Shopping conclusions & surreal sightings

I've decided that the only way that I can shop is to get it over with. Do it all at once. I went to the mall for the first time in a while to update my wardrobe (most of which dates from pre-millennium), partly in recognition of my new job. I can't be bothered to look for sales. I mean, of course I look at the sale rack, but for the most part, there's a reason why stuff is on sale (e.g. it's all XXXL or colors nobody wanted).

I can't do the go shopping all the time and maybe not buy anything, or buy one thing every month. It just feels like such a waste of time to spend all those hours "shopping" and not come away with anything. Terribly inefficient. So I do it all in one fell swoop. The next two years worth of shopping in three hours. Done.

Anyway, on my way back I saw several strange things. First, I saw an "Omega" restaurant. My NU/Chicago brethren may recognize the name. Coincidence?

I also saw a "Le Peep" on the way back. I didn't realize that "Le Peep" was a chain - but nevertheless, it was strange.

Last strange sighting: the Arm & Hammer logo on the side of a water tower. What significance does baking soda have in connection with a water tower?

Oh yes, two more things. New Jersey's governor resigned today, and revealed that he is gay and has had homosexual extramarital affairs.

And people in Tampa, FL are told to "flee" by officials.

How much more surreal does it get?
