Canned Air
The TV Guide

Yesterday was a very chill day … for the most part, David and I spent the day in our humble abode working before we ventured out to do a little supply shopping last night. We ate a quick meal at The Grove and then made our way to my fave store ever, Target, to pick up a few essentials. It is not a well-known fact about me but I am a huge fan of using cans of compressed air to blow dust off my computer keyboard and desk items on a fairly regular basis. It’s not a compulsion or anything, it’s just my fave way of keeping my work area as undusty as possible. Yeah, I know I’m really only blowing the dust off one thing and onto another but … meh, I liked it. The pint of this is that in the entire stock of the Target store in West Hollywood, they only had one open/used can of canned air in the whole place — and it was missing its straw! Hell to the no! I made David go with me to Best Buy to pick up a 4-can case to keep handy for future use.


Yes, folks, that was my exciting night.

I had planned on venturing out to see Watchmen at midnight tonight but I think I’ve changed my mind. The thought of staying out until about 4AM only to get a couple hours sleep before waking up to blog tomorrow morning isn’t very appealing. I deffo plan to see Watchmen this weekend, but I’ll prolly go at a more reasonable hour :)

  2. Saddlebred1977 says:

    Did you ever see the epidode of Intervention where the girl is addicted to huffing air from can’s of computer duster spray and she drives around in search of cans? I’m just saying it sounds similiar… hahahaha =)

    • @Saddlebred1977 — OMG, I swear that I only use canned air for the intended purpose for which it was created. Blah, I cannot imagine sucking on compressed air. Can’t you get frostbite from the liquid inside?

  4. Mr. Gyllenhaal says:

  9. Margie says:

    That episode of Intervention was disturbing to say the least. And yes, Trent, you can get a minor case of frostbite with it especially if you turn it upside down and spray your husband on a stupid dare of a friend. I’m still apologizing for it.

  10. Kyleigh says:

    Ok, the first thing I saw in this post was the huge pic of the Dust Off with hearts all around it, and all I could think about was that ep of Intervention, too!! Trent, I’m really glad you didn’t figuratively say you are addicted to it!

  11. jill says:

  12. Dori says:

  13. Saddlebred1977 says:

    LOL @ Mr. Gyllenhall – I need an Intervention for my addiction to watching Intervention AND Pink Is The New Blog. Now I’m connecting my two addictions… this is getting scary. I can sleep soundly knowing that I do not need to drive around in search of computer duster spray this evening. (just kidding Trent! Love ya! =)

  14. Chella says:

    Saddlebred1977:

    I was thinking the same thing!! In fact I didnt even knew those cans existed before I saw that episode of Intervention… Then I saw the movie Thirteen and they use it too… I s really f^&^& scary!!!

  19. Jen says:

    I absolutely LOVE using compressed air! I use it on everything, and just like you, I know it does no good, but tis so quick and easy! Plus, it has many fun features such as: straw, underwater-oxygen-tank noise, and potential for frostbite.
