"Why couldn't he send me shopping at the Tri-plex, or--ooh! Synchronizers!"

[batskeets]

storm_dancer informed me about a Free iPod offer! If you don't have one yet, you should check it out! (let me know if you sign up, too--just leave a comment or something) Most of the offers look like the kind that start out free, and are cancellable before you start paying for them.

So, I went on a serious shopping trip this afternoon, for the first time in ages, and I'd forgotten how easy it is to observe stupid things at the mall. Take for example:
1) a salesperson who asked a customer, "How do you pronunciate your name?" The salesperson was nice enough, but: Pronounce? That's a word. Pronunciation? Also a word. Pronunciate? Not a word.

2) While cruising by the increasingly-trashy Juniors department, I spotted a pair of mannequins with handbags on them. One handbag had stictched on letters that said, "Mrs. Timberlake," and the other said "Mrs. Kutcher," and DEAR GOD that's pathetic!! I hope I never meet the kind of idiot that would buy one of those bags. Seriously, that's pretty sad, even for a 13-year-old.

But, on the plus side, I finally got matched up with a foundation that doesn't make me look pink, and *doesn't* feel like I've gone and coated my face in spackle. Whee! Clothing-wise, I now have a few things for work, and a few things for home, and I got it all for ~40% off on average, so I'm pretty pleased. :)

Complaint of the day: recently, it seems that any and *all* telemarketers who call the house have an atrocious accent that makes them difficult to understand, and utterly irritating to listen to. WHY?? If somebody is obnoxious enough to call my house and try to sell me something, they could at least speak in a manner that I can understand.

Anyway, I'm going to complete the circle of happiness by picking up my takeout order of white pad thai. Wheee!
