It's a documented fact I'm not the biggest fan of Walmart.
But there's this Supercenter one on my way home from work, and the prices are really good.
And the best part?
The self-checkout lane allows for 20 items.
Granted, I checked out of there with 32 items, but at least it wasn't the ...

I'm cooking a turkey.
And first of all, cleaning a turkey and soaking it is quite possibly the grossest thing ever. And it's kinda smelly. (It was a fresh turkey, as in, LIVE three days ago.) Ugh.
Now it's cooking in the oven and two hours later, it's finally starting to smell ...

Me, long-haired, bony-assed youngish dude with a beanie wearing jeans.
Your back was toward me when your hand slid up my leg and grabbed my ass, but I know you were only trying to be sly ...

Milton Friedman died today.
You may not know who that is, but I guarantee he's had an impact on your life with his ideas.
NPR was discussing his death, and what he did for economics, while I was on my way home. I learned about him in high school... I had a ...

My favorite person is having a sample sale.
It's invite-only, but you can register and get in on the deals. (Some stuff is 75% off.) It only lasts four days and some things are already selling out... even though it started this morning.

One of the best things about my job is the environment, and in particular, the funny people who I share an office space with... let's call them Mickey and Granny.

Usually he sits toward the front. He wears dress slacks, but no tie and always seems like he only brushed the front part of his hair. He nods often, asks questions constantly and sits sideways, eyeballing the room, as if looking for a prospect.
