the mini-fridge and why the world is corrupt

when the ups person came to the station on monday there was a special delivery for me. since childhood i just love getting mail. even as grown-up i still get excited when i go to the box... there just might be something besides bills... like a new rolling stone or quadratec catalog. anyway, there's the package and its pretty big and i had no idea it was coming and i was just excited. so i open it and there's this little mini fridge with "do not disturb" and "FOX" printed on the front of it. I get to inspecting it and its filled with little cans of m&m's, almonds, red bull, pringles and a tiny little sewing kit. its for the new series about a hotel or something. there was screener copy of the first episode. cool. and the fridge even works! and it makes things cold! or warm if you choose that setting. anyway, i haven't even heard of the show or watched the first episode or even a trailer for it. i've just recieved this very awesome promo item... i've seen a lot of promo stuff in the last 6 years... lots of t-shirts, stickers, even a welcome mat... but never anything like this. so the next day sally is on the air and she starts talking about the new series and how it will probably be dumb. i freak. start waving my arms. mouthing to her not to talk bad about it. i instantly feel like an idiot. i have succomed to the power of gifts and its just a mini fridge. wow, no wonder the politicians feel obligated to big oil.

it does make things very cold.
