I went over to a friends house last night. He called me over to check out his Nintendo Wii that he got for Christmas. Well, technically he bought it for his kids but any gadget over $249 that parents buy for their kids is quickly joint owned.
Seeing the Wii in person for the first time, aside from bringing tears to my eyes, made me think of all of the people that had been destroying expensive household items when the controller flew out of their hand. Naturally, I had to examine the controller for myself. The strap that attaches to the controller is ridiculously thin. I have seen dental floss that was thicker than this strap. I asked my friend if I could try flossing with the strap but he wouldn’t let me. Read more…

So, OCD readers … Seasons Greetings from the staff (of two) at the OCD … that is me, Will and Editrix Esther. I hope you all got everything you wanted (and some things you needed) for Hannukah. And even if you aren’t Jewish, just pretend.
Last night was a momentous occasion for the OC. I mean, it made me so filled with joy that I decided to treat you all with a Madonna-referenced title. Kevin Sorbo, a.k.a. Hercules, turned out to be Ryan’s long-lost, dead-beat dad! (I wonder if he has Herculean powers and a little blond sidekick like he did in the series.) Not to mention the fact that he’s just as seedy and cool as his character was in the show Hercules: The Legendary Journey and in his cameos on Xena: Warrior Princess. Read more…
When we got to the place last Sunday, it was already packed. The crowd spilled out onto the street and you could practically smell the anticipation in the air. Some starry-eyed people were already clutching glossy commemorative merchandise; you could tell that a lot of them were going to sing along tonight. My friends and I fought our way through the packed lobby and barely made it inside before the thousands of fans started whooping and cheering, signaling that the show had begun.
I wasn’t at a rock concert, though. I was at a movie. But this was no ordinary movie: this was Dreamgirls.
On Christmas when I was little, I would have my mom buy like $5 gifts for everyone, including herself. She couldnt look at them but she bought them. Now, her sister and family are here this year and are saying, do you make money? Then, that’s your answer to the question: Should you get gifts? Some agreee that the family will give a present as a whole, but others disagree saying children should get in the habit of giving presents. Personally I think both are good The excitement of watching someone open a Christmas present you got them does balance out the no worries of fretting last minute. For example, my brother hasnt done any of his Christmas shopping whereas i am stuck on two people, because I dont know them well enough. What does everyone say?
