I was going to attempt an update over the weekend, but it turns out that Deepthought decided to volunteer to conserve energy by signing up for a power outage caused by the crappy weather we experienced over the weekend. Basically I was just going to mention that I almost killed myself and my daughter by almost falling down the stairs. Instead, I just cracked my head and rammed my back into a door jamb. These small miracles are what keep me alive from day to day.
I needed to go to the store today to pick up some things. While browsing around, I got stuck behind some guy that decided to park his cart right in the middle of the aisle, which irritates me, but that's beside the point. I cleared this obstacle, as did a shopper that was following me. After we both rounded the corner, the guy that was following me said, "Those gooks need to stay out of our way, eh?" Usually when someone says something inane or moronic, I usually smile and chuckle politely, which is probably why everyone thinks I'm always so positive and agreeable. This time, instead, I shot this guy a look of shock and disgust. The man with the cart that blocked the aisle was a wop or a dago. There was no way he could be confused for a gook. If you're going to use a derogatory racial slur, then use the right one! He recoiled as I gave him the look of death, probably realizing that he doesn't have the level of mastery of slang terms that he believed he had.
On a side note, whoever buys toilet plungers for seventeen dollars needs to stop. If you keep buying them, they'll keep selling them at that price.
