case of the mondays

usually, especially working or at school, getting a case of the mondays is a regular routine. since i am in a sort of limbo situation, i do not have the mondays.

after eating a delicious brunch with my father, including dungenous crab, fried tilapia, and scrambled eggs, we made an appointment online for eye exams for the both of us at america's best.

have you seen these commercials? they claim that it's $69.95 for two pairs of glasses. bullshit. after sitting through the exam, i come to find out that if i want lenses less than 2 inches thick, i have to pay an extra sixty bucks. add other miscellaneous costs, and my total ends up just over $200. fucking bait and switch bastards. i bought the two pairs anyways, as i have had the same frames since 1999.

tonight ended at houlihan's, with a couple of drinks with aymeei, dan, and chuck. aymeei even bought us a round of soco lime shots to take the edge off. i'm drunk and ready to pass out to x-files, like the fucking drunk nerd that i am.

giving thanks

last year, erin and i spent thanksgiving at cammie's place in the city. it was an intimate gathering of cam's close friends. i made some baked mac and cheese that i was very proud of... it was delicious. but betsy broke my casserole dish on purpose, because she had her own mac and cheese she wanted everyone to eat. just kidding, but i dish really did break, and it really was betsy's doing... accidentally, on purpose. heh. anyways, this is the first thanksgiving in 5 years, that i haven't spent with erin. very strange, and sad too. i've found myself reflecting on the friendships that i've made over the past couple of years... thinking about the people who come into and out of our lives so quickly. as you may be able to tell, i'm a nostalgic little fuck. i live every day like it's a big event. i try to treat those i've just met, like they're my best friend (unless they're a complete douche bag). i get sad at the end of the night when i have...

who sings that?

so i saw this jcpenny commercial today and i noticed two things... number one, jcpenny's marketing department or the ad agency that's helping them, has been doing a great job trying to improve their image. kudos to them. number two, they've been using some great background music in their commercials. i know that regina spektor sang one of the older ones, but in the one i saw, they used the song " all that i want ", by the weepies . and by the way, i don't know if you pronounce it weep-ies, like freebies or wee-pies, like levi's . anyways, i think that if you don't watch tv a lot, you pay more attention to the commercials, and in this particular case, the soundtrack was delicious.
