    Lara Croft – Time Raider

    Lara Croft – Time Raider is to blame.  Yes if you have been wondering where I have been it is all her fault.  Work has been crazy busy the past several weeks but in my down time I have been playing games on my new Xbox.  To my wife’s gratitude I finally cleaned up the basement entertainment cabinet by donating my old PS2, Gamecube and Wii.  As well as the old DVD player.  In it’s place came the Xbox so I have my video game system and DVD player in one.

    And unfortunately that means Lara Croft has been sucking all my free time as I veg out on the couch instead of drawing or spending time on the internet.   But I am not a total waste as I spent two days volunteering this past weekend.  Don’t you think better of me now?

    Any guilty pleasures you have that are pretty much a waste of time but you still do them anyway?

    I am sure by now the news is out world wide that Hostess is out of business because they could not come to an agreement with their Baker’s Union.   Hostess is the maker of Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread ceased operations completely this week, looking to liquidate all it’s assets and it’s iconic brands.  Also chopped were 18,000 employees.

    Of course the company was in bankruptcy prior to this event.   A smart move would have been to announce potential closing of the company several months ago in hopes of driving business to a lackluster performing market.   Just look at the reaction because of the actual closing:

    The above picture was the scene at my local Kroger store on Saturday.   Twinkies, Ding Dongs etc wiped off the shelves.  The only thing remaining was the 100 calorie packs (ironic).   And now opportunists are trying to cash in on collectors and people who can’t get enough artificially flavored excess by buying up the stock and selling it on ebay and craigslist.   With the demise of Twinkies, carnies worldwide are screaming in pain due to lost sales of deep fried Twinkies.

    Not everyone is unhappy.  I saw the Little Debbie delivery guy and you would have thought he won the lottery.  Because guess who get double space now to hock his wares?
