media woes
Ok so I'm in microcenter the other day.. and I'm looking for some white faced printable dvd-r's... something ya know 25 pack etc. All i can find is the mumbo jumbo 200 pack from Memorex. Now I use the Memorex white faced printable cd-r's all the time, those are great, never fail. The DVD's? Blah! the pioneer no likey, no no no likey! So I get to use those at work then.. blah.
Then I go to blockbuster to rent Underworld and Final Destination 2. "new policy sir!" Instead of the old policy where it was 3 bucks a rental and u could have the flick for 2-5 days (depending on its new factor), its now 2 bucks a day and its due back by midnight yadda yadda. OR sir.. you can partake in the big deal where you simply pay 30 bucks and rent 3 and keep them for as much as you like... $30 bucks?!?!? Oh you mean you want me to netflix them? Umm I have netflix, this is spur of the moment rental, not netflix rental... crap blockbuster! I hope they go under. I mean yer just now thinking of netflix as a possible threat? HA! Snoooze ya looose. Now every store has this new policy but you still have the same old inventory problems, u cant keep up with the netflix mass storage warehouse effect.. ok sure u have more stores, more locs but if you only offer a limited selection based on inventory.. why.. would i want to rent like that here. Bah... bang! Plus its not like i can return it to any blockbuster has to be this location... dumb dumb dumb!
The I snag a bite to eat at Wendy's. Spicy Chicken Combo, no biggie, lemonade, sandwhich no tomatto plz, chicken nuggets... and they tell me 8.48 sir.. and i say "ummmmmm too much.. its not 848..." they say "sir 848...." and I say "no its not 848.. read that back to me..." and then they say "sir its basbabsdasdansndna adsnadsnandnandna adnandnandandnandand" and i go i cant understand that and its not 848... "sir please pull around". Now i get the whole cast of spanish version of all in the family at the checkout.. and they act like our conversation at the walkie talkie frozen menu never occured... "848 please..." its not 848.... finally I break down and go into i am not of this planet mode... "do i have to pay?" "yes sir....848...."... "what am i getting..?" "2 chick sands lemonade..." "ahhh one sand" "one sand?" "yes one sand" "ok 649" "there we go"... oh and id like four sauces pal.. FOUR!!! FOUR I SAY I'm Taking you all down with me..
I'm on the hunt for a George Foreman Super Clean Roasting Machine! I've given up on coooking normally. The very notion of normalcy is disgusting to me. I felt like crap this morning.. feeling better.. maybe i'll be well afterall..
