Right. So.

We went to Borders last Monday, where I coughed up a fit and had to have a little cup of water at the caf� so I wouldn't hack up my lungs.

While there, I saw, among other things, these tree-top ornaments.

They made me laugh, and if you can figure out why I will be completely shocked.

Here are the presents I wrapped for my friends. (It would appear that I was the only one who had presents on time)

When Angie opened hers she gave this.. gasp? I dunno. But it was kind of the sort of thing that seems to mean "I can't believe you got this amazing thing I was never expecting!!!!"

I thought that was funny because it was just soap. It's kind of like how moms always give the same response to their kids' gifts.

-Gasp!-
Oh honey, it's wonderful! We're putting this on the fridge/special shelf/in the trashcan as soon as you aren't looking!

(Not that I... don't appreciate your amusing reaction, Angie, it just seemed out of place)

Went to a laundromat with "BIG SCREEN TVS" and a "SNACKBAR" and "VIDEO GAMES." It was slightly less dumpy than the one we usually go to, had tiny TVs, old video games against the wall that were plugged in but not on, and a vending machine. Talk about false advertising. I thought it looked like it was built in the sixties, but my mom said it had to be from the eighties.

If you put rubber-backed rugs in the washer it can result in "seriuos" damage.


It doesn't have the little thing over the n but the name made me laugh... inside.



Also this way the kid won't get cavities. It's win-win!

Tiny pears!


When I was trying to take this picture in TJ Maxx this guy kept coming into the aisle and I had to wait for him to leave.


Ranch 99 sucks. My mom made me go there for the first time in years the other day. There was a half-eaten pear in the noodle aisle.


I wanted to take a picture of the square bread but we left that section... So here's quail eggs instead.

Asian bread seems like it's always perfectly square. I'm not completely sure how they do it.

Weird name for coffee in a can.


I looked at this box of crackers just because it said 'cheese'. The description is funny.

(I can totally imagine an asian person saying that)

Graffiti.


Saw this in the back window of a car in the parking lot of the mall we went to yesterday.


Eating at the NEW FOODCOURT.

Well, they ate. I just had a smoothie. And two fries. And half a doughnut at Safeway earlier. And a pear before that. And that was basically all I had the whole day.

I always see this at the little smoothie place but I'm not entirely sure if you can get it or not.



I bought a can of Pringles at Rite-Aid for ninety nine cents. We were wondering if this was why...

Every chip was broken. There wasn't a single one intact. Angie suggested that perhaps some dumbass dropped all of the cans.

Got this at the mall. :)

I like the older comic artwork better. It seems like nowadays everything is all... shiny. It's weird...

My dad was removing things from behind the dryer last night. There was a lot of stuff.

(Um, the basket of clothes wasn't included though, that's mine)

It's crazy how you can see where all the traffic has been on the carpet.

OKAY, so yesterday. Let me see.

Woke up at ten, Angie came around eleven, we called Lucy, who was asleep, waited a little, then walked to Safeway. We called Lucy again, this time asked her parents to wake her up, and were told she'd meet us at around one. So... by this time we had like half an hour to kill SO we uh... walked... around. -Ahem-

We got back to Safeway just before Lucy showed up, then we walked to the mall. (And that's how I burned off half a doughnut)

Before, we had sorta planned to maybe see a movie, but we decided that we didn't have enough time because Lucy had to be home by four. (She had to go to a party which actually started at six, but she didn't know that)

Lucy and I got smoothies, then we headed to see the new foodcourt. I'd seen it already once, when we went to the mall to do that stupid family picture. Lucy and Angie hadn't though, so it was cool for them. There are only like four places open in it as of yet but it looks quite promising.

(Our nearest mall was kind of dying, but now they're bringing in lots of things so it'll be fine again)

They both got garlic fries, and we sat at a table near these German-speaking businessmen. It was cool because... I dunno. It was just kinda cool. Not that many people speak German around here. Mostly it's like, asian languages. And I can't really tell them apart, nor do I care to.

After the fries Angie was thirsty, so we went back to the smoothie place, she got a smoothie, then we sat on a bench and discussed sitcom plot ideas until she finished. It was... amusing.

{Watching TV on the computer, something I won't be able to do in a short while since we stopped our cable service. An ad for "Strap Perfect" just played. It was funny. One of its 'perks' is making your boobs look bigger. :P}

I think we just started walking back after that. Lucy's mom picked us up about halfway along and took us to Lucy's place. We walked around, then modeled for Lucy (she wants models so she can practice drawing).

The modeling was interesting. One of us had to talk while Lucy took pictures of the other. I was bad at it. I kept making Angie laugh. Angie talked about law or something. I can't remember because I started zoning out soon after she started talking. Man, she's good at droning.

When Lucy had to leave, we walked back to my house. I made some fizzy strawberry lemonade, which we finished off, and then later Angie's mom picked her up. And that was pretty much yesterday.

Oh, also I linked some new webcomics in the KtB module.

LOL! Apple Pinata!

I love the wrappers you guys have over there. Simple and nice, not like the ones here which is like very printed and not nice.

so ... I don't think I've commented on your blog in a while, though I read them every day. it sounds like you had an eventful day yesterday and nothing bad seems to have happened {if it did, you just didn't mention it}

I like the description on the cracker box. due to your comment I can totally picture some elderly asian lady saying that to someone.

I hate gift giving. It's either a fake reaction or a sucky one, and I never quite know which one I'd prefer. And I also feel bad because I never know how to react and suspect them of suspecting me of being fake. Agh!
