yesterday Mary Beth and i went with Ryan to this tea place called crumpets where Ryan's roommate (doh! Ben?) works and we had some tea and dessert...then later Mary Beth and i went to target...on the way we stopped by Hephzibah and had some awesome food...the inside part had been rented out for a party or something so we got take out and ate in the park...then target...as i said before i got a gift card for my birthday so i was on a mission to blow it all...first was bookshelves which i've been burning through quite insanely as of late...i got a book (a rare event that there's a book remotely worth getting at fucking target but i guess when there is it's usually due to oprah as was this case): The Road by Cormac McCarthy...i got a couple games for the Wii: Wario Ware Smooth Moves and Big Brain Academy Wii Degree...their selection wasn't the tops...i got Chappelle's Show: the Lost Episodes (which may not be good but i had to blow this money on something!) and i got a $20 Wii points card for downloading old console games...i had picked up two and then put one back thinking after tax i'd be spending the money anyway and the one card would be extra...but it turns out i have $15 left and that other points card would have been perfect! so now i have to go back to target again at some point to spend it...drats! later Ryan and his roommate (the one i mentioned earlier) and brought over this board-ish game called uh...Settlers of Catan? and it was pretty swell...let's see, uh and i think that's about all...

thank you and thank you! (and, uh, i thank my parents too...)

shopping in terms of how much money you're going to spend (and i don't mean financial limitation-wise) instead of by buying stuff you want/need to buy is pretty difficult...it's like, on one hand, free stuff! but then on the other it's like you're spending your own money too...i guess figuring out $15 to spend at a target won't be so difficult...maybe i'll go to the other store...which leads me to a somewhat rhetorical question: why is it that the "super" target stores are only open the same hours as the regular stores? that doesn't sound very super to me...if you're gonna compete with walmart in terms of "superiority" you should at least go all the way! all the way in terms of hours, i mean...

I am constantly telling my corporate overlords that they should go all the way (at least where hours are concerned). But nobody listens to me.
