Fisher – February 1994

Yesterday we went out and did a few errands. Of course since we can’t seem to get out of the house (unless it’s an important appointment) before 5 we ended up leaving around 5:30 and hitting all sorts of crazy traffic. We wanted to go out to Hatboro Beverage and get some Lindenmen’s Kriek (cherry lambic, $110 for a case of 24 12oz bottles.. so only for special times, like vacation!), needed to go to staples to get some cd-r’s (there was a sale on them, $40 with a $20 rebate for 100.. we usually dont like staples), and needed to get a couple pumpkins. Easy right? HAH! It took about 2 hours, the traffic was insane, at one point we got in a HUGE line of traffic and it turns out there was an accident (we found out later, turned around to go a different route so we didnt have to wait)… So finally we get home and realize that we didn’t get a corkscrew! Our previous one broke under extreme circumstances (it was crappy and cheap and we were opening a wine bottle with wax and a cork on it)… so we had to go out again. I guess it was around 8 when we closed the door and said “no more!” hehe… I made Boca Burgers for dinner, the yummie veggie burgers since we dont eat beef. And that was good, after we sat and watched an episode of mst3k and drank the yummie cherry lambic, and that is when I realized I am not sure if I could actually get drunk off it… it is quite sweet, and only 4% alcohol, I am not sure I could drink a lot of sweetness, but hey I have the rest of the week to find out %D

So I have a little review of Mort now:

Mort, By Terry Pratchett, 242 pages

The 4th book in the Discworld series, this book focuses on a character that has been spoken about and even present in a few of the previous books, Death. Death recruits a young boy named Mort to be an apprentice. Death leaves his job to the boy when he decides that he wants to have a taste of what it’s like to be a human. And inevitably the boy makes a mistake and starts to unravel the fabric of time! This story of love, adventure and Death is definitely one of the funniest yet, I really recommend it, even if you have not read the other books in the series.

Stonyfield Farm strawberry yogurt is yummie. I went grocery shopping yesterday before all our errands and I hadn’t had yogurt in a long time and realized I missed it. Stonyfield Farm yogurt is special too, for a couple reasons… 1. it’s all natural 2. it’s got a cute cow on the front 3. I met the guy who drew that cow and he lives in my hometown! Yeah, I was taking an intro to pc’s class my senior year in high school (i needed tech credits, and didnt want something challanging) and it was a good excuse to bring a famousish local artist into class. He uses a Mac, like most graphical artists, and besides doing the art for Stonyfield Farm he also did a great deal of graphical stuff for some Mac magazine… pretty cool, especially since my hometown is pretty small. *Finishes her cup of yogurt* so you should all get this yogurt ’cause it’s yummie and fat free, and all natural n stuff.

Wow, I just wrote a paragraph about yogurt.

I dunno what we’re going to do for the rest of the week. Probably just hang out here, I have a few books on my shelves that I still havent read… I’ll probably get Myk to take me up to the mountains or something later this week so we can look at all the pretty leaves, since in this area it seems the leaves just turn yellow and fall off the trees, very boring… I am so spoiled by New England’s beautiful foliage I guess.

Yeah, this entry has now come to a boring natural end.
