1. Storage containers: Organization is a thumbs up for me. Magazine holders are freaking amazing. I spent an hour yesterday decorating a bunch I'd bought and now I keep looking in my closet to see how organized it looks.
2. The Gopher Pick-Up and Reach Tool: As a short, and therefore disabled person, I find it difficult to pick up things on higher shelves. For instance, I have to climb on to my counter in order to retrieve my dinosaur mug from the top shelf. If I had The Gopher Pick-Up and Reach Tool, I wouldn't have to do this. I wouldn't have to do a lot of things, actually, like move from where I'm sitting to grab the DVD remote or flip the light switch. I could pick up my clothes while laying on my bed. I could freaking turn on the ceiling fan from my bed! I think I need to invest the $9.99 and get one.
3. Seashell-covered bird statue: A decoration well-worth $2 at the TJMaxx clearance table. Although, technically it ended up being $6, because I didn't feel like we should separate the bird from its brother and sister, the seashell-covered rooster and seashell-covered swan. The rooster lives in the kitchen and the swan lives in Kristi's room.
4. Logics hair serum: It makes your hair look like a Pantene commercial or a Breck ad. Plus, it smells good.
5. Zzyzx Road: Exists. And I can't get over it, even though it's been nearly two weeks since I became aware of its existence. According to the Wikipedia, I'm not the only one who's been inspired by Zzyzx Road - several bands I've never heard of have songs or albums called Zzyzx Road, two movies have been made, several science fiction characters are based on it, and there is a Magic: The Gathering parody expansion card called Zzyzx Abyss.*
*As an addendum, I've always liked that Magic: The Gathering cards exist. True dweebs need an outlet for their dweebness and playing Magic: The Gathering in the library during lunch is an excellent way of channeling their dweebness; it seems far more original than being a D&D dork. I mean this in the nicest way possible - I have fond high school memories of listening to a bunch of dragon-shirt dweebs talk about Magic: The Gathering cards while I tried to do homework in the library. I love it when dweebs connect with other dweebs; it gives me faith in the universe or something.

Embarrassingly, I used to be really into Magic cards when I was younger. And we prefer to be called geeks, thank you very much. :)
I would just like to say that I've used one of those reach-and-grabber things. There is no reason for you to not invest in one of these. Your life will change significantly, and certainly for the better.
