America’s next top model

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 30, 2007

I am not a regular viewer of America’s Next Top Model because the phony world of modeling isn’t something I identify with much. I did just watch the show though on replay because it was the best available option on Sunday night. ABC has gone with an all drama lineup that promises to take things to [...]

Recycle your old cell phone

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 30, 2007

I think everyone is aware of the fact that a lot of the modern convieniences we enjoy today are really bad for the planet. I don’t think anyone had any idea what we were destroying when industrialization took hold and we kept finding better ways to live and do things through technology. We just accepted [...]

Best New Salads I’ve had in a while…

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 28, 2007

I just wanted to say that Pot Belly Sandwich Works has great salads. I tried the Chicken Salad Salad this monday and it was so amazing I got it again today. It’s really great because of 2 things. 1 is the fat free balsalmic vinagrette salad dressing. It’s got that sweet vinegar punch I like [...]

Car Shopping? Why do people buy?

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 28, 2007

Why do people choose the cars that they do? I always wondered how people came to completley different conclusions about what car to buy than I did. And how some people value different brands completley differently. There is a new report out today that sheds some light on why people make those decisions that they [...]

Puerto Rico Trip

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 28, 2007

One of my good friends is from Puerto Rico and travels there every year. He has always told great stories about going back to meet family and relatives and how interesting and different their life is there. Another one of my friends likes to get away to Puerto Rico for a little R&R every summer. [...]

Big Shots

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 28, 2007

I watched Big Shots on TV last night (ABC) and I was pleasantly suprised. I thought it was a funny way to turn the tables on men in the same relationship type drama that women usually have. I don’t know who the 4th guy is, the blonde one I don’t recognize from anywhere before. It [...]

Save money around your home

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 27, 2007

I got this in an email today and wanted to share it with all of you. I think these are some good tips. I previously blogged about saving money and spending wiser a few months ago. It is a topic I am paying more attention to since I am trying to build up some more savings so I can buy a better place [...]

TV Premier Week update

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 27, 2007

I promised to review some of the new TV shows I have been able to catch this week on TV. I don’t have cable, so free TV is it for me. This stuff is what I have as an option or I am stuck with Netflix and the Internet. But then again sometimes my cat [...]

SafeSax is what?

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 26, 2007

Hah! Safesax it’s a site that sells bags and accessories that promote the rules of Safe Sex. How interesting is that name for a site. What will I come across next? It is never moring scouring the internet… Check them out though for some entertaining stuff (made of condoms!!) and a wothwhile cause. As someone personally [...]

Fight WalMart Killing America

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 26, 2007

I am pretty anti-walmart. I never shop there, and the few times I have been there I have been pretty dissapointed in the store. But what is more dissapointing is how they hurt the American Economy by putting small businesses out of business, killing the economy in small towns, underpaying and underinsuring their workers while [...]

Bitch Magazine – New pop culture read

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 26, 2007

My friend Meg recommended Bitch Magazine as a good entertaining somewhat thoughtful and very angsty read. I have not subscribed yet, but I am curious about it. The thing is it has “feminism” written all over it.  And I am not a feminist. I am an equalist. So yes, I can be a bitch, but I [...]

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 25, 2007

I love all the cool sites that come up every day. Things were so boring before the internet. Here is a great site I was sent today by someone that has free language lessons on it. You can learn any one of several foregin languages, and they’re not all even taught from english. They have [...]
