Saturday

by Nathan on Mar.08, 2008, under Daily Life

I have been having trouble thinking of things to blog about lately. I guess I have bloggers block. So I took my camera with me today and decided that I would blog everything I did. This is going to be pretty exciting, you should probably sit down while reading this post.

I got out of bed at 11:00AM. I do like to sleep in, but this is pretty late for me. I was out playing Texas Hold’em the night before (came in third!), so I have an excuse. I had a lot of things to buy today. Here is the list:

  • Razor Cleaning Fluid Cartridges
  • Toothbrushes
  • Rubbing Alcohol
  • Tea
  • Bread
  • Cheese
  • Pop (Yeah that’s right, “pop”, don’t even get me started on the whole “pop” versus “soda” thing)
  • Soymilk
  • Pomegranate Juice
  • Berries
  • Banana Peppers
  • Pickles
  • Granola Bars
  • Nuts
  • Yogurt
  • Tabasco Sauce
  • Lean Cuisine Dinners
  • Fruit
  • Vegetables
  • Corkscrew Like Device
  • Stain Removal Pen

I showered, got dressed, and headed out for lunch at about 12:45. Here is a picture of me leaving my neighborhood in Brentwood.

The neighborhood looks better in the summer when there are leaves on the trees. Anyways, I made a short trip to one of my most common lunch spots, San Sai.

I had the salmon bowl with brown rice and the oriental salad. I always think it should be called the asian salad. Isn’t “oriental” politically incorrect? Then again, who cares? It was tasty and then I moved on to Target.

Now you might be wondering why I didn’t go to the Target that is two minutes from condo in Brentwood. Two reasons. One, I wanted to go for a little drive and go somewhere different. Two, this is the coolest Target ever. I call it metro Target because it is close to downtown St. Louis and feels so urban. There is always a good mix of people inside, and they have an escalator for shopping carts. Did you hear me? I said, “an escalator for shopping carts”. I had no idea such technology existed. I am amazed. After Target, I went to the grocery store.

Nothing too exciting here. This is the Dierbergs near my condo. I do about half of my shopping here and half at Whole Foods. I would do all of my grocery shopping at Whole Foods, but there are some things you can only get at the normal grocery store. I was able to find everything on my list except bread and fruit. Well, okay I could have found fruit, but the bread I wanted wasn’t there, so I’ll have to go to Whole Foods tomorrow. Since I’m going to Whole Foods, I’ll get my fruit there. Below is a picture of everything I purchased at Target and Dierbergs. For the record, I don’t put the cat in the pictures, he just likes to be where the action is.

Amazingly, this is almost $200 worth of stuff. How did life get so expensive? I blame gay illegal aliens who are hell bent on destroying marriage and instituting a socialized health care system. Kidding… Kidding… Please don’t throw things. Here is a picture of the cat doing what he does best.

After I got everything put away, I went to dinner with a friend at Rearn Thai in Clayton. Does anybody out there know what “Rearn” means? I’ve always wanted to know. I had the red curry, here is a picture of it.

Rearn Thai makes their curries mild, medium, hot, Thai hot, or extra Thai hot. I chose hot. I don’t know who the people are that choose Thai hot or extra Thai hot, but we must find them, capture them, and study them. They obviously have superhuman abilities. After dinner I came home, made iced tea, and started to write this post. After this, I’ll probably watch TV or a movie and go to bed. Thanks for joining me on my day. I hope you had as much fun as I did.
