thrifty

I didn't work today and had fun buying crap. First I went to Safeway (by far the safest way to shop for groceries) and turned all my collected change into store credit using the Coin Master thing. It takes 8.9 cents per dollar, but the convenience is worth it. So spare me the argument. Anyways, my twenty odd dollars in credit was spent on draino, bread, dog treats, mini fire starter logs, and cheese. All bagged together it was only three bags worth of stuff, but the cashier dude asked if I needed help out to the car. What? Usually I would consider myself to be a decently capable man, but I guess three bags of groceries is a little too much for me to handle in the eyes of Safeway. Perhaps they're just playing it safe and I should be greatful. I prefer to be confused.

So then I went to a thrift store looking for an old Mac Classic to turn into a 'Macquarium.' They didn't have any, but I spent time browsing around anyways and found a set of four wine glasses with black stems that were in good shape. On the same shelf was this thick glass beer stein with a silver plaque engraved with "Keith" and under that "groomsman." Obviously Keith is strongly attached to the memory of the wedding. But in general I think 'Keith" is a cool name, so I bought that too. Glassware is always useful. Unless your name is Keith.


I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn
You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now
Take off your Band-Aid because I don't believe in touchdowns
What was I thinking when I said hello?
