Today's disturbing overheard conversation:
Woman in Pet Supermarket: "So I thought I'd given my dog AIDS, because she was losing weight, you know, but it turned out she was just pregnant."
Said woman afterwards bought an enormous bag of puppy food. I shall spare you the rest of the conversation.
***************
In news causing slightly less terror for the human race, athenakt rescued me from my homebound state and took me to a mall, which I still insist was experiencing an earthquake during our visit, or had suddenly been placed on top of the Atlantic Ocean, whatever she may say about the mall being Totally Normal, except, of course, for the sad truth that the mall also lacked a Godiva store and a Teavana store, so it was a Abnormally Deprived mall. We were forced to find comfort with an Orange Julius instead, a necessity after looking for dresses in a mall where the floor kept moving. (Well, moving for me.) One small annoyance: the saleswoman at Sears, who chatted on and on about the "Buy One Get One Free" deal -- which would have been lovely, but which had been the day before, and was thus completely useless information to us at that time. Afterwards we restored our spirits with watching videos of the original Barrage and dinner.
