This Post has NOTHING to do with the Presidential Election

Unlike every single other post that is being written in the blogosphere today, I will not be mentioning the presidential election anywhere in this post other than this very first sentence.

Now then, with that out of the way...
Has anyone ever tried using an inkjet waterslide transfer?
I'm curious to know how well they work as far as durability, ease of use, etc.
Just curious.

Now for something completely random:
I just saw a cartoon of some zombie chickens and it reminded me of the single most bizarre ad campaign ever (courtesy of Burger King).
Subservient Chicken
There you will find a man dressed in a chicken suit who is ready and willing to do what you tell him to do. It disturbs me to no end. The mere fact that this site has been up and running for at least 4 years is truly stunning. Go check it out...I promise you won't be disappointed...mildly disturbed, yes, but disappointed, no.

Today I leave you with:

A Morning Cup of Attention Deficit Disorder

I am predisposed to bouts of fixation/obsession. Not a creepy kind of obsession, mind you...more like a "Wow, I love this! How have I managed to live without it this long!?" kind of obsession. What am I currently obsessed with? In the interest of time, we'll go with the short list today, shall we?

Obsession #1:
Choward's Violet Mints
These things make me drool just thinking about them. Admittedly, they might not be to everyone's taste, (I had one friend say it was like sucking on a sachet from someone's underwear drawer.) but I think they're divine. They taste like violets. Yes, violets and they're yummy in my tummy. They have a slightly powdery, sweet floral taste. Give 'em a try. You can order them direct through Choward's or at Target.com

Obsession #2:
Cheerwine
I first discovered Cheerwine while I was rehearing for a production of "Fumed Oak" when I was 11 years old. By the time I was 12 I couldn't find it anywhere. Jump waaaaay ahead to 2006...I was in a theater watching what was quite possibly the worst film ever made when what did I spy in the background? A Cheerwine vending machine. This brought me hope that my beloved soda was still being manufactured. Lo and behold, it is. Can I get a woohoo? WooHoo!

Obsession #3:
These gorgeous items by these etsy sellers

Etsy Buy Handmade downanddirty

One question (or rant, depending on your point of view):
When did reporters (in all forms of media) become so confused? It seems that journalists are editorializing. There are no ethics in journalism anymore. Reporters are to give the facts, not opinions...with all the spinning and slanting that has been going on this election year (hell...the past 10 years for that matter) it's a wonder that everyone isn't completely dizzy.
"Obama is a socialist." "McCain is a racist." "What common food item in your kitchen is killing you right now? Tune in at 10 for the answer."
The news media is filled with rumors, lies and sensationalism. They prey on fear to gain viewer/readership. A newspaper shouldn't endorse a candidate (I'll bet there's fair and unbiased coverage there, eh?) *ahem...Washington Post...ahem...Boston Herald...ahem*
The news outlets should all be ashamed of themselves. I shudder to think what will happen if the media continues down this road void of ethics and real information.

I leave you with this:
