I'm surprised that supermarkets and other food stores seem to have no requirement to indicate when they're selling food past their sell-by date. I know when I'm buying cheapie mince pies in mid-Feb exactly why, but when I end up with cream from the posh supermarket that should have been sold yesterday, it's icky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Caveat emptor.

Doesn't serve the store's rep. I can't imagine how long that cream had been on the shelf--the cream I was replacing hadn't hit its sell by yet. And I don't use it that quickly.
If it happened in the Vons that smelt like dogshit, then I figure I'm getting what I pay for.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You would think there was a rule about selling past the sell-by date. Although I've had cream go bad before that, which I think says something bad about the store, too. Although it could be the shippers or whatever.

I just did an annoyingly extensive web search to ID a guy on this Miami Vice episode because he looked like the guy from Buffy. Turns out he's a guy from Buffy, but not one I remember. Or maybe I remember him from a previous episode of Miami Vice. My mental files could be better organised. It's like a cabinet where stuff pops out of the drawer and I can't work out where to refile it.

I'm not going to say that's what you get for being all out and about, but.

Unfortunately I think it's also what you get for staying in. Whatever I do, I need another day to do something else.
At least I got some good voyeur time in at krav. The instructor group after mine was testing for blue today. I wish I could have stuck around and watched them fight, but still. That's me being selfish and wanting free entertainment. Watching them run through all the techniques and watching the test being given are two sides of a very instructional coin. It's not that I want to take my brown belt again, but I do want to do almost all of it better.

zip it jesse.
I did get one load of laundry done tonight, as well as the grocery shopping, and prepping stuff to mail tomorrow. I need to get something to eat. I'd also like to cook some, but that will have to wait for tomorrow night.

OK, actually I think it's really what you get for having jobs and shit. Scheduled stuff five days a week? That's just crazy.
