Gross Gas Station


There is this little gas station across the street from where I work and every time I go there I wonder why I keep going back. One time they didn't have any straws for the fountain drinks. Another time the frozen slushie machines were dripping on the floor. Just today I went in and it smelled like burnt hot dogs. Then to top it off, the Cherry Coke and Dr Pepper fountains drinks were out. Nevermind that I usually get Diet Coke, but I usually spike it with a bit of Cherry Coke to make me feel like I am drinking a more delicious drink. To top if off none of the gas station attendants speak english very well. All well, until I find somewhere else that is close I will continue to go there and see what will be different that day.

Back Pain Pills



Ironically enough I threw my back out the weekend before my vacation starts. Not sure exactly how, but I know it's painful. I had to go to the store to buy some back pain pills and irony strikes again! The back pain pills are on the bottom shelf. Who does that? So evil. I sat and started at them trying to figure out how to get the pills without reducing myself to a crying puddle of pain. I finally decided to go ask the cashier girl for help and she easily enough bent over and handed them to me. Needless to say ibuprofen works just as well as back pain pills.

Week off List

For your week off, you should:

1. Rearrange your apartment (I like rearranging, just not the cleaning that goes with it)
2. Find your local library and read some good books
3. Sleep in
4. Take some pictures
5. Go to Body World
6. Try and return one netflix everyday, that way every day you get a new one. (as long as you have a two day turn around like me)
7. Go see Bourne Ultimatum
8. Go to Hickory and get coffee at the Barnes and Noble and see if the barrista is a girl named Marcie.
9. Go to Winston-Salem
10. Start a blog.

I am going to try and do all these things in this list from now until my last day of vacation, August 19th. Is it possible to do all these? We will see. Stay tuned for more details and to see if I complete the list. Well really I have already finished one as I am now starting this blog.
