Belly of the Beast
Went to the new Super Wal-Mart in Flora yesterday. It's really much bigger than it really needs to be. There was a Dance/Tumbling competition outside the place when I came in, and a cook out when I came out. Small town Americana, baby. The layout of the place was unusual. I had trouble finding my way around. They should really give out maps when you enter the door at a Wallyworld.
My big crisis of the day was that I, for no good reason, wanted to buy a Nintendo DS. I compounded this problem by dropping off some film with the one hour photo. So I spent over an hour in Wal-Mart trying to convince myself not to buy a handheld gaming system that I don't need in the first place. It is funny though, you spend your adulthood having to pay bills that cost way more than the price of, say, a Nintendo DS, but then you go, I can't afford a Nintendo DS. Bah! Responsibility sucks.
Anyway, I got out of the place more or less unscathed, although as usual, I had lost all respect for humanity by the time it was done. Oh, and I did NOT buy the DS, but I did spend a buttload on groceries. Vegetables are expensive. I would start my own garden, but I'm up to my ears in bunny rabbits, so I'm pretty sure it would be a waste of time.

We have bunnies, a groundhog, and a surprising couple of deer in our back yard here in the middle of the city. The deer don't go near the garden, though. Still, a solid chicken wire fence seems to do the trick for the rodents. That, and the black cat statues they put on the poles surrounding our garden. You can do like Nick does....grow hot peppers of any variety. It seems Minnesota bunnies don't like those. Could be the same in Illinois.....
And bunnies techincally aren't rodents. Yeah, I spent too much extra time in Wal-Mart and bought Carnivale's second season. But it's a good buy.
