friday 13 june 2003 ~ planning

looked at digital cameras at WallyWorld last night. Yes, I'm a Wal-mart shopper. No, I don't feel guilty, when I see low income folks including migrants from Mexico in there on a regular basis. It's cheap. Sometimes I need cheap. And sometimes I need 24-hour convenience. And lately their clothes (made in China, no doubt) are much more sylish and interesting than K-mart and definitely cheaper than Target.

Speaking of K-mart, now might be the ideal time to buy some stock in Martha Stuart Living. At least, if I had spare money that I didn't owe other parties, or that I was planning to drop on a digital camera, I might.

donnerstag 12 june 2003 ~ revolution

Ack! I'm giving mzhughes a face-lift (the only kind of cosmetic surgery I'm likely ever to engage in)! Why the rush? the impetus? artistic siren? procrastination from a major project? any? all? some? yup.

Some musings on my upcoming trip to the land of Eire...

  • will I be able to drive on the left-side of the road?
  • will the Guinness taste as good as I remember?
  • will I find the wool socks and Aran sweater my heart desires?
  • will my mother and schwester find endless ways to annoy me, or will I be plesantly surprised?
