Amusing advertising

Israel supermarket spoof parodies Dubai killing

The ad, which hasn’t even been released yet, has already started to go viral.

No word from the police chief yet in Dubai on the subject.

Albany’s Race to the Bottom Continues

A state legislator from Brooklyn wants to have salt banned in NY eateries

Granted, many chefs can tell you that salt is used as a seasoning and a tool to bring out flavors. It’s not an evil diaboilical conspiracy tool.

People would serve themselves better by cutting out junk food if they want to lower their sodium levels.

Oranges

Filed under: Health/Medicine — Jaws @ 11:10 pm

Bought a bad of navel oranges at Trader Joe’s on Sunday morning. (I”ve had a craving for oranges as of late–dunno why).

This evening as I’m packing my food for tomorrow I’m looking for my oranges–which have myseriously dissipated from the counter.

BBM’d the sister who said she pitched the whole bag because “they were moldy”.

I’m quite dissapointed to say the least. Seeming that I’d only picked up the fruit on Sunday and by Tuesday it went bad. Not to mention the fact that she totally pitched a whole bag of fruit! (Note: I’m very sensitive to my proteins and produce).

Maybe I’ll find a bodega with decent fruit tomorrow en route to the gym (not too likely though–as the good ones aren’t on my usual commute).

Ink

Filed under: Random Musings — Jaws @ 10:18 pm

So one of the random assignments given to me at work today was to help refill promotional pens whose ink had dried up.

At first it seemed like a tedious boring task (okay–it is/was). However, after doing the first few…it became rather…addicting!

I’m not sure why–was it the hands-on tactile activity? But as I was making some phone calls (and sitting on hold for a while) I was able to keep myself busy changing ink cartridges.

Now what will tomorrow’s fun activity be?

Overheard in the gym

Filed under: Wierd Side — Jaws @ 9:47 pm

A discussion of fashion from the Academy Awards last night…

Note to self: it’s time to invest in an MP3 player….

Something I learned today

Filed under: Wierd Side — Jaws @ 9:46 pm

Importing pens into the United States from overseas–even if they’re just for promotional purposes requires extra customs documentation. This includes a declaration that the imported items do not contain toxic chemicals.

Even if they’re just plain old pens.

CAn’t say that I don’t learn something new everyday at the office….

Nutrition is the X-factor

The workout: An exercise in futility?

You can exercise all you want–but unless your diet is in order you may not see the results you want.

Academy Awards: Meh…

Filed under: General — Jaws @ 7:49 pm

Seeming that I’ve seen a grand total of ZERO of the pictures vying for awards this evening…can you guess how interested I am in the awards show?

Oooh…MSG has a Rangers-Sabers game on–Lundquist vs. Miller–this should be good TV instead.

Commericals

Filed under: Random Musings — Jaws @ 2:28 pm

So I’ve been taking care of The Sister who has been ill since Friday.

I did the good brother things like picking up tissues, ginger ale, Afrin, saltines, etc.
(She however was still able to manage order Kosher chicken soup on Friday night–score one for Seamless Web)

So yesterday the Sister was on the couch watching TV. She had it tuned to VH1 and/or Bravo most of the day.

I can’t even begin to tell you how many different commercials there were for acne/skin care related products on. It was as if during every single commerical break there was an anti-acne product advertised.
That and the “shake wight” seemed to be the most moved products. Makes me wonder what the target audience is.

Easy question

Filed under: Health/Medicine — Jaws @ 10:32 pm

To vaccinate or not to vaccinate–is it even a question?

The answer is to of course vaccinate!

Browns do something right!

Browns to restructure Cribbs’ deal

Very good move in keeping Cribbs on the team.

Now what else the Browns do…well….

I had dreams about work last night….what does that mean if anything?

Comparison Shopping

Filed under: New York City — Jaws @ 10:35 pm

The NY Post had a little article in which one of its reporters went shopping at 4 local groceries (well 3 brick and mortar ones + fresh direct)

The author’s findings–the best price came from….Whole Foods!

Sure WF has some grossly overpriced items (but I avoid those–nor are they usually on my list) but I’m able to get a lot of good ingredients for a low price and at high quality too. The produce selection also blows the local Gristedes and Food Emporiums out of the water.

Does not compute

Filed under: Fitness, Health/Medicine, Wierd Side — Jaws @ 10:29 pm

Weight Watchers’ endorsement of McDonald’s (in New Zeland)

Now what exactly on McDonald’s menu is nutritious? A cup of water? A bowl of lettuce? The Filet o Fish and the chicken nuggets contain not only a small portion of meat/fish–but a ton of other less than healthy crap too!

Honest NY Politicians?

Filed under: Politics — Jaws @ 11:29 pm

That’s got to be the latest oxy-moron.

Now we’ve got both Governor Patterson and Rep Rangel refusing to step down from their posts amidst scandals.

Why do people vote these individuals into office? (Okay–well patterson wasn’t really elected…but still)

Headache

Filed under: General — Jaws @ 10:09 pm

Wow…today was one of those days. The patients and some doctors calling into our office gave all of us headaches today!

ouch!

Physical Therapy recap

Filed under: Personal — Jaws @ 10:42 pm

Went back to PT today. Told the therapist, while it was nice to be back it really wasn’t somewhere I wanted to necessarily be. (The therapist understood completely).

The therpaist took a look/feel at my neck, and noticed that my left scalene was extremely tight, whereas my lower traps are weak.

Some myofascial release work was performed, and I can’t even begin to describe how much better things have started to feel. The true test will be tomorrow AM upon awakening–as that is when the pain is the worst.

Televised Garbage

Filed under: Random Musings — Jaws @ 10:15 pm

The sister has on the finale of “The Batchelor” in the other room.

From what I can overhear from the TV–I want to simply vomit. It’s even more nauseating than the “real housewives” shows that she watches.

Why do people tune into this tripe?

Monday

Filed under: Personal — Jaws @ 11:22 pm

Well, I’m bracing myself for another Monday tomorrow.

I do on the (perhaps) positive side, start PT for my neck problem. I’m more optimistic that the PT group I’m going to this time will be more helpful than my previous PT experience for a similar problem. We’ll see though.
