And I believe that would be Dylan standing up for us. Funny.

Traffic is horrible today. I don't know if it is the slightly narrower roads due to refroze Devil Slurpee, so many side roads still being impassable or what, but it was bad. And me, driving a strange car. It was a little more stressful than I would've like. Ah well, got some errands done. I now can do laundry this weekend.

It's goofy, I feel sort of compelled to drive because I'm paying for it. Which, really, I'm paying for the convenience of not being inconvenienced, but still. It's funny.

People. I think I'm cursed. I just went to turn on the lamp on my table and the switch is broken. Not "I just broke it." It's broken. No idea how that happened. It's off to Home Depot after dinner to get a new switch.

At least this I can fucking fix myself.

I was going to make a king cake this weekend to bring into the office, but I've been looking at some recipes and it seems more complicated than I feel like dealing with. (I did find one that had "1 can of cinnamon rolls" as the first ingrediant, but that's cheating.)

I think I am going to try to make Gumbo Z'Herbes, though. Just have no idea where to buy file around here.

I decided to make today bed buying day, and I totally kicked ass. I walked into Sleep train knowing how much the mattress I really really wanted but could only barely afford cost at Macy's, (and how much the acceptable substitute cost as well) (and having already blown off Sleep World as more expensive than Macy's and just really gross in general). The sales person showed me the equivalent mattress there, and I ended up getting 5% off the Macy's price, due to Sleep Train's best price policy, even though the Macy's price was 600 below Sleep Train's Blow out clearance price.

Plus, they are going to deliver it tomorrow.

Way to shop, Lee!

It was even kind of fun, once I got past the IM IN YR STOR TAKING NAPS ON YR BEDS thing.

Guess whose fault it is that schools want to teach "secular" evolution?

The one-page memorandum, marked “From: Representative Ben Bridges,” declared that “tax-supported evolution science” was based on religion and therefore unlawful under the United States Constitution.

It continued, “Indisputable evidence — long hidden but now available to everyone — demonstrates conclusively that so-called secular evolution science is the Big Bang 15-billion-year alternate ‘creation scenario’ of the Pharisee Religion.”

“This scenario,” the memorandum stated, “is derived concept-for-concept from Rabbinic writings on the mystic ‘holy book’ kabbala dating back at least two millennia.”

It's goofy, I feel sort of compelled to drive because I'm paying for it. Which, really, I'm paying for the convenience of not being inconvenienced, but still. It's funny.

I feel this way all the time, which is why, if I have a lot of work to do at home like this weekend, I don't get a car.

M IN YR STOR TAKING NAPS ON YR BEDS thing.

Yeah, I'm not sure I ever got over that when I bought my bed. I kept telling the salesguy to go away cause it creeped me out.

I have walked to Home Despot (cause really, I think I'm pushing my luck far enough with all things mechanical this week) and purchased a new switch socket. And I have replaced it in the lamp. And LO! There is light.

I feel this way all the time, which is why, if I have a lot of work to do at home like this weekend, I don't get a car.

It's just like insurance. Except that I'm ok with insurance and I can't get my head to accept the equivalence.
