Weekend shopping foray update

I got a few of the things I posted about earlier in the weekend.  I got the boots and the printer.  However, the printer is actually a little better than the one below, because it’s a photo-printer.  It’s still HP, so that’s good.  And the best part about it all, Ash’s parents bought it all.  They didn’t have to, of course, but they did, which was amazing.  I had no idea they were going to buy my boots, so that was a great surprise.  I had been told they would buy the printer, but that was still awesome.

Here’s the printer.
So, in addition to Nordstrom’s (boots) and Best Buy (printer), we also went to The Home Depot and got our VERY FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE!  YEAYAYAY!  … yup.  It’s 4′-6″ tall, and it has lights already on it, for the lazy American in all of us.  Now all we need is Thanksgiving to come and go, and then the four weeks after that, and some ornaments, presents, and SNOW, and we’ll have CHRISTMAS 2008!!!  I think I might make t-shirts.

This is the closest thing to the tree we bought I could find on homedepot.com.
If anybody has any ornament ideas, let me know.

Happy Toilet Day!!!

I just want to wish everyone a Happy Toilet Day.  If you haven’t already kissed your porcelain throne, please go do so now.  I’ll give you time. … … … ..

Okay, seriously, this holiday exists for a reason: and that reason…is unknown to me. But I’m sure somebody cares somewhere about this day.  And for that reason, I have this blog-post.

Below are some links and pictures of/about/? toilets to help you enjoy this special day.  Happy pooping!

No clue, but it looks kind of fun.


No clue, and doesn’t look fun. But after wanting some clue as to what the H-bomb this is all about, I investigated.  So enjoy finding out here. 

Y’know…I don’t know.  Looks like…some kind of peeping Quagmire thing.




Now, “the chairman of the organizing committee of the Inaugural General Assembly of the World Toilet Association” (I guess that’s his title), is building (has built, by now, maybe) a giant toilet house.  You can see the article and the pictures here, but here’s a taste, below.

Here are some links that might help you better enjoy this day:

And here’s a little blurb about the day if you don’t feel like clicking anything else.

World Toilet Day
19 November was declared ‘World Toilet Day’ in 2001 by 17 toilet associations around the world. Since then there has been established an annual World Toilet Summit and many other regional conferences. Each toilet association has also engaged in many activities promoting clean toilets in their own respective country.
Since 2001, World Toilet Day has become a global platform for academics, sanitation experts, toilet designers, environmentalists etc. to share the latest on rural and urban toilets. The World Toilet Organisation asks each individual, in their respective country, to request better equality (more facilities for women); more accessibility & special provisions (for the disabled & mothers with babies); clean toilets (for everyone); and more toilets (for the less fortunate).
About World Toilet Organisation (www.worldtoilet.org)
