Lowes is having a promotion were you retweet on Twitter to "grow" virtual plants. When you get 50 points you get a $10 giftcard.

Promotion page: plantatweet.com

My Twitter name: qberto

Retweet my tweet that has the hashtag #plantatweet to help me grow my plant and tell me if you have a plant so I can help yours grow too.

C'mon, it will be fun!

This is crazy to me..

The band The Morning Benders have changed their name to POP ETC

..because the word bender is slang for homosexual in the UK.


POP ETC - what a dull choice for a band's replacement name

I figure all the Secret Santa blogs are starting to blur together by now, so I'm adding a twist to mine.

First, a mighty THANK YOU to my Secret Santa - Outlaw01 aka Robert
You picked some great stuff for my gift package and I love it all! I won't say more about the gifts now because...

I don't spend much time on YouTube but I just recently discovered youtuber charlieissocoollike and I can't stop watching his videos.



I find them so entertaining!! I think it is his British accent, the geek-boy things he chooses to talk about and his overall likableness that has me hooked.

Any suggestions on who else I might enjoy watching?

For whatever reason, I was just remembering some TV programming that they had us watch way back in elementary school. Did you watch any educational shows in your school?

When I am feeling down and am desperately in need of a good laugh, I will use this list of blogs to tickle my funny bone again.
In no particular order:

At LULU.com I just noticed that there is a new Threadless Alumni coloring book!! Has there been an announcement about this in the forums already?
Who knows what's going on?!

My Secret Santa is radiostaticstar! He sent me this great Lego Architecture Empire State Building.

The weird thing is, just a few days before I got this package in the mail I had seen an ad online for these Lego Architecture kits. I had just been checking out the selections at some random website.
When I got this package from Amazon I first thought: What is this? I didn't order anything from Amazon, did I? When I opened it, I was more confused. Did I order this accidentally? I was just looking at this online but I don't remember buying it!
Then I saw the note that said it was from my Secret Santa and I was all WooHooo!!!!

Whoa!!! I got another package in the mail this week from my Secret Santa! Christmas in October, hooray!


So much good stuff in one box and nothing leaked or broke.


Idaho Spud candy has nothing to do with potatoes!?


Food, glorious food. Pancake mix, Blackberry syrup, Banana pepper rings, Salsa ingredients. Can't wait to try them all!


A growable snake. Yes!
