This movie trailer that I just saw looks pretty awesome. The idea of filming audience reactions is ingenious, though this might mean that there isn't enough movie to properly make a trailer of, but the Blair Witch style movie is refreshing and I'm totally looking forward to watching it. It's a limited release, but hopefully someone will post it on the internet. Otherwise I'll have to wait for the DVD to come out.

That is the scientific name for "brain freeze." I'd sound so cool if I say that the next time I drink a Slurpee, but the problem is...I don't know how to pronounce it.

June 25th 2009. Farrah Fawcett (an original Charlie's Angel) dies of anal cancer at the age of 62. Later that day, Michael Jackson from cardiac arrest at the age of 50.

Farrah's probably thinking, "Come on! The one day I die, Michael Jackson has to die too!"

And today, 3 days later, Billy Mays dies of a blood clot (I think).

I found out about MJ's and Billy Mays' deaths on twitter...sadly.

With all these deaths, the world has forgotten about the huge revolution in Iran. The phrase "Iran, the whole world is watching" should now be, "Iran, the whole world is watching MJ music videos and OxyClean infomercials."

So some people know that I like to shop at Target. Not because I think that i'm above Wal-Mart shoppers. I actually like Wal-Mart. When it comes to prices, Wal-Mart definately is cheaper. Expecially when it comes to food. But why does a cheapskate like me shop at Target? Because of its clearance items.

Target always has items on clearance. They are usually located in the back of the isles. The end caps to be precise.

There's usually clearance items on basically everything in the store. Clearance items don't necessarily mean that the items are bad or expired, they usually mean that they are items that Target has decided not to sell anymore so they need to get rid of all remaining items quick. Seasonal items like school supples and holiday products usually go on clearance immediately after the holiday.

The clearance percentages usually goes like this.

15, 30, 50, then 75% off.

They usually adjust the clearance percentage every 1-2 weeks. Once an item gets to 50% off, it's almost always bought by someone, so if you're a loser like me, you find the clearance item you'd like when it's 30% off, hide it somewhere in the store, and come back in a month and it should be 75% off. You can check the price using the self price check scanner Target has all over the store. Though if you wait too long, I just learned this today, but if you hide your clearance items for too long then the price when you scan them will be $0.00 which is great but when you go and actually try to buy them, the register computer tells the employee to enter the price of the product since it can't find one itself. And then employee will just enter the price displayed on the clearance sticker when you first decided to hide it.

I know I know that hiding clearance items is totally frowned upon, hopefully not illegal, but it does save you money. Paying $5 for a video game or $1.50 for 12 AA batteries is always a good feeling.

Here's a website for a more detailed explanation.

So to recap:
1. Shop Target's clearance items.
2. Find the items you want.
3. Hide them under shelves or behind rarely bought items.
4. Come back in a couple of weeks and find you hidden treasures.
5. Buy them at a steep discount.
6. Be happy.

I was in a Super Target and I noticed this interesting drink. It's called Borba Skin Balance Water. What's weird about it is that the water claims to help your skin. Like skin firming and moisturizing. So if you drink it all the time, you'll look younger. There are 4 flavors. Each with their own skin benefit.

Age-defying with Acai
Firming with Guanabana
Replenishing with Lychee
Clarifying with Pomegranate

These drinks say that they are 0 calories, no carbs, no preservatives, no sodium no sugar, and no aspartame. I drink the Lychee one (because lychee is my favorite fruit) and it was kinda sweet. I have no idea how they made it sweet without aspartame or suger, but it wasn't bad. If I could get a life time supply of the stuff, I'd be happy. It cost me like $2.30 for one 20oz bottle, but if you stumble upon the drink, try it out. You might like it and your skin might like it too.

Here's the link to the Borba Skin Balance Waters website.

And here's a link to the Borba official website.

The website I, Rearrangement Servant, basically finds anagrams of any words you want to find anagrams for. I typed in my name, "Mason Wang," and here are some of the better results that I got.

Wanna Smog

Wagons Man
A Nags Mown
A Mans Gown
Nag Mans Ow

No Swag Man <--- I like this one.

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words. I'd be scared too if I had to spell this at a spelling bee.

These two ads released by Microsoft recently are about nothing. Kinda like Seinfeld's old show. And that's what's so great about them. People complain about these ads and say how much they suck, but when you think about it, these people are actually complaining about ads that aren't trying to sell them something. They are so used to commercials bombarding them with things to buy that when a commercial comes out that just wants to be a nice little comedic skit, people get confused. I think it's nice. Relax on the consumerism and sit back and enjoy it as a deleted scene from an episode of Seinfeld.
