I just finished watching next weeks all new United States of Tara. How? I don't know why but they always have new episodes a week early in the On Demand channel only. I only found out by accident when I first started watching the show.
I won't give anything away but next weeks episode will answer any and all questions about Andrew Lawrence's character on this show.

Satellite Clocks
I bought this satellite clock from Publisher's Clearing House last year because I wanted to increase my chances of winning money hehe. I know, buying doesn't increase your chances blah blah blah.
So I've always wanted a satellite clock ever since they came out but I really don't NEED a satellite clock that much so I just never bought one. I don't really look at a regular clock, I always look at a cell phone or the cable box or the clock on the computer and all those clocks are basically satellite clocks.
I didn't have an alarm clock though so I bought this from PCH. I haven't had it long enough for it to require a time change from the stupid twice a year time change. Right now it's "Spring Forward" but my clock didn't spring forward like it's supposed to. I took a picture to show that it is still at 11am when it should be 12pm. I put it outside and pressed the sync button to see if it syncs or not. Here is a picture of what it looks like so you can beware not to waste your money on it.
The only way that the camera was able to take a picture of this so you can see the display was from an angle. In fact, the only way I can see what time it is is to tilt it so I can see it from this angle. Otherwise the LCD display looks blank. It always looks like the batteries are dying even though it has brand spanking new batteries in it. It does have a lovely blue light when you press the snooze button so you can see it better in the dark.
I could set it manually but that's not way I bought it. I bought it so I wouldn't have to. I'm going to go check on it to see if it's changed or not. It's been out there for about 10 minutes.... OK good, I just went and got it and the time has indeed changed to the current time according to my cable box. It is currently 12:23pm.
It would be nice if it set itself in the house and I wouldn't have to take it outside to have it set itself properly. But you know, it's only twice a year and during battery changes that I have to deal with this crap. So I guess I take it back. Buy it but beware, you have to tilt it to see what time it is and you have to take it outside to sync with the satellites.

Cell Phone Popcorn
I was just sent this video that shows these people with cell phones sitting in a circle on a table with about 5 or 6 pieces of pre-popped popcorn and they each call their perspective cell phones and all of a sudden these pieces of corn just start popping. Then they show another group doing it then another group doing it all getting the same results, popcorn.

However, I went to YouTube so I can get the video so I can embed it in here much easier than just putting in a link and I found this one instead. It's from a radio show called "The Regular Guys" on 100.5 FM in Atlanta, Georgia. They try the same thing but get no results. I don't know if it's because one of the cell phones was vibrating away from the corn or not but the corn did not pop thus debunking this myth.
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC4eeB2M7hk
There is a spoof video of these guys trying it with a steak. Check it out it's so funny.
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=przkFZJSkOc
I went to Snopes.com to get the whole truth about this and it's false. The snopes page that I actually went to was about cooking an egg with a cell phone but towards the bottom of the page they showed these videos about popcorn. They show a CNN news story where they talk to the guy who created these videos for a blue tooth company who basically made this up to sell his product and these stunts are all for a commercial. Not meant to scare people but meant as a joke and to sell their product.

Michael Jackson's Final Curtain Call
Michael Jackson is doing his final curtain call by doing 10 concerts in London. He says "this is it" no more after that. Is this supposed to be a come back? Because I'm not seeing come back when he says it's his final curtain call. Why is he doing this? Money! He's broke because of all his financial problems due to his court issues a couple of years ago.
He has to do 10 concerts so he can have the money to buy a new Neverland in London because his Neverland has been sold and all of his possessions are being auctioned.
I really do feel sorry for him. He was a gorgeous black man once upon a time and now he's a gross skeletal white woman. I really don't understand what is going through his mind. His nose is so small and it looks like he doesn't have a nose. I don't want to trash Mike because I like him but come on dude, stop doing weird shit. You are a very talented person but your BDD is way out of control.
I have BDD also but I don't have the money to fix my issues. The only issue I have is my weight so all I'd need is a treadmill and possibly a personal trainer and I'm done. Maybe go to the hair club for men and get some contact lenses but that's it lol.
I wish Michael Jackson the best of luck with his final 10 curtain calls and I hope he makes enough money so he can be comfortable even though our shitty economy is spreading like wild fire to the rest of the world. Good luck taking all the English peoples money away from them, making them homeless so you can get rich again.

Eye Video Camera
Filmmaker shows off eye-mounted wireless video camera
Check this out. This filmmaker invented a eye mounted wireless video camera that he can plans to use to film a documentary. He lost an eye as a child and so he has a prosthetic eye.
This would have a very good use for blind people, that is if it had a chip that attached to the brain so that the blind person can see everything that the bionic eye can see. They could remove the blind eyes and put in 2 prosthetic eyes with the camera installed into them. I don't see how you would be able to move the eyes though so I don't know how that would work. Although, they could just remove 1 eye because you probably only need 1 good eye to see.
I can see some other uses for this like for example video making, since it's wireless you can have it recording to a hard drive in your pocket like the size of a USB drive then when you are finished recording you can put it on your computer to edit.
But the con side of that is you could be intimate with someone and they won't know that you are video taping and then you could put it all over the internet and that person would be humiliated forever.
But, I can also see a good side. If you are robbed at gunpoint or maybe even killed the police can look at the video to see who robbed and or killed you.
Piracy would be so much easier with this too. People would go to the movies and be video taping it with their eye, they'd have to keep real still, don't sneeze. Then put it out there for all to see. Same with concerts. It's bad enough that there are too many pirates out there stealing money from the movie industry by selling illegal DVDs, I can just imagine that they would find out that they are using a bionic eye then they would have an eye scanner all over the place so you can't record. But what if you are blind? What then?
There are many pros and cons to this and I'm not exactly sure if this will ever happen but who knows, it might be sooner than you think. I'm sure it will cost several thousands of dollars and it will only go to those who can't see and there probably won't be a hard drive for video taping but more a chip attached to the brain for blind people to see. That's fair enough. If they knew it could be used for illegal purposes then they would become illegal to have very fast.

No Energy Today
I was woken up by the doorbell today at like 10 something am cause this guy wanted to mow our lawn since we have let it go lol. I had already planned on mowing it today and so Chip told him we were going to do it today. I got in the shower to wake up then sat and watched TV for maybe 20 minutes and decided OK, I'm going to go mow the lawn.
I did our tenants lawn then I did the front of our lawn but not the side, I filled 1 green can with just all the cut grass but I really didn't feel like I had enough energy to finish. Besides that the lawn mower kept stopping and it won't turn back on now so I'm going to leave that to deal with tomorrow. The green cans go out tomorrow night so I have a full 24 hours to get it done (git-r-done hehe).
I went to the kitchen to make a ham sandwich for lunch and I got all the dishes from yesterday that I had no energy to do plus there is a dryer full of t-shirts that I have to fold and a washer with whites I need to dry. I really need to get some energy. I don't know what's wrong with me, I just feel very lazy today.
You know how when it's a crappy gray day outside with storm clouds and you tend to feel depressed and it makes you lazy? That's how I feel but the sun is shining and it's nice outside. I don't know why I'm feeling this way.
I also want to read but don't feel like it and I have to watch the first 3 episodes of Dollhouse on Hulu so I can talk about that.
Maybe I'll go make a latte. I'll have to go to Albertson's on my bike to get some creamer because a latte isn't a latte with just milk, it tastes so much better with flavor. Yeah, I'll go do that, I bet you then I will have so much energy I won't know what to do with myself.
