Damn, I go to lunch and I miss the new Natter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
For Chicagoistas, mass-transit doomsday has been averted. Or rather, postponed. Yet again.
The CTA's top officials this afternoon accepted a short-term funding bailout proposed by Gov. Rod Blagojevich to avert fare increases and service cuts set to take effect Sunday and Monday, but the agency's doomsday scenario will still take place in November unless new funds are obtained.
One of the cool things about Illinois is our governor's name. The newspapers usually abbreviate it to 'Blaggo.'

I think I just lost a mental battle, you guys!
Okay, so it was a mental battle over whether I should be strong and not get the Cheetos.
I am weak. And soon I shall have orange fingers.

I don't think I've ever lived anywhere with wine in the grocery store, much less hard alcohol.
Seriously. I did a double-take in Rite-Aid yesterday when I realized I was standing next to a big bottle of vodka.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's just crazy.

In VA, we have wine and beer in all kinds of stores, but the hard alcohol is in the state-run ABC stores.

I love being able to pop into the grocery store for a tub of yogurt and some green beans and a GIGANTIC bottle of whiskey! I don't think I ever want to live someplace where I can't get toilet paper, tortillas, and tequila at the same store.

Completely off topic, but pretty cool:

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Ralph's grocery store was my one-stop-shop for my sister-in-law's birthday. On a Sunday even- I got Cuervo 1800, a birthday card, and a gift bag. The only thing they didn't have was tissue paper (shouldn't a store that has gift bags also sell tissue paper? Right next to the gift bags, maybe? Extra few bucks with every gift bag purchase? Silly humans) so I had to use fancy paper napkins.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That's just crazy.
Didja notice Duane Reade sells beer now?
