Oi! whats the point of the ads???
Today was kinda fun, i finally had a day to do little.. now i'm waiting for the days where i do nothing.. one day.. one day.. i moto'd on over to the irwin blood bank and they strapped me onto this new blood sucking machine in which it doesn't take the typical one pint this one takes 2 pints worth of red blood cells only in one pints worth of blood. So this doohickey (yes i looked the spelling up at webster.com) takes a bit of my blood, filters what it wants, sticks it back into me, and then takes some more.. and i guess it's supposed to be standard where they kinda hide the tubes. But the way it was setup the tubes were just in front of me and i got to see it go back n forth.. The cool thing is that it takes 2 times the amount of good stuff and in one sitting and the recovery period is 2x the length.. 4 months insead of 2.. i'm ok with that. I wished that blood donations would be like a tax write off.. there'd be way more people giving it up..
in other news i was trotting around in the east bay and i couldn't do both of the things i was supposed to do so i wandered into the best buy over at Emeryville.. This weeks ad shows the HDTV that roxanne n i finally figured out for MSRP'd at 1799$.. the best price we found was during the memorial day sale at the good guys for 1599$. At best buy and at circuit city it was 1799$-10%. So i go look at the TV's and at the Best Buy at Emeryville it was on sale for 1399$.. i did a double take because they have an open box on the same tv for 1449$ does that make sense? and whats up with the ad? 'it's a store thing, certain stores are priced different..' So whenever i go to best buy to buy something do i ask the person if other stores have it cheaper? This is the second time it's happened to me at different best buys.. The first time was my Digital camera that i was ready to pay 399$ 'cuz it dipped from 450$ for the week but at the Palo Alto it was or 359$.. Wassup with that??
Anyways now i'll have a big screen mwahahaha!
