Ponderings 1/29/12

1. With the ease of saving phone numbers on cell phones, most of us don't memorize phone numbers anymore. As a result if you ever lose your phone you don't know how to contact people. Everybody should pick a "Fav 5", their 5 most called contacts, and memorize those numbers.

1B. Don't reveal this "Fav 5" to others.

2.  I wish there was a way of keeping the onion inside of the onion ring after you take the first bite.

3. Dominos charging extra for dipping sauce with their cheesy bread is unacceptable.

4. Now that the probowl is before the superbowl, seeing your favorite players play is disappointing and frustrating.
4B. Watching the probowl also makes me extremely jealous of the weather in Hawaii.


5. ESPN needs a new feature called "Hide game". The feature would allow you to hide a game or match so you would be able to browse ESPN without worrying about seeing the outcome of a game you couldn't watch live.

6. It is usually not a smart idea to tell movie directors that your favorite movies are the Rush Hour and Home Alone series. Unless they think you are joking.

1. Why are addresses on houses and stores so small? Every time you are driving to a new place you need to confirm the address is correct and when you look to see the address you can never see it.

2. Halfway through my subscription for ESPN magazine I started getting issues warning me that my subscription was going to end soon. Then ESPN started sending magazines saying "This is your last issue". Now I have no clue when my subscription actually ends.

3. I really want to star in one of those "Shit people say videos" but every type of person I talk too already has a video. Let me know if you have ideas.

4. It is a little embarrassing to know that the following articles were read by most of my friends on Washington Post Social Reader. This is also why I don't share what I read.
A. "Why are smart people usually ugly"
B. "Shilpa's Dress causes international stir"


5. Watching your favorite teams play sports is incredibly draining. After the 49er playoff games these last 2 weeks I have been completely exhausted after the end of the games.
5B. To increase home field noise and fan participation stadiums should be allowed to put speakers around the stadium that are hooked up to local bars.

1. You know it is going to be a long international flight when the person sitting in the aisle seat has ear plugs and a eye cover (eye mask) on.

2. I don't understand why the US cannot build Metro systems like other countries.

3. Airports should introduce a bar code system for baggage so that when people exit the airport they make sure they are taking their own bags.

4. Apparently most airlines don't do anything special for passengers on New Years.

5. Don't try to rent costumes from a costume store in India.

6. With so many back to back games in the NBA this season, many teams are giving up and resting the starters if they get down early in the games. I would have preferred less games that were more competitive.

7. It is not a good idea to keep your phone off for 3 days when people expect you to have your phone on.

8. When you are sick it would be great if there was something you could put on your tongue to get your normal taste buds back.

9. Celebrating New Years at a place with many clocks that are all at different times is very confusing and frustrating.

10.  The problem with the NFL playoffs is that I can't sleep or get anything done in anticipation for the next 49er game.
