BUYERS BEWARE: WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONARE DVD GAME

A little outside of my topic range, though I guess this can fit under stuff or etc...

My family recently purchased the newest version of Who Wants To Be a Millionare DVD game and it's been a complete disaster!! The DVD seems to have configuration issues (we tried it both on a DVD player and a laptop)....and although we hoped it was just a reject it wasn't. We went back to the store and returned it for another one: same issue!!

Although the idea of it has real promise in being a great family game, it's clear to see they did not spend enough time correcting the bugs within the program. Okay, that's all I have on that.

The Apples in Stereo!!!

The Apples in Stereo "Play Tough"

...I can't help but sing and dance along to this song. Love the vibe and the singer's voice, the lady drummer and mostly the awesomeness of all the band members..

Keeping warm with the Snuggie...

I guess this could be considered a fashion blog, but I'm not sure the Snuggie really holds any true fashion value. While it may have been an honest attempt to create a more functional blanket, there is no way people should stop outside of their house in these things.

I really enjoyed the scene where everyone in the family is wearing one out to a sporting event. I couldn't stop fearing for their lives -- wearing a Snuggie is sure to make you a target for a beating!
