This Is Vienna
I bought The Fray - How To Save A Life on Ebay for about ten bucks. It wasn't coming fast enough, so I ended up going to Target and getting it instead. Therefor, I will have two copies of this. Comment if you want one, and even if you're too late I'll be more than happy to burn you one (I include track listings, too!). I know this is piracy, but if groups acctually cared about that, there would probably be no internet. Or CD burners. At least that's the way I see it.
My mother and her boyfriend went fishing about two weekends ago, and they killed about a million fish. Okay, I'm being hyperbolic, but it smells like a million. No joke - this entire house stinks. Oh, and don't even think about opening up the refridgerator - they don't think 'well, maybe since we catch a lot of fish, we should get one of those huge freezers and keep only stink things in there.' NOPE. Doesn't even cross their minds.
So the phrase 'at least...' doesn't really apply to everything. I have to think about this everytime I use it now. Like, 'there were at least a million dead fish in my house.' In context. However, if you were mailing out a package on Monday, and you wanted it to reach the recipicant on Wednesday, you would not say, 'I prefer it there by at least two days.' That means that two days is the smallest time period you'd prefer the package to be received. Instead, you would say, 'I prefer it there by at most two days.' Problem solved.
I have far too much time on my hands.
