tote bags

You know what I hate? Whenever I go grocery shopping and go to check out, I give the bag boys like five tote bags to use instead of plastic bags. But they always overstuff three of the five bags with all my groceries — including the milk, fruit punch, and orange juice all in one bag! It always makes for three really heavy bags that I’d rather not carry. Just because my bags are more durable than cheap plastic bags doesn’t mean I can carry more per bag.

today’s big thing

I’m a fan of Today’s Big Thing, which is a video blog about (surprise, surprise) the big thing on the Internet for the day. Anyway, today they shared a rather moving Obama speech that brought tears to mine eyes.

Amazing, Moving Obama Speech

Finally, a candidate that speaks my language. This country has been waiting for a candidate that won’t give us up, let us down, run around or desert us for too long.

Sucker punch!

dog days

Yikes! August is nearly here, which can only mean school is starting very soon. No more obscene amounts of Civ 4 and Star Trek, how sad.

Today I closed my WaMu account because I haven’t used it since 2005. I thought I had $27.something in there, but it turns out I had $48.33. So now I feel rich! Whoohoo! Except we also just paid a bunch of wedding expenses, so maybe I’m not so rich after all.
