Since water is after all, well, WATER, bottled water merchands have to work extra hard to sell their own version of the water in a bottle (brilliant!) concept. for Fred, apparently it means being sold in a bottle that looks like a whiskey flask, but also hanging out at MySpace. Fred currently has 41 friends, not including Tom. After all, I wouldn't want to be Friend with a botle of water, it seems so, ephemeral...

And, at the risk of sounding dated, is this the same Fred that was too sexy for his shirt? (via notcot)

Canon PowerShot SD500 Digital Elph Camera

4 people recommended this item

Description

even with a cracked screen (my fault, not theirs) this is my camera of choice.

it's small, has great software/ui, and takes phenomenal pictures.

but most of all, it uses a standard USB cable to download pictures.

no custom cables for me. (via Staviean)

Guitar Hero: Computer & Video Games (PS2)

So it's not an actual guitar that you strum, but it's still such a fun game! Once you get the hang of pushing those buttons, you'll get addicted. Remember to take breaks after every couple songs (or take turns with a friend), because after a while, your fingers will start to hurt! I really hope they come out with a new game with more songs.
