Space Ship House for Sale

Right now, as I write this, the Space Ship House on a mountain in Chattanooga, TN is just about to go on the Auction Block. If you want to see inside this interesting house (not a “little” house or a “tiny” house, mind you at 2000 square feet), you can visit the ebay auction page. (Update: link no longer available.)

So, if you are interested in living in a house that’s only accessible with an electric staircase that pushes itself to the ground, if you always wanted to BE Captain Kirk, or if you just want a really odd shaped interior, without trying to make your home’s footprint really small… this might be your thing.

The only thing standard about this house is the “three bedrooms, two baths” designation!

A Serious Caffeine Addiction

picture-001.jpgI’m an addict, I admit it. And, until last night, I’d been off caffeine for nearly two weeks. Then, while picking up a new computer mouse to replace the one I’ve killed, I saw Bawls brand caffeinated candies.

I love Bawls soda. It’s like a all-over body rush. So, I had to buy the candies in addition to my new mouse.

After I checked out, I saw a whole pyramid of CASES of Bawls soda. Now, these sodas are seriously expensive, so I controlled myself. But apparently others don’t exert such amazing self-control.
