out. They don't tell you how many are left, they sell at exceptionally cheap prices, and there is little to no customer support. If you don't like what you bought, sell it on eBay. Anyway, that sounds like a great daily activity for me: checking Woot out. I have already registered and entered my information in case I should log on and see a great bargain one day and should need to click "I want one!" immediately. Apparently, there's also Woot Wine which sells one type of wine each day. If you're really into wine, that might be pretty cool. There's also apparently a sub-culture built around who is the first to purchase a newly posted product. The "Product Stats" link on the homepage has pretty graphs and statistics. It makes me want to buy something. I must be their target demographic. RG, you'll like the stats, I think.

D and I have started watching Project Runway. I quite enjoyed the first episode. I wouldn't think I would like it since I have no interest whatsoever in fashion; but, as always, it's a competition-based show and we all know how I love those. Also, there's a good new show on USA called Psych. Finally, for those interested in fitness, there's a new show on Bravo called Workout. I haven't seen it yet, but figured I'd post it in case anyone else is interested in watching it.

This weekend, D and I must buy me some new sunglasses. When we were in SF, I managed to somehow drop my sunglasses in front of the car and then D drove over them. I wasn't too bummed because I'd had them for 2 years (maybe more?) and was getting sick of them, but couldn't justify buying a new pair since those were expensive. Fortunately, I was smart enough not to just buy a cheap pair to get by on; I need really light (in weight) sunglasses or I get headaches from wearing them. I'm such a princess about stuff like this. Oh, and I also bought two more pairs of the sandals (shown in this post) I bought a couple of months ago. I have learned that when you find a good pair of shoes that are very comfortable, buy multiple pairs immediately, else they stop selling them and you're stuck trying to find a shoe that feels as good. I bought colors couscous and black - I currently have the couscous.
