Looks like I’ve a few errands to complete this afternoon.
Here’s your million-dollar bionic man epic tale for the day.

Someone please tell me…
Someone please tell me the difference between a woman who is treated as a trapped sexual object and a woman who is expressing her sexual freedom in a sign of feminine independence.
This past weekend I watched a couple of minutes of a stage diva marionette bouncing around with a couple of former coworkers on a platform above a football field in a technical dance routine that was as contrived a show of sexuality as any before or since.
A veritable puppet show.
The woman was praised for her performance but I, being older than the target audience, was not mesmerised.
Perhaps that is the reason I should ignore the carnival barker brouhaha surrounding the whole event and go on to the next issue at hand, especially now that only 13604 days are left.
Sluggish or slugs? 3Mbps plan for $41/month…woo-hoo!!! Poe’s Law at work in the high-tech business?

Another look back
Finally cleaned out the old trunk — adding a few more jewels to the scanned collection before saying goodbye to dead trees and colourful ink, some lined up with current events such as the Super Bowl, a Steve Jobs biopic, new release of Microsoft Office, new release of 128GB iPad and the price of coffee these days:

Emerald Isle of Ire
In Hollywood news, underground sources say that Colin Farrell and Scarlett Johansson are in secret negotiations to remake “The Quiet Man,” directed by the Farrelly brothers in an attempt to reboot their careers after the disastrous show of “Movie 43” at the box office, with costarring roles played by Colin Quinn, Conan O’Brien and Lindsay Lohan (reprising her dual roles as the twins from “The Parent Trap”); a cameo by Maureen O’Hara has not been confirmed.

The Truth-in-Advertising Marketing Campaign
Latest telemarketing trick
Lately, I noticed for a bunch of different phone numbers the same voice that said, in a generic southern California accent, “Is the lady of the house there?,” similar to the previous recording that said, “This is Rachel from cardholder services.”
I wondered how the same person could be calling the house all the time.
Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I responded with my usual “Ola. No habla inglés,” and waited to see what would happen.
The call rolled over to a telemarketer, on whom I hung up as she said, “Hello! This is Amanda and the reason I’m calling is…”
