Jeremy's Sametime Status Proudly Presents: Jeremy's Non-Shopping List! Item #1: Movies
It's officially the Holiday Season! Time to set up the tree, string up the lights, get plowed on egg nog, empty a chemical toilet into a storm sewer, and listen to Every Washed-Up Has-Been Come Out With A Christmas CD. Of course, it's also time to go completely bat crap over what gifts you're going to buy everyone on your list. Here at Jeremy Is In The Office, we strive to make things easier for you, the gift-giving public. It's also a wonderful chance to suck up for good swag.
One of the biggest complaints I get from my adoring fanbase...
Both of them...
...is that I tend to buy myself all the stuff I need and/or want. This leaves little wiggle room for generous donors, and the constant questions of, "Gee....does he have one of these yet?" To alleviate these concerns, this week will be chock full of stuff I will NOT be shopping for this upcoming holiday season.
First on the list: Movies.
27 Dresses, here we come!
Specifically, good movies. A lot of them came out this summer, and I've talked at length about several of them. Those will all be coming out On DVD before Christmas in an attempt to get you to spend your hard-earned gift-giving money on them. Let it work! In order to avoid any confusion, I will NOT be buying myself any movies between now and Dec 25th.

Happy Slapsgiving, Everybody!
Less Yappin, more Slappin!
So, you obviously watched the Slapsgiving Day II episode of How I Met Your Mother last night. Seems fitting to celebrate the holiday.
What better way to spend the holidays than slapping people? Seems like a good idea to me!
Anyway...sorry for the short Blag post today, but it's my last day before heading out for Thanksgiving. Happy Turkey Day, everybody and safe travels!
Jeremy Is In The Office will be out of the office starting tomorrow and returning monday, 11/30 with more blaggy goodness, and we're told a fun and exciting Theme Week! See you next week, everyone!

Thanks to you, too!
I'm Thankful for Sametime!
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! If you're going to be posting a list of stuff you're thankful for, might I suggest a Theme Week?
I thought about that...but since it's going to be a short week (Will only have Sametime Status updates monday and Tuesday this week) I decided not to have a 2-day Theme Week.
To make up for that, I'll be running a Theme Week next week after everyone gets back from vacation and recovers from the turkey hangover. It's going to be a fun and informative community service...of sorts.
Ooo! What is it? Will there be prizes?
We'll all find out together next week. And there may be prizes...for me.
Your Theme Weeks get worse and worse. Remember that time you had people wad up paper and throw it at each other, and called it a prize?
Everybody loved Virtual Snowball Fight!

6 or 7, Depending
How many wolves are in your Wolfpack?
Oh man...since they're not actually "wolves" you're turning this into a rhetorical question and making another friggin' Rhetorical Friday, aren't you?
Actually hadn't thought of that. This weekend is the world debut of our new volleyball team called "Wolfpack". It's a reference to The Hangover.
Uhm...okay. Forget I mentioned it.
Happy Rhetorical Friday, everyone!
Dammit!

That was a horrible song
I find it ironic that everything I bought at Target yesterday was blue
It's not ironic, it's just coincidental!
It could be both. Target is known for the color red. Their logo is red, the bulk of the inside of their stores are red, the floors are red...and the only things they sold yesterday that were worth buying were blue.
Did you feel sad about buying that stuff? Is that why it was blue?
It wasn't all that exciting, I'll grant you that. Nothing worth being sad over. Maybe next time I'm in a store, I'll look for shiny things.

Frustration is apparently fun
I never thought Slinky was all that wonderful
I'm pretty sure the "It's fun, it's a wonderful toy" lyrics were more along the lines of "Makes a great gift." It's a tag line to get you excited about the thing
Certainly the case, but it's a poor choice of words. You look at a Slinky, and there's not all that much to wonder about it. It's a metal spring. Sure, it can walk down the stairs alone or in pairs...but you don't really wonder how it does it. It's simple physics. You can also use a Slinky to illustrates some of the more complex laws of wave physics...but again, there's not a lot of wonderment going on. It's science!
You may actually spend more time wondering why the stupid thing DOESN'T go down the stairs the way it does in the commercials. I swear, those people have some really narrow stairs or something. The more accurate lyric in the song is when they say it's a marvelous thing. You truly do marvel at how quickly people can fly off the handle when the slinky doesn't work.
Are you going to go play with your Slinky now?
Probably.

You can see stuff up close
Free Scanning Electron Micrograph images! Cool!
Wow...that's usually a pretty expensive and time consuming thing. Who's providing this service?
Free SEM's are coming to you courtesy of the fine folks at Aspex Corporation who are inviting everyone to send them your stuff so they can look at it under an ultra-powerful desktop SEM. People have sent in moldy sandwiches, cheese, plywood...all sorts of fun things to look at under a microscope. And why? Because they can!
What would YOU like to see under a SEM?
