I always get sick when there's a three day weekend. I think my immune system just prefers to fail and take a three day vacation. I also always get sick when I go to shopping malls because malls are huge germ bowls with no air vents. This is why I'm probably going to try and avoid malls this Christmas and do all my shopping online. There's a reason why Amazon and eBay are still in business; it's because of bubble boys like me.

Speaking of eBay, I recently bought this cd online and the person who sold it to me also sent a "bonus." Turns out to be a car freshener, but it's not one of those New York taxi ones, but a Apple Freshener! I'm considering putting it in my car, but I'm afraid once that smell is there, it'll never go away, and maybe some people hate the smell of apples. Or maybe during the summer days when my car heats up, the apple freshener will make my car smell like hot apple cider. Any recommendations or suggestions?

I'll go and buy a car freshener that smells like peanuts. Hey Alex, want a ride?

I got my Raising Helen dvd on Friday and immediately watched it. I must say, it was a very good movie. I give it two middle fingers up (but all Kate Hudson movies get good reviews from me). I'll try and get my 10 hour Kate Hudson movie marathon going sometime during Christmas break. I'll bundle up with some popcorn and soda and watch 10 hours of Kate. That's delightful.

The World takes an early lead.
