I enjoy grocery shopping.

There, I said it.

AvB's gonna have your ass for that "just Crunch Berries" business. Crunch Berries are her life.

Jennifer Lopez is a pretty good actress when she chooses to be. I think she went for the money/fame instead of the career/credibility. We should be grateful that she appears to have given up on a "music" career.

You're not along in your Seinfield hatred.

At the grocery last night, some old douche-sucker was behind us in the frozen aisle. Literally two seconds after I stopped and grabbed something out of the freezer, I hear this impatient fucknut sigh loudly. DID YOU JUST SIGH AT ME, MOTHERFUCKER? WITH AN ENTIRE EMPTY AISLE AND ONLY TWO SECONDS OF YOUR PERCEIVED INCONVENIENCE??!?! So I stopped what I was doing, turned to him, glared and said, "Really?" Then I grabbed a few more things. DICK. This is why I normally grocery shop alone early in the morning.

Also, I love reading about plot holes in time travel movies! WHEEEEEE!

I hope Pinky was picking up some from frozen chocolate cake. It sounds like it was very much needed.

Ghosts are so the quarks of the supernatural world. Just because you won't necessarily see them in your lifetime doesn't mean they don't exist.

"The nuptials featured an over-the-top procession of 21 camels, elephants and horses, plus dancers and musicians.
The 25-year-old singer wore a sari and had henna designs painted on her hands as part of the six-day celebration.

I have a reeeeeeeeally hard time understanding why people do this. Neither Kate Perry nor Russel Brand have any kind of connection to India, why on earth go through all these traditions and ceremonies that, I'm sorry, mean absolutely nothing to them? Yes, you can say that they probably did it for the "exotic" part, but it's not only celebrities that do that.

I pity your lack of appreciation for the fun of grocery shopping. I pity it so very, very much.

It isn't like she is the only overweight black teenager in existence.

Look, ERM, I’m not a bigot. ...but when I go to the grocery store, I got to tell you, when I see an overweight African American teenage girl, and I think they’re identifying themselves first and foremost as an overweight African American teenage girl, I get worried. I get nervous. That I will be eaten.

I love grocery shopping. The key is to go sometime late at night during a weekday when no one will be there, and when you don't feel rushed or like you have anything to do. I could take hours just browsing around. In fact, I'm gonna go to Target today and just wander around for a while. There's no one there at this time. Glorious.

And now, back to thinking of test patterns.

I'm pretty sure this is all of the customers, all of the time.

AvB's gonna have your ass for that "just Crunch Berries" business.

Nah, no marshmellows in CrunchBerries. I'm a Lucky Charms sort of girl. (Now if he had said Lucky Charms, there would be HELL TO PAY.)

Glee is doing a Rocky Horror Picture Show-inspired episode this week (Janet.)

So. Since Rupert Murdoch is a motherfucking dick sitting on his scads of cash and I haven't had Fox for a week and a half now, who wants to tell me where I can illegally download this? Because I will be goddamned if I am gonna ever give him another dime ever for the REST OF MY LIFE.

That grocery link did not even begin to tackle my disdain for the supermarket. And I'm the person who IS IN A RUSH NO TIME because I want to be in, done and out of there before I FUCKING KILL SOMEONE. Although I at least try to look around outside of my own person forward scope before, say, barging out of an aisle or starting up moving again when I was stopped unlike some people who seem unaware that others exist in the same universe as they do.

That said, I sometimes stop to think about the magic of the supermarket and feel bad that I consider going to it once a week such a monumental chore. Like, I could still live in a time or place where I'd have to hunt and gather and prepare from scratch every single thing I eat. I could live in a place where food was always scarce and I don't know when my next meal is coming, or I could just be in a financial situation where I couldn't afford to shop for food once a week. Instead, I get to drive to a big building filled with practically any food I could imagine, and I can afford--within reason--to buy whatever my whim desires that week. That's pretty damn amazing.

I think the trick to avoiding grocery store related hyper-rage is timing. I always go at 10:00AM Sunday morning. I end up having the store pretty much to myself, the shelves are stocked, the produce is stocked, and the deli and bakery counters are open. If for some reason, I have to go the grocery store at a peak time; I listen to an audiobook on my ipod. Most of the people who read the audiobooks for a living have incredibly soothing voices. It works like a protective shield against the other shoppers.

I absolutely love grocery shopping. When I lived at the beach by myself for a bit this summer I would grocery shop across the way in Delaware. Where it is tax free muthafuckas. I love going to the grocery store (almost 90% preferable to be there by myself. In fact I actually get angry when shopping with others) and wandering around for an hour or so picking up stuff on my list and impulse buying, the whole thing. I've been too poor to grocery shop for the last two months (I like to supplement my school's food with food I actually want to eat and is much better for me) and I miss it.

Also Feist I can't believe you don't like Seinfeld. I have never watched an episode and not laughed. It's just good. I normally don't mind your irritable writing style but you seem especially pissed off today. Relax dude.

I find 10PM to be a very civilized time to grocery shop. No goddamn kids. I don't mind adults wandering around in a Zen like daze in the store, I do it too. But fucking kids running about... No.

Pfft. You should all be so lucky to get eaten by black girl. Have fun stealing all of our shit and fucking it up, nerds. Well, I'm off summering. TA!

Anna von Beav: You can watch it for free at Hulu.com. It should be up some time tomorrow morning. It's not even illegal!

...YET.

Am I the only one who goes to the store really late at night? Like midnight? Most of the grocery stores where I live are open 24 hours, and I work late.
Does anyone else have Kroger where they live? They offer a senior citizen discount on Wednesdays. Every week. Last week, I made an oopsie and went on a Wednesday at about noon because I just really wanted to make some macaroni and cheese and I didn't have enough cheese. OH MY GOD. Most of the customers in the store were over 70, and half were riding on those scooter things; the other half were shuffling down the aisles, stopping every 2 feet to rest and/or look at something for several minutes.
That is why I grocery shop late at night. The people watching is awesome, the night employees are usually really nice, and you can just wander, and explore, and pick up 5 different types of bread before deciding.
I realized that i'm rambling. In summary, the grocery shopping post was brilliant.

What if he buys General Mills, and ends up controlling access to all of the Luck Charms?

I had actually heard that Newscorp was blocking Cablevision customers from watching their shows on Hulu. Turns out that happened for about 12 hours, and then Hulu got into trouble because they're not owned by Newscorp.

Besides, I wanted to watch it RIGHT AWAY. AND maybe hurt these greedy idiots in the pockets a little in the process. It is, in fact, up on Hulu now, though.

I wonder how much ad revenue these morons have lost by now?
