Stuff, Things, etc.: 5 on Friday

True Blood spoilers ahead. Proceed with caution.

1. I taught a Turbokick class on Tuesday. I made $12.

Cheat-sheets

No one gets into fitness instruction for the money anyway. Oh well. I got experience and a free workout.

2. I found myself purse shopping. Tsk, tsk. We'll let this one be a surprise for next week...

They're so nice. They even say thank you after they take my money...

And then I got this and thought, "Crap, did I order more than one?"

3. Scott broke down a couple of months ago and bought a smart phone. His first. When we were watching Shark Week the other night, he said, "Did you see the Snuffy the Seal commercial?". When I said no, he pulled out his fancy-schmancy Samsung Odyssey to show me on YouTube. This is the same husband who made fun of me for falling into the iPhone trap two years ago. The man who swore he'd never have a computer-like phone. Now he day-trades on that thing. Oh, how times have changed.

Here's the commercial, in case you haven't had a laugh today.

4. What do you think of True Blood this season? It's kind of failed to impress me. But by this point, I am so stupidly addicted to the cast that I can't stop caring. But I don't like the way they keep introducing "nobody" characters. Like that vampire who decided to call Jason hers. Who is she? And why do we care? The last new character of any significance was Norah. And we all know what happened there...

For example, this is my current gripe:

"Jason is now some vampire lady's bitch. This will probably be important later, but not now. For now it is just IMPORTANT FILLER, for future plot twists. Also, Terry died and those fairy girls died too — so by True Blood law, new characters must be introduced ASAP. The cast list must not dip below 2,788."
