it was a case lot sale and one of the things on sale was a 12 pack of canned pears. i quite like pears and so i was humming and hawing over the purchase. $1.08 for a serving of pears? surely that’s a little too extravagant for my blood. i took a devil may care attitude and decided to buy them anyways. the cashier took forever to ring in my goods, eying the french side of the tomatoes, trying different codes on the register. only when i walked out did i realize that he had rang my pears through as peas and i basically paid half price. how sweet these pears taste!
good trend

i’ve had two separate dreams recently where my glasses could barely correct my vision to recognize someone across the street while squinting. back in real life, my prescription has held relatively stable for a number of years. what could this possibly mean?
i took my glasses off before bed, reached over and dropped them into a jug of water. this morning they were completely submerged.
the shirt said “smoking is my choice too, so fuck off!” on the back. the man was scary looking and the shirt had seen some use so i didn’t ask him where he bought it. sorry tom.
i have a backpack-style duffel bag given to me by my sister for my birthday one year. it’s probably one of the most useful gifts i’ve received. it needs the straps to be resewn; the thread is pulling away and i’m worried that they will rip off with every shouldering. i try to use the side handle at all times because of this. anyways, the purpose of this post was to let people know that airports aren’t safe places for these types of bags. i travel pretty often and less than half of the time my bag makes it through the whole system without being opened up. it’s pretty hard to open my bag deliberately, so i think there’s something else going on here. the bag in question has three grommets, a loop and a latch that fastens it. the grommets are a little too large and the latch actually gets pulled through them, making it impossible to open the bag unless it is pulled back out and disengaged. anyways, the purpose of this post is to let people know that baggage searchers can’t properly close bags of this type. most of the time, i find the latch hooked on to a single grommet, closing the bag, but not securely. two major annoying incidents stand out:
what am i to do but take a normal looking bag next time?
A long black is a style of coffee, most commonly found in New Zealand and Australia, but now becoming available in the UK, predominantly in London. It is made by pulling a double-shot of espresso over hot water (usually the water is also heated by the espresso machine). A long black is similar to an Americano, which is made by adding hot water to espresso shots, but it retains the crema and is less voluminous, therefore more strongly flavoured.
