Grocery conspiracy theory.

55 degrees, cloudy
watching:  Jeopardy!

Does anyone actually know why grocery stores periodically rearrange the entire store so that suddenly you can't find anything more?  My nose for conspiracy tells me they believe that if you can't find anything and have to walk all over the store to find it, then you will see practically everything in the store while you're there, leading impressionable people to buy more things.  Those grocery people, they're much more devious than you think.

Who could have thought this was a good idea???

My wife is funny ... or disturbed.

57 degrees, rain
listening:  XM Radio 1st Wave - Classic Alternative (The Human League - "Don't You Want Me?")

just got this fancy tweet from the fancy wife a few minutes ago:

"Watching a 1st grade rendition of Frere Jacques ... the hand motions to the bells ringing reminds me of a bunch of little axe murderers."

Best.  Tweet.  Ever.

Trying to decide whether to walk around the corner in the rain to T-Joe's for trivia by myself.  I'm sure I won't melt.

Sir Alex Ferguson unhappy with ref after Chelsea defeat

Just once in my lifetime I would love it if Manchester United could lose a match and there not be an article a couple hours later with a headline starting "Sir Alex Ferguson unhappy with ref..."  I'm not holding my breath though.

On the bright side though, I got home from refereeing and saw that there was a replay of an FA Cup 1st Round match on Fox Soccer Channel.  I love early round FA Cup matches.

So, the fancy wife and I attended Chomp and Stomp in Cabbagetown yesterday and by attended Chomp and Stomp in Cabbagetown, I mean hung out and ate all the crack nuggets and drank all the Sweetwater 420 in the world at the party held by Emma, the hostess with the mostest.  In our defense though, they meant to order 100 crack nuggets but instead somehow ordered crack nuggets for 100 people so we were just trying to do our part to alleviate the crack nugget surplus problem.  And we were nice enough to psychoanalyze Emma by looking at all the books on her bookshelves.  And to interview her about everything she remembers about cigarettes from her smoking days (I learned that there are 20 in a pack and that it takes 7 minutes to smoke one).  We're good people.

Chelsea 0, Manchester United 0 at the half.  And I have to leave to go referee in about 20 minutes.  Not impressed.

Toxins toxins everywhere!

59 degrees, sunny
watching:  MSNBC

Forbes rates Atlanta 'most toxic city' in U.S.

"'In Atlanta, Ga., you'll find southern gentility, a world-class music scene -- and 21,000 tons of environmental waste. In spite of its charms, the city's combination of air pollution, contaminated land and atmospheric chemicals makes it the most toxic city in the country,' the magazine says in an article published this week."

Yay us!  We're #1!!!
