pet fanatics

I was looking to see if my LG DP889 DVD player (which has a memory card reader for photos) could also play some form of mpeg2 or 4 from an SD card, when I found this.

It’s understandable for people to love their pets, but isn’t it acceptable to just throw them in the trash when they expire? Sorry, I know I’m not funny.

But seriously, I’m not a huge fan of keeping people or pets around after they die; maybe I just have trouble attaching sentimental value to things. I would rather have my organs donated to people that need them, though; or let medical students examine my insides (over my dead body; yeah, another bad joke in the same post, sorry). :P

Oh, I do have one exception to keeping dead people around. It would be awesome to have my skeleton hanging around in a classroom somewhere in the world. Do they even use real skeletons in classrooms anymore?

UPDATE: My crummy glorified picture frame will not play movies off an SD card; what a piece of garbage

the most funnest time of year

I just filed my taxes on express1040.com (because I’m extremely cheap, they advertise $8.95 for combined federal and state, and I don’t qualify for free tax filing anymore). I’d highly recommend the site if you do your own taxes. Of course, an actual CPA is probably the safest choice if you worry about getting audited.
