DeBeers: She'll pretty much have to.
The couch odyssey continues. I’ve tried calling people that have listed couches on craigslist and they don’t answer their phone nor get back to me via email. These people place an ad yet seem to not care about selling the item. I suppose it could be sold, but then they should take the ad down. That would prevent people from inquiring about something that is no longer available. Common sense to me, but not to many, apparently. I just want a comfy couch that’s not flowered for cheap! Is that too much to ask?
Did you realize today is 04/04/04? Has anything really weird happened today? Seems like it’s predestined that something would happen. Something weird happened in VA; I did the dishes IMMEDIATELY after dinner. I shocked myself. It could only have something to do with the cosmic significance of 04/04/04.
Can someone explain why we have daylight savings time? I realize it was designed for the farmers to have more daylight hours and it was designed to save energy costs (lights being on less, etc) but in this day and age, aren’t these reasons outdated? I mean, Hawaii and Arizona don’t have DST and they haven’t imploded. I woke up this morning at what I thought was 10:30 until the paper told me I should have turned my clock back Saturday night. For some reason, I thought DST was always changed Sunday night, but I guess not. Anyway, some politician should run on the platform of abolishing DST. As long as they didn’t balance out their platform by supporting clubbing baby seals or something like that, they’d have my vote!
Did anyone read today’s Dave Berry column? I thought it was funnier than most of his columns. I had pasta AND bread for dinner, so according to the Atkins people I’m screwed (this is the topic of the column, go read it now). I don’t get this uproar about carbs. Carbs are a GOOD THING, people! It’s just too many people are lazy bastards and don’t burn the carbs they consume. Same story as fat and calories, excess is not a good thing (unless it’s money and sex, those are good to have in excess). This time next year I bet the whole Atkins thing will be recent history and the country will move on to the latest fad diet. Probably something to do with eating five spoonfuls of salt a day or something equally inane.
There was a blurb in the paper today that people spend $200 a week for groceries in Fairfax county, compared to $104 average for the rest of the country. $200?!?!? Are these people eating lobster every night? My meal tonight cost me $.75 for a box of pasta, $1.00 for pasta sauce (Ragu, too), and $1.15 for Pillsbury crescent rolls = $2.90 for the meal, plus I’ve got leftovers (For some twisted reason, this reminds me of the commercials for sponsoring children in third world countries “For only $1.00 a day…”). Hey, if anyone wants to sponsor ME, I’m open to donations!
And everyone, my Mom is reading this journal, so no profane comments, all right?
