Oh memories

I'm gonna get what I want!

A story.

Today I went to CVS to buy some soap and shampoo. After picking out said items off the shelves, I waited in line to pay. I was the last one on the line, and there was only one kid ringing people up. When I went up to pay, the kid said hi, and asked if I had a CVS card, and I said no, and then he completed the transaction and I paid and he put the products I purchased in a bag. Then, after all this completely normal stuff happened, as I was putting my wallet away, I saw him grab an almost empty bottle of mouth wash that he had next to the cash register. He opened it up, poured some mouth wash into the cap, and drank it in front of me.

Now, I know that this particular CVS is notorious for sucking as a place of employment. It has an even worse reputation than the Shoprite located in that very same shopping center. I know this because I know several people who used to work in that CVS, and I know several people who used to work in that Shoprite, and as much as the Shoprite people say it was the worst job ever, everyone is in agreement that CVS is way worse. And I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to survive such horrible work environments, co-workers, customers, and most importantly in the cases of these two particular establishments, bosses. But mouth wash? Seriously?

A new Blanding bursts into the world

So as of Sunday, I have become Uncle Mike...and soo I will get the prefix "crazy". We're very fortunate that it's not one of those, "Oh...what a........cute..baby" spawns, but one of those "Mmmmmm....baby." babies.

His name is Andrew Wyland Blanding. Drew for short. Here are some pictures. http://www.puravidavieques.com/andrew/

So I can't wait to spoil him rotten in the future.

In other news, we still don't have internet at our place in D.C., but I have internet at the library of an hour per day. I really did miss you all and the halloween bash, and I expect every dirty detail to be exposed, even if they never happened. My manager at work felt really bad for being incompetent and not giving me that weekend off, so I get an extra day for thanksgiving break. psh.

Not too much to report on the home front. Evan is trying to get a job w/americorp also, so I'll be the only one not selling out to the man. w00t. Also shoutout to my homeslice Jeff about Avatar and frackin Blood bending.

For anyone who has any days off during the break, there's always welcome to come down and experience the joy that is the Wheaton shoppington food court. Speaking of filling our bodies with refuse and alcohol, WHENS GONNA BE THE NEXT REUNION TOUR D' STYLE CHRISTMAS EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!???!!!

OK, Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Joe, enjoy your Turducken, I hope you burn in hell for creating and enjoying such a Chimera beast!, Jeff, I expect nothing less than the best of christmas brews from your distillery (you are the new Geneseo Ale House), Neil, I hope you lose every bet you make with joe and die a poor and miserable death. Brendan, i hope your trip across the sea's have left you jaded and callous and no more than a shell of a human being. Bob, I hope your death will be shortly followed by the extraction of your brain to be implanted into a recently slain supermodel so you will be forever pleased with yourself (and your marriage to Joe will be legit too). Andrew, my brother named his son after you, so your legacy will live on.

And all the ladies, much love, one one..bu-ya-shak

Random!

hey y'all. Friday Night I had to work at this thing called Late Nite Madness...it celebrates the beginning of basketball season here. While I was less than thrilled that I had volunteered to be there (I have many things due this week...oops), I managed to have a delightful time.

Point of the story: Joe McManus was there!!!! He was visiting his sister, and came over to say hi while i was giving out stickers and asking people if they wanted to get their picture taken with the mascot, baxter. He is a bearcat with an extremely pleasant expression on his face. Anyhow, it was really fun to run into joe. Huzzah!

ps. we posted again on our blog...1.5 months after the first post. we suck.

love love

stuffed eggplant?!!

Things I tend to do very slowly:



1) Get my stuff together after paying in stores, especially supermarkets and other grocery stores.



2) Put on my shoes (at least according to Kristine. I might disagree.)



3) This:

According to the cook book, that should have taken about an hour and fifteen or an hour and a half to prepare and cook. It took me two and a half. So much work went into it, in fact, that when it was done I felt compelled to take a picture of the final product before it got eaten. And then I felt compelled to share this picture.

That's all!

Gone Cat-a-tonic

So we're adopting our neighbors cat, cause she's moving away...and it's a freakin awesome cat that's currently named mittens...but that won't suffice for our purposes. So I leave it up to you, fine folks, to give us some suggestions on what to call said cat.

It is a Maine coon Polydactyl cat, and has a grey med-long coat.

So far, we have come up with the following:

Twelve toes, Schödinger, Pinky, Din-Din, Dog, Meatball, Main Moon, Lil' Khajit, Skooma, Arroz Gatonés, HIV, Sudoku, Lil' Bastard, Eek, Ameri-Corpse, Bilbo Baggins, Ignatius Applebottm III, Chesta da Molesta, Snarf, Voldem...."Cat who must not be named", Boner, The Clap, Thundercat, Cumshot, Mushboom, Condom, Dental Dam, Cheesemaker.
