So flipping channels tonight I came across an ad for this:
what I THOUGHT was a Saturday Night Live sketch was actually... Not.
Really? I am dismayed that this ...line... of products actually exists.
I suppose even SNL couldn't make this up...
ETA: This has not been a good week for my utilities... First no heat (circulator pump was broken - seems to happen once a season - guy (or gal) comes and fixes it in about an hour and a half), then no power. Thankfully, the power was only out for a couple of hours tonight, but, really, what the hell? (I'm guessing wind related? We're having quite the rainstorm here, and the wind is pretty high) And I discovered anew that I can *really* hear the Mass Pike traffic from here when the sheer noise of power/technology is gone. Is there anything more silent (and slightly chilly) than a power-dead house?
Also, boring. Really very boring. Packing by candlelight is a new one for me, though. So if I look like a color-blind drunk dressed me while in California, well, it was dark!
...and because the power was out, and my computer was off so I didn't actually get the alert, I just realized I missed a meeting! *headdesk* SORRY!!! Had my phone had a full charge (it didn't) I might have been able to sign in and attend, but, no power, no WiFi for the laptop. :(
