A product came to my attention over the weekend for one reason and one reason only: the comments.

You can and should read all of the Amazon comments related to this product as a way to make you smile on this Friday, but here is an excerpt of some of my favorites.

• Best of all, when we downsize our household, we won't have to find room to store this gem ... it will be the centerpiece of our art collection, proudly displayed on the new living room wall.
• If you don't buy 11 of these the terrorists win
• This dream was finally realized with the invention of the 571B Banana Slicer, the invention that will define our century, an unmatched monument of how far we have come, and how little we have yet to go now, with the most grandest of challenges for humanity finally and most spectacularly solved. 
• As you may or may not know, I have 27 trained monkeys I use to do my evil bidding. Well, the younger monkeys teeth have not fully developed and so slicing a banana to feed them is a necessary chore. The adult monkeys used to have to chew up bananas and feed their young but not anymore with the Victorio Kitchen Products 571B Banana Slicer. The adults are going bananas over this time saving easy product. No longer so they have to taste and chew the deliciousness banana without eating it teasing them like a teenage prom date.

So please, go read some more of these comments. It will make you happy, I promise. And then tell me which ones are your favorite, k?

One more to go!

I am now home for the holidays! Fall semester is over, exams are done, research hours completed. A lot of my friends are graduating today, so congrats to them! It's so weird to think that I only have one more semester left, in my undergraduate career that is. It's not like I only have one more semester of tests, papers, finals. Not at all. 

But I don't mind. Through my thesis work this semester, I've become a bit more confident that grad school may be the right place for me. Pardon me sounding like a nerd, but I haven't minded researching & writing the literature review, developing and testing the measures, learning these foreign statistical programs. I have a lot left, and it is going to be really fast-paced. When I get back to school in January, I will have two months to write two results chapters, one discussions chapter, and one conclusions chapter. Terrifying-- yes! Especially since I will be taking a graduate-level course next semester.

But I'll get through it, yes?

At least I'll have the wedding & honeymoon to look forward to!

And for your useless product of the day, I saw this in my neighborhood:

Yes, those are eye lashes on the headlights. Why? I have no idea. They are literally called "Car Lashes" and their point is to add a feminine touch to one's vehicle. The lashes cost $25.99 and you can also get crystal eyeliner & accents. Here is the website if you are interested in checking it out: carlashes.com
