I must admit that I am completely intrigued at the thought. I absolutely hate constantly needing to wash my hands because I've thrown something away while preparing dinner. This neat little device is not for the price concious but for the sanity conscious. I love the idea behind this product and wish I had been the one that was bright enough to create it. He or she is probably laughing all the way to the bank that no one else thought of this first. At any rate, the touchless trash can is next on my list of must have gadgets and gizmos for the kitchen.
We are in the midst of a vast and extensive kitchen overhaul at the moment so the touchless trash can will definitely be my gift to myself when all is said and done and I once again have a fully functional kitchen in which to prepare all my glorious meals. If you haven't seen one of these yet you can check it out below and I would love to hear your thoughts on the touchless trash can. In my book it rates up there with the robotic vacuum cleaner as a nifty gadget for girls.

My Top 5 Favorite Sci Fi Movies
Yes, I am truly a geek when it comes to movies. I love movies of all genres but sci fi still happens to be my favorite. While it is quite difficult to narrow it down to 10 I have these in mind for my favorite and please feel free to reply with a few of yours or even a "Why the heck did you leave this one off?" It could be that I simply haven't seen some of the greats in so long that I've merely forgotten about them. I will admist that I'm no connosieur of movies, nor a snob. Some of them are mearly my favorite because they hold fond memories for me from my childhood.
1) Star Wars. This movie is where my love of science fiction began. This is the movie that had me dreaming of touchging the stars and meeting creatures from other galaxies. Add to that the very awesome special effects and in the eyes and heart of a six year old I was forever hooked.
2) E. T. Yet another flashback to my childhood. This is definitely a sentimental favorite but a favorite it remains. I've been very blessed to find that this movie and Star Wars are movies that I've been able to share with my children and we've loved watching them together.
3) Aliens. Not the first one but the second. I know that most people are loyal to the first and I understand that compltely but this is my top 10 list and it was my favorite of the entire series. I didn't see the first movie in the series until after I watched Aliens and I can say little more than this movie scared the bejesus out of me and I always thought I had a fairly hefty constitution for frightening movies. I still remember dumping my popcorn in my lap the first time one of the aliens popped out.
4) The Lost Boys. What kind of true sci fi geek could get away without mentioning a vampire movie somewhere in the mix. When this movie came out the eye candy was incredible and the storyline was actually pretty good in light of the many campy Dracula films that had hit the market. If you must still ask why it made my top 10 need I say more than Keifer Sutherland??
5) The Empire Strikes Back. Yes I know I've already mentioned another Star Wars movie but this one sticks out in its own right as well. Perhaps it was my broken heart that resulted from seeing my beloved Han Solo frozen in carbonite or the fact that it was the first movie I had ever seen that left off without the good guys prevailing. I was young at the time and rather sheltered. But this movie was brave, brazen, and a darn good movie. There aren't many movies in life that we simply must watch everytime it comes on the television but this is definitely one of those for me.
This by no means indicates that there aren't many excellent sci fi movies out there that aren't on my list. Off the cuff I can name the remaining Star Wars Movies, The Matrix, 2001, The Terminator, The Star Trek movies, Independence Day, and The X Men just to name a few. It is difficult determining favorites among so many and I would love to see the favorites of others as well as the reasons why.

The Sadist in Me
Yes, I do have a bit of a sadistic bent, particularly when it comes to love and love that has been lost along the way. With that in mind, I find the "Ex" Knife holder to be a must have gadget for the kitchen of every girl (geek or not) who has loved and lost. This is particularly true if it didn't end all too well. Take a look for yourself though and tell me I'm wrong.
The problem I have with this product is that there are no incantations to make sure the 'ex' in question feels the pain so to speak. Did I mention that I was a sadist? As far as knife holders go, this is an excellent conversation piece to include in your kitchen. I would refrain however from taking it to the office as it may raise a few questions. In fact, I would think a knife holder--particularly a loaded knife holder might raise more than a few questions. It would be fun however to see the look in some of your coworkers eyes though wouldn't it?

Last Chaos
Have I mentioned that I'm such a geek? Seriously, I don't think they make many girls that qualify on the geek scale quite to the extent that I seem to dominate that scale. This being said it is absolutely no wonder that I am seriously addicted to MMORPGs. That would be massively multiplayer online role playing games for the uninitiated. I love these games in all kinds of genres and settings. The problem is that if you are addicted to more than a couple it can grow to become quite an expensive habit to maintain. Enter Last Chaos. This is a free to download and free to play MMORPG for all who might be interested or those that are simply wondering what the fuss is all about. I hope those of you who check it out find as many hours of enjoyment in the land of online gaming as I have.
