Yuma

It's one of those days we've decided to go for a road trip. We've had our eyes set out to Arizona and made plans a week ahead. We wanted to go further than Yuma, but the next best and closest place is Sonoma which is five hours away on a straight drive. But with Anna in her queasy first trimester on a long drive plus the heatwave, is probably not a good idea. So I scratched Sonoma.


Trips such as this should be well planned and organized. That's according to my wife. Not me. I'd rather have everyone hop in and just go for the long ride. About to venture the unknown. On the contrary, Anna hates it whenever I'm in the mood for this sort of spontaneity. But we still go, nonetheless.


Anyways, what's there to see in Yuma? There's the occasional small towns with narrow roads. On the way was nothing really interesting. Some greens but really, hardly any vegetation. Occasional mountain ranges and a LOT of barren desert wasteland on the outskirts of the city.


So why go there? Because, it's Arizona. Another state. Closest to San Diego. Why not?

Now on 3d

I told myself ever since not to jump to any bandwagon nor follow whatever is the latest trend. But yesterday I caved in.

It started two weeks ago, and I have to blame, when I saw an article in Yahoo. It says now is the right time to purchase a new TV since retailers are liquidating last years inventory.


And I had to weigh in all the factors:

1. Everything online must be real/true? Right?
2. Our newest tv is 2 years old.
3. Trend. That means now.
4. Me? I'm a consumer. So that means they're telling me to buy.
5. Movie that pops out of your tv while wearing glasses. Implying that you're a geek. And that's m. Again.


Pretty convincing. Take our good earned money you lousy electronics retail giant. Yep, that's you Bestbuy. And I won't be coming back............ Until I decide that we need another one.
