what is the world coming to?
so at work today i got to go on an outing, (yes, i take outings at work) and as we were driving i was looking at the price of gas (i have a compulsion to do this, i don't know why) and it was actually cheaper to buy a pack of cigarettes than to buy a gallon of gas. I realize economics might be involved in the pricing scheme and that there may in fact be more limited resources of oil than of nicotene, but cigarettes should NOT be cheaper than gas. That is just encouraging smoking. Okay, i might be taking this a little too far, but...on the way home from said work, i did stop and get gas (not cigarettes) because prices had lowered during the 61\2 hrs i was there. I decided i wanted a can of pop (and don't tell me its unhealthy, i KNOW this, but did you see my current mood?) so i went into the little convenience store/gas station. They were selling single bottles of beer for $1.19 while pop (or soda for you wisconsinites or anywhere other than minnesota) was $1.25, and these were not small bottles. Granted, they were selling Icehouse, but still. I was seriously tempted to get the beer- I'm a poor college student! (and you know my mood!) Any schmoe that walks in there over 21 yrs is going to want to take the beer. Its not like pop is much healthier, but at least its legal to have an open container of pop\soda in one's car. So those are my gripes. But i am pretty sure the world is ending because when i got home after buying the gas after getting off of work, i came home to find a note on our TV saying that something is recording and please don't touch anything (we have a really stupid system where the cable has to be on the right channel and the vcr has to be on a different channel and if you try to watch anything else, it will record whatever channel you change to) so being the curious person i am, i turn the TV on, disregarding the note to see what is being taped. It turns out to be the one thing i never thought i would ever have to deal with ever again after freshman year of college. -She was taping wrestling!!! i realize my roommate's boyfriend is here, but he never struck me for the wrestling type; more of the fisher\hunter sports type. So i am pretty sure the end is coming soon. I just hope it comes before next friday.
