I went to Wegmans last night with
suomifrikki. First time in a month of doing real grocery shopping. I think I mostly could've held out a bit longer, but I was antsy for more Pam. We spent a long time looking for the "international foods" section. So long that we wrote a blues song about it. Then I forgot to get brown rice, among other things.
At the bus stop this morning, 3 women in a car with Ontario plates pulled up. The one in the back smoked a cigarette while asking guy-from-bus-stop (Peter? Brian? One of the Family Guy characters. He gave me a ride to school once.) how to get to the Waterloo outlets. When told that was 45 minutes away, she asked about Greece Ridge Mall. When told that was on the other side of town, she asked about the closest. He directed her to Marketplace. She asked if that mall was any good? What was the best? "Eastview", he told her. As he told her this, the bus pulled up and her driver pulled away. I don't think she was satisfied.
On the bus, a lot of people were reading big ol' hardcover books. A selection:
Coming of Age in Second Life,
Twilight Watch (which I originally thought was
Twilight, then the
Eastman-student-type reader moved his hand),
Haunted Media: Electronic Presence from Telegraphy to Television, and
The Mahabharata. The individual snoozing in the seat behind me was reading official looking documents about how to be sure to get a fair trial.
