Do you ever involuntarily sing out loud while...
I think I freaked out two sets of people loading up their car in the Target parking lot tonight when they heard me sing ‘So if you don’t want me I promise not to linger, but before I go I gotta ask you dear about the tan line on your ring finger.’ at an extremely high volume as I got out of my car.

Balaclava: A wool hood covering the head and the neck, first worn by troops in the Crimean War. Balaclava (or Balaklava) was the focal point of the “Charge of the Light Brigade.”

jamesnolen:
Great Scott!: An exclamation of astonishment that was also a sly dig at the enormous girth and weight of Union General Winfield Scott. Although Scott was the most respected military leader in the army, in his later years he was too huge and too plagued with gout to mount a horse. His swaggering campaign for the presidency in 1852 is believed to have given rise to the...

Today I went to the following places:

Just a FYI
David McCullough is still alive.
For some reason I was convinced he died in 2008.

Watching the Civil War (post 1)
jamesnolen:
Watching Ken Burns Civil War makes me dislike Shelby Foote more than I already do, but I like that despite his local-yokel charm he doesn’t roll up his sleeves. He’s on television so dress like a grown up.

Receipts
Every where I turn in my house I find receipts I do not need. For some reason I feel the need to keep them around even though my finances are in no need of careful tracking.
I guess they would come in handy if, for some reason, I need an alibi.
“Where was I last night around 6:30 pm, Detective? Well according to this receipt I was at Chick-fil-a on Rangeline. The receipt says Jordan...

Laptop problems
Due to my laptop’s power supply going out on me I’ll be on a bit of a posting hiatus. I’ll still be able to check my dash via my iPod touch, but It’s to big of a pain in the ass to post on this thing.
Hopefully when I come back I’ll come back strong.
