Rainy day will come another Sunday

There's a drought, but I'm originally from Northern California so I can use as much water as I want. It's my birthright.

… I recently made a second trip to Fry's in as many weeks last Tuesday. For those who don't know what Fry's is, the best way I could describe it is if Radio Shack went Wal-Mart with sodas and cookies.

I went last week for a back up drive among other things and thought I would only spend 45 minutes there. An hour and 45 minutes later I finished. It's easy to get lost, after all, it's "Wal-Mart" sized. There is so much to see, from big screens to computer PC fans.

I came back again looking for a multi-card memory reader for my Sony Memory Stick and Micro SD card. Well it sucked. While the place has everything electric, it doesn't necessarily mean it is high quality.

So I need to go back this week. I'm looking forward to kill more time there.

… I recently watched an episode of South Park for the first time in more than a year and I've missed so much. In this episode, Kyle and Stan are good at the video game Guitar Hero. The whole episode mirrors the rise and fall of a rock star except with video games. But the punch line is excellent.

I forgot how well the show makes its case without sacrificing humor. It showed you the hard times of a rock star with two fourth graders playing video games, but reminded you that it was just a video game with the punch line.

I have a lot of catching up here.

… There was a light that was recently installed by my window of my apartment room. I was reminded of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer couldn't sleep because the Kenny Rogers Roasters moved in next door. If you'd read my last blog, you would have known I've been a little sick so most of this week I've gone to bed without any problems. But now I can see everything in my room clearly, even with the curtains closed.

Opinions I’ve made Sunday night

I had an extra hour of sleep today, but wasted it.

…I went shopping and found an old friend in Ramen. I forgot how cheap that was. One package for 12.5 cents, you can't beat that, I don't care who you know.

I don't know how much I ate in college and immediately after college, but I could always count on the price. I bought eight for a dollar. It's a bargain.

…Another reason why I bought soup is I'm starting to feel sick. I bought this wonder product called Airborne. It's a product that was invented elementary school teacher from Carmel, Calif. It is recommended at the first sign of illness, but is not a cure for the common cold and flu.

As I read the instructions and dietary nutrition I found something out of the ordinary. It's Vitamin C content is off the charts. Each pill that is supposed to be dissolved in 4-6 ounces of water has 1,000 mg of Vitamin C. That's 1,667 percent of your daily allowance. It is recommended you take no more than three a day.

So if I followed the instructions, I would have 5,000 percent of my daily allowance. I know Vitamin C is good for you, but that can't be healthy, can it?

…It's three paycheck month. I'm using some of the money to pay for Christmas presents for my numerous nieces and nephews. Each year, it gets more expensive, but I love them all. I just need to remember what I bought them last year and make sure I get age appropriate gifts.

Ah, Christmas is only seven weeks away.
