I found out otherwise last week when one arrived on our doorstep and didn't fly away. What am I talking about? The Pelican Micro Case for the iTouch (or iPod or other iSomethings).

The whole concept is pretty new to me. Check out this funny intro video: Before I go on here, let me tell you that for a limited time, you can get Zipit Bedding at a special DISCOUNT PRICE of only $39.99!

It's being described as "apocalyptic dystopian fiction" and "Left Behind meets Matched for middle-grade readers."

Sometimes it's ALL we can do to just get the house clean and if that means tossing things quickly into the garbage, so be it. I'm not necessarily proud of this, but there you go.
