Monday April 5 2004. HOW JETER FEELS.

  

  With every order of the official A-Rod New York State Quarter, you get a free Derek Jeter Quarter. Seriously. I couldn't make this stuff up.

RELATING. ECKERD. CALL NOW!

  I just got off of the phone with Barney. He called specifically to tell me how Hammy had called him this morning just to tell him some silly story. Barney was laughing at the fact that it was a pointless little story.
  Hmm. I can relate.

  Seems that CVS is set to buy over 1,200 Eckerd units (stores). Well, I suppose CVS stock is going to go up even more. Way to sell off all your stock, Mr. Glenn.    "Unlike most newsletter companies, we do not have a set-up fee and you are not required to sign up for a minimum number of newsletters."
  Yeesh. I wonder if I'm going to burn in Writer's Hell for having to write ad copy.
UNHAPPY TOGETHER.

  That stupid Applebee's song is stuck in my head. Actually, let me rephrase: The song by The Turtles ("Happy Together") in that stupid Applebee's commercial is stuck in my head.
     Imagine steak and shrimp / Or shrimp and steak / Imagine both of these / On just one plate
 
I've decided that just because of that commercial, I'm not going to even drive by an Applebee's, let alone ever eat at one.

756 CHANNELS. 756 Channels, Eckerd, Unhappy Together, Prorating, How Jeter Feels, Geeks, and Call Now!, and Relating.

  Beth has decided that she doesn't like the new digital cable. She says there are too many channels and she can't keep them all straight. Isn't having too many channels sort of the whole point?

GEEK. PRORATING.
  Speaking of cable, Cox has a week-long preview of their Major League Baseball pay-per-view in which you get 10 channels of televised games (as opposed to 10 channels of un-televised games?). So I'm all geeked-up about watching the Padres all week--including their first game in their new stadium.   I'm trying to figure out how to prorate a capital invest for multiple clients. For example, my printer is a one-time expense. How would I split up that expense for accounting purposes?
  And how come I have to do this shit?
