I’ve always been interested in how much electricity I’ve been using, and where I’ve been wasting it. Yes, I can look at my electricity bill every month, but I wanted more. So, I bought the Kill A Watt (get it?!)

Basically, you plug this device into a standard 3 prong socket, and plug in other devices into that. It shows you current voltage draw, amperage, but best of all, kilowatts! There’s also a timer, as well as a kw/H meter so you can see EXACTLY how much juice you’re using for any period of time.

It just came in today, and with a few hours of use under my belt, here’s what I found.

Because the world outside my door is a frightening place full of things like “The Sun,” and “Fresh Air.”

There’s this show called Bleach which is apparently all the rage these days… anyone (else) know it?

I’ve got a huge scratch on one of my supposedly scratch-proof lenses and the bridge is getting bendy in that way that metal gets bendy when it’s just about had it. I need new glasses. I just bought this pair maybe two years ago and they cost me $160. Apparently, this should not be so. So what’s a nerd to do?

Buy glasses online. As the title of the article states, decent eye glasses can be had for $40 or lower if one is willing to take the proper measurements and precautions. I need to find a new optometrist to make sure my prescription is up to date and get my pupil distance while I’m at it and I hope to buy possibly a coupla pairs—you know, so I can mix and match like the fashionista I so desperately want to be.

i was watching TV and an ad for this star wars thing came on. I bet you nerds (strike out)* guys would love to go to. here is the link. http://www2.fi.edu/exhibits/traveling/starwars/ *= I don’t know how to do strike out and I hate star wars.
