Rent



For any of you who were interested in what is inside the RedBox kiosk, here is a picture of one being maintained in my local grocery store. Looks like about what you'd imagine. A carousel-style distribution, reminiscent of the old overpriced music CD jukeboxes.

A friend mentioned insideredbox.com. This site has RedBox free rental codes, amongst other useful Redbox tools.

Who needs the Kwik E Mart? I dooooooo...

I was perusing one of my favorite sites X-Entertainment yesterday, and noticed this article, which led me to this article, and thusly this article. WooT, we have our very own Kwik E Mart in (near) Las Vegas. I ran down there this morning and here are some pictures.
(Here are some much better pictures taken with a better camera by someone with more patience than I).



As I drove in, there was an employee in Apu clothing loading and moving cases of Krusty-Os on a hand-truck. Inside, I took a few pictures and talked to a few people. The shelf that had a sign that said 'These things won't be gone until you buy them' was empty. The cashier, who seemed to be into the whole theme, had changed his 'Joe' name tag to say 'Moe'. An employee who seemed like the manager helped me get a box of Krusty-Os straight from the newly arrived case, and told me that the Simpsons stuff was leaving the shelf faster than they could stack it. The building will be dressed in this theme until Aug 7th, soon after the movie comes out (July 27th).




On a side note, it does happen to be 07/07/07 which equals 777 to some people. Since that's such a lucky arrangement of numbers, today is going to be a huge wedding day in Las Vegas.
Here's hoping those marriages beat the odds of actually getting 777 on a slot machine here.

on the lamb with mint jelly

I am spending some time with the family for Easter. Got to do a little fishing and went to a wedding of a good friend of mine.



Got to see Grindhouse last night in ATL with some free early-release premier passes that my brother scored. The movies are about what I expected, action-packed and gory with big budget nonsense. (That is not me in the picture).

Hand is feeling stronger, but the wires poke a little. Only one more week to go before I crack this burrito and have the wires pulled out. Going to have to pass on a visit to Six Flags because I don't want to get them wires at their resonant frequency and possibly blow my hand apart.
