MARCH 23rd
What does that day mean to you? Thanks to our friends at Wikipedia, I found out it's the anniversary of:
1. Patrick Henry's "give me liberty or give me death" speech (1775)
2. The first recorded use of "ok" as an abbreviation for "oll korrect" in the Boston Morning Post (1839)
3. The birthdays of Joan Crawford, Akira Kurosawa, and Ric Ocasek (1905, 1910, 1949, respectively)
However, right now I couldn't care less about the above. Because on March 23rd, 2006.....the Giant right next to my house is reopening!! That's right folks, rejoice in the glory that is a nearby grocery store. Imagine it-bin after bin of fresh produce, row upon row of milk and juice, racks and racks of trashy tabloids. It's like the gods on Mt. Olympus heard my pleas and decided "well, we've kept her single this long. The least we could do is reopen the Giant."
Now, I know what you're thinking. Big deal, it's a freaking grocery store. So true, and yet so false. To quote George Harrison, "it's been a long, cold, lonely winter." And I can't count the number of times I've had cheese sandwiches, quesadillas, or stuffing for dinner because that's the only thing in my fridge/cupboard and I haven't made it to a supermarket in 3 weeks. Now I have no excuse not to eat a healthy, satisfying meal every night--except I hate to cook and I can't get Shannon to make me anything. But whatever, details.
So yes, rest assured that if you do come to visit me the food will be plentiful. And don't worry, I'll still make the weekend treks to Trader Joe's just for the chocolate covered pretzels. Those things are like crack.
Seacrest OUT!

For the record, March 23 is also my sister's impending 29th birthday, which has made me reevaluate my own life as it is centered around movies and well, movies. Awesome news on the Giant! I confess I am a Trader Joe's fan all the way (something about the Hawaiian shirts and the cheap wine that draws me in).
