Hmmm.... (stroking my imaginary beard.....)

If the book The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure will "save your life" according to the founder/author and as repeatedly asserted in their infomercials, then why the hell would anyone shell out thousands of clams to actually go to their rehab (Passages Malibu)? A book has to be cheaper than a month-long stay at one of these palaces!!

Raindrops on roses, and processed fruit/nut spread on frozen bread.....

Is it wrong that I want to only eat PB&J Uncrustables and drink only Cherry Limeade? Gifts from heaven, those two. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I Scream You Scream and Squatting Murals

So.... lots goin' on over here, but a few things worth noting:

1) Yet again, a retail establishment has pissed me off due to closing early. I'm up here in San Rafael and I found a frickin' Coldstone, which I have frequented once a week for the past three weeks. I know they are open until 10, so I headed over tonight at around 8:30. There was a line of people and two girls working. Great. So then I stepped up and ordered my usual french vanilla with oreo and brownie, and she said "Oh, sorry, we can't do any mix-ins because we decided to close early so we have sanitizer on the slab." WTF? An HOUR and a HALF early? Isn't the entire premise/concept which renders Coldstone a successful restaurant the fact that you put mix-ins in their ice cream? WTF! They just kept saying "Sorry, but yeah, we wanted to close early." GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm writing a strongly-worded complaint to them. Why does this shit always happen to me?!?!

2) On the building across the street from my office there is a huge advertisement painted on the side of the building which is an outline of the Statue of Liberty and the numbers "1969" written below it. It's been up for months. Many of us have questioned what it is and what it means. I assumed it was a GAP ad or something. To this day, I still have no idea. So I just googled it. And yeah, I still don't quite get it. Whatever. FAIL. http://news.prnewswire.com/ViewContent.aspx?ACCT=109&STORY=/www/story/01-20-2009/0004957571&EDATE=

And... I just realized that writing the word "statue" after years of repeatedly writing "statute" is very difficult. :-) Oh. South Park just came on. Later!
