2 part post

1. today i saw the new iPod nanos in the store... they are cool but i somehow felt i was going to break it when i attempted the "shuffle via shake" motion.

2. in search of specific craft items, today we went to both Michael's and A.C. Moore. i'm continually amazed by the fact that no matter which branch of either of these chain stores you go to, there are punk teenagers working there-- more often guys than girls. i mean, seriously, look next time you go if you haven't noticed this. i think i always end up at the checkout counter having my merchandise scanned by a 16 year old guy with dyed black hair, at least 1 visible tattoo, those earrings through his ears such that i can see daylight on the other side (i'm sure they have a name) and/or eyeliner. what about Michael's or A.C. Moore is so attractive to these characters? i am not sure i'll ever know.

previously described earrings are called "plugs". in order to wear them, one must up the "gauge" of the holes by gradual increases in size.

this would have been a great opportunity to use the word "aforementioned", melis.

damn, you're totally right... I even happen to share your love for the word and it didn't occur to me...
