molly just called, during my morning class. so i step out into the hall and answer, sure that one of these days the call will be about someone being in a hospital (knock on anything even resembling wood).
she says, "hey. i'm in the depths of wal-mart. trying to figure out the FLIPPING difference between starbucks breakfast blend and house blend. i mean, what the hell?"
me: uh, i don't know. i mean, breakfast blend sounds better...
her: i am irate. did you see the morning show yesterday? they were talking about how to "cut corners" while the economy's down. only, they didn't interview, you know, NORMAL people. they talked to these rich couples who were like, 'we're getting up five minutes earlier to brew our own coffee. it's hard, but we're doing it. and my husband's learned how to wash HIS OWN car.' i mean, can you believe it, mame? then, the woman's all like, FIGURED OUT how to cook. me? i've cut about all the corners you can. and years ago.

Oh I hate seeing that crap on TV. Like big fugging deal - you are washing your own car and cooking for yourself now. Welcome to the real world people! Geez...
Um, actually washing your own car is way worse for the environment because there is no way to trap and re-use water... Also, the chemicals and, uh, yeah, it's possible I've been in SF for too long.
