Does Sentimental value depreciate over time?

Just had a thought.... If an item that has a high sentimental value, does the value depreciate over time.

Think about your grandfather's Victoria Cross he earned for his service in WWI. The Sentimental value has definately depreciated when you sell it off on "under the hammer." or cash in the attic.

American foods that sound foreign.

America has a nice way of naming foods to make them sound foreign and exotic.

French Fries

Haagen Dazs Ice Cream

Lazy people at the health club

Can you believe the cheekiness of the people who come to the gym and then illegally park in the handicap and parent spaces.

You've come to the gym to work out people. You can stand to walk a few extra steps.

Enter the dragon

If you have ever met my wife Shahrzad, you would think of her as a kind and courteous person. But unleash her in the Wii and she goes nuts... We were playing tennis on the Wii last night, and she was running all around the room, and shoving me out of the way so she could make her shots. She has real competitive streak in her, and the Wii brings it out big time.

Nintendo Excercise Plan

My Mate Adam loaned me his Nintendo Wii this week, and my wife and I have been having a go at the games.

In comparison to my 360, the games are not quite as good, but the interface is revolutionary. You do get the ocasional wierdness where the system misinterprets your input, but all-in-all the interface is a revolution in gaming.

This game system really gets you out of your seat and moving.

Movies with too many big stars always suck.

Ever notice that the more big stars that you throw at a movie, the worse it gets?

Last evening I happened upon another in the line of crappy megastar overload movies

Short Cuts (1993)

Eshgh Box 360

The persian word for love is Eshgh....

I got a 360 over the weekend and when my daughter tries to say its name instead of xbox she says eshgh Box.

Kinda appropriate considering how much attention it demands...
