You have bands/sport teams/comedians/dance troupes/orchestras that you sort of like, but don’t care enough to keep track of their tour schedules and venues. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a website where you could enter your zip code and the performers that you want to see, and it notifies you when they are coming to your area of town? This would make a great addition to Ticket Master, though there needs to be some mechanism to keep track of the lesser known performers (let them upload their schedule).

Apologies for the total disappearance over the last few days, been under the weather and hugging my pillow. The last few days, what I wanted most was some cough drops, medicine, and soup, but without really the energy or the will power to leave the apartment, I was stuck with warm water and orange juice. Delivery, however, is almost entirely limited to pizza and oily Chinese food, not the most enticing while sick.

So what’s the best solution? Besides asking your roommate and friends to pick up this down time necessities: online grocery delivery. Of course I didn’t realize this until I started writing this (toughed it out until I could comfortably drive), so I didn’t utilize it this time around, but I’m sure I will in the future. The delivery charges are hefty, but you could consider it a don’t-really-want-to-bug-a-friend-fee.

On the other hand, there really needs to be another alternative to the pizza Chinese food delivery monopoly. Burrito anyone?
