My wife and I like to watch some of the home design shows that are out there. Some of them are interesting and as most of them are only a half hour, they are a good time waster if nothing else is on.
One think I have noticed a lot is that people are moving away from the typical stone sink or countertop and getting cement ones. I have to admit that these are totally cool looking and can be made in any shape and color. Really a nice touch and totally cool.
Not that we are in the market. We aren't big kitchen people and at best, we'll upgrade our appliances but there are other more important things to be done in our house first.

The Browns 2009
Before the season began, I looked at our team and decided that a REALISTIC prediction would be 4 wins. 5 seemed too many, but I thought that 3 seemed a bit pessimistic.
Now having seen what our team is (in)capable of, I have to revise my picks. We won't win a single game this year. If we do, the other team will probably be demoted to the CFL for having lost to such a bad team.
Two years ago, I was optimistic about our talent level and thought we were close. Now I can clearly see that a total rebuild is needed and the only way we can be competitive again would be to do EVERYTHING right for the next 4 years in the draft and free agency and hope to compete again in 2013. Nothing will happen before then of note.
It doesn't help when most of our players are about as useful as spa filters in the Sahara and any talent we once had has either disappeared or been traded.

HGTV
I actually like the channel and watch a few of the shows on it. I especially love the House Hunters shows. We got into watching it last year when we were looking for houses. There are also a few other shows that are cool.
I also like that you can try and win prizes on a daily basis on their website. Most of the prizes are pretty cool with the exception of the truck accessories that I don't need. So far, not a winner, which probably won't change but I'll keep trying. You never know.
Have you ever won a really good prize? I know that it happens, and I'm just curious.
