threeplusfire | grocery stores and rain

I like grocery shopping. Perhaps because my mother always took me along as a child. I'm not sure. Perhaps it was Patrick's constant enthusiasm for the random items found in HEB. On weekends, I do my mother's shopping for her. I feel good today cause I bought lots of good food and managed to avoid buying a lot of weird junk. Which happens. Sadly HEB is out of Jones Soda. Those are so delicious. So bought some regular Coke, and some milk. Lots of small sweet tomatos, romaine lettuce and some dressing. Bread and raspberry jam. Pasta. Frozen pizza. No candy. I forgot the sour gummi worms I like so much. I used my sandwich coupon, though the guys in the store seemed out of it. I'm not sure what was going on there. When I walked in the guy behind the counter started yelling me about the blue bandana I was using to tie my hair out my face. All I could think was "Damn do we have a gang problem in the suburbs of Austin now? Great." He refused to take my money or my order. It was strange. I dont' think about that kind of thing. I just tied my hair back cause of the wind, and that bandana happened to be the nearest to hand this morning.

This grey humid weather is making us all feel so lifeless. Tatyana and I kept slipping between Russian, Czech and English today while doing our dialogue practices. Ack. Several us of suffer from this malady. Comes from taking Russian or being a native Russian speaker. Tomorrow I need to go check in with the Study Abroad office about financial aid. Oh I need a wealthy patron I can bake bread for and regale with my witty intellect. I need a job soon. I'm watching too much Batman Beyond.

Tonight I have so much to do. Study for my astronomy exam tomorrow, read for government, read a couple chapters of my Hrabal book for Prague class, go to the Respect Life meeting and tie ribbons for the candy we're handing out this weekend. Sometime I must find you and talk to you, thank you for that card.
