was cleaning out my inbox and found this:
Center of the Bible
What is the shortest chapter in the Bible?
(Answer - Psalms 117)
What is the longest chapter in the Bible?
(Answer - Psalms 119)
Which chapter is in the center of the Bible
(Answer - Psalms 118)
Fact: There are 594 chapters before Psalms
118
Fact: There are 594 chapters after Psalms
118
Add these numbers up and you get 1188
What is the center verse in the Bible?
(Answer - Psalms 118:8)
Does this verse say something significant
about God's perfect will for our lives?
The next time someone says they would like
to find God's perfect will for their lives
and that they want to be in the center of
His will, just send them to the center of
His Word!
Psalms 118:8 "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man."

man, i've been eating so well these past few days... dinner party on friday, swiss chalet family pack (what? grace and i are a family of four...) on sunday, copper penny (with bible study people) yesterday, and cambodiana (with grace and hasib) today. mmmm.
today was my last orgo lecture AND lab! hurrah! (plus i got 73.4% yield this time instead of my normal 30%!!!)
just three more days until the end of school... and half a day until my biol 200 practical. gulp!
also, i just had to add this in b/c it's such a rarity in kingston: good weather. i'm totally loving this weather! yesterday afternoon was like my ideal weather! sunny, long-sleeved but jacketless weather (without it being too windy or sweltering hot)... i'm lovin' it! it just puts me in such a happy mood!
also noteworthy: i actually went to sleep at 11:30pm last night (and woke up at 10:20am the next morning). i can't even remember the last time i went to sleep before midnight here at school! but then again, i really needed it. i was going to study, but i was dead tired b/c pulled an all-nighter the day before. grace convinced me to go to sleep b/c came in my room to chat (and play alchemy) while i was lounging on my bed "studying". i was talking absolute nonsense for what i thought was just twenty minutes... turns out that it was really over an hour and grace was just talking with me b/c she thought i was amusing (i DO remember her saying something about wanting to record our conversation). yay for incoherancy! (please, no comments about how i'm normally incoherant anyways...) :p
a friend sent me this forward:
----------------------------------------------------------
Count the number of 'F's in the following text:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS
Managed it?
Scroll down only after you have
counted them!
OK?
How many?
Three?
Wrong, there are six - no joke!
Read again!
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS
The reasoning is further down.
The brain cannot process the word "OF".
Incredible or what?
Anyone who counts all six 'F's on the first
go is a genius, Three is normal.
----------------------------------------------------------
so how many did you guys get?

you know, living in kingston really is like living in a bubble. unless you pick up a newspaper, you're in a blissful state of ignorance about the world around you. but when reality catches up with you, you fall back to the ground with a sickening thud... i understand how murders and hate-crimes happen everyday, i just don't know why. i cannot, for the life of me, fathom why on earth anybody would commit such heinous acts.

whoa, can you believe that i'm done my drosophila lab report? wow, that was only 15% of my final mark done in roughly two days... AND IT'S DONE AND HANDED IN! THANK GOD!!!! (literally!) and actually pretty decently written, if you ask me. honestly, it's not that i don't want to do assignments, it's just that i always have the roughest time getting the writing juices flowing. but yeah, I'M DONE!
now all i have to do is study for my lab practical on wednesday... gulp.
good news: my parents arrived safely in HK this morning!
felix, what do you mean why would you hear from UT? have you been stuck in a non-seeing-tiffany's-blog box for the past few months? :p anyway, i'm applying to UT for the pharmacy program... sort of a "get me the hell outta queen's bio" attempt b/c i was absolutely detesting my program in first term. besides the many, many labs though, i'm actually kinda enjoying this term way more, so who knows? i might opt to stay! (i'm also really interested in the rehab therapy programs that are offered here in queen's as masters programs, so i might do that instead of pharm). heck, i might not get into either programs, so it's really just up to God at this point... :)
anyway, i'm kinda hungry, so i think i'm gonna go have some leftover swiss chalet...
oh, and b/c i forgot to mention this last week: yes, you all were right. the OC was absolutely hilarious last week. i could've done without the "paris hilton is a grad student" cameo, but jimmy and julie are hilarious being bitchy to each other and what it really comes down to is this: i love adam brody. :p

also: my parents are flying out to hk tonight and will be gone for three weeks. any prayers regarding their safety and health would be greatly appreciated. i guess i'm a bit paranoid - i always get freaked out when any of my family or friends go on a long trip via airplane.... mom and dad, be safe! <3

ugh.
sorry for the lack of blogging. so things have been busy and will continue to be that way until wednesday. finished the locust essay and orgo report, and now have to do my compensatory evolution in drosophila report for monday and study for my biol lab exam for wednesday. yuck. i got back about two hours ago from my pharm admission exam... i have no idea how i did and can only hope for the best. i know i didn't do well - i really can't write essays under pressure - but i think i did solidly enough that they don't think i'm illiterate! :p meh, but i still don't know if i want to go or not... was reading the courses you have to take in first year and they sound so yucky and full of chemistry... but we'll see... i leave it in the hands of God now. (haha, b/c it'll be only through divine intervention that i'll get into pharm once they see my marks! :p )
oh, so yesterday night grace and i had a dinner party for a few friends since they're always inviting us over to their places for dinner. grace and i made some caesar salad, noodles with chicken and peanut sauce, potato and onion casserole, fried pork chops, and our special dessert/drink (diced strawberries, a scoop of orange sherbert, and a shot of vodka, topped off with sprite... it's really yummy). we made way too much food (esp. the meat!), but it was all really yummy. haha, it was a lot of fun and good just to blow off some steam. and nick is so hilarious! he totally got freaked out when they were watching the eye! but i think it was even better when we were playing those drinking games with water. chug-chug-chug!
yeah, i don't know if what i wrote makes any sense. i just want to go to sleep right now... and with those words, i bid you adieu so i can write my lab report.
p.s. oh, and people? stop asking me when i hear back from UT! for the last time, i won't find out until end of june, so stop bugging me about it! :p

things that make me go awwwwww! :
simon just rang me up! totally unexpected b/c he doesn't usually call since he's at mac, and also b/c it's in the middle of the morning (when i normally have classes). but yeah, he called b/c he had a nightmare at 2am where i was really sad, so the dear boy decided to phone me to make sure i was ok! :) i miss simon...
oh man, orgo lab report due today at 5pm... i'll get it done, but then i'm really going to have no time to do my biol 200 essay for tommorrow... i lack time management skills... speaking of which, movies i have downloaded and seen this past weekend: in the mood for love (a beautiful movie) and the eye. for those of you who haven't heard of the eye, its a chinese horror movie with an actually good plot. it's not super-scary, but they really work the suspenseful music score and ambience! :p i was watching it with grace when halfway through the movie, the subtitles went wonky and actually aired 5-10 minutes before the rest of the picture did - so for the rest of the movie, i was translating from cantonese to english/mandarin for grace, and she was filling in any blanks that i missed since she was reading the early subtitles! anyhow, i really recommend that movie (just make sure you get a good version without wonky subtitles!) next on my computer for viewing: kill bill, lost in translation, and the princess bride!
so how was the o.c. yesterday? was paris hilton a formidable actress? :p (don't tell me what happens, i'm watching it on thursday!!!)
ok, i'm done eating and slacking... back to the grind. later.

winamp 5 is great. it's got streaming internet tv and radio like the 2.9 version. so yeah, i was watching gattaca, bulletproof monk dubbed over in polish, some music videos and 50s PSA commercials about cigars! was watching "tv mcgill" just a little while ago... some guy from a band was talking about queens and saying he saw people drunk and puking at 8 in the evening - not too surprised, actually...
listening to some weezer right now (the radical dudez were playing it at clark earlier). oh man, i'm pretty wired right now... gotta go to sleep soon b/c i have an 8:30 tommorrow morning. well, grace and i got back from clark a little while ago. we really didn't know too many people besides ketan, imran, and a few of their friends, but it was still pretty fun. (well, it was fun after imran's band started playing, we started drinking - don't worry, only a drink a piece - and we started hanging out with ketan). but yeah, imran's band whiskey steve and the steves were really good! they played covers for their entire set and you could tell they were having a lot of fun. oh that imran... such stage presence... what a dreamboat! :p (can i have your babies?) there was even a throwback to the mci days - they played monster mash for their last song! (now if only they could play that calculus song...) anyhow, it was a fun night all in all, and it was good supporting "team ketan" for his trip to guyana. we're definitely going to have to hang out more before he leaves... i think we have a tentative "date" for april 3rd? thereabouts.
hmmm... i think the sleepiness is starting to kick in about now... talk to you guys later!
p.s. jeeze, felix, where were you tonight?!?!

doin' the PR thing:
if you're on campus this thursday (the 18th), be sure to swing by clark hall at around 10pm for whiskey steve and the steves' debut performance (imran's band, i believe) and a whole lotta other music. not only do you get the chance to be an imran groupie (who wants to throw panties and/or hold up signs asking him to marry me?) BUT it's also fundraising for a good cause: proceeds are going towards ketan's trip to a developing country (i forget which one...) with QPID this summer. anyway, it'll be a fun time and cover's only $4, so i expect all you queen's people to be there!!! (wait, does anyone from queen's actually read this?)
oh hey, just a question: how are all you people finding my page? in the span of these past two months, so many new people have come across my page. and who's adding me to their msn? do i know them? should i? and if i do, then how come they haven't actually messaged me so i know who they are?

was reading the A&E section of the saturday star and found an article very near and dear to my heart: signs everywhere spell out danger.
jenne came back today from salt lake city (land of the mormons) after presenting her thesis at a conference. i'm telling you, my sister's moving up in the world... i'm very proud of her! <3
ugh, i'm so full. can you believe it? for the first time in ages, i'm still totally stuffed from dinner and we had dinner at 7! i had dinner with kalam and some other friends to celebrate his 22nd (!!) birthday that just passed on the wednesday. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! we went to pizza hut - i hadn't eaten there for so many years now... sooo good... afterwards, i went home to spend so i could some time with my family and do some work, while they did this little photo scavenger hunt that kalam planned for them. they dropped by afterwards where i judged the pics... haha, they were pretty funny. i haven't sent or uploaded them yet, but i'll post some up on my site as soon as i do. oh, and in case you were wondering, the prize for the winning team ("team brandon", in this case) was autographed pictures of the one and only kalam chan!!! priceless. (oh, and some gummi bears.)
man, i miss being home. just one more month...
going to mississauga church with my parents tommorrow and we'll hopefully eat with mei? then i gotta finish up my work and head back to kingston... :(

i'm baaaaaaack!
whoa, haven't blogged in ages. anyway, i'm back from my little desperately-trying-to-study-for-my-last-set-of-midterms hiatus and ready to blog once more. :) had a midterm yesterday morning and this morning as well, so i'm pretty exhausted. actually, i stayed up all night yesterday which, combined with my mini-cold, caused me to be a little dizzy throughout the day. i was pretty screwed for today's exam since i hadn't started studying until after my psych, so i tried "staggered sleeping-studying" b/c i didn't want to be woozy all of today either (i didn't want to pass out while writing the midterm!). it was kinda modeled after da vinci's alleged sleeping habits. apparently he found time to paint, invent, and be an all-round renaissance man by only sleeping 15 minutes every four hours. crazy, eh? i opted for the "sleep an hour or two, study an hour or two" cycle.
science time: ok, i have to tell you about the coolest/weirdest thing that i saw in our biol 200 video this week. it was about fish and amphibians, and it was talking about the different egg-protecting strategies of frog. there were these frogs, a female with a male on her back, and every time a female laid an egg, they'd do this somersault so the egg would land on her back (!!) and then the male would brush the egg towards the centre of her back. once a whole bunch of eggs had been laid, the male would leave and the female's skin would start to swell, envelop the eggs, and then a protective layer of skin would actually form over the eggs until you couldn't see them anymore (but she'd look really lumpy)! once the eggs hatched, you'd see these little lumps moving around under her skin until the tadpoles finally break free through the skin to live on their own! neat, eh?
anyway, i think i'm going to finish up my lunch and then take a nap. and then maybe do some work. ugh. but on the plus side, i'll be home in toronto this weekend! yay! probably the last time before i come back to toronto for the summer. my plan: rest, eat, and do a lot of research... boo!
and various messages:
> felix: i agree, we should keep in touch. dude, why don't YOU come visit me in kingston? huh?! (sheesh, you never CALL, you never write...) and btw, i'm sorry, but summer is the best. i actually kinda like her even more than marissa, but that also could be due to the fact that mischa barton isn't exactly the best actress... (though i still want marissa and ryan together in the long run). also: what's wrong with being a ditz? :p
> care + jasy: OC parties, huh? actually, my roomie and i have decided to come up with an OC-themed party sometime this summer... it'll be complete with formal wear (though no ugly couture dresses, please), cocktails, caviar/pate/crab phyllo pastries/other fancy-schmancy appetizers, some sort of display of fisticuffs - and did i mention that it'll be on a yacht? and adam brody is so totally my date... sigh. i wish. but it would be fun to dress up and eat outrageously expensive food sometime.
> danny: thanks for the music suggestions (though i still love those old throwbacks to middle school...), any others? also, HI!
> candice: speaking of keeping in touch, we have to meet up this summer... promise? it's been too long!
> alex: did you trying the soap sculpture thing for the DAT?
> bun: ccsa senior league? too scary! (especially since our team doesn't really get too much <3 these days...)
> brandon: where have you been? what's been going on? how are you doing?
actually, if anyone wants to come visit me here in k-town, you totally should. i have too much food in the house and prolly won't be able to finish it before i leave! (my parents came up on sunday to attend service with me and then move some of my stuff back to toronto, but not before depositing an obscene amount of food in my cabinets and fridge.)

ok, so i'm checking out my hello kitty email account (it has a 25MB capacity!) when i realise that i hadn't checked out the psychological test in months. so i clicked on the link just now and you know what the quiz is about? i quote, verbatim:
Do people often tell you, "You are so fat"?
Do you want to know the reason?
HURRY UP! Finish this test.
And find the real reason behind it!
wow, that made me laugh so hard - anyway, i'm dying to know why i am so "fat", so i'm going to fill out this quiz. i'll letcha know the results in a bit. :p (and btw, you all should get hello kitty email accounts if for nothing else but the monthly psychological tests!)
...
ok, i'm back. goodness, now i'm making you guys take this test! one of the questions asked "besides breakfast, lunch, and dinner, what else do you eat?" and you know what the choices were? afternoon tea, midnight snack, and socks! SOCKS! i have no idea why! it was great!
so it turns out that i apparently eat more with other people are around. hrm, i can kinda see that. there was more stuff written about that, but since it actually made sense to me, it wasn't as much fun. BUT the second half of the results told me that if i couldn't resist the temptation of snacks, that i should just eat them as a main course! "modern people eat too much meat and fish. occasionally, eat ice cream as a meal. you will not be malnourished. cookies contain a lot of milk and eggs; it has the same nutrient content as bread. you can take it as breakfast and have the best of two worlds." now that's what i like to hear!
so brief run-down of yesterday. so yeah, it was really nice being able to sleep in due to my LACK OF CLASS! wooohooo! jess came over for a few hours to copy down some orgo notes and we just chatted the entire time she was here (well, i did valiantly try to read some psych, but to no avail). afterwards, we went to dinner with grace and rob at the epicure. once again, they were all out of chicken, but the food was still pretty good. after we ate, grace and i dropped by indigo and i took advantage of the 20% off kids' books and bought a fushigi yuigi graphic novel (vol. 1) and o.r. melling's the book of dreams (i've waited a few years for this book to come out) from the chronicles of faerie series which was the inspiration for plan c (quest for faeries). that baby was a whopping 530 pages and i read it all last night instead of my psych textbook. :s i was considering buying some more lucy maud montgomery or madeleine l'engle (a wrinkle in time, a fabulous book), but then remembering that i was trying to save money. but then again, what greater investment than books?
went to a health careers info session today - pretty interesting - and spent time with grace and her parents, since they dropped by to pick up some of her stuff. her dad's a prof at UT, so it was good getting his insight on the different bio-related career areas. from my personality, he thinks i'd be a good dentist... hrm. but i'm not sure if i'd be adept at those DAT soap sculptures! but yeah, it was good talking with him. i'm going to have much to discuss with my parents tommorrow when they drop by to bring some stuff back to toronto!!! yay, they're dropping by!!!
also, FELIX?! DANNY?! JASON?! you guys just made my day! <-- you should see my smile right now! it's nice to hear from all of you! we definitely have to keep in better touch. (but seriously, felix, anna? i mean, i don't dislike her, but there's still something in the way she talks that just irks me - her inflections or maybe that side-to-side head movement that she does)

welcome care! a friend of felix's, huh? i feel for ya... i really do... ;p (you can tell him that!)
today was a good day. here's why:
1) no labs at all, which was really nice.
2) watched the new OC today! though i must say that i'm (i can't believe i'm saying this) a little disappointed with seth these days. poor summer. :(
3) had my appointment with career services today. it was so helpful and for the first time, i'm actually kinda excited about school and the future. what my major problem was (and this answers your question, alex), was that i hadn't really felt much calling or passion about anything. or rather, anything that i felt "marketable" as a skill or career. there are a few subjects that i've been interested in, but nothing that really sparked and made me say "hey, i could really do this for the rest of my life". and that's what made it so tough - and scary - for me. b/c for the past few years of my life, i've really had no direction or drive to accomplish anything. i mean, besides the whole stigma of not being in school or working and (i suppose) my desire for respectability, i've had no goal to work towards and nothing i really cared about in those respects. but after talking with the counsellor, i've got a better idea of where my heart lies and how even the most seemingly unrelated interests can be tied to a certain aspect of the career/field. it was pretty cool - i took a bit to warm up, but once we started up on certain subjects (that i thought were unimportant), she noticed a big change in me. i was apparently more articulate, excited, talking faster (haha), and actually smiling. haha, you guys know how i get once i get excited, right? (nothing'll shut me up!) anyhow, i won't tell you what has sparked my interest yet - i've gotta do a lot of follow-up stuff first before i say anything concrete. but let me just say that i feel a little more (re)assurance and excitement now. truth be told, this has gotten me more excited than any thought of pharmacy really has. this is definitely going to be an interesting (though probably hard) time in my life. anyhow, He/His word is a "lamp onto my feet", right? so as jenne told me yesterday, we really can't see too much beyond a few steps in front of us, and i think that's how He wants it. it's more of a "trust Me" thing. b/c if we planned and knew everything that would happen to us in our lives, why would we have to trust in God? so anyway, he's guiding us down the right path and is revealing His plan as we go along... what i really pray is that i can just take this time and just trust and find joy in it.
4) finally got to have a mini-brock reunion with marco, karolina, and alanna. grace and i went over to the girls' place where we had some dinner, dessert and lots of interesting conversation. i rarely get to see any of them these days, so it was just really nice to get together and just laugh. next up, have spend time with suz, pravin, and the other brock people. maybe even meet up with keith? (psh, yeah right. apparently he's too busy getting the dean pay for his trip to montreal so he can play computer games at a "conference" or "competition" or something... only he could get away with BSing something like that and make it totally believable. the bum.)
5) just finished watching legally blonde with grace (for the billionth time!). i don't care what you guys think, it's just such a great movie... we laughed so hard... the ultimate silly chick flick - i never get sick of it! next up for grace and tiff's untaxing-on-the-brain-cells-yet-thoroughly-enjoyable-movie nights: bring it on and zoolander. such classics!
6) this day is even better with the realization that i don't have any class tommorrow since psych was cancelled! i have the entire day off - maybe i'll go shopping! (well, most likely, sleep in.) haha, now i know what it's like to be an arts student... :p
7) haha, i loved reading your responses on what i should do with my life. for those of you reading this who haven't yet commented, go read the previous post and then do it!! and have i told you how much i looooove receiving comments? even if you don't know me and only stumbled on this page by accident, by all means, leave a message!
p.s. and dude, the miracle blade thing? i'm all over it. chef tony makes cooking in the kitchen look so easy! i mean, who doesn't want a knife that can cut through a shoe like butter? but still, my top infomercials are still ron popeil's showtime rotisserie and bbq (it's totally memorised, i even know the testimonials by heart), the rocket chef (the showcase lady looks so freakishly grin-y), the thunderstick (to whip water, duh!), nads (actually, it really does taste good, i've tried it), and that spinny hair brush that looks like it really should just tangle your hair up instead of straightening and polishing it. oh! and winsor pilates! and proactiv (i heard it really does work, though). did i leave any out?
oh, and the dipped in chocolate thing? while i'm a big fan of the chocolate, it sounds a little too much like asphyxiation to me. does the chocolate harden? you know what it actually reminds me of? this old hanna-barbera cartoon called shazzan that i have at home about a genie and these two twins, chuck and nancy. do you guys remember it? it was great - they even had a flying camel named kaboobie! but i digress. anyway, there was this one bad guy that they encountered who was really cruel and greedy, and he used to dip his enemies in this huge vat of gold to make these (rather disturbing) statues. if you guys haven't seen the movie, you should come over sometime and we can watch it and my mighty mouse ("here i come to save the day!") and rainbow brite movies. ahhh, now those were cartoons!

haven't blogged in a while... i know you're all expecting something witty, intelligent and thought-provoking, so here goes:
hrm. i got nothing.
but, a big welcome to jasy and any other newly immigrated tiffanyville citizens!
oh wait! i DID dissect a shark today!!! it was so cool and squishy and sandpaper-y! actually, i think my group thought i was a little nuts b/c i was getting so excited over jabbing the internal organs and stuff... but still... it was a shark! (just think back to your fetal pig days back in high school - now don't tell me that that wasn't cool! i remember paulina and i named ours "pork chop"...) oy. my hands don't smell too appealing though, unless you're a big fan of formaldehyde and fish juices.
this is unrelated, but i just want to put this out there: my life has no direction. academically/career-wise, that is. but i'm going to career services tommorrow morning, so hopefully they'll be able to help. oh well, there are always my old high school back-up plans... (except maybe not the geneticist slant so much? ... but... but... tamahome!!!!) anyway, this was taken from my old geocities site:
********************************************************************
well, if this whole "science" thing doesn't pan through, here are a few back-up plans for my future:
plan a: operation trophy wife 1
1. live in a fabulous condo by the waterfront (with a great view of the t.o. skyline) with my best friend, mei, who will (of course) be extremely wealthy and paying 100% of the rent.
2. then the both of us will fly down to australia where we'll stay with my relatives there until i find myself a gorgeous boy (with an incredibly sexy australian accent) to marry. did i mention that he must be rich? well, he must be so i can carry out the rest of my plan.
3. with wonderful husband in tow, we will all fly back to toronto where we will reside permanently
4. somewhere between step 1 and 3 (inclusive), mei will find herself a nice boy who will treat her well -- or else i'll come after him with a baseball bat.
5. Because our husbands will be very wealthy, mei and i will be able to afford having summer homes all over europe... and anywhere else that catches our fancy.
plan b: operation trophy wife 2 (inspired by grace)
1. go to queens and find myself a nice, chinese boy
2. see steps 3 to 5 from plan a
plan c: operation travel to ireland and go on a quest for faeries (a la gwen and findabhair from the hunter's moon)
1. the title pretty much says it all
plan d: operation mooch
1. become a hobo during/after university (with my friends ebru and paulina) and spend my time throwing eggs at my now fabulously rich and successfull high school friends. added bonus: we will also drunkenly crash their weddings (because everybody knows how much eebs likes her drinks) and horribly embarrass our poor friends (by their associations with us and also the fact that we'll probably be pelting more eggs at them). if we crash the wedding reception, we might steal the emcee's mike and tell nonsensical anecdotes and perhaps a chorus or two of karaoke...
2. with a few years of hobo-ing under her belt, ebru will then leave to open a veterinary practice. after she becomes very respectable and established, paulina and i will go and beg her for jobs.
3. after working our way through the world of janitorial and secretarial jobs at ebru's vet practice, paulina and i will put our university degrees to good use and become world-renowned geneticists. at this point, my other friend erin may also join us.
4. after some vigorous research, my colleagues and i will be the first people to find and isolate the "aesthetically-pleasing gene", informally known as the "hot gene".
5. with this new found knowledge, eventually we will be able to clone ourselves several hot boys (who will all have remarkable resemblances to tamahome)
plan e: operation ron popeil
1. some point in my life, become an infomercial host. no, not the kind who are on the shopping channel, i'm talking about real infomercials! i'll be the lady that ron popeil, (inventor of the "ronco showtime rotisserie and barbecue" which you set and forget, is easy to clean, makes the best chicken and baby back ribs, and comes with a vegetable steaming tray that keeps your veggies "piping hot"), talks to. or that lady from the "rocket chef" infomercials who smiles insanely (as in extremely crazily) at the camera. oh! or i could sell "george forman grill", or the "thunderstick" which can whip water!!! we also musn't forget the many hair-removal products that are out there... "epil-stop" (where you wipe your hair off... eeew!) and "nads" (the edible hair-removal gel thingy which actually works)! as you can tell, i'm a big fan of late-night tv infomercials... i've seen them billions of times. on the same note, here's the best infomercial pitch ever (that was selling a so-called "life-like" child's doll): "It will make your child the most popular kid on the playground... it's more fun than a basketful of puppies!!!" ********************************************************************
so i'm takin' a poll: which option do you think i should pursue? tell me your thoughts in the comments section below.
