Million Dollar Ebay Purchase

Sorry Snarc and I haven’t been here much lately.  We both finally moved in at Northwestern, and I have personally been drunk four times in the last three days.

But another topic of discussion has been my friends buying televisions.  Last night Ben and I were looking online for TVs and started looking on ebay at some point.  While searching for television we stumbled across some guy trying to sell the domain name www.cablenetworktv.com or .net or .tv for over $2million.  ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!  $2,000,000?!?!?

How many people do you think are shopping around ebay and decide that they are willing to spend $2m?  This guy also says he’ll accept a ‘best offer’ but it has to be at least seven digits.  I think I’m going to bid like $10 maybe. 

I encourage you all to do something like that too; here’s the link:

Conan > Ferguson

Ok so I’m sitting here watching the late shows, after Letterman/Leno of course. All I can think about is what I’m going to do when Conan O’Brien goes to commercial.  I could change channels and watch the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, until I realize that Craig Ferguson boring.  So boring that I may rather watch paint dry than watch his show.

I think the only funny thing about Ferguson is that he speaks in a British accent.  It’s not even like he has a funny accent either, it’s just pathetic watching him attempt to make a joke, only to end up just speaking in British and trying to smile while his audience weakly responds to the “Applause” sign flashing violently.

Ahh, such is the life of a young man looking for intellectual stimulation while only being able to see 7 network channels.  Yeah, I don’t have cable, but that’s probably a good thing, and I hope to raise my children without cable – but that’s another story.

Because of this absolute lack of humor, save Conan O’Brien, I started reading Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, which has been really good so far.  You should all read it.
