this week has been a swell one. so when Friday rolled around i was feeling good and unimpeded by any obligations.
plus the sun was out despite it still being cold, so i decided to spend the day immersing myself in society after my second class of the day.
i was at Bed, Bath & Beyond for awhile just walking around because they have the best stuff.
this back scratcher for one. i walked by and it caught my eye. it cracked me up, the idea of somebody carrying this around in their purse or bag. i picked it up and went in search of Angelica who was in the next aisle down by the trash bags because i needed to show her the amazing invention.
if i ever saw somebody using this in real life i would bust a gut.
smells begone!
this one takes the cake.
it's a great alternative i guess, to the possibility of accidently choking yourself while sleeping with your earphones on. i know i like to drift off to sleep listening to my favorite music on my iPod, because it's inconsiderate to impinge on others if you're the kind of person who likes to fall asleep to music or talk shows or the tv on in the background.
the concept of a pillow with a built in speaker is so odd to me. i can't decide if it's a useful invention, or if it's just another product supporting people's over-indulgent, unsatisfiable lifestyles today. so i looked the product up on Amazon to see what customers had to say. unfortunately, none of the reviews helped me decide, because it turns out that those who actually bought this product are retarded. it's like people have no idea of how to make things work anymore because we have been conditioned to depend on crazy products to solve our obtuseness.
we have a solution for all of your inane problems! if your boyfriend is an uncompromising child who refuses to turn the heavy metal music off while the two of you sleep, resulting in you sleeping on the couch in the living room every night, maybe he's an asshole? i just solved your problem for you. you're welcome.
hung around Brookline because Angelica was in search of wine to chug over the weekend. the little booze hound didn't have her ID on her so needed me on hand to make the purchase. i am every underaged college student's best friend. except that i don't have any underaged college friends because i cringe when i have to listen to them talk about their fake ID's and then see them stand around high fiving each other.
i don't know much when it comes to wine but i watched that documentary, Mondovino - about the globalization of the wine industry and its impact on the world, for a class earlier this semester. Napa Valley, where the Robert Mondavi wineries are located and most American wine is produced, was under fire from the French traditionalists in areas like Bordeaux, who base their wine-making on long established methods that run deep. like soil and family and culture deep.
basically American wine is cheap, and their modern wine-making techniques shits on the proper, traditional French ways is what i got from the documentary. the French know whats up.
i bought the two bottles for her and then we bounced.
after some Thai for a late lunch/early dinner we drove to the Asian supermarket to get bubble tea. well only i did. Angelica wanted to stock up on some items.
another plus to the two of us hanging out is that we can understand each other in our own languages, to an extent. A is from Jakarta. Indonesian and Malay is practically, kind of, sort of the same language, at least until we stop understanding each other.
she spotted a rack of fortune cookies and looked over at me. "you should get this. then you can have one every day."
ended the day with James Bond and her happily sipping a glass of wine. i decided to go crazy and had a Coke.
this is how we do chill Fridays.
