i just got back from the grocery store. my artichokes already smell good. mmmm.

i actually went to the grocery store twice. while i was at the grocery store the first time, i passed this strange, korean looking woman who had an open umbrella over her head as she was staring at the oatmeal from 3 inches away. she was kinda hidden behind the umbrella so i stared at her for a few seconds before passing.

when i got home, i found out we in fact do not have olive oil in our house. so after i do what i can without it, i went back to hairy teeter.

and sure enough umbrella lady is still there, in the same aisle as a matter of fact, and hasn't moved more than 5 feet forward since i saw her 20 minutes earlier...

i grab my olive oil, check out, and as i'm getting into my car i see her one car over putting her bags into her van, umbrella in hand. i don't know if she was talking to me or to herself but she said very matter-of-factly, "i don't know if she was a real chinese dictator, but that's what i think!" i smiled at her, holding back my laughter and got into my car.

the other day, frank was telling me about all these weird people he's had working for him in the past and applying to the new albie's. he once had to alert an entire restaurant's staff to watch one of his cooks who liked to sneak drinks from the bar. he had this one older lady come in applying to be a cook who wanted to revamp his whole menu.

also, if you're driving in virginia and someone cuts you off, expect them to give you the finger.
