Aussie Dave Warner
I'm not sure where the appeal lies when it comes to steel buildings, particularly in summer. Have you ever heard the expression "...like a cat on a hot tin roof"? Anyway, the only place that needs to be made of steel is any cricket ground Aussie Dave Warner is batting at.
His 89 off 40 odd balls last night was a gem of an innings, with one of his sixes of South African Dale Steyn the shot of the match in my opinion. If you missed it, here it is.
Leaving Las Vegas
I was never a huge fan of the TV series Las Vegas, to me it was just another drama with attractive people running around looking nice. I could tune in occasionally, but wasn't fussed if I missed it. It's sole saving grace was that it featured James Caan. When he left at the end of Season 4, replaced by Tom Selleck, it was fairly clear to me that Las Vegas was living on borrowed time.
I guess that's why I'm not surprised that Season 5 will be the last for las vegas.
Weight loss theory
I read in the newspaper recently that early January is the peak time for gyms, with the theory being that one of the most common new year resolutions is to lose weight and/or get fit. I'm guessing then that February/March is the peak sales period for diet pills and weight loss products, as those that start working out in January realise that it is going to be a lot of hard work! If we start seeing an increase in the number of ads for diet pills in February/March, my theory may be on the money.
Speaking of weight loss ads, here's an entertaining little ad for Weight Watchers.
Weight Loss Lip Gloss
When looking into weight loss products you'll no doubt come across your fair share of nutty remedies and quick fix cures. I have to say though, that one of the stupidest sounding weigh loss products I've seen is Weight Loss Lip Gloss, as seen in the NYDailyNews.com.
WEIGHT-LOSS LIP GLOSS: A second on the lips, a lifetime on the hips? No more! Too Faced Fuze Slenderize lip gloss ($18.50 at www.sephora.com) promises to help shed pounds while plumping your pout. The guilt-free gloss is infused with chromium and L-carnitine, believed to curb cravings and boost energy.
So all I need to do to lose weight is apply some lip gloss? Really? Wow, sounds almost too good to be true...
I guess you get what you pay for
I guess I'm like most people when I say that where ever possible, I like to save myself a buck. This personal policy has extended to the purchase of furniture. Now, without a doubt there is some good quality discount furniture available. My problem is I don't always have the patience to do the research. My last discount furniture purchase was a kit, put it together yourself, coffee table. The idea was good in theory, until I got it together and found that if I placed a marble on the edge of the table it would always roll to the centre. Yup, sometimes I guess you get what you pay for.
