I Need A Box of XXXL's, Please
or Idle Thoughts Before a Lasagna Supper
While working the backroom today, I pulled down several packages of diapers. I was searching for the UPC when I noticed that they were labeled "Size: Jumbo." Really? "Jumbo"? Jumbo is fine for hot dogs and condoms. But if your baby needs to wear jumbo-sized diapers, you need to lay off the creamed fried chicken.
Speaking of babies, I have a new summer job. I've got an internship in Elkhart with Crown Audio International, Inc. which starts May 5th. Sounds good to me - the politics of Target are well beyond bearing for only $7.50 an hour. I get to do something that's not only relevant but also interesting. Score!
Which reminds me - I tried (and failed) to register for this fall's classes earlier today. I was mistakenly placed in the MET program instead of ME. So the professor I've been speaking with for the last month or so actually has no power whatsoever to enroll me in classes. Super!
On the subject of powerlessness, I'm going to have to move in with my parents for two months when I move home. Being at home will make the search for our own house much easier (not to mention more urgent). The one candidate that we were most seriously considering has already sold, so we've got to look at a new batch when we're in town in two weeks. These are all a little more expensive; hopefully we can talk at least one of them down. Negotiation!
Finally, in the same vein as new houses, I'd like to point out that Damien Rice, Tom Baxter, Embrace, and Tom McRae are all owning my personal airwaves right now. Summer concerts include Glen Phillips (tomorrow night, right here in Indy), DMB (Noblesville), Elbow (Chicago), Counting Crows/Maroon 5 (Noblesville), and possibly Radiohead (Noblesville). Oasis is touring the western US and Canada in the fall, so hopefully they'll head this way before the year is out. LP7 is due in August or September. Hearing loss!
Stay young, kids.
PS: Who would have guessed that my picture of Bill Nye has been the biggest reference link to this site in its entire history? I'm not sure whether to be flattered or not.
PPS: I've been entertaining idle thoughts regarding a facelift for Musing (only its second full revision ever). These thoughts will probably remain quite idle.
