hi, i'm gary.
“no one should be the sum total of their mistakes.”

SALE! SALE! SALE!
the 3/$1 tofu sale throughout chinese new year’s went over well. most boycotting grocers decided to resume buying our tofu and some even had 3/$1 sales of their own. there’s only one boycotter left… and they aren’t even the lead boycotter. in the end, no crude tofu embargo was necessary. and diplomacy prevailed. bush, you can take lessons from my mother. no, she didn’t attend yale, but she’s fought many battles.
since feb will mark the first year anniversary for the “little tofu eggroll that could,“ we’re going to have a sale thanking the loyal customers for supporting us and further enticing the other people who’ve just been eating us out of pocket for a year. the tofu eggroll sale is set for feb 19 - mar 4 and in that span, retail prices drop from 5.99 to 4.99 for the 5 packs and 9.99 to 8.69 for the 10 packs.
last week, i was buying some of our own tofu at 3/$1, since i was too lazy to stop over the factory and get some… and i don’t know why it didn’t occur to me earlier, but when i buy my own tofu during the sale, i’m actually making a profit (since heb is selling below cost)… i’ve got delicate lobes, and thinking about this is like staring at a moebius strip.

>> someone whom i’ll be doing business with actually used the word “brilliant” to describe me today. some words you just reserve for other people. i.e. “debonair,” “enigmatic,” “dope-a-matic.” if “brilliance” is that trait that enables one to work with a fervor that is unmatched by contemporaries, simply due to a dulled sense of distinction between what is “work” and what is “love,” then i can claim some of that. but it isn’t. when it comes to what needs to be done, my mom just has little regard for her own cartiledge. i’m just trying to catch that type of mad virus.
>> today while driving, i was thinking about wilde’s “the picture of dorian gray,” since i’m such a morbid narcissist. a pal of mine actually bought the book today… in O’ canada… this is rated spooky level 8 for a freak occurrence.
>> also today while driving, i had a McRib sandwich, some fries (w/ ketchup), and a root beer. i know, not only is this hazardous, but it is also disgusting to food connoisseurs everywhere. but unfortunately, such a combination of vehicular danger and cro-magnon tastes is quite normal for me.
>> two days ago, sasha calls me and asks if i could come take care of her for 48 hours, after her minor surgery. i've given up on discouraging her, so she's going from b's to c's. a 20 min event. and for those 48 hours, i'd be the one cooking some soup or any other type of comfort foods, and not asking her "can i see them? can i see them?" unfortunately, i'm in another state during her operation date with some other people who are way too excited about soy. i believe how one breaks up with an ex is almost as important as how one conducts themselves during the relationship itself. with that being said, our break up was sudden and quite bitter.
>> ft. worth, and 280 miles to make tomorrow... well, today at 5am. yeah, i know.
