Man, either my blood pressure pill was a placebo this morning or there is an unusual amount of idiocy afoot in the retail world.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

I vote for idiocy. My BP has been through the roof for the past two days.

On the bright side, once I got past the family of indecisive halfwits that were treating the order counter at Panera Bread Co. like a goal they were trying to defend, I came away with a nummy roast beef and horseradish on asiago bread sandwich.
They were still there complaining about the ordering process as of the time I left with my food.

The tumblr site is where it says up through the weekend only. (Edit: [link] ) At the main site, the two episodes are back to back at the one link - it's a half-hour show, so 47 minutes is 2 of them.

Thrive to spite them
I woke up to the sound of cats racing/fighting. I'm not sure how serious it gets. But Dean seemed Seriously Pissed. So I chased Penny out of the bedroom and closed the door to give Dean a break. At least I thought I did, turns out I just closed them both out.
Then I went to the Antiquarian Book and Ephemera Fair, which was held right across from where I work. I looked around at some really cool books (most of my price range) but picked up a neat cookbook The Alice Bradley Menu-Cook-Book Menus, Marketing Lists and Recipes. By the Former Principal of Miss Farmer's School of Cookery, Inc.
It has menus and recipes for each day of the week and Special Occasion meals (Valentine's, Christmas, Lincoln's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Easter, etc). A marketing list for the week plus items to be ordered that day. And the menus carry over so there's leftovers and stuff.
And I looked at post cards. I saw a really cool suffrage postcard, but it was $15 so I didn't buy it. I used to, sort of, collect post cards but stopped. But I found some nice cheap ones so I guess I'm collecting again. I even found a little photo album discounted to 50 cents at Goodwill to put them in.
Friday I texted the woman I met at TJ Maxx and asked if she wanted to get together but she never texted me back so it looks like that might not go anywhere.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I've had three arguments in which I had to call family members out on racist arguments re the Martin case. Where the fuck did I come from? Blood is boiling.

I would very much like to go to NY with Allyson and raise hell. just saying.
Speaking of NY, I gave up my US Open tickets. sad, but $1K that I really could not justify spending. I think either a festival in Austin or NO or maybe both will get added to my schedule in the coming years.
An afternoon in the shade on my back patio turns out to be just what I needed. I did do a little tiny bit of cleaning by sweeping the patio and a wee bot of yard work by planting two flower pots, but really I just played on the interwebs and read a kid's book.

I can occasionally be indecisive when in line in a new-to-me place. But I have a phrase for those occasions: "I'm still deciding, why don't you go ahead of me?"
