Remember how I've been complaining about the clutter in our apartment, in my life? To help alleviate that and also help my sister deal with our mom's stuff that has been in storage for ten years, we signed up for a space at The Garage Sale Warehouse. I had enough left over from my paycheck from our trip to Seattle to pay the initial rent of first and last. It means I can't buy us random stuff or Christmas gifts, but this means we can start a retail venture of being entrepreneurs in a way. We will have a space to sell whatever we want to. Our main jobs are going to be organization and display and tagging stuff in a clear and unique way. Everything needs to end in seventy-nine cents.
We got lunch at A&W/KFC mash up restaurant near The Warehouse, and although the onion rings were pretty great (but not as good as Burgerville) the burger tasted like it was microwaved from frozen and couldn't hold a candle to Dick's in Seattle. I hope I tipped satisfactorily at the hotel we stayed in because it was so quirky I would definitely want to return to it someday and be welcomed back.
We are binge-watching The Good Place and it is really funny and cool. I highly recommend it.
We often watch The Big Bang Theory, which I remember starting to watch in its freshman season on the internet sporadically... but we haven't seen it lately so maybe it will be one of those shows we watch in repetition during the holiday break from school.
We went shopping at Fred Meyer's tonight and in the parking lot was a kid from a class I'm assigned to clearing shopping carts and I said hello and found some extra respect for him for working so hard the night before he had to go back to school. I was also reminded of that boy I had a brief affair with who was working at a Fred Meyer's...because I was lonely and horny and I guess he was too. Weird.
That's pretty personal, but it's honest. I might detail my affairs someday here, because even though they were all weird in a way, at least I wouldn't forget them if I wrote them down. I probably did in journals somewhere, but that's the problem with paper journals is that they can become misplaced or lost.
Anyway, when we were at The Garage Sale Warehouse I was planning on just getting the space and leaving, but they had several to choose from so we had to decide and then there was so much great stuff to see and look at and I ended up buying some comic books for me and a Spider-Man for my nephew and a Wonder Woman for my niece (to go with the Wonder Woman socks I got her for late birthday present— I forgot her birthday this year! Because of being busy with school and extracurricular activities and getting my friend in California's present ready for her!) and...some cool records that someone had. I got: Carthage Christmas 1981, Dean Martin Everybody Loves Somebody, The Queen City Jazz Band of Denver, Colorado, "Charade" music from the motion picture by Henry Mancini, The Funny Side of The... Smothers Brothers, Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer Nat King Cole. I think my dad had the Nat King Cole one and the Dean Martin one. I almost got a Tony Bennett one that I already had but wanted another copy of, but it was scratched so I didn't get it.
Thanks to YouTube now we're watching Portal music videos because the songs are really good. Earlier we saw the Seth Meyers holiday family special which had Fred Armisen on drums in the band and is always really full of warm fuzzy laughs. Back to school tomorrow. Be Good. Love and Peace.
