Do you like drinking tea and other hot beverages? Do you enjoy having boiling water at your ready disposal? Does the possibility of sustaining 3rd-degree burns excite you? Then I highly recommend you get yourself a cordless electric kettle. The Philips model I purchased recently has been quietly rocking my world for the past few days. Insert water, place on the heating element, flip the switch, and moments later, DING! goes the little bell, and I've got up to 10 cups of boiling water to prepare my breakfast, pour on the cat, whatever. It shuts itself off, so I'm in little danger of burning down the apartment, and now the microwave is freed for more important tasks, like conducting Peeps research. It is beautiful like a perfect love, although I've never seen nor experienced a perfect love, so maybe it is not like that at all.

And while you're out procuring one of these handy appliances, may I recommend that you pick up Maroon 5's Songs About Jane at Target, where it is on sale for under $8? I love this CD, it is funky and smooth, has a good beat, and I can sing to it. I give it a 7.99, at least.

So now you're probably thinking, "Tallulah, you've done so much for me, providing oodles of guidance and entertainment in my life, however can I repay you?" Well, you can nominate me for a Bloggie, dick*. I could win a fabulous prize, and the respect and admiration of millions/someone. Not that there aren't thousands of better blogs out there, but do it because you love me, and because of that time I saved your life back in 'Nam. I would do it for you, maybe.
