New Jersey is whack.

This is a true thing.

...you're not on a bus in New Jersey, I hope.

Maybe I should yell at stupid drivers on the way in tomorrow.

I support that! For me, it's a combination of letting it out, and also realizing how ridiculous I am with it.

Zenkitty, maybe they're worried that a tenant's gardening or rennovation will turn up Jimmy Hoffa?

WTF is up with my co-worker waiting til I'm eating lunch at my desk to come in and give me the news (and many, many details) about changes to a component I thought I'd finished with? I'd been at the office for 3 solid hours without a peep from her, with another 5 to come. It can't wait 15 minutes?

Though at least tonight I didn't feel the grocery store was bending me over the checkout counter without any foreplay like it usually does. For $42.50 I walked away with:
• 1/2 lb. of smoked turkey
• 1/2 lb. of smoked cheddar
• 1/4 lb. of baby swiss
• a loaf of high fiber bread
• 2 tins of biscuits
• 4 single-serving trays of frozen broccoli and cheese sauce
• 3 ears of corn
• an avocado
• a big bunch of bananas
• a pound of strawberries
• 5 peaches
• 5 nectarines
• 5 containers of yogurt
• a quart of milk
• a big box of raisin bran
• 2 packages of beef noodle soup

Have the gas pumps destroyed my sense of financial proportion, or is that pretty good? It's basically a week's worth of food aside from soft drinks and a couple servings of seafood entrees I already had in the freezer.

Seems like pretty reasonable prices. You've left off the wine which is what usually drives up my grocery bills.

Alas, the wine, she no good for me. Though I did get a bottle of concord grape juice on my trip to the store last week.

For some reason, when I hear the phrase "tin of biscuits" I picture the provisions of mid-20th century mountaineers. Or early 20th century antarctic explorers.

What if you hear, "packet of crisps"?

Okay, I swear to god I got halfway down that list before I realized you weren't talking about a sandwich.

I mentioned tipsy, right? Also hungry? But at least home now.

What if you hear, "packet of crisps"?

Then I start to think about fish and chips, and wonder if crisps are better than chips, and are either greasier than French fries or potato chips, because they sound greasier, but then I wonder where I got that impression from, and think maybe it's because fish and chips usually come in paper, and the paper must be there to soak up the grease, but then, did I just assume that? or did I once read some story about greasy, translucent newspaper that once contained fish and chips, and then I remember that centuries ago glass was too expensive for some people so they used oiled paper to let the light in, and then....

What was the question?
