ode to e-commerce

e-commerce how do i love thee? let me count the ways:
sister #3 christmas and birthday (jan. 3) gift= DONE
sister #2 birthday gift (dec. 24)=DONE
aunt cathy christmas gift= DONE
jaycie christmas gift=DONE
max christmas gift=DONE

since we draw names and i drew sister #3, the only gifts i have left to get are mom and dad. i plan on creating a website for the bowling alley. i just haven’t quite figured out what on earth to put on a bowling alley website.

any ideas darling ones?

� schedule of open bowling, league bowling, etc.

� top bowlers o’ week (with profiles of course)

� bowling trivia (most rented bowling shoe size?)

� bowling tips, maybe in question submission format — “Ask Ruby” or another bowling-esque name.

� how to keep score bowling (hell if i know)

� nudie bowler pictures

er, um, or you could just stick with

the address, directions to lanes, hours, etc. that’s all i got for now.

? Online league tracking: signup, scoring, brackets, whatever

? I dig the online reservations stuff… great idea.

? The PinCam!! Set up a web cam at the end of one of the lanes.

? A virtual tour of what happens to your ball after you throw it mercilessly down the lane.

And… I’m spent.

Oooooooo, PinCam ™. I’d show up for that. Set two up, run a red filter on one, a blue on the other, pass out 3-D glasses, and you’ve got a winner!

I like the nudie bowling pictures! That’d be great!

All I can picture when I think of this is someone with a bright blue bowling shirt, jeans cuffed at the bottom, and REALLY bright bowling shoes…

Bowling fashions!

Lexicon of bowling terms and slang!

Ditto on the PinCam (I’d definitely load up that page.)

Profiles of local bowlers.

Recipes from the snack bar.

The more kitsch, the better.

Things I Want to Tell You

Someone needs to invent a bug repellent spray that not only keeps the mosquitoes away but includes some sort of anti-itch stuff to keep the bites you've already gotten from itching like crazy. [+]

Interview #2 at place I would enjoy working at went really well. I'm pretty pumped. [+]

Can I get an AMEN! This woman responds to the Jezebel Hullabaloo the way I wish I could have, had I not been blacking out with the rage. I agree that drinking a lot and having a lot of sex with different men is not feminism. It might be your lifestyle choice and a lot of fun -- go you, but it has nothing at all to do with being a feminist. I think once I simmer down a bit, I will chalk up the whole Hullabaloo to a few drunk 20something girls being stupid and naive, because, that's what 20something girls do. We've all done it, and not to get all sage woman of the earth, but something changes for women when they turn 30. I don't know what it is, I cannot define it, but other woman will agree 30 is a magical age where suddenly you seem more yourself, you think before you speak, you look back at your 20something self and realize what an idiot you were, but you still love that girl. I'm just hoping these Jezebel-girls will be so kind to their 20something selves when they look back at how absolutely foolish they were. {via fimoculous, whose comments are all men discussing the issue which makes me a little sad}. [+]

I had avoided the whole Jezebel hullabaloo until this morning when I was reading Mediation's thoughts on the nonsense. I followed his links to the Metafilter discussion and it was after watching the video there that I blacked out from sheer rage. I'm so angry I can't even write anything coherent. [+]

I just applied for a for reals job for the first time since 2000 (three fors in one sentence, go me). I feel a little like I'm going to barf. I forgot how nerve-wracking it is to want something like this. [+]

"Never mind that while he was on my ass about being in lust with a celebrity who lives in France and has two children with a French model, Greg was in love with a girl from, you know, like, down the street." Peabo cracks me up. [+]
